image and sound are created immediately by speaking and vocalizing into a microphone and modifying the voice through signal processing while the software is analyzing the sound to create animated abstract visual text-compositions.

"Sync 24ppqn dinsync drum machines and sequencers to Max and make them swing.

ol.dinsync~ turns a ramp from a phasor~ into 24ppqn dinsync and allows you to slew the signal for swing/shuffle

This only works with an audio interface that passes DC, such as most MOTU interfaces.

Cowboy and the Vocoder and the MMM

A tribute to the dog Cowboy who passed away.

YouTube via redmartian. Note this is via redmartian and not AnalogVocoder1 (click for the reference).

"A song written for a dog who likes to listen to the sound the Roland SVC-350 vocoder. This song features the MMM as well as a Sequential Circuits Drum Traks and a Roland Jupiter-6.

Here are the lyrics:

Do you know Cowboy
and the SVC-350?
Do you know Cowboy
and the Roland Vocoder?

Hey there Cowboy
I see you there
Lazy gazing
Gazing lazy
Whos my sweet boy?
You know its you.
I like to vocode and you do too.

No Poly-800 to drive the SVC
So I use an MMM as my carrier wave
No Poly-800 but Cowboy doesn't mind.
We all know its the Roland SVC-350 vocoder time.

Audio version can be found here:

And the first track from this post:


FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR DEMO NUMBER FOUR from RED MARTIAN on Vimeo.

"Here is a fourth demo which features a LP and HP triangle wave arpeggiation nearly through out and a quick EG three oscillator bass. The drum kit is the same as in the other demos with no pitch changes or other processing, just dry sounds out of the VCA. There are two leads one is just two oscillators (saw) and the second has a square and a saw with the saw slight modulated by an LFO with high resonance on the filter.

The bass and arpeggiation were played and quantized in logic. The leads were recorded as played."

Modules from SYNTHWERKS

"The iP/iPT-1 iPhone / iPhone Touch Player Module is a module I just made for myself. It will be provided by request only. The user will have to provide the iPhone or iPhone Touch and a iPhone base station to complete the system. The iPhone/Touch is mounted to the panel via Velcro and is powered through the dock from the synthesizer +12v buss. The line level audio out from the iPhone is provided via jacks for both the left and Right channel.

The module is a standard 28HP width and requires +12 volts."



"The P/V Filter Plateau / Valley Filter Module combines a 24dB/Oct Low pass and High pass filter in one module switchable into series (Plateau) and parallel (Valley) modes. The distance between each filter is controlled via the Spread manual control and the scalable CV input (positive voltage moves the filters apart). A shared CV input (V/Oct and scale able) CV moves both filters up and down in tandem. Each filter has its own “center” frequency, resonance, and input level controls.

The module is a standard 14HP width and requires +12/-12 volts."


"The ATTN-1 Manual Attenuator Module passive attenuator module with two sections. The top section uses a dual pot to control two sources at the same time, one inverted from the other. The second section controls only one source. This is a passive module and requires no power.

The module is a standard 8HP width."



"The PGM-4X4 4X4 CV Programming Matrix Module has an array of four columns by four rows of manual control voltages set by a matrix of pots. One of the columns of knobs can be selected at a time to be outputted to the row jacks on the right side of the module. The columns can be selected via a external gate input (from a FSR series module for example) or from the column’s manual push button switch. A panel LED indicates the selected column.

The module is a standard 28HP width and requires +12/-12 volts."


"The FSR-1 and FSR-2 Force Sensing Resistor Modules use a force sensing element that produces a continuous, scalable voltage proportional to the level of force applied to the sensing element. This voltage is also used to produce a gate signal when it’s level passes a user defined threshold. A toggle function is also provided that alternates between high and low states with each normal gate. A panel LED indicates the gate activity.

The FSR-1 module is a standard 10HP width, the FSR-2 is 4HP and both require just +12/-12 volts."



"The TS-1 Thumbstick Module is a joystick module that uses a compact, spring loaded game controller style Thumbstick instead of the typically larger joystick assembly. This Thumbstick module has an integrated push button that activated when the button assembly is pressed. The module outputs two scalable control voltage proportional to the sticks position in X and Y locations and outputs a standard Gate (with LED indicator) when the Thumbstick controller is pushed.

The module is a standard 8HP width and requires +12/-12 volts."



"The FSR-1 and FSR-2 Force Sensing Resistor Modules use a force sensing element that produces a continuous, scalable voltage proportional to the level of force applied to the sensing element. This voltage is also used to produce a gate signal when it’s level passes a user defined threshold.

The FSR-1 module is a standard 10HP width, the FSR-2 is 4HP and both require just +12/-12 volts."


"The MG/T-1 Manual Gate/Trigger Module use a arcade style push button to produce a manual gate and trigger when pressed. The mechanism is very light and reacts quickly allowing very quick gate production. The unit also produces a short duration trigger pulse output. A toggle function is also provided that alternates between high and low states with each normal gate. A panel LED indicates each outputs activity.

The module is a standard 8HP width and requires +12/-12 volts."


"The PC5V Patch Cord Checker and 5V Source Module is a +5 Volt power supply and patch cord checking module. The +5V supply is derived from the +12 Volt buss and is returned to the +5 buss lines to be used by other modules. The +5V supply is also brought out to front panel jacks so it can be used by other modules via patching. The patch cord checker lights LEDs when a cord is inserted and the cord functions correctly. There are LEDs for both the signal and shield connections.

The module is a standard 4HP width and requires +12 volts."

"We specialize cutting and etching acrylic, specifically to create blind panels for you modular synthesizer system. We wanted to give people a way of making their modular even more "their own" then ever before. We use 3mm thick acrylic that will fit perfectly into your modular setup, whatever the size. We can cut and etch practically anything you can imagine. Panel templates are available for all current modular synth setups: Euro, MOTM, Wiard, Modcan and Frac. Panels come in many colors, opaque or translucent and even completely clear. You can pick from a stock design, or upload your own custom artwork.

We can also do other custom etching and cutting - DIY module panels for instance. And although we do not offer any metal cutting, we can etch your supplied aluminum faceplates, laptops or whatever you might need.

We will soon be offering more than just panels as well..."
