"CV signals from a WalkingStick Ribbon Controller are processed in various ways, and used to control the pitch of a Modcan 46B Dual VCO. 1st patch = raw VCO out, 2nd patch = Ribbon to VCA to VCO 1v/oct, 3rd patch = Ribbon to VCA to Miniwave to VCO 1v/oct, 4th patch = Ribbon to VCA to Miniwave to CP-251 Lag to VCO 1v/oct with various Rise and Fall settings on the Lag. This final patch allows for uni-directional and/or bi-directional portamento on the quantized ribbon signals."

Doing Electro Harmonix Voice box treatments on the electribe drummachine

YouTube via RothHandle
"A interesting yet exhausting day in the studioI started out having about ten music teachers for a visit in the studio. Occasionally I have school classes coming by but this was the first time I had teachers which obviously felt kind of oddThey know so much more about these things than I do.

After the visit I actually sat down for myself with a cup of Coffee for a while and read some of a Tom Waits book I picked up a while back.

After the break I wanted to try some experiments with the Electro Harmonix Voice box pedalSo this is todays batch of videos. After these experiments I headed out for some Japanese lunch and then off to Alar Suurnas wonderful Shortlist studio to listen to a fresh mix of Nanook of the Norths track Get to work. It didnt get finished today but it is already sounding very promising.

This film was shot at Roth Händle studios in Sundbyberg, Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days producing and recording albums and artists. If you are curious to find out more about the studio please drop by www.roth-handle.nu It hasnt been updated in ages but you might find some stuff of interest there."

Quasimidi TECHNOX Synthesizer

via this auction

Googlish translation:
"Technox multitimbral synth out of the house Quasimidi.

The Technox is a specialist on the techno / dance area 19 "Racksynthesizer with 512 single sounds and 24 drum kits.
In performance mode can be up to 4 superimposed single sounds.
It might include 50 RAM and 50 ROM presets are available.

(There are still 5 performance sets, ie 5x 50 sounds on CD and several demo songs as a midi file for delivery)

The single sounds are organized into groups for better overview. This facilitates direct access lot. 85 Variations Bass, 95 lead sounds, 93 pads, etc.

Through the integrated arpeggiator sound programs can be true to life. In particular, the areas in the Performance mode will benefit.
I must say these have to last me very much. You can basically take a chord, a little twist on Modwheel and you're floating in the "Trance Ambient Heaven."

A device class that I should make a heavy heart. But I'm hardly on my hobby is collecting dust and Technox viiiiiiel too bad.

A few key data: 512 single sounds. 2 effect processors with 42 algorithms, low-pass filter with resonance, arpeggiator, Multi-Algorithm Sound Synthesis (MASS),
21 votes, 16 parts, terminals: MIDI in, MIDI out, MIDI Through, 2x 6,3 jack, 1x Footcontrol, AC.

Another thing at the end: The drum sounds are the madness. They come from the quasar and you can hear! I have used them in many productions.
