Study Music

Study Music from Pete Shambler on Vimeo.

"A patch that was left up and slowly tweaked over three or four weeks while I was studying for the GREs.

This is where it was the day that I took the exam.

Voices:

1. Tip Top Z3000, with CV from a Doepfer 160/138c combo sequencer, and FM from a Make Noise Maths (the first, audio rate channel of which is FMing the second, audio rate channel).

2. Bubblesound uLFO (which is receiving CV from a Voice of Saturn Sequencer), fed into a Doepfer 196.

3. A Boss Dr. Sound ("clap" preset), being triggered by the 5 and 8 steps of a Doepfer 161 (via a DIY "OR" logic gate).

The square out from a Plan B Elf LFO is the master clock of the patch. It is multed to (a) the Trig In on the 160, (b) the Clock In on the VoS Sequencer and (c) the CP4 input on a Doepfer 143-1.

The Envelope 1 out on the 143-1 is patched to the CV in on the top half of a Doepfer 132-3 (the Z3000/Maths voice); the Envelope 3 out is patched to the CV in on the bottom half of the 132-3 (the uLFO/PLL voice). Envelope 4 is sent to the Signal In on the first Maths channel.

"A small Buchla 222e system just out of the box.
Informally patched just to explore. Enjoy."

The GCP EGG Basket Observer - Social Siesmograph

This one in via Gerard. In the simplest terms, the GCP Basket Observer is an audio generator that triggers sounds fed to it from random generators throughout the world. GCP stands for the Global Consciousness Project.

"The purpose of the project was and is to create and document a consistent database of parallel streams of random numbers generated by high-quality physical sources. The goal is to determine whether any correlations might be detectable of statistics from these data with independent long-term physical or sociological variables. In the original experimental design we asked the more limited question whether there is a detectable correlation of deviations from randomness with the occurrence of major events in the world."

In short: random generators that somehow are not so random during major events:
