Synergy II Demo

YouTube via cscairney
"The Synergy Synthesizer was manufactured by Digital Keyboards from 1982 to 1985. Its a pretty rare instrument and I've found it to be a very expressive instrument for having only very limited control over the individual tones.
The sounds played here are the ones stored in the internal memory."

4ms Rotating Clock Divider - CV Rotate Demo

YouTube via 4mspedals
"More info: http://www.4mspedals.com/eurorack.php

The Rotating Clock Divider takes clock signal and outputs a different division on each of the 8 output jacks (Jack 2 is divide by 2, Jack 3 is divide by 3, Jack 4 is divide by 4, Jack 5 divide by 5... up to divide by 8). A "Rotate CV" input modulates what division each jack outputs, which is like re-patching the jacks simply by applying a CV (so for example Jack 2 becomes divide by 3, Jack 3 becomes divide by 4, ... Jack 7 becomes divide by 8, Jack 8 becomes divide by 1).

This video starts with a Clock input, then three drums are plugged in so we hear a time signature of 2 over 4 over 6, then 3 over 4 over 6, then 1 over 4 over 6. Next, a CV is applied to the Rotate CV jack, changing the time signature without modifying the clock speed.

One of the drums has a photocell on its filter (not visible in the video), so you can hear some pitch modulation as my hand's shadow crosses it."

4ms Rotating Clock Divider - Reset Demo

"In this video, we're running a steady clock into a Rotating Clock Divider module and running outputs 2, 3, and 7 into drum modules. Output 8 goes to a second clock divider, and at first it's divide-by-1 output goes to the Reset of the first module. (so we have a 2 over 3 over 7 with an 8-count reset). Then its divide-by-2 output is patched to the Reset of the first module (so we have a 2 over 3 over 7 with a 16-count reset). Then the reset patch is removed and just a single module is used as 2 over 4 over 8. In this state, a CV is applied to the CV Rotate jack, making all kinds of different time signatures..."

4ms Rotating Clock Divider - AUTORESET

"This video shows the auto-reset feature.

This particular module has a removable jumper on its PCB that tells it to reset the count every 16 clocks. So the weirder divisions (3/5/6/7) stay in tempo, since they come back around every 16 beats. We start with divide by 2, then add divide by 3, then add divide by 4. Then we change the divide by 2 to a divide by 1. Then we apply a CV to the CV Rotate jack and change the patching of divisions to jacks."

circuit bent vocoder casio rapman

YouTube via spunkytoofers. be sure to watch the second video below.
"spunkytoofers freakbox. in this video the rapman has a vocoder input which is processing the casio vl tone's rhythms. the effect input gets processed but is also possible to modulate internal feedback patterns within the circuit bent vocoder filters.
each knob controls a different filter each one seemingly overiding each other until there is only internal feedback played. it's does require tweaking to get the most out of it since all the controls are interactive and definately a hot signal if you want it.
also added controls that glitches the rapman's digital logic. it is a random glitch chance button with body contacts that produce random results. very often strange loops and glitchscapes occur. ever so more rarely it results in self compostions. for a demonstration of the rapman self composing along with playing around with the vocoder feedback played live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVbUxj..."

M-Z3R0 - curcuit bent ULTRA VL1 (concertmate - 200) part 1 of 3 - preset sound and beat manipulation

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0
"The first of three videos demoing my casio VL1 based project. This one concentrates on manipulating the preset sounds and beats to create electro rhythms and later on some very NIN year zero inspired sound effects over a distorted beat. Part two focuses on subtle melody and sound fx and part three shows it creating all out wall noise and PE style sonic hell.

Can be built on request. PM me if you're interested."

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent ULTRA VL1 (concertmate - 200) part 2 of 3 - melody with Subtle LFO and delay

"Part two of three of my casio VL1 demos. This focuses on melody and subtle use of the LFO and embedded delay, moving on to trippy sound effects and then veering off into noise territory. Part three shows the absolute extreme end of what this machine is capable of."


M-Z3R0 - circuit bent ULTRA VL1 (concertmate 200) part 3 of 3 - harsh noise and power electronics

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0
"Third part of three demoing my circuit bent concertmate - 200 based synth. (identical in every way to a casio VL1)....

Concentrating solely on the extreme noise this thing can make using it's embedded delay circuit and LFO mods..."

EMS TKS, DK11 and RVG

via these auctions

"Extremly rare EMS TKS Sequencer Keyboard, 256 notes, similar to KS of the Synthi AKS suitcase. This is a very rare version for VCS3 mk2 or Synthi A with a very nice teak-type Danish looking wood cabinet. If you own a VCS3 MK1 old release, you can purchase an inexpensive power supply and modify a VCS3 jack to power the TKS."

"EMS Random Voltage Generator module (RVG) a good expansion for Synthi, very nice also for driving analog synthesizers and modular systems"

"vintage EMS DKII oscillator keyboard for VCS3, AKS , Synthi A (Mark 1 and 2) in excellent working and visual conditions... it has a built in oscillator for external modulations, the rear jack is the wave out."
