Buchla 256e as Clock Multiplier

Neural Pattern Generator Pt. 1

YouTube via wonkythomas

"Cos I'm too lazy to program sequencers, I mean come on pushing buttons & working out what "sounds good" is hard work, I figured an easier way to do it is to let some binary equations do the decision making for me, that way if the result is crap I can blame the machines... right?

Anyway. The 4089 is a 4 bit digital rate multipler that provides an output pulse rate that is the clock-input-pulse rate multiplied by 1/16 times the binary input.... Its an old chip that isn't as easy to get as many of other 4000 friends, mostly because these days I think sane people use PICs to "perform arithmetic operations"

I'm sure a tiny amount of code could do what I'm doing in this vid, but, I only use computers to look at pictures of other peoples synths ;-P

The module in the middle is the Pattern Gnerator, the four switches set the binary input number & it has a clock & clear input. The other two modules are the Clock Divider (D)Mux on the right & the Varilogic II on the left."

Neural Pattern Generator Pt. 2


"Same basic set-up, but now the Pattern Generator is getting a Clear pulse from the 512 division of the main clock. A little bit of Long Division always helps.

I don't alter any of the logic or clock settings this time, just the sound generators & modifiers.

After I've built the "Odd" version of the mux I'm going to do another pattern generator but with logic inputs instead of switches :-D

As usual, sorry about the damned bird noises!!! I swear I don't even notice them at the time, the mic in this cam. appears to be optimized for 'sunnyday chirping' frequencies!"

Yet another symphonic theme

YouTube via attorks
"The theme of this video somewhat resembles the theme I uploaded on 16 October of this year.
The first 2 rows of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer drive 2 voices with two six step sequences. The first voice you hear is from the Synthesizers.com which 2 VCO's are somewhat overdriven before they are processed by the Q150 VCF. The second voice is from the self built Modular with a bell-like sound. The brass-like bass and chords are done on the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The Mellotron strings are played on the Roland XP-80. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. I noticed the solo could be somewhat louder; sorry for that."

Kegel - Aria Rotta

"A somewhat stripped down piece using only my Machinedrum and my dearly departed Arp Axxe. A rather primitive bit of software was allowed to determine both the visuals, audio mix, and length of this video. Pun intended... yes and no."

BLIP II - One Mean Little Theresynth™

YouTube via chamberofsounds. Theresynth on Ebay
"BLIP has been resurrected! This time he's in color and with improved circuitry and hardware (sweet output jack & mylar speaker), making him much louder unamplified and with extended range particularly on the low-end. In the video he's going through flanger & delay and sounds great through a wide array of effects. I won't be making too many BLIPs, so get yours only @ chamberofsounds.com"

Alien Space Weaver Demo Video featuring Samira and Addon Waveset

"Alien Space Weaver Demo Video featuring Samira and Addon Waveset
Alien Space Weaver - a very exceptional synth which is especially made for spacey, deep or dark athmospheric backgrounds, soundscapes and FX sounds. One oscillator contains 75 very special samples i.e. partly fairly long ones being created from images providing very spacey sounds from the start already. Thus play it slowly and let the sounds evolve. This one is a tool too for those who like eerie, weird and really strange sounds to be crafted further via an easy to edit user interface.

"1st use of a screaming angel. Playing quietky with things built this year or made by designers for me. Oops forgot the x0x0b0x and the wtpa? Anyway something to dance to kids. Thanks Hugh Davies, steim and metal machine music (16 rpm). My first version earlier today had video frame dropouts, sound forge 10 issue. Sorry first seven viewers. Visit the American Radio and Electricity Museum in Bellingham, or buy their book, and drool zombie drool. Out."
