SHIFT LATCH SLOPE

YouTube via wonkythomas
"Psuedo Random bit from the CGS Digital Noise sets a latch & triggers the Voltage Controlled Slope which resets the latch. 808 bass clone booms into the Bi-N-Tic switched capacitors & is smashed to pieces by the Wave Multiplier. 2 VCOs are modulated & modulate.

This noodle started off testing a little cct. I pieced together to give me End Of Cycle pulses from my fixed Attack, Decay generators... it works really well! & also produces a nice offset & inverted version of the envelope! 2 FOR 1!! I love a bargain me!

The rapid fire pitch modulations, or, 'big stoopid gabba-ish kick drums' were created by feeding my CMOS Binary Multiplier Pattern Generator (the one with the green LED & red/blue capped switches) into a Frequency Divider via the Blacet Binary Zone clock input / output. The BZ senses tiny fluctuations in the input signal & amplifies the crap out of them which in turn get chopped up by the /1.5 & /3 outputs of the Divider. Note; the pattern changing the pitch (slowly) is the same pulse signal creating the (super fast) pitch modulation 'kick drums'

More 2 for 1!!!!!"

Analog Synth Noodle - Klee Sequencer in Random Mode w/External load.

YouTube via bchris1776

"This is my DIY Analog Synth 'noodling' - that is, playing on its own in real time. This is a simple patch - despite what it may look like from the cords. I'm only using a very small part of the modular for this one.. and I still have patch cords left. I usually keep plugging things together til I'm out of cords - or plugs. :p
I have the Electro-Music Klee sequencer in random mode and it's using the External Load - That's the 'lead' part you hear. The sequencer on the 'bench' is a version of the Baby 10 I've been putting together. A sample and hold (using a noise source) is changing the resonance on the filter for the lead part. Drums are Ken Stones (CGS) design - ringing oscillators, The CGS Pulse Divider clocked by the CGS Gate Sequencer is creating the beat. I'm using VCA's to mix things in and out every now and then - including the 'sliding' notes from the Klee, and some doubling of the lead part.
Modulars are just fun."

Baby8 VCP Sequencer (proto)

flickr by fonitronik

"here is the finished module using a proto PCB. works quite fine!
it basically is a 4017 based step sequencer providing CV out, Trigger out, and Gate out. the tricky part is the voltage control of the possible patterns: an incoming CV gets manually scaled to 0-5V (LEDs will help to do that), and then gets processed by a 8-bit ADC. the parallel out gets converted to grey code and switches the steps/stages of the sequencer on or off. they can be controlled manually too, by using the toggle switches that overwrite the ADC data...

NAMM: Mellodrama at NAMM

via the BIG City Music blog, and mentioned in this previous post. Note the event will start with Amin Bhatia and documentary filmmaker Dianna Dilworth discussing the impact and evolution of vintage keybards. Michelle Moog-Kouss will join for a Q&A. You might remember the name Amin Bhatia from this previous post.

YouTube via MellotronMovie

"From a California garage to Royal Albert Hall, Mellodrama is a documentary film by Dianna Dilworth that explores how the haunting sound of an ingenious contraption called the Mellotron changed the production and texture of popular music, from the Beatles to Kanye West.

The film will be released on DVD at the end of 2009.
