"The 1st short demo of my new VCP Sequencer. VCP = Voltage Controlled Pattern. Yep, an incoming control voltage gets converted into a set of 8bit grey code. those bits switch on or off hte stages of an 8 step sequencer. however, each step/stage can manually set to ON, OFF or VCP too. So you have full control over each step all the time. In this Video the VCPS gets controlled by another Sequencer, the Baby10."

NOT NAMM: miniark.mov

"here is a very basic video of the 2nd snazzy fx product- the mini ark

(some of you know about last years audio ark)

(you can hear a bit of the actual dry guitar because the camera was so close to my guitar)

anyway, lots and lots of people asked me to make a box based on the audio ark. and this is what i came up with. It was originally designed for guitar, cello, and field recordings.on guitar it sounds much more like a tracking system/harmony pedal. on drums, bowed instruments, field recordings, and noise, it gets very unpredictable and you can always rely on it to create something unique. Right now this is my favorite to play with.

here is the product description

Foregone Inclusion - analog modular synth improv

YouTube via doctorvague
"Korg Monopoly (lower right) arpeggiator being clocked by the top row of the Moon Modular trigger sequencer (upper left). Bottom row of the sequencer is setting the Digital Delay time of the Modcan delay (far right white module). The Korg MS-20 (lower left) is being used for the filters in the feedback loop of the Modcan delay. NOTE: rest of patch and cords was leftover from another patch and has nothing to with what you're hearing. What you're hearing is the Monopoly into the Modcan delay with MS-20 in the delay loop - a very simple patch. The Monopoly is an amazing instrument IMHO. I'm just starting to see its potential. Ditto for the Moon trigger sequencer. It's a whole rhythmic instrument that can be played in real time.

This actually should have been called Part 3. It was the very ending of a much longer improv. The complete track is on Virb - doctorvague - Foregone Inclusion.

May I say just a general very hearty thank you for the kind comments and good juju here on youtube. Thanks to people watching - even you lurkers! And also to the grrrrreat folks who build all this cool stuff to play with and the friends at Muffwiggler's - an awesome hangout. Fun toys - good times."

Please meet RENÉ

YouTube via MAKEN0ISE
"The new sequencer for modular synthesizers, designed by Make Noise and developed with yerpa58. A short bunch of clips I took one afternoon while beta testing. The patch is same for all clips. Doepfer A-110 controlled by RENÉ CV OUT, Square Wave applied to QMMG which is set to BOTH mode and controlled by RENÉ Gate-X and Gate-Y. The RENÉ sequencer is driven by 3 clocks. The master clock generated by the Wogglebug, and then divided by MATHS to create the second and third clocks. Come see the Make Noise RENÉ, MATHS, Wogglebug and QMMG at NAMM 2010, Analogue Haven Boothe."

808 State Olympic - Music Video 1990

YouTube via TerryF...witt This one brings back memories. I was fortunate to see them live back in the day at a rave in Long Beach. Bjork popped on stage for a bit. Those were my rave days... 808 was a huge "legal" rave but the majority were small warehouses. You'd get a tip or flyer from someone, then you'd have to go to some alley or behind a Jack in the Box to get a little flower pencil eraser or something and instructions to the next check point. You'd do this about three or four times and finally get the directions to the underground rave. One time we finally got to our destination only to have it broken up by the cops. Music stops, flashlights everywhere, and you just make a b-line out of the building hoping you won't get caught. Like Sodom and Gamorrah, don't look back!!!
