ARP Odyssey whiteface with CV/GATE/Filter Input mods

via this auction
"Features: When I bought this synth it had CV/GATE/TRIG input/output jacks previously installed by a company called MRE. (Not sure who this company is or was but what I do know is this is one of the few CV/GATE kits that allows the Odyssey to be triggered from a Roland MC-4 or other CV/GATE synth without hooking up a separate trigger cable. (Other CV/GATE kits required the trigger to be connected for some reason.) I wanted even more functionality, so a couple of years ago I shipped it to CMS (Cirrocco Modular Systems) and he performed the following service/mods: 1) cleaned all sliders and inside of synth 2) added a switch for the LFO to allow for free-running or trigger via keypress or trigger input (an absolutely essential mod) 3) switched low output/high output jacks so high output uses 1/4" jack and not the RCA jack 4) Added a 1/4" VCF input jack (I believe he also added an audio input through the VCF but I can't recall as I didn't have it labeled). 5) Upgraded and replaced all caps in the power supply. 6) Repaired a faulty voice 7) Tuned up the synth. I recently took it to my tech because the keyboard was only triggering properly from CV/GATE and was only playing one note up and down the keyboard if played manually. He had it fully tuned and replaced a diode in the keyboard circuit which fixed the keyboard issue. The keyboard is now scaling perfectly and the second voice scales properly too."

The HUE 008 : spectral apc modulation via

via Coloring Pad
"The HUE 008 consists of 2 APC's ((atari punk consoles. really four 555's)) built from scratch from the circuit board (set 1: yellow and green, set two: red and purple), with two knobs to cross modulate between them (orange and blue). Each APC is routed (respectively) left and right, for stereo goodness. In addition, the HUE 008 has a tint knob & switch (stereo ring modulator), a light knob and switch (one solo light sensor), a spectrum knob and switch (three light sensors housed inside the pulsing and spectrum cycling center light, which is operated by the lower center pushbutton), and a shadow knob and button (battery sag)... I attempted to design a super dynamic, fat APC, with the APC's being the signal for ring modulation, to boot. I hope somehow it makes somebody's top ten list of things that make ununderstandable noise somewhere.

I'd be honored and flattered. Videos will follow." Note the audio player further below features music from Coloring Pad for context. It does not feature the HUE 008 though as it was literally completed yesterday.

Update: video of the HUE 008 posted here.

No Other Time - A Clouded Lens from Richard Lainhart on Vimeo.

"'A Clouded Lens' is one of four films that comprise 'No Other Time', a project for which I was awarded a New York State Council on the Arts Film and Media grant in 2009. "No Other Time" is a full-length intermedia performance designed for a large reverberant space. combining live analog electronics with four-channel playback and high-definition computer-animated film projection. "A Clouded Lens" was animated in Adobe After Effects. The soundtrack was performed and recorded in realtime with a Buchla 200e analog modular synthesizer controlled by a Haken Continuum Fingerboard."
