BLeeDing shalm

"This patch-video might remind you at the "PLL Arabesque" video from boobtube356. And yes, indeed there is a PLL involved in this patch as well, but it's not the PLL forming the main character of this patch. You can see and hear that the PLL output initially comes in at about 1:00. What you hear before is just the output from the Cwejman BLD, nothing else (beside some reverb of course).
The BLD is being controlled by an A-155 sequencer. As the BLD has inputs for both Attack rates as well as for both of the Relase rates, these are being driven by a Doepfer A-143-1 Complex envelope generator running in AD-mode. The mixed output of this module also defines the first note of the A-155 sequencer.

The "arabesque" character of this patch mainly comes from a high glide setting of the A-155 sequencers Post-output. The shalm like sound is caused by proper setting of the BLD.

The intermittent "screaming distortion-like" effect is achieved by triggering the sequencer with a clock in audio range (the square output from the PLL) from time to time (switching between PLL-LFO and the A-154 internal clock using a A-150 VCS)."

"News from my KFEE (Klanglabor für experimentelle Elektronik).

This session has been performed and recorded without any Computer or MIDI-devices. Only some outboard equipment has been used on the final signal (compression and reverb).

Unfortunatly the cam's mic does not have a very good frequency range so the bassdrum has not been recorded very well.

The starting sound comes from a sequenced A-112 Wavetable Oscillator which will be faded out when the main sequence comes in. The main part of this patch is the combination of an A-155/A-154 Sequencer and Controller, a quantizer and a SQ8 Sequencer which is transposing the sequence by using the A-156' transpose input). The A-154 mode will be switched between forward and pendulum by a LFO. On top of this there is a Heisenberg generator which is responsible for changing the number of steps between 1 and 8 by random (very slowly of course).

If you are wondering whats in the lower left corner of the rack (which you can't see in the video): nothing more than a A-164-1 Manual Gate which is being used to reset the sequence manually (and to start/stop the sequencer itself).

The VCOs being used are two TipTop Audio Z3000. The first one is generating three different waveforms which are being mixed together. The second one is acting as a suboscillator. "

"A short improvisation with my new Cwejman BLD-6 Bass-Lead & Drum generator. The BLD is being sync'd by a Z-3000. The CV's and clocks are being provided by the Flame clockwork module. Beside the Cwejman MX-4S, a LFO and some delay no more modules are involved here. So the sound you hear is just from the BLD-6."

Clockwork Blue

"This video is a demonstration of the Flame Clockwork module. The only parameters which are being changed during the session on the clockwork are the quantizations of the three channels.
The module is triggering a Cwejman VM-1 and a Doepfer A-112 Sampler via CV/Gate as well a a Rob Papen Blue synthesizer and an Waldorf Attack Drumsynth via Midi."

"So...

During the video I turn the Macro-Function several times on & off... just to see how it looks like.
Unfortunately i hadn't much time today so i didn't realize that it is sometimes really blurry... but nevertheless it's a good track! :D
...and it was only made in 1 hour ;)

ENJOY!!!

seiko ds-250 additive synthesizer organ

via this auction

"apparently in the early days of digital synths a unknown organ company developed the technology that is now in the seiko ds-250. in the early 80's the original designer asked for a price too insane for the market to handle and it failed miserably, that's when seiko licensed the technology and synthesis methods and failed with it's production of this keyboard.

it reminds me of old organs i've used like the conn electric band sans spring reverb or the moog organ sans filter except the seiko is bi-timbral. it has some basic preset sounds selectable for each timbre which define timbre and attack while there are simple controls on each voice for volume, decay, modulation slider with a on/off switch for a delay into the lfo cycle. you can detune the voices up to 14 percent and you can assign each note of polyphony a few selectable intervals. a chorus reminescent of the old junos. single voice mode, bitimbral mode or split point voices. key transposable, volume controls, pitch wheel, on/off buttons and a nice layout with simple but nice led displays.

no memory but it's simple to setup. midi in/out./thru. midi seems primitive as i could really only get note on/off to respond although there is a way to recieve each voice over midi by a 16 way rotary switch by each voice. supposedly you can control detune via midi CC although this is from word of mouth. 1 voice per 2 output on 1/4" also on the side panel is alternate summed mono output, headphone jack, pitch fine tune, stereo rca outputs. input to footswitch sustain (works as sustain on/off rather than hold) input for trs expresion pedal for volume.

the video below is a short demonstration of the actual unit.. you will find a few other very rare mp3's online as well but i am not going to seek permision to repost here.. just do a search."
