YouTube via DIGITALSCREAMS — April 24, 2010 — "Rare promotional CD for the Japan release of the Korg MS2000 (circa 2000). Some of the sounds may have found their way onto the US and JP websites...but many have never been heard before. Includes a second part...."

Derek Revell's EMS VSC3 Clone Project

Full details on Derek Revell's website. PCBs are now available if you'd like to make your own EMS Synthi A or VCS3 clone.

The bottom image here is the clone.

"I have made the clone , using the dimensions of the original VCS3 they are H 44cm x W 43cm x D 42cm.

The panels sizes are upper W 40cm x H 32cm x 2mm and the lower panel is W 40cm H 30cm x 2mm.

The VCS3 clone is complete on 16/03/2010, but needs fully calibrating, as there are some differences with the pots and internal wiring.

I was fortunate enough to obtain the almost complete circuit diagrams of the VCS3/Synthi A, unfortunately there are so many errors in the drawings, compared with the actual circuit boards, and the internal wiring of the patch panel and front panel potentiometers that I decided to completely re-draw the originals, a very time consuming task, I have also finished the track layouts of the three main PCB's."

lofi diy slinky spring reverb experiment - with shs-10 and Noise Hero

YouTube via ChrisLody — April 24, 2010 — "Sorry for the volume fluctuations and distortion in this video, i did my best to even them out a little.

I had a play around with this after finding this article on how to build it:
http://www.nicolascollins.com/texts/T...
From here:
http://www.nicolascollins.com/

The video show the dry output of the keytar and Noise Hero then wet through the diy reverb , which is basically just a slinky taped to a speaker with a contact mic mounted on it but it can make some pretty cool noises which remind me of the reverb in old dub records. Sounds pretty good with drums going through it which i forgot to do here. I found i got the best results with the mic near the speaker as quite a lot of the dry sound makes it to the contact mic and mixes with the reverb. Also i found it best to gather enough of the slinky at the top to allow space between the coil at the bottom to prevent any resonant rattling. It can make some very star wars like sound effects when manipulating the spring by hand too.

The Dirty-Carter E.S.G.I. and a few friends

"A quick shot of the new Dirty-Carter Experimental Sound Generating Instrument while putting it through its paces. It's sitting next to a circuit-bent Korg Koassilator and a Bugbrand Postcard Weevil, the rest are listed in the Flikr tags column on the right.
Sound and video clips to follow soonish... and it will be on sale later this year.

Tech details:
The Dirty Carter Experimental Sound Generating Instrument uses a dual 4-stage shift register. Each register is controlled independently. Two oscillators are used per register: one as a clock, the other as input data that is cascaded through the four stages. The outputs from the stages are mixed together. A fast clock rate produces a crude form of wavetable synthesis, whilst a slow clock rate creates audible pulses and clicks. The clock speed and the data input’s frequency are controlled by touch electrodes/pads. By tilting the instrument, sound from both the 4-stage shift registers can be mixed together. Glitchy noise, deep drones and percussive peeps!
