webcam controlled oscillators with puredata

My first play with puredata.. image from webcam is used to drive sinewave oscillators via a "pix_blob" image analyser.. the full program (adapted from a GEM tutorial) is shown to right... not at all sure what i am doing at the moment but its fun!"

the twin peaks melody part: brad kraft transcribed onto his gameboy over a year ago. i just recently found the .sav file and i threw some beats over it.

Korg Monotron - cEvin Key & Baseck in Japan

YouTube via "baseck — April 30, 2010

"this is the korg monotron! i been drooling over it ever since i seen a video of it from musikmesse frankfurt. we found them in a shop in tokyo for $50 usd. cevin, djoto, alan, and i all bought one! this thing is ILL! such deep sub bass when it's hooked up to a system. i can't wait to rock it on my tour.

here we were at the great buddha in kamakura japan. first monotron to ever visit the great buddha! :) what an amazing site it was.

thanks korg for making another useful low cost pocket sized monster!!!"

Noiselab Demo

YouTube via deathindustrial — May 01, 2010 — "This is a demo of a custom "noiselab" modular synth I recently picked up from Blue Lantern. 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs, 3 channel mixer, VCA with push button gate option, noise source.

This demo was recorded via mediocre digital camera (sorry about the mic quality) with the only effects an old Ibanez bass EQ (functionally a *very* gentle overdrive) and some compression for level control. Thanks to Froghat for holding the camera. Session edited to try to show some of the box's range. A maximum of 4 patch cables in use since that is all I have at the moment.

Cheers to Flavio for a rad synth."

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard

via this auction

" Includes international power supply for 110V – 240V AC operation (13-15 VDC, 400 mA)

The evolver series consist of 3 variants : the original monophonic evolver desktop unit, a 4 voice poly evolver rack and the inevitable poly evolver keyboard. The Evolver is a one/four voice analog synthesizer. It is fully programmable from the front panel.

The following specs are for one of the voices:

Four oscillators in total: two analog, two digital

Analog Oscillator waveshape are Sawtooth, Triangle, Saw-Triangle, and Pulse (with voltage-controlled analog Pulse-Width modulation)

Digital Oscillators select from 96 wavetables from the Prophet-VS (128 x 12 bits), and 32 user-loadable (via MIDI) Wavetables (128 x 16 bits). The Digital Oscillators get trashy as the frequency gets higher, as with the original VS

Hard Sync on the analog oscillators

FM and Ring Mod on the digital oscillators

Separate Glide per oscillator, with two glide modes

Real voltage-controlled analog lowpass filters - not digital recreations. 4-pole/2-pole switchable, fully resonant (in 4-pole mode). There are two separate filters, one for the left channel and one for the right

Analog Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA), again one for each channel

Dual digital 4-pole Highpass filters (one per channel); place before or after analog electronics

Stereo audio inputs; Noise generator

Envelope Follower and Peak Detect from External Input to use as modulation sources

External Input can be used to gate envelopes and/or step the Sequencer

Three snappy ADSR envelopes

Four LFOs (sync with sequencer and MIDI)

Dual (left and right channel) tunable feedback loops; modulate frequency and amount

Delay with 3 taps; each with separate time and amount modulation. Syncs to sequencer/MIDI. Normal feedback and additional feedback path through analog filters

Distortion! Digital, one for each channel, can be placed before or after analog electronics

4 Banks of 128 Programs for 512 total Programs - dump to/from MIDI

16 x 4 Analog-style sequencer - syncs with MIDI

Extensive Modulation capabilities, including audio-range modulation. Bipolar (+/-) modulation

Easy to program matrix-style front panel with 8 endless-turn rotary encoders

A bunch of MIDI stuff

The internal controllers and DSP chips can be reprogrammed via MIDI, for easy feature additions."
