x0xb0x - sequencer test

YouTube via e7ektro — May 14, 2010 — "I completed the x0xb0x sequencer today. This demonstration shows filter cutoff and resonance variation. Accent can generate interesting rhythmic patterns. I really like the sound of it, sounds very raw."

Vocoder Bollocks Pt 3

YouTube via ThePurityControl — May 21, 2010 — "Blade Runner gets the Vocoder Bollocks treatment, this time using a manikin Memotron as the synth, and swapping between male and female choir sounds. While it sounds a little more organic than the earlier offerings, it seems that the type/quality of the synth sound is less critical than ordinarily - whatever you put in, it comes out sounding overtly synthesised O_o"

Neutron Scarab Arduino modular bass synth testing.

YouTube via neutron7 — May 21, 2010 — "The bass synth has been rebuilt on a circuit board and modular panel.
For this video, it was multitrack recorded from a MIDI sequencer.
All synth sounds you hear are from the arduino synth.
Using synthesizers.com Q107 filter and Q109 envelope generator.
One synth track has a delay, the rest are untreated.
Drums and percussion are mostly canned loops.
The tune is just a simple thing i did for this demo."

GorillaBox Eurorack Anvil case

gorillabox.bigcartel.com
Some notes on the case:
There are legs on the inside of the lid allowing it to be used as a side table for other gear - guitar pedals, laptop, whatever fits. The inside is wired with a new Tiptop Audio power system which emits essentially no heat. The regulator is the size of an iPhone and the power supply is like a lacie mini brick style external power supply. A bit of trivia: Surachai of TRASH_AUDIO is in possession of the first one. Update: shots are now up here.

Robot Apocalypse (featuring the Time Divider) - New from STG

YouTube via suitandtieguy — May 21, 2010 — Jonathan Snipes of Captain Ahab (http://captain-ahab.com) is such a remarkably enthusiastic STG Soundlabs Time Modules user that when he emailed me and said "I hear you're working on a clock divider module that runs off the STG Sync Bus ... please let me know when i can have it" I couldn't help but just go ahead and mail him my own prototype. (don't worry, i built another and yes he paid for it)

Jonathan was so happy to be able to extract all sorts of different rhythmic clocks driven by his TR-808 that he made this video showing off the Time Divider driving all sorts of aspects of his modular synthesiser and gave it to me to post up here in my U-Toob account.

we've still got a couple of firmware sniggles to deal with, but here is the 97 percent operational Time Divider being used in the composition of a track which Donald Crunk declared "hot as shit" when he heard it, and I'm inclined to agree with him.

I'm not entirely sure what the Time Divider is doing here, but I'm hearing a lot of rhythmic intervals happneing against the TR-808 that simply would not be possible with anything other than the Time Divider or a rack full of extremly hard-to-find Garfield Mini-Docs.

the Time Divider will be available soon from STG Soundlabs (http://www.stgsoundlabs.com/) and not too long after from Analogue Haven (http://www.analoguehaven.com/)

Thank you very much, Jonathan."

Update: description via jonathan:

"Here's a vague description of what's going on:

808 as master clock & drum sounds (obviously)

bassline:
two q106s into stg post lawsuit filter - pitch is from voltage ministore, rhythm is an envelope to the filter cutoff triggered by dotted 8ths from the time divider

bell-like delayed nonsense
q106 into stg sea devils filter into time machine, pitch from voltage ministore

sonar ping sound
stg time divider sending 8ths to motm 730, with vc division modulated by slow lfo, so the ping happens essentially randomly, but always on 8th notes

bitcrushed percussive hihat sound
stg time divider retriggering a long envelope controlling the clock rate of a cgs digital noise module every half note, with a vca controlled by another envelope @ 16ths (also stg time divider)

all the melodic sounds use a modcan-b quantizer

the vocoder is just an motm 310 into a roland svc-350""

Mk1 + X-Kbd.AVI - MacBeth Synthesizers

YouTube via macbethsynthesizers — May 21, 2010 — "Here is yet another vid of the stuff I'm doing- holding a camera whilst operating the synth isn't easy! Tech stuff- the sample and hold from LFO2 on the kbd is playing the thing- its sending both a CV signal and a Trig signal to make things happen!"

Yamaha TG300 16-part multi tone generator p1 Dark Organ

YouTube via hornetlord — May 21, 2010 — "Using a CME UF5 midi keyboard/controller live to control 16 programs of the Yamaha TG300 simultaneously in multi mode, using standard/ROM as well as custom programs. Audio is straight from the TG300 and its built in effects (Chorus, Delay and Reverb), with no other effects or processing. The titles of each of these pieces highlight the more predominant programs heard."
