Circle Machine Complete

You might remember the Circle Machine from this post on August 15. Dave Brown wrote in with the following on the SDIY list:

"I've more or less finished my Circle Machine project. I finished the 5U panel and built a desktop enclosure for it. It's fun to operate. I've put another video of it in operation on my Circle Machine web page. I use a control voltage to vary the sequence length to 4, 8, or 16 steps. I create the shorter sequences by skipping lamps but keeping a constant rotation rate. This has the effect of changing the tempo by 1/2 or 1/4.

None of my "modern" sequencers can use a control voltage to vary the sequence length. Doing so adds an interesting twist to the sequence. The first video on the Circle Machine web page shows demonstrates this using a sine LFO to control the sequence length.
A fun project. - Dave"

I Feel Love - Buchla Style

YouTube via Oxix52 | August 29, 2010

"I remember hearing this for the first time when I was a kid in the 70s. I instantly fell in love with the sultry voice of Donna Summer and the hypnotic electronic soundtrack by Giorgio Moroder. This is my simple take on the rhythm.

I need a 266e so that I can do a proper hat and snare."

Korg microSTATION - keyboard preset 50-103 HQ

YouTube via triumphthruxton | August 29, 2010

"Keyboard preset 50 to 103, Korg microSTATION is a new workstation from Korg. I just got the first shipment to Europe and I have had the Korg M3 and the Korg M50 Workstation before. This is a light weight 2.5 kg/ 6lbs workstation/synthesizer with amazing sounds and a built in sequencer.

Pros: portabel and easy to use, amazing sounds from the bigger M3 series, sequencer, great software editor

Cons: mini keys, small LCD display

Everything recorder with a Korg SR1 Sound On Sound field recorder.

You can make a 16 channel song with drums, bass lines, leads, pads and so on. Use up to 5 effects and master effects and then save your work to a SD card. With the USB connection it can act as an VST in your DAW like Cubase, Logic, Live. Since I use it in a studio it is very easy to just put it in a bag and use it both at home and in the studio. I initially bought the Korg M50 but 7 kg/15 lbs was bulky since I also play bass guitar and use Cubase on my laptop, impossible to get all that equipment on the metro."
