SH-101 mod demo

"a quick run through of the audio in, filter FM and cutoff, PWM wave selector and LFO rate mods in action with the bubblesound wrVCO prototype as modulators and audio source."

Encore Electronics UEG Demos 1 - 3

YouTube via chaorta | May 18, 2010

"Demo 1 of the UEG. Patch is as follows:

Ribbon GATE split to both UEG and VCA. Ribbon CV (position) to E350 Pitch. UEG CV OUT to E350 Morph X. E350 XY Audio Out to VCA, VCA to mixer, mixer to soundcard, etc. Apologies for camera audio, too."

UEG Demo 2


UEG Demo 3

chaorta | May 18, 2010

"Sequency-goodness. Audio is AFG's Alien Saws run into Borg 1, out of Borg 1 back into itself, Output to mixer. UEG-As-Sequencer clocked from Z3000 through Clock Divider for no real reason. UEG-As-Sequencer's CV is quantized by Doepfer A156."

Doepfer A-100 - FX

YouTube via sampleandhold | April 04, 2010

"Watch your speakers, this clip gets pretty loud at times!....that's the point with randomized modular FX, right? Just me noodling around with my A-100: two ring modulators and lots of modulation. A homemade stereo tape echo clone VST was added for some delay, other than that it's pure analog madness. Enjoy..."

Doepfer A-100 EBM Sequence

"This thing can really make some nice EBM basslines!"

Doepfer A-100 Sequence "Going Home"

"First patch on my modular synth. Shot with an iPhone with camera audio. I need to figure out how to record audio onto my laptop. :)

Doepfer A-110 : Linear FM & Doepfer A-188-1D BBD

YouTube via statevariable | May 16, 2010

"The Doepfer A-110 is linear FM ready. That means it is delivered with two exponential CV input (one is 1V/oct, the other one with an attenuator). But thanks to an easy modification, I turned the expo CV2 input into a linear one. Of course, it voids the Doepfer warranty.

Also featuring : the Flame Tame Machine.

The modulation ratio is constant until 3:00. Then I patch a VCA between the modulator (Malekko/Wiard Anti-Oscillator) and the carrier (A-110). The same envelope controls both the volume and, latter, the modulation ratio."

"4096 BDD"

FMed BBD

statevariable | August 07, 2010

"Following a thread on muffwiggler.com (http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19988), I wanted to try this FMed BBD technique. So far, I couldn't achieve similar sounds, but it produce gentle artefact to the usual BDD delay FX.

Source is a regular triangle wave (from the ZO !-), playing random notes. The BDD module is FMed by the A-110 triangle wave (manually tweaked along the video).

0:00 : unprocessed triangle
0:12 : introducing the BDD delay
0:29 : FMed BDD (at last)"

Also on TRASH_AUDIO along with the Harvesman/Alesandro Cortini SuONOIO. On the Tiptop Audio desktop:

"Looks like Tip Top Audio is making a table top case that will be rack mountable. 4HP power supply is on the right side. This looks amazing and I would definitely use two for live performances."

Note one recently came up for auction captured here. It's actually test equipment and not a synth in the classic sense. Details from the flickr set:

"photos of a (somewhat rare?) early synthesizer. thought this was an interesting unit, so i figured id take some pics and share. dave from the audities foundation has pegged this as a telephone testing device. there is no date of manufacture, and i couldnt find any documentation on this-my guess is 1969-75, based on the construct and fonts, but who knows? SN 772.

it can both generate tones, as well as process or modulate any incoming signal(great fun on drums). the harmonic distortion unit on the top half is a partly-separate unit; the 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion can only be accessed through the upper level of pin inputs."
