"MESSING AROUND WITH MY RECENTLY FINISHED MFOS SOUNDLAB MINI SYNTH PLUS', DSI TETRA, FUTURE RETRO REVOLUTION, SH-101, TR-707, AND A MEMORY BOY STEREO HAZARAI DELAY."

"This is an example of my (2) Music From Outer Space Soundlab Pluses that I recently finished. The SL on the right is sending LFO and AR to the CV inputs on the SL on the left. The Moog cp251 is being used as a mult and also the LFO is slowly sweeping the VCF CV on the left SL. Theres is also a AR signal being sent to trigger the SH-101 and from the 101 CV out back into SL 2s oscillator CV. Both of the Soundlabs are using the S&H function as well...

This was recorded in Ableton with a little verb and compression. This was just a patch making beautiful soundscapes not a musically piece.

PCBs for the Soundlab can be found at Musicfromouterspace.com

front panels were designed by mike at Planetsynth

Construction by me (Rico)"

Video 5:
"Heres a little spur of the moment test I did with my recently finished MFOS 10 step sequencer. The sequencer is triggering AS Europa thru trigger sync and the Europa is running the Access Virus TI Snow, the MAM ADX1, and the TR606 Exfade mk2 by midi. The synthesizers.com modular, and 2 MFOS Soundlab Plus Mini Synths are being controlled by the sequencers cv / gate outs. This was done to see how everything would sync to the sequencer and meant as a written piece of music. The sequencer has 3 cv outs, gate out and trigger out. If you have ny questions feel free to leave them in the comments. I also used an EH Memory Man for reverb...

The Soundlabs and the 10 Step were built by me but I still have a few bugs here and there to work out, for the most part though Im very pleased with them.

There were also a few clicks and pops in the bounce that Im trying to track down. There was no clipping of any of my outputs throughout the signal chain and I am not too sure where they are coming from.

Thank you for your comments Sorry bout the shaky hands and the dangling camera cord!!!!"

DARK DRONING MODULAR SYNTH

"Hers is a patch Ive been playing and decided to record. My camera is the pits so I apologize for the poor quality.

The patch is a mixture of Euro and MOTM style modules. The tempo is synced to the S&H, Malekko Noise Ring, and the Buchla 280 clone"

RingingFilterKick

"Episode 5 shows how to create a kick drum using just a filter. The trick is to tweak the filter close to self oscillation and then excite it with a short sound like click or pulse. The filter will go into oscillation but the regeneration (resonance) will not be enough to sustain the oscillation more than a short while."

The Patch is the Goal

via The B-Roll where you'll find the track accompanying this image and the full write-up.

"For All You Synth Nerds [Ahem!], Here’s the Basic Breakdown: The first oscillators ADSR is being triggered with a medium decay through the BBD and the Tip Top delay effect. It’s pitch is slowly rising and falling through a quantizer which keeps it in tune. OSC’s 2 and 3 are tuned to a 5th and are being sequenced by a clock divider + mixer with some heavy portamento via the dual slew limiter. They are also going through their own Lowpass filter which is being modulated very slow. Finally, I added white noise through a slowly modulated lowpass filter to bring in that very soothing sound of the ocean. The pan on every channel is being very slowly modulated as well."

MOOG - Memorymoog Synthesizer - model 345a

SN 1220 via this auction

"The Memorymoog is a voice-assignment polyphonic synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music from 1981-1983. Incredibly reliable and durable with an exceptional easy to use interface, It has the ability to store up to 100 patches in computer memory. It has six independent voices, each containing three voltage-controlled oscillators, a voltage-controlled 24db/octave lowpass filter, two ADSR contour generators, and extensive modulation facilities. This means that there are 18 oscillators, six filters, and 12 contour generators in the unit. However, there is a single set of controls for those components, meaning that their sound is programmed homophonically. So each program governs each voice identically."
