"Testing out a trig in mod for the sample and hold generator. Trigs and beats provided by the 606."

via this auction
"Made in Japan (1983)

Produces a hand clap sound that is adjustable with sens, dry and hall controls.
Produces sounds simular to legendary TR-808 & TR-909 Drum machines!

The BOSS Handclapper is not an effect pedal, per se. Its purpose is to produce handclap sounds. It does so when you hit that blue rubber pad with a stick, or with your hand, whichever is handier.

The circuit inside is IDENTICAL (save for the addition of a couple of external pots to adjust some sound parameters that are permanently set in the 808) to the handclap circuit in the legendary Roland TR-808 drum machine!

External input jack for triggering from other drum machines with trigger out.

The unit can runs off a normal Battery (9v) or with a mains adapter."

Boss Handclapper HC-2 MIDI mod

YouTube via accenter | March 05, 2007

"Dieser Handclapper wurde in seinen Regelbereichen erweitert. Zusätzlich wurde auch ein MIDI IN sowie eine blaue Power LED eingebaut. Der Handclapper ist auch über das Berührungsempfindliche Feld spielbar. Schaltungstechnisch wurde er an den TR-909 Clap angelehnt und klingt auch genau so. Durch die Regler ist hier im Gegensatz zum original TR-909 Clap ein größerer Tonumfang möglich. Mittels "Dry" Regler kann der Clap getuned werden (Tonhöhe). Der "Hall" Regler ermöglicht ein variables Ausklingen. Der "Sens" Regler bestimmt die Anschlagsempfindlichkeit des berührungsempfindlichen Feldes."

"I finished up the first SammichSID today. It wan't much work any more just installing the panels. Here you can see a picture of the back panel with the paper still on it. If you click on the picture you can see a larger version and read the text that is engraved in it. You can also clearly see the C64 style power switch which I still think is a nice retro-touch..."

Music Made with Bees

YouTube via t0nehammer | October 08, 2010

"I wanted to see how far I could take the recordings of bees into the realm of music. The bee produces about 200-230 wing flaps pr. second, which is enough to generate a nice, rich sounding buzz. I recorded a bunch of bee sounds and manipulated them through a variety of tools (including timefreezers, delays, filters, glitch modules etc). I then decided to add some more human elements to it (vocals, guitars, grooves etc) and wrapped it up by adding full symphony orchestra and choirs on it during the end.

Besides the bee sounds - the majority of samples are coming from the tonehammer.com sample catalog.

Hope you enjoy it. Einstein once predicted that the human race would survive no more then 4 years after the extinction of bees due to their keystone role in the entire ecosystem. So peace out to all the bees and bumbles.

Best - Troels"
