E560 First Test

YouTube via JohnLRice | October 18, 2010

"This is my first test of the new Synth Tech E560 Deflector Shield Eurorack synth module. I didn't really read any instructions yet, I was just folling around running Carbon111's CD through it since it happened to be in my CD player at the time! ;-)

Look for several more tests/demos I'll be doing of this exciting new module."

Moog Taurus II Bass Synthesizer

via this auction

"set of vintage Moog Taurus II synthesizer bass pedals. These pedals come with the Moog Taurus II Synthesizer/Brain specifically made for the pedals. In other words, you don't need an external sound source to power these pedals. They can be used right out of the box! The pedal board connects to the brain via MIDI so any keyboard, sound module, etc. can be connected."

Update: No MIDI unless this is a modded unit. Thx to byron kent wong in the comments for catching this.

As you can see from my blog, this is not my first attempt at bending my Vl-tone. The first time through was OK, but glitchy. For my top panel I used a piece of stainless steel that unfortunately conducted the current from my potentiometers dropping the pitch. Also at the time, the only wire I had was too thick and stiff to work with. So I decided to rip it all apart and start over. This is what I did.

So here are the mods. I used a little help from Casper electronics, he has a mod sheet that gives you a few patch points and three pots. I ended up only using four of the patch points and all three of his pot mods. I also added three extra pots by externally replacing the VLs internal pots. Then I tested and tested and found twelve other patch points that I liked. So that is from the left all the pots and the black RCA jacks.

As for the white RCA jacks, they function as a switch bay triggered by the switches to the right. The smart observer will notice there are nine switches in the array. One turns the bay into a multiple, the top row (on-off-on) engages the bay or sends it to the switches below. Those switches a attached to capacitors and diodes to further change the sound. The pots about the switch array are part of a home made low pass filter with frequency and resonance. Then there is a volume and reset button.

"I made this patch in Pure Data to sonify and visualise the weather station data online at the University of York's website (weather.elec.york.ac.uk/​). I wanted to give the a narrative that could be understood.

Once the language of the sound and visuals are understood, you can understand the weather conditions very quickly through the perception of the sound; possibly quicker than if you were to read the information."

"Theremin Center -en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Theremin_Center

vtol.tk"

from the wikipedia link above:
"The Theremin Center for Electroacoustic Music was created in Moscow, Russia in 1992 by the group of musicians and computer scientists, under the leadership of Andrey Smirnov. It was named for Leon Theremin - Russian inventor of the Theremin, one of the first widely used electronic musical instruments.

The Theremin Center aims to achieve a co-operation of musicians, artists, scientists, and technologists who are oriented toward realization of experimental artistic projects. We envision the centre as a base from which to carry out interdisciplinary research in such fields as computer music, electroacoustic music, interactive systems, multimedia, including dance, visual arts etc., as well as a centre for the development and creation of innovative programs, technical devices and techniques.

From the start the Theremin Center was intended to operate on a non-profit basis and most services and equipment were donated by the founders and sponsors of the Theremin Center. Professor Jon Appleton founded the International Advisory Board and helped in developing the Theremin Center and establishing continuous relationships within the international musical and scientific communities. The Moscow State Conservatory has provided space. It was a part of the Sound Recording and Musical Acoustics Laboratory - the place where in 1960s Leon Theremin was conducting his research. Since 2005 Theremin Center became a part of Electroacoustic Center at Moscow State Conservatory."

making rhythms with the sl-20 slicing up noise

YouTube via NoizeHack | October 21, 2010

"I just got a boss SL-20 pedal and I was playing around with close to white noise as the input and splitting to stereo, distortion on one channel of the output, reverb and distortion on the other and then mixed back together in mono. the sl-20 can ping pong and random split the output, so you get alternating sounds with a mono split to stereo. also it sounds pretty cool with an atari punk console run though it. the noise is coming from the feedback setting on the kaossilator."

Homogenized Terrestrials: Vintage Code

YouTube via trrstrl | October 21, 2010

"Created using Moog's Filtatron app for the ipod/ipad. It has a digitally modelled Moog ladder filter, oscillator, sampler and delay effects. You can mix the oscillator with a sample and audio in, all through the filter and effects, and resample it if you want (up to 10mb). The sample can be slowed down or played up to two times normal speed forward and backward and you can change the start and end points while it is playing. You can save individual samples as well as presets which are a snapshot of all of your settings at the time of saving. It sounds great and is highly recommended. Recorded with a Canon T1i (video), Edirol R-09HR (audio) and assembled in Nero, with a Moog Voyager RME looking on."
