'The Monotron++ is a modified version of the Monotron by Korg. 'MIDI-IF', 'VCA' and some other things are added.
'MIDI-IF' allows you to control the Monotron++ with a Midi keyboard. VCA works as a noise gate, but you can use it by external CV to control its expressions (optional). The schematics of the VCA is based on the MS-20. It's close to being a MS-20 clone."

Flash Based Filtered Noise Sequencer

"This sequencer is not using expensive bandpass filters. The oscillators are sine waves, which are frequency modulated with white noise. It may not sound inherently musical, but you can produce great hihats, bass thuds, and airy pitched noises."

34 Buchla Style Lopass Gate

YouTube via 7thDanSound | December 30, 2010 |

"This video is an attempt to achieve the effect of the Buchla Lopass Gate. It uses a lowpass filter and a VCA in order to test the theory. The Lopass Gate is known for its natural and smooth sound. The real ones are vactrol based however so no patch like this will be exact.

Lopass Gate Impersonation and Arpeggio Chords from 7thDanSound on Vimeo.

"A short tune I made using my derived chords trick and an impersonation patch of the Buchla Lopass Gate. I think it sounds quite nice. Hope you do too!

I've been intrigued by the Buchla system ever since I first saw pictures of them. Not until several years later did I get to play one. It was the old 200 at EMS studio in Stockholm Sweden. Then the new Buchla 200e series were released and a friend got a few modules. I realized I had to have some. But, as usual, things came in between. Now finally, I'm starting my Buchla journey with a very small order. This video is to celebrate!"
