"Just experimenting here - creating a sound wash from simple tone to all out noise wall.... "Krell Speak" to Chaos. No VCF today... getting used to a new Metasonix R-51 Tube VCA/Distortion. I really like how it works the sound super-duper cool so far.

The patch is simply: Maths into R-51, Maths into Maths into Wogglebug into Dual Bissell into AFG into R-51 into Z5000."

Oscilloscope as waveform generator

YouTube via gordonjcp | January 16, 2011 |

"A quick demonstration of using an oscilloscope, a battery and a light-dependent resistor as an arbitrary waveform generator. When the light from the 'scope beam shines above the cardboard mask, the LDR turns the voltage down pulling the spot below the mask. Well, roughly. It turns out that the LDR doesn't respond very quickly, especially with a capacitive load.

The voltage was fed to the VCF input of a Korg Polysix which was playing a simple arpeggio. There's a bit of reverb on it too."
