part 2 here
"some fun with the mighty ARP 2600.

This one is modified to facilitate much more flexible PWM and extended keyboard functions. Rebuilt PSU, preamp and filter.

SORRY that the video drops off toward the end there....Windows MovieMaker is to blame for not being Quicktime friendly. Kodak is to blame for only shooting in Quicktime format on the Zi-8. And of course I am to blame for attempting to use them together (ooof !!)"

Electro Harmonix Sequencer Drum

"Super quick sound demo for the Electro Harmonix Sequencer, adjusting pitch, decay, and rate."

"The Sequencer Drum is one of the rarest Electro Harmonix pedals. Unlike some of the other EH obscurities, this one is actually useful and sounds amazing! Not only is it an 8-step CV/Gate sequencer, but it has a built in synthesizer and a mode that allows you trigger the sequence at a set decay! The leather pad on the front is meant to be tapped to activate the trigger (hence the "drum" in the title). This particular sequencer is the fully patched out version, with an input that allows you to clock the unit externally, and CV and internal Clock outputs for sequencing other synthesizers."

52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 48: Malström Filters, Shaper, Mods

YouTube via PropellerheadSW | February 17, 2011 |

"You understand the basics of synthesis and have mastered the Subtractor, you've learned about the Malström's unique "graintable sythesis" technique, and now all you need to know to master the Malström is to understand its special filters, shaper, and mods.

To those who have been following along since week one of Synth School, you'll see that I'm picking up the pace a little bit now that you've built a foundation of knowledge. Believe me, we'll need this pace starting next week when we tackle the Thor synthesizer!

But rest assured, by the time we're done you'll know every synth's capabilities, strengths, and routings. And most importantly, you'll be able to think of a sound you want to create, know which synth will get you that sound, and set about making it with skill."

"Just a small test this evening...

Touchsreen theremin might be doable, by adding a gain parameter controlled by the other hand..."

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent casio PT-87 mk II passed through an M-Z3R0 K-filter.

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0 | February 17, 2011 |

"A heavily bent PT-87 running through one of my resonant filters. The combination of the two has suprisingly good sounding results. Up there with some £1000+ analogues i've owned and heard. It reminds me a lot of the korg ms20 in both tone and filter quality."
