burgler alarm keybored analog sequencer synth

YouTube via puffhandy | Feb 25, 2011 | 0 likes, 0 dislikes

"This was formerly a General Electric "zonar burglar alarm". I found it at my local angel view thrift store and loved the fake woodgrain alarm clock/speaker cabinet looking box so I bought it for a whopping $1.99. Incendentally I also bought a very nice vintage tea pot which I needed very badly to go with my new coffee press. Anyhoo, I got it home to my delight it was perfect for this vactrol (opto-iso) thing that I had been thinking about making. After worked for about 14 hours designing and making this this beast and then subsequently I spent about 100 hours playing with it getting different sounds and enjoying it fully trust me. The seven code buttons on top are working keybored keys for a main oscillator sync'd to another oscillator that's pitch is detirmented by a vactrol with the LED side connected to the six on/off/on switches on top for a sequencer LFO effect that is F'N crazy!!! I would have added more LEDs, butit would change the sound and I love the creepy sc-fi with a horror twist that this thing has. email me for the schematic at puffhandy3000@yahoo.com and look for this item on etsy and ebay."

Vintage '76 Univox JR5 Drum Machine

via this auction
"Vintage Univox JR5 Drum Machine, Beatbox-1976! Hey, Depeche Mode used one just like this! This is a classic of electronic music and a rare find. The Univox JR5 was introduced in the 70s and is one of the originals (they later became Korg and this was also the Korg Pee Wee later on). I don't have an old speaker jack which is what this requires so I can'r hear it, but the light does flash to the downbeat as was advertised.

"Has push buttons in black & red depending upon which beat you choose Beats or tempos are as follows: Ballad/Waltz; Cha Cha/ Mambo; Latin Beat/ Bossanova; Rock 1/Rock 2; Polka/Foxtrot" I believe there are 17 separate beats when settings used in combination."

"A demo for ORGAN+, a tonewheel and transistor organ emulator for the iPhone and iPad. It has 7 individual organ engines, two manuals, 9 drawbars per manual and a whole lotta effects, including key clicks, percussions, chorus etcetera. You can save your own presets, record something, play it back or bounce it to audio, copy and paste to your other favourite music app, or transfer audio via Wi-Fi. For iPad users, it also has CoreMIDI USB support and iTunes file sharing. Seems neat..."

M-Audio Venom Controlled by TouchOSC

Two parts. Part 1 is a lead in to Part 2. Do not miss Part 2 (watch past :46). Watch these full screen 720HD to read the labels and see what I'm doing. I just started creating the editor and exploring the Venom. Aggressive and powerful little synth. You can find the template here.

M-Audio Venom Controlled by TouchOSC Part 1 of 2

YouTube via matrixsynth | Feb 24, 2011 |

"Watch 720HD full screen to see the waveform names and what I'm doing in detail. Prototype TouchOSC template controlling M-Audio Venom using The Missing Link to translate OSC to MIDI. Only one oscillator on the Venom is heard in a latched arpeggio. This page in TouchOSC allows you to select the waveform via toggle buttons and via a slider at the bottom. All 94 waveforms are available. Be sure to see Part 2. The purpose of these videos is primarily to showcase the editor controlling the Venom. It sounds much better live. The audio in on my Canon Rebel T2i isn't cutting it. But yes, this can be one aggressive sounding synth."
