Improvisation on Doepfer Modular Synthesizer

"Improvised noise on a small Doepfer suitcase modular synthesizer. Since I did this it has expanded into a second case. You might notice a black cat creeping around. He's called Zac and gets into some of my videos."

"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com leads us on tour inside and out of the original monophonic organ/synths. (With very simple synth features like footage selections and slow attack envelope on the Hammond) Actually the Hammond Solovox (produced from 1940 to 1950 nearly I hear) is a scaled down mono version of the 170 tube 500 some pound Hammond Novacord (Made in 1938!) Novacord was a full polyphonic divide down synthesizer like many transistor ones create in the 70's (Arp Omni etc.) Probably the most ahead of it's time musical instrument ever created.

The Solovox's tone cabinet contains the divider tubes and mixer tubes as well as a huge relay can that operates each time a key is hit. There are three relays that route signals for each of the three 'buss segments'. I said 'three buss' keyboard in the video but it's not three parallel buses but rather three single buss segments. 1 per octave. The footages are prearranged by those switches to be apportioned appropriately to the three buses.

THen after the relays properly route things from the high low and mid mixes, we go to the filters that are selected by the buttons beneath the keys. The capacitor ladder and mechanical vibrato are also housed therein with the knee volume lever that uses a set of resistances to gradually increment the volume.

We'd love to find more information on the Jennings unit if anyone has it! A schematic would be awesome!

The Univox has simplified things to get a great tube sound into a much smaller box by 1954. The keys are also much more playable! The short keys on the Solovox take some getting used to. Definitely some useful sounds!"

MATRIXSYNTH Card in the Wild

Pic in via 7thDanSound whose videos are frequently featured here.

New cards and magnets are in. These are somewhat of a limited run. Out of 3000 cards printed only 1000 or so met the bar and I had to go through three printers to finally get them. The green fluorescent ink and extra gloss coating required a special printing process. They were pricey and difficult to make due to the black being less forgiving. Because of this future batches will probably not have the extra coating.

Korg Kaossilator Mini Synth Circuit Bent - Sustain Mod

via this auction
"Korg Kaossilator Pocket Synthesizer Modded For Sustain Hold Via A Standard SPST Toggle Switch.... The Mod Is Pretty Useful For Noise Drone Type Sustained Sound, Or Perfect With The Pattern Section. The First One Like This Went To "The Legendary Pink Dots" As A Gift, (see Photo #6) The Second To Another Local Seattle Band "Four Dimensional Nightmare", His Had A Outer Space Pad Theme. (photo #5) Which Makes These Units #3 And #4 So Far With This Mod. More Mods Are Possible, But My Intent Was To Keep This One Simple, Add Some Needed Functionality But Keep It All Inside The Unit.

For Extra Cost, It's Also Possible To Add In Another Part, The Get Lo-Fi LTC1799 Precision Oscillator Which In Essence, Downgrades The Units Main Oscillator Clock For Pitch Or Bit Crushed Type Effects.

"x0xb0x vs my modular so far. What's mainly going in this video:
1) XR-VCO being controlled by x0xb0x's control voltage.
2) x0xb0x 's main out used as linear CV on XR-VCO.
plus of course a bunch of other random patching and wiggling."
