Waldorf MiniWorks 4-Pole MIDI Analog Synth Style Filter

via this auction
"The MiniWorks is a stand-alone 4-pole resonant analog filter and modulation module. Use it to create those Daft-Punk filter sweeps on entire drum & rhythm loops!

Run any sounds, synthesizers or loops through it and filter them with a truly analog-like VCF filter that is not only very flexible but MIDI controllable as well!

There are many modulation sources that can be programmed between the extensive VCF, VCA, envelope and LFO sections and these settings can be stored in the (20) user memory patches.

The MiniWorks can also be overloaded for a lo-fi crunchy sound too! If it were a true stereo filter it would be perfect (input is mono, output is stereo), but in its price range it is the best analog filter module available!"

Update via Qwave in the comments: "This is the second revision with the 12 V power input. It features the same filter design as the Waldorf Pulse. The first revisions used the Curtis CEM 3387 filter chip. More details at http://faq.waldorfian.info/4-pole-inside.html. The beta-test and first revision are Georg "swissdoc" Müller 4-poles. The second revision with the 12 V input is mine. And they do sound very different ! But which you prefer is a matter of taste."

MS Paint Interpereted as audio data = Awesome music!


YouTube Uploaded by r2blend on Mar 9, 2011

"Just made a really weird and awesome discovery.

If you import an EXE file into an audio program as audio data, you hear all kinds of cool stuff. The most awesome by far for me was MS Paint.

It's probably one of the coolest things I've ever heard form something like this. All I did to the audio was master it slightly to make it sound less harsh to the ears, as well as remove a long section of noise.

Here it is on soundcloud:

http://soundcloud.com/r2bl3nd/windows-7-x64-ms-paint-exe

This is the Windows 7 x64 edition of mspaint.exe. I used Adobe Audition to import and edit the audio, but one could jsut as easily use Audacity's "import Raw Data" feature. I imported this as 8-bit, 22050hz stereo audio. I faded in the beginning, as well as removing a long section of noise part of the way through."

Electronic Computer Startup Noise recorded form an LED

Uploaded by r2blend on Mar 9, 2011

"This is of the sound that my computer's LED makes when its light is recorded as sound by connecting a CDS Cell to a handheld recorder's microphone input. Needless to say, it sounded awesome.

You can hear the disks spinning up, the PC Speaker (at 0:08), and all of the other devices that are drawing power. Even the background hiss is from the computer itself, as I had the recorder set to a relatively insensitive setting. Not to mention that the cell was literally pressed up against the light, effectively blocking out all other potential noise or hum sources."
