"Challenge from a friend to try and make an Ocean and Seagull with the Buchla in an hour.

Not bad I suppose. Could be better..."

Grokking the FS1R: Part 1- The FS1R Spectral waveforms

YouTube Uploaded by NoisyLittleBugger on Mar 16, 2011

"WARNING - This video contains loud audio . Even though a limiter was placed on the output, the nature of FM means that noise peaks are inevitable when experimenting. You have been warned!

If you don't know what FS1R or FM synthesis are then there's no point in watching. Really.

Part 1: A quick look at the FS1R waveforms and their basic shaping parameters .

Apologies for the background hiss - attempting to eliminate. In any case, Youtube audio cannot do justice to the output of this fabulous device.

Software used:

FS1R editor - http://synth-voice.sakura.ne.jp/fs1r_editor_english.html
Reaper - http://www.reaper.fm/
S(m)exiscope vst - http://bram.smartelectronix.com/plugins.php?id=4

Grok: "to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with" and "to empathise or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment.""

Grokking the FS1R: Part 2- A First FM Patch

Update:

Grokking the FS1R: Part 3 - Simple 2-Operator FM with variable modulator waveforms.

Das Ekdahl Quad Massager

"The Ekdahl Quad Massager is now in production, the price is $450 per unit!

The Ekdahl Quad Massager is a quad VCA, joystick-controlled mixer / quadrophonic panner for Audio or CV. It comes with a voltage-controlled quadrature sine LFO and no less than 18 x 1/4" ins and outs.

In short, the Ekdahl Quad Massager can be used to "move" a signal on a 2-dimensional surface, giving the effect of quadrophonic panning. In reality, the joystick position only sets the volume of the four outputs. At center position all outputs are at their maximum output volume, the further the joystick moves from the center, the less the amplitude of the opposed outputs of the travel.

Each output is controlled by a VCA, each VCA has one signal input, one signal output and one CV input. If connected, the direct CV input breaks the connection to the joystick and LFO routing so that the VCA can be used as stand-alone. The Ekdahl Quad Massager also has CV inputs for both the X and Y axis, serving the same function as the joystick movements.

The Ekdahl Quad Massager is equipped with a voltage-controlled quadrature LFO that can give both sine and cosine outputs. Traditionally, the LFO is used to move the sound in circular or elliptical patterns as well as back and forth along either the X or Y axis. The LFO also has two CV outputs (Sine / Cosine) and one CV input (Speed). The X and Y axises CV input goes full range on +/-2.5V, the direct VCA CV inputs reacts to 0-5V."

"This track was recorded using the Triadex Muse sequencer / tone generator for all the pitched stuff. External processing included an original Mini Moog (for filtering and modulation effects), a Moog Ring Modulator, an MXR Pitch Transposer, various tape delays, and some digital reverbs and delays from Roland´s 330 series."

Best shot showing how the HS-60 lends itself REALLY well to the chop. Just cut from speaker to speaker, rearrange some of the internal circuit boards, and there you are."

"there was a big earthquake and then my dog died and then I wrote this song

a bunch of feedback loops - 3 MOTM 300's, a MOTM e350, a wogglebug, and an Ian Fritz DoubleDekka VCO. You're hearing the output of the DoubleDekka through a Blacet Time Machine on the left, and a Triangle output from one of the 300's through the Neural Agonizer on the right. Some knobs were wiggled near the end."

Sorry to hear that sduck409. Stay safe.
