"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."
