Handmade Electronic Instruments

Square Wave Machine from Michael Rucci on Vimeo.

"This is a square wave oscillator with a LFO built into a vintage soothing sound machine.

Originally built by Marsona it looks original from the outside, although it has been completely rebuilt inside. The selector is now simply an on/off switch, volume is still volume, tone is now pitch, and surf rate and range are now now the LFO rate and range.

Atari Paddle Light Synth from Michael Rucci on Vimeo.

"handmadeelectronicinstruments.com

This is a light controlled square-wave generator with a pulsing effect, hand built into an Atari paddle controller. These were originally built by Gemini for the Atari system. Pitch is controlled by a light sensor, speed is controlled by the knob, and the trigger is power. At high speeds you can get some interesting throaty sounds. For more precise control and wider pitch range experiment with different light sources.
A red LED pulses with the sound. It can easily be connect to amps, effects, recording equipment, etc. At the end of the original cord is a 1/4" plug and running from there is a wall adapter for power.

Limited to 4"

"A drum beat using just the Mr.SnareDrum and BeatieBop Analog Drum Synths. I programmed some stereo clicks of different volumes in Ableton Live and sent it out to the trigger inputs on the Drum Synths with a Y-Cable from a laptop headphone jack. Easy way to sequence these analog drums since they can be triggered by voltage OR audio.
Coming to ebay soon..."

Beatie Bob via this auction

"A handmade and unique Analog Drum Synth and Optical Theremin. Create cool spacey sounds, bangin' bass drums, ethereal spookiness and more. It can be triggered by the onboard drum pad, voltage input, or audio input.

KNOBS: SENS (Trigger Sensitivity), DECAY, PITCH, SWEEP (variable from sweeping up to sweeping down),
LFO MOD RATE, LFO MOD DEPTH, and VOL. (Initial Volume).

SWITCHES: Oscillator Shape (Square or Triangle), MOD Shape (Square or Triangle), LFO MOD Range (High/Low Speed),
Light Sensor On/Off (to control the Pitch with Light), "L" for LFO to Trigger the Drum at the LFO RATE.

JACKS: Trigger Input (can be voltage or audio), "P" for Pitch (Control Voltage or Expression Pedal Input), "V" for Volume (Control Voltage or Expression Pedal Input, and Audio Output.

Powered on a 9 volt battery or 9v DC adapter."

Blues 200e

"Not quite standard 12 bar blues, but something resembling it.

Midi used for the clock, 89bpm from a Monomachine. Off key drone from Slim and a MF103."

DIY Isomorphic Keyboard project

YouTube Uploaded by analogstatic on Mar 22, 2011

"This is a velocity sensitive MIDI isomorphic keyboard. 192 total keys. The project came out of Louisville Soundbuilders, a fortnightly meeting of circuitbenders, synth engineers and experimental musicians. After seeing a couple of my failed variations of a single-bus isomorphic keyboard, Tim was intrigued enough to design one even better. He designed multiple PCBs that sandwich together with multiple switch types for velocity sensitive keypresses.

More development on the way! We're working on molds/methods for making hexagonal keycaps. And I'm working on an Arduino-based controller as an alternative to the midibox controller Tim has working already.

Monome Community Earthquake Disaster Emergency Album

"This compilation of original music and sound has been generated in the days immediately following the staggering 9.0 earthquake which ravaged Japan, and is released in support of the ongoing rescue and reconstruction efforts ongoing today. Regardless of whether you enjoy or appreciate this music, please make a donation to an aid organization responding on the ground to this disaster.
www.doctorswithoutborders.org/donate/overview.cfm
www.jrc.or.jp/english/index.html
shelterbox.org
We suggest that Medecin Sans Frontieres ( Doctors Without Borders ), the Japanese Red Cross and Shelterbox are good choices for a monetary donation, as they are presently engaged on the ground with the recovery effort, but regardless, we ask that in whatever fashion, no matter where you are, you aid the positive recovery of the japanese people, the human race, and all of the earth from this tragic event."

"The Monome Community, an eclectic ensemble collective of electronic artists, have come together once more, in response to Tohoku Chiho Taiheiyo-oki Jishin, the Tohoku region Pacific Ocean offshore earthquake which rocked Honshu Island Japan only days ago. Using sampled, synthesized representations of seismic event data collected from the devastating earthquakes, participants created a wide variety of remixes and compositions as a cathartic response to the sheer power of the earth.

"We make music and raise awareness in the face of this tragedy because we are musicians and human beings, and in the face of such power, there is nothing that can be done from afar than to stand up and say 'we are aware of your plight, we are with you in spirit, and you are not forgotten'."

- leif, the lokey baselayer

地震、津波、火災、原発事故、安住の地は一瞬にして地獄となった。
復興への道は長く険しいだろう。
しかし、家族、友人、地域への想いが勇気と強い意志を育み、復興は見事に成し遂げられるだろう

The earthquake, tsunami, fire and nuclear accident transformed their peaceful places into scenes from hell in a second.
The road to reconstruction must be long and tough.
However, their passion for their families, friends and communities develops courage and willpower, and they will make remarkable recovery.

many tracks on this album were created using samples of Micah Frank's synthesized compositions, derived from seismic data from the Tohoku Chiho Taiheiyo-oki Jishin, the Tohoku region Pacific Ocean offshore earthquake which rocked Honshu Island Japan only days ago. Intended as a cathartic response to the impermanence of our existence on this planet. If you are moved by these musics, please donate something to aid the ongoing rescue and reconstruction efforts in and round Japan.
