"This is a hand built noise synth with an optical theremin. 4 momentary push for sound buttons that are tunned by the knob above each one. great for rythmic noise/melody also has a lo pass filter. has very thick sound great looking this is a great piece to have at a live show or in your studio.cool sounds and eye candy. has blinky led that blinks to the sound the optical theremin reacts to light so the less light the lower the pitch the more light the higher the pitch.strobe lights are awesome with these things witch i demonstrate in the video .has 1/4 inch audio out runs on 9v battery. no cables or battery included."

Winter night (Moog solo)

Our friend gattobus, who has been featured numerous times on the site, has written in with some very grave news. Words cannot express how sorry we are. We can only offer him our support in these difficult times. Please send him your well wishes. Hang in there friend, we are thinking of you.

"This is a keyboard solo I recorded a long time ago.
It is dedicated to all my friends that are close to me in this very sad moment of my life.
After an year long struggle against cancer, my wife is passing away...
Thank you for your support.
I promise I'll be back with my music stronger than ever!
with love,

Gianni.

Voxels - 22.03.2011 - Live Minimoog Improvisation

YouTube Uploaded by voxelsband on Mar 22, 2011

"Hi guys.
We've been messing around with our Moog Minimoog Voyager in a semi-modular way and with the little Trax Rota-Synth sequencer to create some pulsing new sounds for our upcoming album. So here's a little snippet of an experiment.
No computers involved!

Oh and the sound was captured with the camera microphone, so it isn't pristine, but still cool ;)

Enjoy!"

Noise Hero Kit Now Available

YouTube Uploaded by ChrisLody on Mar 18, 2011

"Noise Hero kits are now available to buy from http://www.symetricolour.etsy.com in USD and http://www.folksy.com/shops/ChrisDodsworthDesign in the GBP. There is also a pre built version for sale.

The Noise Hero is a lofi noise maker with a lot of routing options built onto a piece of stripboard using a 4093 quad nand chip. This video shows some of the example sounds that are located on the CD rom that comes with the noise hero.

For more about the Noise Hero see this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd9QBBueroA"

"First build test of my Noise Hero (previously known as ill logic)

Noise hero is a little 4093 based noise maker which is available to buy from http://www.symetricolour.etsy.com in USD and http://www.folksy.com/shops/ChrisDodsworthDesign in the GBP. There is also a kit version available. I may also produce a boxed version depending on demand.

It is controlled by 5 knobs, 8 switches and one push button.

It has 3 oscillators (Yellow, Green and Blue knobs). Osc 1 produces audio frequency ranges whilst osc 2 and 3 produce LFO and audio freqencies.

Osc 1 goes to the output through a simple passive filter (Red knob) while osc 3 can be switched to the output but bypasses the filter.

Osc 3 modulates osc 1's pitch by the ammount set by the orange knob. This modulation can be shaped by 2 shapers which can be switched on and off. Osc 3 can also gate osc 2.

Osc 2 can gate osc 1 and passes through an inverter after which it can gate osc 3.

There is also a push button to trigger the unit (actually a power button), a switch to lock the power on, a power led indicator and a battery cap switch which lets the unit run for a short time after power off for springy type noises.

A certain configuration can even produce sounds that stop after a time determined by osc 3 which is good for maker sound effects. (see 4:44 onward)

The knobs all go backward as you may have noticed. This is because I'm using logarithmic knobs which make the oscillators easier to contol when wired up the wrong way round.

This is my first build. Everything works perfectly but I found I'd barely alloed myself enough room to fit everything on the stripboard. I'll make the next one bigger.

I'm keeping this one!"
