Jomox T-Resonator Analog Filter Delay Synth Effect with Original Box

via this auction
"Here is a fabulously powerful analog filter box/delay effect/synthesizer from Jomox...

Inside its heavy-duty metal casing, it's a pair of excellent sounding analog Moog filters, LFO, envelope follower, and delay lines. But it's a lot more than that.

I called this device a synthesizer because you can use the feedback routings to generate tones.

You can feed almost everything into everything else, and there is some frequency modulation going on too. There are probably more routings in this box than in any other analog device of the same side without menus. All the controls are completely 1-knob-per-function.

When you start using this machine, you stop thinking of it as a pair of filters. And it starts to become in your mind an organism of interwoven, feedback-based tone generators. You learn to subtly play the feedback. You can make some incredibly beautiful, ethereal sounds when you carefully tweak the knobs to make a delicate matrix of filtering, delays, and feedback.

The sounds of the the original input can become just one theme in a beautiful shifting landscape of sound.

And the various delay-based algorithms sound great. The delays are digital (all the other audio circuitry is analog) and they always pass through the analog filters before feeding back, so you never have harsh or thin delay sounds. . . though they can be shimmering and lovely.

I recommend this instrument to guitarists who are looking for something really, really different, for experimentalists, for digital musicians looking for something really warm and organic to process or create sound, and for anyone who loves sound design and tweaking.

Can take a line level or instrument level input.

Solvent modular crunch MFB Seq-02 + WMD Geiger Counter


YouTube Uploaded by s0LVentCIty on Jun 14, 2011

"Hello my name is Solvent, and I just made this crunchy IDM Hip Hop beat on my Eurorack modular.

Everything is being sequenced by the MFB Seq-02, which is being clocked from a trigger coming out of Logic/Silent Way/ES-3. I locked it to Logic so that it'll be easier to chop up into loops later, if I decide to develop this track further.

Outside of the modular, I've got the kick from my Jomox MBase-01, and the snare is from my modified Boss DR-55. The occasional analog delay is from my Boss DM-100. The white noise in the HH sound is coming from my MS-20 since I don't have a noise source module yet.

More than half of the modules in my case are being used here, so I'll just point out the ones that are contributing most prominently to the sound:
- the glitchy Autechre-ish part in the HH comes from the Flight of Harmony Sound of Shadows digital delay module, with it's delay time being sequenced by the MFB
- VCO is Tip Top Audio Z3000
- VCO goes into the Bubblesound Sem20 VCF, before being destroyed by the WMD Geiger Counter Wave Table distortion / bit reduction module. The Sem20 actually plays a big part in the sound, as the WMD responds drastically to LP vs HP, and to Resonance amount.
- Geiger's wavetable is changing via a VC input, sequenced by the MFB.
- Post Geiger filter is an EMS Synthi VCF clone, DIY'd by a guy named Cameron from Chicago, which is similar to the STG's Sea Devil Filter module. Filter Cutoff is being modulated by the MFB.
- Synthwerks MG-1 module is being used to trigger the MFB's reset in, which I'm using to create manual fills, which remain perfectly in time on account of the MFB being clocked externally."

Strange Fender Rhodes

"A demo of my Fender Rhodes with FX only.
No Synthesizer..."

Some additional info via Ascent68:
"Not jazz, soul or other standard Fender Rhodes music. I try to make sounds like a soundtrack of old Scifi movie (forbbiden planet for exemple) but without synthesizer. Only an Electric Piano, reverb, analog delay and equalizer."

Custom PAiA model 1550 Stringz'n'Thingz Expansion

via stefanv.com where you'll find the full details.

"Here's what I added:
44-key Yamaha keyboard (7 additional notes).
Octave-switchable crystal-controlled master oscillator.
Separate cello and violin level controls.
Switchable string chorus modes.
Split keyboard for the piano.
Proper circuitry for the high C note block.
Polyphonic flute voice (almost sine waves).
Effects section operating on the flute voice:
Wave folder to add harmonics (an "unfilter"), modulated by an LFO and/or envelope generator.
LFO modulated VCA to provide tremolo.
Envelope generator modulated VCA to provide attack-decay.
Overall volume control.
Fused AC voltage and a safer power switch (no AC on 1550C board)."
