micron, random, noise

micron, random, noise from 11hzRobot on Vimeo.

"I made a couple of patches that cause the micron to freeze up every time, to much modulation I think. After it freezes everything stops working; keyboard, knobs, buttons...except the volume knob, but the sound continues to play and evolve randoml. All sounds are from the micron, recorded with ableton live, post processing was limited to normalizing the stereo wav file and converting it to mp3.

I did some more takes with better stereo spread on the micron patches. I also added a touch of reverb, these sound much better. Check out the "Freeze Mode (noise)" player here:

Octave kitten - Playing / Demonstrating with the VCO

YouTube Uploaded by clackbeetle on Jun 22, 2011

"For Sale here http://bit.ly/kmuTTU
Just finished repairing the kitten , very impressed with the synths modulation layout and nice fat complex VCO that can do 1 and 2 octaves sub-oscillator. I really like the mixer style waveform layout. Compared to the Arp Odyssey I like the way that the modulation controls are rotary knobs so it looks much simpler! shame they only released 2 synths (excluding that weird Voyetra one).

Drumfire DF-500 DRUM SYNTH with Original Box

via this auction
"The Drumfire DF-500 is a 5 channel drum synth module. The 5 channels are identical, with their own Trigger-In and Audio Out sockets. Each channel is a mini analogue synth drum module, capable of producing a wide range of electronic drum sounds, and since every parameter is defined by a knob, it's highly tweakable. The 5 drum channels also have their own level and pan pots, and the signals are mixed to a pair of stereo outputs with Left/Right volume control. Each channel has 9 controls (8 knobs & 1 switch): -SENSITIVITY controls pickup/trigger in sensitivity -OSCILLATOR DECAY controls decay time of the synth oscillator -NOISE DECAY controls decay time of the noise sound -SWEEP alters oscillator frequency -PITCH changes oscillator pitch -BALANCE controls balance between oscillator/noise -VOLUME output volume to mixer -PAN L/R balance control, also allow dual output on L/R jacks"

Befaco BF-20 vs Korg MS-20

YouTube Uploaded by jorditalleda on Jun 25, 2011

"Two weeks ago, at our workshop in Barcelona, we started assembling the first units of our latest module: a very faithful replica of the legendary LP/HP filter of the MS 20.

The most demanding part of the design was reproducing the Korg 35, a dedicated IC found at the heart of the original filter. To be able to clone the filter, we first had to clone the IC! It consists of a mini PCB, so small we had to use SMD components for the first time (the people that attended our workshop had a blast! )

The clone of the chip is 100% compatible with the original filter, so it can be used as a part for repairing real MS-20′s!"

Via Befaco:

"Our friend Jordi made a video of these two analog titans challenging each other, face to face… he does get the Befaco modular, although with a very different architecture from the MS-20, to reproduce some of its most characteristic sounds quite faithfully.

Here’s what Jordi told us about the patch:

-BF-20 volume almost at maximum (the horizontal pot’s level line pointing to the right);
-HPF up, LPF down;
-From the Envelope Generator I sent an env. to two attenuators. They then go to the CV control inputs of the LPF and HPF. This way I can simulate the function of the MS-20 that allows you to adjust the amount of ADSR that affects each of the filters;
-I used a separate envelope for the VCA, and gave it more Decay than the filters;
-I used a VCO + sub-oscilator, to get a good squarewave;
-The other VCO went directly to the filter input, summing a sawtooth to the squarewave. This way I can get the two VCO’s to sound a bit detubned, as is often the case with the MS-20. If I use only one VCO, the result isn’t as fat as the MS-20."
