Buchla Donut & The "Ratchet"...


YouTube Uploaded by genxtargetmarket on Jul 10, 2011

"This was an effort to see if I could emulate the tracking modes of The Harvestman's Hertz Donut module with my Buchla 200e system. I used some information from boobtube356 (as read on the Muffwiggler forum where he goes by "dougcl") as a starting point. Additional noise is added by the ever-yellow KV-100 from Metasonix."

The "Ratchet" in Pendulum/Ratchet(3rd Party Pleasures)

"I felt like exploring some of the other offerings in the world of Buchla 200. The Kilpatrick K4816 Pattern Generator is running the show. I've got the Eardrill Pendulum/Ratchet (P/R) employed as a Burst Generator. Whoo-Hoo! "Burst" and "Pattern" Generators in one go.
You'll notice that I've also leveraged the thoughtful design layout of the P/R wherein the Buchla 266e Source of Uncertainty (SOU) is merely a shorting bar away. In this case, I'm having the SOU change the density of pulses from the "Tock" output and am also having it change the speed of the P/R's clock. This varies things up quite nicely.

The Eardrill Pulse Balloons module is acting as a Pulse Train limiter and A/D Generator (yes, that's 3 function generators in total now). It is triggering the 2nd 261e dual oscillator's 292e LPG. It is also simultaneously varying the Modulation Index of the oscillator.

Special cameo appearances from the ladies in my life. Better audio is posted on the almighty Muffwiggler forum as I'm too lazy to lay the audio in here.

A good guide to making your own bongo sounds is detailed in the YouTube video by Make Noise. Just search for "QMMG Make Noise bongo" and you'll find it."

Schubert SERENADE For Theremin & Continuum


YouTube Uploaded by copperleaves on Jul 9, 2011

"Some of my online theremin friends didn't want me to record this theremin transcription of Franz Schubert's SERENADE. They said it was too schlocky and romantic and that I shouldn't waste my time on it! Nevertheless, it remains one of the most popular and recognizable melodies from one of my favorite composers. This arrangement is for theremin and Haken continuum (accompanied by the Korg TRITON EXTREME). The continuum is playing the delicate recorder/flageolet sound that follows the theremin. Although I think my brain could have played all three instruments at once, I just don't have enough arms and hands, so I prepared the track and played the theremin live.

In the summertime, I often use my barn for music. The barn was built in the 1860's during the American civil war and no nails were used in its construction. It is made entirely of hardwoods and held together with expertly fitted joints and wooden spikes. When you play music in it, the whole building vibrates like the soundbox of a giant bass or cello. Unfortunately it isn't very well insulated and it isn't heated so it is useless for music in the winter. But it's great in the summer!

According to music historians the Austrian composer Franz Schubert (1797 - 1828) wrote this composition in the summer of 1826 in a beer hall, jotting the notes down on the back of a menu. He had apparently stopped in to the place to have a couple of pints and cool off.

The theremin in the video is a Moog Ethervox. The Haken continuum is a continuous controller which, unlike the theremin, does not have a sound of its own. It can sound like just about anything you want and, like the theremin, can elegantly slide from one end of its range to the other in a seamless "gliss". It is also polyphonic and has 16 voices (the theremin is monophonic with only one voice).

I was going to call this piece, "Schubert & the theremin & the continuum go to Bollywood" because I am used to wearing Indian clothes when the weather is particularly hot (as it was today when I recorded this). Natural air conditioning!"

Intellijel Corgasmatron percussive + melodic


YouTube Uploaded by s0LVentCIty on Jul 9, 2011

"Hello my name is Solvent and this is a 2-part video demonstration of the Intellijel Corgasmatron eurorack VCF, using it's screaming resonant filters for percussive / subbass / metallic mayhem. No audio signals (VCOs / noise) are being passed through the VCF - what you hear is coming strictly via the Corgasmatron's self-oscillating filters.

All of the sequencing is done via a Make Noise setup -- Brains, 2x Pressure Points, and clocked by a MATHS.

In the first part, only the LPF is used. It's being modulated by an MFB ADSR, and the Make Noise B+PP. The MATHS is being used as a slew/portamento occasionally.

In the 2nd part, Make Noise B+PP is also sequencing a Jomox MBase01 kick, and a Snare part created with MS-20 white noise into a YuSynth Arp VCF. The Cogasmatron's signal path is set up just like an MS20 - HPF into LPF in series. HPF is being modulated by PP+B (FM2), + a Tip Top Audio z3000 mk2 VCO (FM1). I used the z3000's sine wave out (I think). The z3000 is also being sequenced by the PP+b. LPF is being modulated by MFB ADSR (FM2), and PP+B (FM1)."

Intellijel Corgasmatron melodic w/Make Noise Brains + Pressure Points

"Hello my name is Solvent and this is a video demonstration of the Intellijel Corgasmatron eurorack VCF, being used here on a melodic bassline part.

Sequencing is done via a Make Noise setup -- Brains, 2x Pressure Points, and clocked by a MATHS.

Make Noise B+PP is also sequencing a Jomox MBase01 kick, and a Snare part created with MS-20 white noise into a YuSynth Arp VCF. The Cogasmatron's signal path is set up just like an MS20 - HPF into LPF in series.

The VCOs are a Tip Top Audio Z3000 mk2 + a DinSync OSC303, with a little vibrato courtesy of a Livewire Vulcan LFO. Their pitch is controlled by Ch1 of the PP+B, with the CVs quantized through an Intellijel uStep.

HPF is being modulated by ch2 of PP+B (through the MATHS for occasional slew/portamento), and by an MFB ADSR. LPF is being modulated by ch3 of PP+B, and by MFB ADSR.

This configuration, sequencing these 2 distinctive filters in series, is a big part of why the MS-20 has been so indispensable to my sound over the years - so much movement to the sound, and it really sits in a mix so well. If you've listened a lot of Solvent music, you've likely heard this sound from me before. This Intellijel filter nails the MS-20 essence here - hollow and wooden one minute, then sizzling and razor-acidic the next."
