Catgirl Synth CGS49 - Twin CMOS Multimode Filter


via this auction

Assembled by Free State FX
"Catgirl Synth CGS49 Twin CMOS Multimode Filter with Distortion Module. The Twin CMOS Filter is two fully independent multimode (LPF, HPF, Notch, BP) filters based upon the famous Wasp VCF. I modified the "Spread CV" Knob so that the spread function can be used without an external control voltage (turning the knob clockwise sends voltage to the inverted input of Filter A and the non-inverted input of Filter B). Juergen Haible's Distortion circuit is inserted at the Output of each filter. Filter A's Output is normalled to Filter B's Output so you can get the outputs of both filters without the use of a mixer. Get two great filters for the price of one!

Assembled with:

CD4069UBEE4's in the Distortion Circuit
(2) Audio Inputs (1 per channel)
(2) Freqency CV Inputs with 2 Inverter Swtiches (1 per channel)
(2) Outputs (Filter A is normalled to Filter B's Output)
(1) Spread CV Input
(2) Filter Frequency Knobs (1 per channel)
(2) Resonance Knobs (1 per channel)
(2) Distortion Knobs (1 per channel)
(2) Frequency CV Knobs (1 per channel)
(2) FIlter Mode Selection Switches (1 per channel)
CV Spread Knob
Switchcraft Jacks
Military Grade RG-174 Coax Cable Used on Audio Signals

DX5 playing "Warm Leatherette" (The Normal)


YouTube Uploaded by DX5 on Aug 9, 2011

"Covering an experimental track from late 70's originally by The Normal (Daniel Miller) that also was the first "Mute Records" release.
Recorded at the very first take (without rehearsing)

If you didn't know the song, it can sound very repetitive, but once you listen to it several times you will enjoy it. Be sure to check Daniel's original one too.

Gear:
Upper: Emu EMAX II HD (with Kurzweil and Roland JP8000 samples)
Mid: Roland JP8000
Backtrack recorded in Pro Tools featuring JP8000 and Simmons SDS 8 sounds)

Composed by The Normal (Daniel Miller)
Performed here by DX5 (Jose Maria Bara)"

Ander - Live Performance - Grundton @ Hive - Zürich 6.8.2011


YouTube Uploaded by modul8tor on Aug 9, 2011

"The perfomance of Ander opened my eyes - again. Since the beginning of my audio controllerism, I wanted to touch every parameter of my music live.

Ander does just that, plus more: He builds his custom light controllers, see here: http://ander.fm

Here is what he says: "I designed and constructed this MIDI-Controller myself, based on the ucapps.de hardware platform. I use it for live techno performances with Ableton Live. It's not for sale."

Some thoughts about the performance (In german)

- Leuchtpult leuchtet Performer voll aus, lightshow
- Leute haben keine Ahnung was abgeht und sind erstaunt :) "Wooah, das Pult"
- Viel swooshes, buildups, einfach via touchempfindlichen pads, er macht gar keine buildups und crashes, sondern alles live
- Kommentare: Wie von CD, hörts gar nichts von Live Performance
- Unklar wieviel echt gespielt wird, wieviel ist von Konserve
- Es könnten noch ein paar mehr Variationen sein, klingt ähnlich, wiederholend
- Gut gemasterter Grundsound, es ist also offensichtlich möglich, vom Studio Raus direkt in den Club zu produzieren
- Jeder parameter der musik ersichtlich - Meine Devise!
- 3 Pulte mit unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen - Zweck:
-- 1. Mixer
-- 2. Fx Swooshes mit touch sensitive pads
-- 3. Chromatic Recording"

Correction on Upcoming Dave Vosh Show

In the last post I noted Ohio as the location. That's actually the street. The upcoming show in November will be in St. Louis.

Amen ADDAC

ADDAC .WAV Player & Moog Voyager
Update: cleaned up the description a bit:
1st test of my new ADDAC .WAV player. Watch at 1080p. The beat is the Amen Break included with the .WAV player which comes with an SD card loaded with a few samples. The synth that comes in at :15 is the Moog Voyager. I have the CV out of the .WAV player going into the Filter CV in of the Voyager. I have the Voyager set to play middle C with Gate ON so it just drones and the .WAV player modulates it. I just let the .WAV play adjusting the sample length followed by the bit/sample rate. Super simple. Listen not only to the Amen break change as I adjust knobs, but the Voyager as well. The .WAV player is in effect playing the Voyager.

Knobs:
Top Left: volume
Top Right: Sample length
2nd Right: File position - sample location
3rd Right: Sample Rate when enabled
4th Right: VCA
5th Left: CV Out Level
6th Right: CV Out Decay

Update: History of the Amen Break

Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop

YouTube Uploaded by mobius32 on Feb 21, 2006

"This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip."
