Lost/Stolen BugBrand BugModular - Need Help!

Please Help Spread the Word. If you have a synth site, post it, if you are on a synth forum, email list, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, share it. If you found this synth, as tempting as it might be to keep it, please return it. Think of all the karma points you'd earn.

"I just heard that a compact BugModular system was lost/stolen after a gig in London recently. It is very recognisable as it was composed of various early/proto modules and I sold it off last year to raise funds when I moved.

There are some details on a MW forum thread here

And pictures from the Matrixsynth archive.

If anyone happens to hear/see anything, please let me know or contact details for Mari are on the MW forum thread.

Thanks,
Tom"

"Lost on the 30th July between 6am and 8am, in either Hackney Wick or Hackney Central, perhaps on the overground train between the two. Housed in a large black soft carry case, with other items, AKG contact mic, Mackie mixer and various jack cables (Pink&Green).

This was a gift and is very sorely missed, please do contact if found or offered. Holds the folowing modules in order from left to right: Bugbrand - PWR, Bugbrand ENV1, Bugbrand Syn1, Bugbrand Syn2A x2, Bugbrand DD2, Bugbrand DD1,Bugbrand PR3A, PRC1, Bugbrand UTL2.

Please call or email me with any information: 07512336125 or marikingface@gmail.com"

And via BugBrand on Muff's:
"articular noticeable details -

Black Frame - the case is one of the old black ones, so is heavier than the more recent silver ones. There aren't all that many of the old style ones out there.

End-Cheeks - similarly, the cheeks are meant for the regular style frames so you can see there are 5 extra holes on each end + the nuts are attached on the outside.

Several thin-panel (ie. early/test) modules - very few of these are out in the wild. The thin-panel ones -> SYN1 Weevil, DD2 LFO/DCMix, DD1 BalMod/LPG, PRC1 PT Delay, UTL2 Output Mix.

The joystick is completely one-off."

Zebra2 Mini-Tutorial #29 - Everything Swings

YouTube Uploaded by uheplugins on Aug 10, 2011

"#29 - Everything Swings - 1m:39s

In most synthesizers, "swing" is only applied to the timing of an arpeggiator (or mini-sequencer). In Zebra2, swing also affects all synchronized LFOs used in the patch -- this "tutorial" is a simple demonstration of the feature plus how to add swing to delays. Note that Swing is not applied to standard envelopes (even when synchronized and looped) and that Swing factor is not a modulation target.

Steps in the video
I.
- Load initialize (not shown)
- Apply swing to an arpeggio
- Apply swing to an LFO
II
- Apply swing to a delay

Homework
You don't have to use the Swing knob whenever you want a swing effect. Try this: Load any patch you created according to tutorial #27 "Messing with MSEG 1", go into the Matrix and modulate MSEG1 loop rate with a synchronized LFO. Use "ModWhl" as the "Via" control, and turn it up."

Dirty Electronics Mute Synth from Dirty Electronics on Vimeo.

"Dirty Electronics Mute Synth promo made only with sounds from the Mute Synth with edits and processing. Photography and animation Stereographic (Birmingham). Performed by Burlesque artist Eliza DeLite.

The Mute Synth is a hand-held touch and tilt instrument with copper etched artwork and contoured printed circuit board that was designed in collaboration with Mute and graphic designer Adrian Shaughnessy. The instrument brings together many Dirty Electronics aesthetics and instrument designs into one device in particular creating an instrument ‘of the hand’ (in terms of both playing and building), a noise-based device that utilises feedback, and exploring the relationship between artwork and circuit board."

Arpeggiated Transpose (Pro-One + Jupiter4)

YouTube Uploaded by traumaduo on Aug 10, 2011

"thisone...

is just a tipical improvisation like they did in the 70ies and 80ies with synthesizers.

using the internal Stepsequencer of the Pro-One while triggering the Arpeggio of the Jupiter4.

of course some effects where used;
Pro-One - Eventide Space
Jupiter 4 - Kaosspad2

just recorded as it is no additional Audioprocessing!"

"Machinery" - on Yamaha HE-8

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Aug 10, 2011

"This time I am getting a little psychedelic. I don't know why. It was just an idea I had to try. I must also admit that I am not really playing the sax in the intro. I play it on the Yamaha organ and afterwards I treated it with a flanging effect.

The song "Machinery" was included on one of the early albums by Sheena Easton but is not a typical Easton song. According to Wikipedia it was "a grab for the new wave audience" what ever that is supposed to mean...

But it is a favourite of mine."

Labels on YouTube have the Roland CR-1000 listed and the Roland JX-8P.
