111026 | Varia | Palle Dahlstedt
"Palle Dahlstedt is composer in Göteborg. Here is he doing the opening performance in the foyer at Atalante. He is using a new instrument dealing with electricity transported by the black lead sketched with an ordinary pencil.
VARIA is an international improvisation festival. It is arranged by Lisa Larsdotter Petersen who every year invites a broad variety of international artists to perform at Atalante."
Some additonal info via Muff's:
"For those who haven't seen this before, a short explanation: I create a 2D voltage field in the pencil marks on the paper with two movable electrodes. Then I tap various control voltages with other electrodes, which are fed into a large number of points in the bugbrand. All playing is done with these electrodes, which are made from stacks of old Swedish coins.
More is explained in this thread:

In the front is one of the new shallow Bugbrand frames, the same I brought on the Japan tour a couple of weeks ago, but with some modules exchanged. For example, I managed to make the E350 shallow enough to fit.
This particular patch contains four separate sounding structures, and the electrodes that tap CV voltages from the pencil field are routed to all these at ones. That is, each electrode controls many parameters simultaneously. The sounding structures are routed separately to an external little mixer, and I sometimes change which structures are heard. Sometimes just one, sometimes two, in the end all four at the same time (but I'm not sure this is in the video).
The four sounding structures are:
* Two intermodulating (FM) saw oscillators into a wavefolder.
* PT Delay feedback loop through an SV Filter, gated by a looped env/LPG.
* Weevil rev.2 through a bandpass SV filter through looped env/LPG.
* E350 through something (don't remember, actually, possibly an LPG)."
Yamaha FB-01 FM Sound Generator
via this auction"The owner’s manual says of the machine; ‘The FB-01 is a 4 operator, 8 algorithim FM tone generator that can produce up to 8 notes simultaneously…..Two hundred and forty voice memories are provided in ROM (5 banks of 48 voices) and 96 more voice memories are provided in RAM for your own voices….
There is an ‘Editor’ which you can download (free) to create your own sounds for the module. You can check this out by having a look at the following website.
It has a whole host of other features which are too complicated for me to understand. However, if you click on the following link, you will find a 31 page pdf copy of the owner’s manual."

Eowave .:.:DOMINO.::: shipping November, 1st
".:.:DOMINO.::: is a discrete analogue synthesizer with a VCO in the tradition of MS20 and TB303. The VCO, filter & VCA are transistor made. This transistor architecture gives .:.:DOMINO.::: a unique raw sound. Rich and raw at the same time, no need of external effects to give life to the sound. The VCO offers a mix between sawtooth and square. Pulsewidth can be modulated by the LFO. The filter is a classic moog ladder 24dB resonant filter. The analogue envelope range is from 1ms to 10s with attack, decay, sustain/release.The LFO has 8 different waveforms. On waveform 8, the modulation wheel can replace the LFO. MIDI CC 8 to 16 can transform the LFO in a sequencer to modulate pitch, pulsewidth, filter cutoff. The VCA can be modulated by a gate or by an envelope. In the legato mode, playing notes will generate glide between two notes. The glide time can be edited via MIDI CC. We've added a few more features like an accent recognition capability: all velocity values above 100 are recognized as an accent. Among these new features, an arpeggiator. With its small size and metal enclosure, .:.:DOMINO.::: will follow you everywhere!The microKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder from Korg -- A Closer Look!
YouTube Uploaded by KorgUSAVideos on Oct 27, 2011
"Take a closer look at the microKORG; Korg's compact analog modeling synthesizer with an outrageous Vocoder built right in -- we even include a cool gooseneck microphone. Chances are you've seen it on stage or heard it on a favorite song. Now is your chance to see it up close and hear some of 128 Killer sounds that are stashed inside. It's compact, battery powered, and fun to play. And there all kinds of extras to enjoy: an arpeggiator with mute-able steps, effects, delays, pitch & mod wheels, and more. In addition to keyboard players, the microKORG is great for bassists who need a synth bass-sound, vocalists who want to add some sonic extras, or really any musician. Heck, just watch the video! http://www.korg.com/microkorg"
