Doepfer A-109 VC Signal Processor

via this auction

"Module A-109 is a voltage controlled audio signal processor containing the following components:

VCF: 24 dB Low Pass with voltage controlled resonance
VCA
PAN: Panning unit (two complementary controlled VCAs)

The VCF is a standard 4 pole low pass filter with voltage controlled resonance. The filter has a so-called "constant amplitude versus resonance design", i.e. the peak-to-peak output level remains within 6dB when the output waveform rings from added resonance. Manual controls for frequency and resonance are available as well as 2 CV inputs for both (one with attenuator). The frequency range is about 5 Hz ... 20kHz, resonance ranges from 0dB up to self oscillation.

The main VCA has a combined exponential/linear control scale: exponential from about 0...+200mV (corresponding to about -100dB ... -20dB), linear from about 200mV...+5V (corresponding to -20dB...0dB). The "rounded" knee at the scale bottom allows an envelope to decay to zero with a natural exponential sound. Manual control for amplitude is available as well as 2 CV inputs (one with attenuator)."

The push.pull sputterbox from coloringpad

"push.pull sputterbox
pulsewidth synth harnmonics
phase (un)locked loops

the end of your audio is saturated in tails of sputtering electricity sounds.

a crunchy analogue sounding bit-crushing synthy thing

a sputtering fm-tuning finish to notes

a fuzzy pitch shifter

a pulse width tremolo synth can be applied to the incoming audio

a similar sound to a blaster as wielded by Han Solo can be achieved pew-pew

a self-oscillating madhouse of recharging capacitors

an additive of not-usual effectology

a distorted, glitchy, fuzzy bass synth

a drone full of clicks and pulses

an 8 bit erratic synthetic hyperdrive

when a combination of knobs are turned up into inaudibly high frequencies, it self-oscillates in unusual ways, often only when an audible signal is not present. This unique self-oscillation can cause frequencies to pulse in the absences, creating synthetic pulses when applied to rhythms.

when a combination of knobs are turned down to droning audible frequencies, it acts like an Atari Punk Console with frequencies only modified by the incoming signal.

The push.pull pedal is a synth effect based upon the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) IC, in which the PLL has been “unlocked” and let loose through 10 knobs.

Midi / Error!! Alternate MIDI Max/MSP Controllers

Midi / Error!! /// phulebox2012 \\\ Multi-Effects Unit - playstation controller + MaxMSP

YouTube Uploaded by midierror on Mar 22, 2010

"This is my final year uni project from a few years back. Its a software multi-effects unit I built in MaxMSP. It is controlled using a playstation controller, and is designed to be used while DJing. That said, it can be used with any input device such as a guitar, mic, drum machine, commodore 64, or minidisc player.

It has had changes made to make the screen more functional and user friendly. The 'engine' routing matrix is now hidden and all its settings can be changed using the directions.

Each of the effects can be fed through one another, or used singularly. The analog sticks control four parameters that can be locked to store placement.

At the time this was amazingly difficult to program, and the front end was a full screen. Its looking swish in MaxMSP5 !"

Midi / Error !! /// Walyx \\\ Wacom Tablet + Max MSP - Controls Amen Break pitch and loop points

Uploaded by midierror on Mar 24, 2010

"This is an illustration of what can be done with a wacom graphics tablet and max msp. Using a max external it picks up the x y axis of the pen and converts it to the pitch (x-axis) and loop end (y-axis). It took about 2 minutes to make this patch. . . . .

The tablet has 3 buttons for on/off states and features pressure sensitivity......therefore a total of 9 parameters can be changed using it. Im going to dig a bit deeper with this idea, and see what I can make; particularly in terms of synth playback."

Midi / Error !! /// X-bovst \\\ Xbox Midi Controller for FM VST using Max MSP

"I wrote this patch for MaxMSP to control the amazing YMVST synth. As you can hear its a great little vst; based on the old YM2149 chips.....you can get it from here:

http://www.preromanbritain.com/ymvst/

Im not too happy with the way this worked out as its controlled mainly by buttons......but im sure someone might appreciate this.

I have also written a patch to control an Astation synth using a Playstation controller......but that is currently getting an overhaul.

respect to gareth morris for a wicked peice o kit !"
