Hey man, your toe is on fire

Update: video re-uploaded & new description:

"A new module - the Synthetic Sound Labs 1130 Double Decker VCO by Ian Fritz. I've used the DDVCO in a larger patch with other sounds.
The DDVCO is the "clicky sounds" in Linear FM AC mode and the multi-octave string sounding scream in Linear FM DC mode. Bank B is looped back into the RM input.
The drone is Pink noise through an STG Sea Devils filter to a Q107 and a delay. Bank A out of the DDVCO is FM to the Q107 which is in clipping mode. A 6 on 7 step pattern between the Q960 and the Moon M563 is the in and out sequenced patterned sound.
The bell sound is a tap off the Cat Girl Synth 01 Sub Oscillator/Harmonic Sequencer module.
This module is using two sync'd Q106's in LFO mode into it's inputs, ring modulated and output to banks of signal processors and quantizers before going to the DDVCO and other voices.
The two outputs from the CGS01 is driving both banks of the DDVCO. One bank (B) acts like a sequencer while in Linear FM AC mode and looped back into the ring modulation input.
No midi or outside modulation is used. Five channels into a Mackie mixer from the modular are managed along with mixer channels in the modular. Additional FX include a TC Electronics D-Two delay, Lexicon MX200, Strymon Blue Sky and El Capistan and two Behringer DD400's.
Recorded audio capture in Cubase 6.5 and video editing in Final Cut Pro X.
This video was uploaded three times prior to this one. I'm trying to learn Final Cut Pro X and it is hard to get all the audio and video with titles working just right. My apologies to the people that posted comments and likes to the first two. I'd rather get it right with no views than to have it wrong and lots of views. Purist junk, ya' know. I had to save it to a Quicktime file so I could inspect it. I hope it saves on YouTube okay. When uploading direct from Final Cut Pro you cannot see what it will do until it is viewable on YouTube. Rats!"

M569, Control Yourself! Part3

YouTube Uploaded by JohnLRice on Mar 3, 2012

"This wasn't originally intended to be part of the same series but, it ties in with the discussion here: http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53628

We were discussing the differences between the modern Moon Modular 569 step sequencer and the traditional and classic Moog 960 step sequencer (clones are currently available from Synthesizers.com and Club Of The Knobs)

The 960 has a switch per column that allows for the selection of one of several behaviors: skip (jumps to the next step), normal (sends CV and Gate signals for that step), stop (stops the sequencer from running when the step is reached) and reset (jumps to the first step). The 569 on the other hand has a switch for every step of every row that selects one of two 'normal' modes or Function, and then there is a Function switch per row that selects skip, reset or stop.

It's a common assumption that both skips and resets can't be used on the same row but, it CAN be done if you just assign skips on rows 1 - 3 and then use the selectable gate outs of row 4 to reset all rows.

Thanks for watching!"

My first date with the Double Deka

YouTube Uploaded by cwinkels on Mar 3, 2012

"Here's a quick video made of SSL's interpretation of the Ian Fritz Double-Deka VCO. My usual caveats about lousy focus apply here too, sorry.

This is my first exposure to it in the flesh; it's literally been switched on for 10 minutes before the camera started recording! It looks much, MUCH better in person. The illuminated LEDs are a joy to behold.

What's going on: Bank A and Bank B of the DDVCO are set to 50:50 mix, but the mix is modulated at audio rate by a Dotcom Q106 VCO's sine wave output. That generates a useful FM-style buzz. This is routed through an STG Soundlabs Post-Lawsuit Lowpass filter. Initially the filter has a very low cutoff and about 50% resonance, but I dial back the resonance as I play with raising the filter cutoff level. Then it's into the VCA and out to a delay to add some echo.

There's not much else going on in this patch; about half the cables you see are from a previous setup I neglected to tear down. They don't influence the sound or provide any other control sources."
