Circuit Abbey - Gravity Well_demo 1
YouTube Uploaded by DJjondent on Apr 4, 2012
"The gravity well uses cv to shape audio.
Where a filter removes certain harmonics the Gravity Well modulates
the existing waveform to create new sounds.
I'm using a doepfer A110 VCO (sequenced with a Modcam touch sequencer)
Square & sine waves are fed into a A114 ring modulator. Its output goes into the
Gravity Well.
The Gravity Well has 4 CV inputs.
I'm feeding a sine wave LFO into the first input (called latitude)
Into the second input (called Longitude) I later (1m,55 secs) feed a random CV.
This was generated using a combination of a noise generator, a sample/hold & a comparator.
A 4MS Noise Swash, Buchla 265 (Source of uncertainity) or the MakeNoise Wogglebug
would also prob work well as random sources of control voltages.
Modules used:
Circuit Abbey Gravity Well
Doepfer A110 VCO
Doepfer A114 Ring Mod
Modcan Touch Sequencer
Doepfer A118 Noise Gen
Doepfer A148 Sample/H
Circuit Abbey TripFire (Comparator)
Many thanks to Matt from Rhythm Active for supplying the Modcan Sequencer, The Circuit Abbey Gravity Well and Tripfire

Quicksilver TB-303 CPU Upgrade Now Available
Quicksilver 303 Introduction

"This is a quick overview of some of the new features introduced by the Quicksilver 303 CPU Upgrade for the TB-303. We show system exclusive loading of pattern data, setting the pattern length, pattern copy/paste, pattern rotation, randomize and reverse. We also show how pitch or time information can be entered in step mode."
Quicksilver 303 OS update tutorial
Uploaded by ripe909 on Apr 3, 2012
"A guided video demonstrating how to update the operating system of the Quicksilver 303 CPU. This shows windows being used for the upgrade procedure, but the process is the same for other operating systems."
Update: some pics and the official press release:
"Dallas, TX, April 04, 2012 - After months of testing and development, Social Entropy is releasing the Quicksilver 303 CPU Upgrade. Quicksilver 303 is a complete replacement CPU for the classic TB-303 BassLine Synthesizer. It uses a completely rewritten operating system that enhances and extends both pattern and track modes. All operations can be carried out while the sequencer continues playback. We have strived to maintain the classic feel of the sequencer, while removing the frustration.
Many features have been added to the operating system, with a focus on realtime performance and tweaking.
The sequencer engine supports standard step entry in pitch and time modes, while a new realtime record capability allows patterns to be entered live with the 303 keyboard or a MIDI controller. Editing of pattern information is now simple, with the ability to move forwards and backwards within a sequence while the pattern continues playback. A new chase LED makes it easy to visualize the location of notes in the pattern.
Functions like copy and paste, randomize, extend, rotate and reverse can be applied to pitch or time information independently. Patterns can be transposed in octaves or semitones in both pattern write and play modes. The transpose amount is stored with each pattern.
In pattern play mode, up to eight patterns can be chained for playback. A pattern restart and clock resync function makes sure that the music never stops during live performance!
The extended track mode allows for complete songs to be constructed using patterns. Each track step has settings for pattern transposition, multiple repeats or pattern chains.
Changing between modes can be performed without stopping the sequencer and all data is stored in EEPROM memory, eliminating the need for batteries.
Enhanced MIDI connectivity provides synchronization, sequencer input and output, as well as a new "MIDI Control Mode" which allows the buttons of the TB-303 to be controlled remotely by any device that can send MIDI note messages. Full MIDI System Exclusive support means that pattern and track data to be dumped to external devices for backup or sharing.
USB connectivity is used for easy operating system upgrades.
The Quicksilver 303 is available for immediate purchase. Price for the base CPU is $275 USD, with free installation for a limited time.

***************************
When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition
Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom
I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16ft Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer
Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation
State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State of the art
[Listen to the difference!]
(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[By use of a computer]
State of the art
Now we don't want to go out
When we could spend the night at home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the bossanova beat and limbo from the living to the kitchen
Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing
State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
[Computer controlled tone colour]
State of the art
[The marriage of music to computers is quite natural]
(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[It is time to hear the results]"
