YouTube Uploaded by trogotronic on Apr 7, 2012

"Informational video and brief demonstration of the Trogotronic 333M "Euro-format" Analog Module.
The 333 Converts audio signal to 3 Control Voltage channels:
1. A traditional Envelope Follower
2 & 3. Vie the Event Sequencer

"Within the myopic domain of patch-cord cowboys wiggling cheeks to the beat of blinkie lights, the outside world is escaped from… forgotten… even ignored. If it’s strumed it’s ho-hummed. Banged? Danged! Sung? Save your lungs!

The Triple-3 aims to shatter the safe confines of Urkle’s inner-sanctum. Trogotronic welcomes in the freaks who with to interact with yon knob collection in an entirely new fashion: The Model 333 M is a three channel audio-to-cv generator that reacts to audio input in a very useful way:

As a Traditional Envelope Follower
As a Nine Step Event Sequencer
“Ditto” in a third Discrete Channel

Mic your neighbors loud-assed hog & you have a two channel sequencer which is triggered in time to the odd, organic lope of her Milwaukee-made V-Twin; Mic Bonzo’s kick drum & your rig reacts to every extra drunken lazy foot kick; Patch it to Maso’s flying Altoids “shaker box” full of Japanese pennies & your modules are perfectly controlled by the supernatural Osaka master of the 55-second polyester display. 333 M Series even means yer barking dog is officially in your techno-band. Mazel tov fair Fido! 333 Features:

3 Channel Audio-to-CV Generator
1 Envelope Generator
2 Channel, 9 Step Event Sequencer
3 Discrete Decay Controls (1 for each channel)
Input Attack Control
Input Preamp Gain Control
Sequencer Range Control
Sequencer Mode Selector
12 Blinding Blue & Red lights
Compact @ Only 10hp
Sequence Breakout Bus foreshadows “more to come”

Gain Control allows the use of everything from the weak signal of a mic or guitar with no preamp to the “hot” signal output from another module without trouble. Range, Attack & Decay Controls allow a great number of adjustments to create odd/organic sequences as well as shaping the Envelope. Sequence Mode selects progressive or single step activation; Both modes have our unique Smooth-Transition Circuitry between steps. Two Sequencer Channel Decay Controls modify CV creating either hard staccato steps or slowly fading voltage glory. Model 333 M ships complete with Printed User Guide, Trogotronic Owner’s Card, 7″ Power Bus Ribbon Cable, Allen Head Fasteners + USA Made Installation Tool packaged in an almost handsome, earth-killing recyclable box. Trogotronic road-proven construction means ALL controls are fastened to the the control board with a nut not just soldered to the circuit board only to be throw-away after a few hard tours of duty. And, of course, ALL Trogotronic instruments are hand-made in the stinkin’ USA by subhumans rather than contracted out to the cheapest overseas bidder by the boardroom fascist overlords.

Specs:

Euro-Format
10HP
Depth 2″ (with power cable attached)
+12v rail peak current 120ma (Sequence switch @ “9”)
+12v rail average current 70ma
-12v rail peak current 5ma
CV output 0 to +10.5v "

Supero (To Conquer) - MIDI Orchestral Production - Miroslav Philharmonik


YouTube Uploaded by bylcj246 on Apr 4, 2012

"Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed it :)

This song was recorded using the sounds of virtual instruments from IK Multimedia's Miroslav Philharmonik Classik Edition. It was played on a Content D4330 digital organ.

Supero (Latin for "To Conquer") is apparently pronounced 'sa´pē-rŏ, but personally, I think sue pe'rō sounds a lot cooler ... especially if you say it in an English accent :) Supero is meant to be a sequel to my first song Consurgo, which means "To Rise Up" (http://youtu.be/ZXK8PBH4zrw).

Monthly Synth Module Building Workshops at Robot Speak

"Monthly Synth Module building workshops at Robot Speak starting @ 12:00 on Saturday May 19th!

Every third Saturday of the month we will get together and build up a synth module in a group.

How much does it cost and what do you get ?:

$150- Per seat includes pcb and all parts to build a module. There will be a group there to help make sure your module is completed in that Saturday session.

Never soldered before ? Can't read schematics ? ....

Don't worry. Show up early and we will show you how.

What do I need to bring?

Soldering Iron, Wire strippers, Solder sucker, any tools. ( If you don't have them all the first time its ok. contact Dmitri before hand and we will sort something out).

Will it work with my Eurorack system ? How about panels ?

We are working on making these workshops Non Format Dependent. What we mean by that Is we plan to do circuits that will fit behind most panel sizes. While some pcbs already have panels available for them on the market. We are working with some very talented panel designers to help do custom panels for the group.

Projects will also include power regulation when needed for +-12v and +-15v systems.

Ok are you sold yet ? As if that weren't enough. We received the ok from Ken Stone to build his Serge licensed pcbs. Serge lived across the street in the 70s and 80s.

upon hearing about this Cynthia Webster of Cyndustries fame has joined us and will be giving the first workshop on May 19th! Cynthia was here in SF's modular heyday and used to hang out and solder with Serge. She is designing a very special top secret circuit for us to be unveiled at the workshop! We can say that you will be able to use it with your modular system.

So for $150- I get to build a circuit/module designed by Cynthia Webster for my modular even if i never built a module before ?

Yes. You don't have to source the parts your self. This will be a module that is not yet on the market so... You couldn't buy it if you wanted to. Social learning and building. I could go on and on about what kind of a value this is but I won't. Did I mention that she will be traveling up from So Cal to give the workshop in person?

She is doing this, We are doing this to help kick start some communal modular SDIY in SF. We have rich history here but when someone comes from out of town to visit the old mecca of modular there isn't much to see... We aim to change that. We aim to build this monthly thing, purvey the art of SDIY, Celebrate the history.

A link to Dmitri's blog post explaining how this all started.

We are going for it and you can be there to dial it all with us as it happens!

Space is extremely limited

Korg MS 20 basic hand clap sound


YouTube Uploaded by demokid2000 on Apr 8, 2012

"I tried to make a sort of hand clap sound on the MS20. It is a very easy sound to create on the MS20 thanks to its lovely high pass filter with resonance. I also use a narrow pulse wave from the LFO which controls the low pass filter cut off to simulate several hands clapping not totally in sync.
I'm not totally satisfied with the result... a few more minutes of twisting knobs and you can get a descent hand clap sound.
Recorded with an iPhone4 and Fostex AR-4i"
