[diy] Ring Ring Machine - standalone

YouTube Published on May 2, 2012 by planeteatrr

This one is currently listed on eBay Germany

" two squarewave oscillators, with potentiometers for pitch, feed into a digital ring mod. One LFO that turns the oscillators on and off. A switch to disable the LFO, one for the frequency range and one to change the pulsewidth from short to long. Three push buttons to vary the release time. 6,35mm jacks. Solid aluminium enclosure. Awesome to use with modular synths."

Tom Bugs of BugBrand Live

via the BugBrand mailing list:

"Sorry that I still don't have any nice new standalone device updates for you, but in the meantime I am doing a few live shows.
(ok, ok, no it doesn't make up for the lack of PT-Delay-ness...!)

Friday 4th May (tomorrow!) - The Chasms are coming over from the Isle of Man to play at the Cube Cinema in Bristol - I will be joining them for their final track.
Blurb via the BugBlog - http://bugbrand.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/chasms-come-to-bristol.html
And via the Cube - http://www.cubecinema.com/cgi-bin/diary/programme.pl#6372

Saturday 5th May (the following day..) - Earth Works Presents: The Cabinet Of Living Cinema And Others Howls - again, at the Cube Cinema
I'll be doing a live Modular soundtrack to one of Jean Painleve's 'Science Is Fiction' films - The Seahorse.
And playing also in the Red Squirrel Orchestra.
The films for the night are sure to be full of fascination and wonder.
http://www.cubecinema.com/cgi-bin/diary/programme.pl#6617

Sometime in mid-May (or perhaps later - weather dependent) - Swimming Pool Cube
Another Cube event but this time to be held outside at a secret (swimming-related) location.
This was scheduled for April, but the weather put paid to that. We're now awaiting a dry slot, aiming for around 12-17th May.
The Swimmer (Burt Lancaster - classic) will be shown and I will be providing live soundtrack to some short films beforehand.
Get in touch if you want me to keep you informed on when and where this event will happen!

And then to London on Friday 18th May to support the album launch of Bass Clef
I'm billed simply as 'Bugs' - maybe as this is aiming to be a more techno-driven affair mixing the modular with some drum machines for power-rhythmics.
At Power Lunches in London - a small basement in Hackney - put on by the lovely QuJunktions.

[and one further event hint - my BugBrand work assistant, Mark Durgan, is playing at the Cube on Saturday 19th May - alongside Ekoplekz and Stephen Cornford amongst others - http://www.cubecinema.com/cgi-bin/diary/programme.pl#6619 - highly recommended]

Ok - back to work for me!
Best wishes to all,
Tom"
