Broken Silicon Patch by Richard Devine

"First experiment using the 'Broken Silicon'- error codes 1 - z-dsp card. The patch was created using all 8 program modes of the 'Error Codes card. ' Master clock from the Intellijel Dixie, then patched to a MakeNoise Brains and two Pressure points. Then clocked to a Doepfer A-160, 161 which triggered the CV program changes and created some very interesting digital noise bursts. Kick drum from the Cwejman BLD, and extra percussion from the SnazzyFX ardcore.

Note: patch is completely modular, no drum machines or computers used here:-)"

Provide full list of equipment used when making submission.

May 2012 Challenge Theme: Household objects/textures pictionary. Using synthesis and feedback methods, create a pattern or shape reminiscent of a household object or texture that is recognizable as such. Examples include lamp, comb, persian rug, curtain, chair, food items, etc. Bonus points for related animation element (for example, a lamp that turns on and off, or a toaster that produces toast.)

"If you’re walking around Maker Faire you may see a woman skating around with a strange looking instrument. That’s maker extraordinaire Jeri Ellsworth with her bass guitar made out of a Commodore 64. And did I mention she’s playing it while on roller skates? That’s talent!"

lu katavist: Thor's afternoon

"Seven improvised pieces with the Haken Continuum Fingerboard and modular synth. Again, no Midi was used. The Haken's internal sound was routed to the Analogue Systems RS-35 External Processor to generate cv from pitch and volume, with the JAG distributing cv to different modules simultaneously, the Doepfer A-163 Frequency Divider and A-124 Wasp Filter providing bass and the Doepfer A-137 Waveform Multiplier mangling the Haken's sounds.

"Thor's afternoon" was recorded on May 17th, 2012.

MacBeth micromac-D - Final Layout for Desktop micromac

via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

"Ok...this is the final layout for the desktop version of the micromac. Seen in negative here- this, as a positive, is the artwork that gets sent out tommorow to the reprographic department for silk screen. I'm satisfied with the total functionality of the parameters and design! The 3U Eurorack version is identical except missing the top row LF Oscillators..."
