Chilled Out Summer Synth Jam

YouTube Published on May 25, 2012 by snolan1990

"I haven't put anything up in a while because I have been away from home and more importantly my synths at Uni. I'm not a 100% happy with this but I have been working on it flat out for the past few days so I thought I would record a version before I pulled out all the patch cables.

Please excuse the sloppiness of that synth guitar, I have to record that bit live because quantization messes up the flow of anything like that and the JX-3P can't receive pitch bend data which is obviously pretty important.

I'm not too sure why the video is all hazy and laggy but I think it might be something to do with my camera adjusting to the light out my window before I moved it into the relative darkness of the room, anyway you get the idea with the footage.

For those interested in the technical side of it all.

Drums are a combination of Roland TR-626 and TR-707 samples in the Akai S900. Bass is Roland Juno-60. The pads are Roland JX-3P through the RAK DD-2000 digital delay. The faux electric piano is a Yamaha TX81Z preset through a Guyatone PS-013 chorus pedal (I love the combination of FM and that chorus) The Lead is a very simple patch on the HackMe Rockit which I recently constructed from a kit. The Choral patch thing towards the end is a Kawai KC-10 preset with loads of delay from a Frontline DDS-20 digital delay. Finally the synth guitar is the JX-3P "Dist Guitar" preset through a DigiTech Hot Head distortion pedal, then through the Noise Gate of the Alesis 3630 and finally with a bit of the RAK DD-2000 delay. (The waves were just dragged in next to the track in Audacity, I had tried sampling it in the Oberheim DPX-1 but it lost too much fidelity to work, I could have put it in the E-mu ESI4000 but It would have covered about 4 floppies and I couldn't be bothered to load for 10 mins every time I wanted to work on it)"

Lunetta Guitar

YouTube Published on May 25, 2012 by NakagawaGakki

"This is the first run of a new instrument I am building. An 8stringed Synth Driven Guitar, rather than a "Guitar Synth".
As part of my 3month Artist Residency at the Artifactory (April-June 2012) I wanted to learn more about CMOS Circuitry / Boolean Logic particularly using the 4000 range chips AKA Lunetta Chips.
This will be an ongoing project and I hope to have a completely self contained Modular Synth/Guitar hybrid to both perform/interact with and possibly setup as a self playing instrument aswell.
Each module is made in free-form style (Point to point, Space Wiring) where no PCB or prototyping boards are used. Each Module will be based on a 50mm x 50mm format using SIP connectors and Breadboard jumper leads to patch the modules together.

In this video the modules are temporarily affixed to a wooden frame but the Lunetta Guitar will have a grounded wire frame between each guitar neck where modules will be secured.

There first Module Ive made that is driving the motor plectrums in this video is based on the online build notes of the crazy 8Bit Cipher Gate Sequencer circuit from Non Linear Circuits:
http://www.sdiy.org/pinky/data/data.html
Its very playable and rhythmic in a "nonlinear" sense.
Next job is to get more current to the motors (or switch them out for servos) and build an ebow type circuit to vibrate each string independently.

There are lots of Lunetta circuits to be found on the vibrant forums of Electro-Music:

"Live looping improv jam with a DSI MoPho, Akai MPD26 and APC20, two iPads, an iTouch, and a DJ TechTools MIDI Fighter 3D. One iPad is running Audanika's SoundPrism Pro, triggering NI's Massive through an iConnectMIDI. Lemur is running on the other iOS devices, wirelessly controlling mixer functions and effects in Ableton Live. All audio is passed through a PreSonus 1818VSL connected to a Macbook Pro.

dualLFO and delays

"quickie modcan
- dualLFO is the only sound source.
- 4VCA and quad LFO aid in cross modulation of the dualLFO, some slight lowpass filtering from the 48dB filter(but only cutting@ 6dB/oct here).
- utilizes both super and digital delay modules. super delay(analog) does not enter the mix until second half."
