EMW-200 Improv by Atomic Shadow

EMW-200 Film from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.

"An improvisation featuring the EMW-200 from Electronic Music Works. No external effects or processing was used. The main patch contains three sub-patches. The first is the S/H module controlling VCO2 and then fed to the delay module. The second has the triangle wave on the master oscillator and VCO 1 ring modulating in the wave shaper section. And finally the noise output is being low pass filtered and then being ring modulated by the dedicated LFO (which is also modulating the pitch of VCO 1). Each sub-patch is routed to the left and right channels of the six channel mixer.

I am struck by the warm and organic tones that can be generated by this instrument, as well as the sometimes unexpected sounds that can result from very small changes in the controls. In an upcoming video I will be pairing the EMW-200 with some external effects."

I think I spy a MATRIXSYNTH card on the very lower right of the video frame. :)

devsound SJS-ONE Synthesizer

"SJS-ONE is a software defined 8-bit mono synthesizer with a dual (series) MAX261, switch-cap filter, which we are, as far as we know, the only ones to use at this point in a DIY-synthesizer.

The synthesizer has some interesting history that has certainly colored its development and ultimately it’s sound. The initial version was developed as an instructional workshop for a synth-event called SyltJam in 2011. The workshop idea was to show people how quickly you can design the basic hardware and software required to produce a platform for versatile audio and music generation.

As it turned out, people liked it’s sound so much that we decided to refine the design – which more or less involved adding peripheral components to increase configurability and improve on stability and ESD, ground-mismatch and noise sensitivity while keeping the actual design minimal and simplistic.

It’s beginnings are as humble as it’s production – less than 50 of these have been made available and all parts are hand assembled and hand soldered, while the manual is hand drawn and cases hand painted.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of this synth is the choice of digital platform – the Arduino. We did not want to build something static and opted to keep the Arduino instead of adding an on-board microcontroller. Because this will make it so much easier to modify the functionality of the synth firmware provided by us, or to write your own software with a completely unique sound using the vast community support that is available for the Arduino platform.

All aspects of the synth can be fully controlled by designing your own custom firmware and we sincerely hope that people will share their firmware in the spirit of the open source and hardware that inspired us to drive this project from idea to final product.

"Twentieth visit to the Garden. Composed for Virus TI, Little Phatty and Blofeld"

"The twentieth piece of the HR cycle. To celebrate this number, I decided to use various means of composition. After a small introduction with the Virus TI, the first part goes on with Little Phatty solo lines, 00:41 to 6:11, with a small touch of Virus TI, 0:59 to 1:17, and some drops of Wiener Philarmonik Steinway, 5:00 to 5:53.
From that point, some Virus TI elements of the 19 previous pieces appear in a new configuration to develop at the same time echoes and brand new musical forms. It runs during the second part - with a short background call,(as a night bird call), of Doepfer coming from HR XVII, between 1:39 and 1:45. At 5:27, the Virus Ti vanishes and the end of this part is exclusively composed for Blofeld. I wanted to do something special for this twentieth composition of the HR cycle, and I will of course go on this work in progress since this issue gave me many new ideas."

Inside a Roland Jupiter-4

via Abertronix on Facebook

"Inside of a Roland Jupiter 4. An old but beautiful 4 voice analog synthesizer. Its old so I need to replace most electrolytic capacitors and various other components...

The biggest worry with the Jupiter 4 is that it uses a rechargeable nicad battery to save your settings. The problem is that old batteries have a tendency to leak acid which eats away the copper traces in the circuit. Not impossible to fix but a pain. Im crossing my fingers with this one."
