Mattson Mini Modular/Divison 6 SQ816 Sequencer Demos

SQ816 running mute by MMModsynth

http://www.division-6.com/

"Quick demo of the MMM/Division 6, SQ816 sequencer.
Highlighting the running mute. The running mute function kills the main gate when the button (or footswitch) is pressed.
The setup is two CV busses running two independent voice chains.
The B bus is fired from either the main gate or, from taps in the 2,3,5,and 7 stage gate outputs.
When the running mute is pressed, only the B voice chain comes through until the foot swith is released. Then, the main gate kicks in and all stages on both voice chains are triggered.

NOT a pro production. Just a quick recording while testing the system."

SQ816 Ping Pong-Random demo
SQ816 Ping Pong-Random demo by MMModsynth
"Programmed 16 channels in a chromatic major scale from C, up two octaves to C# on stage 16.
Set the C#'s in mute (stage 2 and 9) and left the channel 16 C# active.
Have a "Kick" generated on stages 1 and 11 with a "snare generated on 5 and 13.
Started in forward mode than, switched to Ping-Pong mode. I have SOS mode enabled (Start on Stage) which provides a double hit on the endpoint stages.
The strings are a bit loud but. The point was that it was in Ping-Pong mode while in C, running up and down the scale.
When I transpose to C#, I kick in the random mode.
When switching back to C, I kick it back to Ping-Pong mode. The sequencer re-enters Ping-Pong at the point and direction that it left when launched into Random mode.
Definitely not a pro production but, gets the control point across."

Circuit Surfin' (july 2012)

YouTube Published on Jul 27, 2012 by squidfanny

"Quick bit of fun with some current Circuit Bent projects.

The Little Yellow things are lovely Analog Drum Synths, The Grey thing is an HR-16 Digital Drum Machine & the Red thing is an ASR-X Sampler with a glitched-out DSP effect.

Acid line comes from a dusty old TB-303 clone with crackly pots (future project, awaiting some TLC).

Search past vids for more on these various machines."

The drum modules are currently up for auction:

Subscope Theremin + Talking Machine

YouTube Published on Jul 14, 2012 by EtherealTristesse

"I am using a Subscope Theremin here plus the Electro-Harmonix 'Talking Box' set on an open/fixed "Ah" to play 'Pie Jesu'. It is pretty amazing how this effect box can change the usual sound of the theremin to a very believable human voice."

Ryk John Miller Thekreator's Liquid High Hat -- A voltage controlled hihat/noise source module

YouTube Published on Jul 27, 2012 by hexinverterDOTnet

"I have been proudly offering Ryk's excellent circuit design as a circuit board that others can build for the past few weeks over at http://www.hexinverter.net , and decided it would be an excellent idea to make this demonstration video for folks!

The module is capable of many different timbres, and is not restricted to hihat sounds. It is made from very commonly available components that most people will already have in their parts stash. PCBs are $15.

Purchase here: http://shop.hexinverter.net/product.php?id_product=11

Synth Chick with Moog Liberation

via The Bob Moog Foundation

"Someone recently donated this image, found at the botttom of a box of Moog memorobilia, to us. Can you help us identify this rocker chick?

Here’s what we know: The setting looks like a convention, likely a NAMM show. The keytar is, of course, the first commerically produced portable synthezsizer, the polyphonic Moog Liberation. The year is likely early ’80s, as the Liberation was released by Moog Music, Inc. (Buffalo) in 1980. We also know it’s the eighties by the big hair, big glasses and rockin’ leather pants."

If anyone knows who this is, feel free to comment here or the link above.

Miselu Interview with Korg's Hironori Fukuda

Hironori Fukuda recently ported the KORG Polysix to Miselu featured in this post. You can find the full interview on miselu. On the port:

"How would you describe the experience of porting the application to the Miselu platform?

'Looking back, everything went smoothly. The Miselu platform has already been perfectly customized for synthesizer use with low latency audio playback based on their great MusicSDK. Also, I felt that the display size really works well music apps. For example, it behaves just like the top panel of hardware so designing the user interface was very straightforward. It ended up being a much easier port than I had expected.'"
