vcNOIZ -- A DIY Voltage Controlled Noise Source for your modular

Published on Sep 21, 2012 by hexinverterDOTnet

"This is a very early preview of a voltage controlled noise module I am working on. It is of course designed for use in an analog modular synthesizer.

That is, the pitch is controllable via control voltage signals, which makes for a very interesting sonic palette.

If there is enough interest, I will make a circuit board and have it for sale in the hexinverter.net online shop.

All of the parts are pretty commonly available and should make for a pretty fun project to put together.

This design differs from a lowpass filtered white noise source, because a lowpass filter would likely alter the edges (and thus the sonic characteristic) of the noise. Because the noise source itself is generated by a digital shift register, harsh digital noise reminiscent of the C64 and NES will be possible at all frequencies."

Rubicon TZ demo

Published on Sep 21, 2012 by UncertainMusicCorps

"Little demo to show some of the timbres you can get from the Rubicon oscillator with through zero FM.

What you hear is just the sine output from the Rubicon. The FM index is being modulated gently at audio rates from an AFG.The (linear) through zero modulator input is driven from an E350 Z output. I then do a slow manual scan through the entire wavetable in bank A of the E350, switch to bank B for a while and then return to Bank A.

Note sequence is generated randomly from A-149-1 clocked by Stoicheia. The sequence is multied to the 1v/oct inputs of all 3 oscillators."

Octatrack Pro Tip #9 - Track Trigging

Published on Sep 21, 2012 by ElektronHQ

"Try it out for yourself! Download the Project file for this Pro-tip here:
http://files.elektron.se/pro-tip/PROTIP9.zip

Tracks can be disconnected from the sequencer. This makes it possible to start and stop tracks individually, which can be used for live improvisations. The first eight [TRIG] keys trig disconnected tracks.

Moog Prototype "Thingamajig"?

via this auction

Piece of unrelated DIY work, or something actually from the early Moog days.  You be the judge.  This one is from the seller listing a number of Moog items from an estate sale supposedly of an early Moog engineer.  I'm curious who that might be.  The following is the item description:


"The auction is for a Moog thingamajig. I am not sure what this is. It is labeled only as a frequency divider. It was found with the Moog gear I have. Came from what I believe to be the estate of an early Moog engineer. as you can see it is in beyond rough shape. Case broken and missing parts. Boards damaged. Very incomplete. Yet its has some value to the Moog collector. Was this a custom built piece? A prototype? A rare part of the modular system? I do not know. But is for sure a missing link in Moog synthesizer history. Likely the only one to, well, sorta exist. So, here is what I see. We have 12 input, output sections. 12 pots labeled as scale.
12 breadboards underneath loaded with cap and resistors. Most boards look damn near identical. With one board looking a bit more complex. This excludes the 13th broken board, that may be a power supply board. or output board. The keyboard looks to be touch/force sensitive. Output jacks are labelled 1,2,4,8. With a switch for internal or external on each set of input, outputs. Check the pics. If any of you Moog junkies out there got any ideas. Please share. This is the first of a few unreleased Moog items I will be listing. I also have a Moog Apollo synthesizer. Which is from what I can tell a final rendition of the Polymoog keyboard, previous to its release. And another keyboard named the Moog "Polypreset".
Which shares some likeness to a Polymoog. But is really unique in features and layout."

Update: see this post for an update on the possible Moog tech this belonged to.
