Published on Oct 16, 2012 by n3bsvid

[ Music: http://citizenpark.bandcamp.com ]

"Just a little messing around with the LFO in ramp-wave modulating both filters set with pretty high Q's. The MS-20 is one angry beast.

The recording was done dry, no effects.

Thomas Henry's 555-VCO

Thomas Henry's 555-VCO from fonitronik on Vimeo.

"A short unedited demo of my built of Thomas Henry's latest 555 timer based VCO. The 1V/Oct input is fed by a Dopefer Quantizer to show how nicely it tracks.

NOTE that i left off the PWM in my build, but added a switch and a LED to switch from VCO to LFO mode. In this demo i only use the VCO mode, though."

This piece sports two body contacts, pitch control, warp button and a mono output... this thing is weird, fun and actually pretty versatile with it's limited'ness. ;)

This piece came out pretty cool, take a look. Make sure to check out the website and subscribe for more odd Dr. Blankenstein creations.
