Baby Bugbrand noisebox mayhem - DIY micro frame

Published on Oct 28, 2012 by otoskope

"I spent my day converting an old toy drawer from my childhood into a small modular synthesizer frame for some Bugbrand modules.. This is the first test, with a chaotic feedback patch, just for fun.

The baby frame holds 7 frac-widths worth of modules plus power supply and distro. Currently I stuffed it with the following modules:

front side
CTL2 joystick/touch control
SYN2C tri-core oscillator
SYN2A utility oscillator
PRC3A SV multimode filter

back side
PRC1 PT Delay
DD1 Ring mod/LPG

and a Mini Power module"

259e Sequence V

Published on Oct 28, 2012 by boobtube356

This one kind of reminded me of The Doors LA Woman for some reason, and the intro sounds to LA Woman below reminded me of Buchla.

"Another spin on this concept, drawing on some of the discoveries last time. Mainly this is about using the 251e as a trigger source, with 281e modulated clock division, using the envelope outputs as the clock outputs, and the 266e FRV to modulate the decay.

Bassline = 259e
Elec piano = 285e with null signal input and FM from 259e (output volume set to max).
Lead thing = 259e soft sync. (still not happy with this, but had to get on with life and call it good enough)."

"modular synth jam"

a sucker for random - New Release by Franz Schuier

via Franz Shuler (also posted on MATRIXSYNTH-C)

"I finally finished it and would like to share with fellow synth lovers.

Except the drums and a bit of tertazzi and sunsynth here and there, the E.P. was done on a small buchla and a 5 panel serge.

"a sucker for random"

http://franzschuier.bandcamp.com/album/a-sucker-for-random

5 track E.P. exploring random voltages.

All tracks are based on underlying drumtracks programmed with analog drummachines. In contrast to the drumlines, the synths are driven by numerous random voltage techniques, using a Buchla Source of Uncertainty, Serge SSGs, Ciat Lombarde gear and a Serge TKB. More randomness was created by crossmodulating sources. E.g.: The SSG used the respective drum machine noise as source for the S&H.

Tracks were not arranged, but recorded as multitrack and then mixed/muted later on an analogue desk.
