"Buchla 223e as keyboard/controler for a Rob Hordijk System.
I tuned the 223e output voltage to use it as 1/V Oct keyboard.
Works great!

Ground control to PIANATRON


Published on Oct 29, 2012 by Pi Synth

The strings on this piece are the Pi Synth. You can see them come in and out in the waveform player.

"I'm very late with the sampling demo of PIANA that I promised well over a week ago, so to keep you entertained - mainly to stop you all getting sick of waiting - I loaded up my freshly-programmed string section, tried to learn 4 chords and play them reliably, dug out my old remixed stems of Space Oddity, and replaced the Wakemantron with some appallingly ham-fisted 3 finger chords. Occasionally 4 fingers as I dropped another F on top for the heck of it.

Demo with talking and explaining to follow soon, but in the meantime just ignore the poor playing and think about the fact that this sample-based synth is running on £35 worth of kit. Cool, eh?

Heavy Horses and the Vactrol Monsters


Published on Oct 29, 2012 by matt davis

"Recently I finished two builds: an LFO designed by me, and the amazing Buchla 292c "Low-Pass Gate" with PCB by Thomas White (panel by Clarke). Both devices feature vactrol inputs for CV control, which makes for some truly magical sounds; I definitely feel like I'm controlling unknown forces of nature when playing on these things."

SoundMachine - Lego Based Drum Machine

SoundMachine: a LEGO beat sequencer

Published on Sep 12, 2012 by markclego

"SoundMachine is a 4 track 8-step drum sequencer that uses the LEGO Mindstorms NXT to scan a set of drum "notes" which are then played using Ableton Live. The NXT uses four colour sensors to detect the colour of 2x2 LEGO bricks as the plate is scanned in. A controller written in Processing interprets the colour pattern and sequences MIDI note messages to send to Ableton Live, which in turn plays the sounds you hear.

The music on the video was created by SoundMachine itself - music you can build!"

More video of SoundMachine in operation, this time showing how the plate is scanned and converted into notes in the GUI, which in turn sends MIDI commands to Ableton Live to play the music
