Prokofiev's 'Dance of the Knights' for Analog Modular Synthesizer

Published on Dec 11, 2012 by justwaving

"This is the intro to 'Dance of the Knights' done just using the Modcan Touch Sequencer. There are 4 rows of 8 x 8 note sequences driving Modcan & Bubblesound VCOs. The filters used are the Intellijel Dr Octature, AmSynths JP8 and Doepfer A-106-5. This will be the last of my classical videos as I am busy on a new project. Some new material coming soon."

Music From Outer Space (MFOS) Soundlab Mini-Synth MKII Demo

"Yeah, its LOONNNGG! This synth continuously amazes me. After I made this vid, I replaced some resistors with a.1% tolerance to improve the V/OCT tracking. Holy stability! I can scale 9 Octaves and both VCO's stay in tune. (around 10 things get a bit squirrely). I could probably tweak it a bit more, but I never plan to play the high, so...

CV to MIDI: Kenton Pro Solo MKII
Effects: E-H Cathedral Reverb, Moogerfooger MF-104M Analog Delay


I have added the LFO rate mod and the VCO 1 Mod #3m More info here

Shruthi-1 kit assembly and first jam

Published on Dec 11, 2012 by rudeog

"This was a fun soldering project. It arrived from France on Saturday afternoon and by Sunday early AM I had sounds coming out of it. The synth has some really cool sounds.
This track's drums and bassline are provided by the trusty Electribe EMX which is also providing the MIDI sequence for the Shruthi-1 to play."

Audio demo at the auction and further below.

"The Roland R5 was a late 80's / early 90's drum machine that was an extremely capable unit, and somewhat ahead of its time, but was overshadowed by its big brother the mighty Roland R8. As a result it was often neglected as a poor mans R8 and was probably never really as popular as it should have been.

The standard machine has 68 sounds, four individual outputs plus a stereo pair, extensive sound shaping capabilities, 16 velocity sensitive pads and a whole host of 'human feel' and groove editing capabilities. One additional feature that takes the R5 into whole new realms of percussion programming is the ability to record parameter changes into patterns in on the fly using the data entry slider. This may not seem like much these days, but other than the R8 and the Yamaha RY30, it was a feature that was pretty much unique at the time.

Theres no room for any decent mods inside the casing of the R5, so as you can see we've bolted an extra case to the side of the unit and mounted a patchbay in it. The case is made from transparent blue plastic and contains several LED's that light up when you power up the machine. This gives you a very cool and unique glowing blue patchbay.

The patchbay mods consist of a 20 way main patching area, 2 x patching multiples, 2 x patchable switches and 1 x patchable momentary button. You can find full details of our drum machine patchbay mods on our website HERE. but essentially each 3.5mm patchbay socket is home to a certain audio process or effect which either combines with the effect from another socket when they are patched together, or sometimes just produces an entirely new effect you've never heard before. Multiple simultaneous connections may also combine in unexpected ways to produce a brand new unexpected effect, giving you a virtually unlimited number of warped alterations and audio mutations.
