Duality Formed Fabric


Duality Formed Fabric from VoltageCtrlR on Vimeo.

"This is a live improvised analog modular synth composition featuring the Animoog (Iphone App) patched into the Make Noise MATHS module This sound exploration is a glimpse of what my live shows are like. This song will be featured on my up coming limited edition vinyl release that shall remain nameless for the time being."

Doepfer A-155 Sequencer as Graphic VCO


Doepfer A-155 Sequencer as graphic VCO from N K on Vimeo.

"This short video clip shows the Doepfer A-155 Analog Sequencer being used as a graphic VCO. The rate is controlled by the square wave output of another VCO (Doepfer A-110). Three steps of the sequence are modulated by three separate LFOs all at different rates making a constantly changing waveform. The A-155 output is processed by a Doepfer A-121 LPF stage, modulated by another LFO, creating smoother edges."

Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot TT-303 - Pattern Personalities, Mutate, Copy & Paste

Published on Jan 16, 2013 x0xclones·4 videos

"Our new website will be going live very soon at http://www.x0xclones.com where we will be providing information and reviews on clones and software emulations of the Roland SH-101, TB-303, TR-808 and TR-909.

In this video I demonstrate a some bot-generated patterns using each of the 7 "personalities". I then copy and paste one of the patterns into four pattern slots, and "mutate" the last pattern to create some variation before copying these 4 patterns into one pattern containing 64 steps. I then go back and repeat the process to give two 64 step patterns, each with the last 16 steps containing a different mutated pattern. I finally select the two 64 step patterns to continue to play one after another.

Here's the description of the 7 personality algorithms from the manual...

Presets 1 and 2 will produce 'fluid' styles as a lead instrument, usually with a 4/4 time signature (but not always!).
Presets 3 and 4 will produce 'glitched' styles as spontaneous riffs in a track, breaks or segue transitions as a band background instrument, generally in 4/4 or 2/4 time.
Presets 5 and 6 will produce 'triplet' styles for accompaniment or as the lead instrument, usually consisting of twelve triplet notes.
Preset 7 will produce 'chaotic' styles for creatively more complex patterns as the lead instrument. Patterns will primarily be quarter notes or triplets and the length of the patterns may vary from one to sixteen steps."

RED SOUND ELEVATA SYNTHESIZER

via the seller: "I tried out several very cool analogish sounds. It reminded me of a Roland Juno 60 meets an Arp Odyssey. I hope this rare limited production run of 250 Elevata goes to the right person, someone who knows what this baby can do and how it works."

I played a Darkstar and it did remind me a bit of a Juno-60, but a bit dry sounding if that makes any sense. Not so much an ARP Odyssey. The Elevata is a different synth though. I forget if the engine was based on the Darkstar or if it was a complete re-write like the Nord Lead 3 vs. the Nord Lead 1 and 2.

Roland Jx-8P Synth With Kenton Control Freak & Original Box

via this auction

Posting this one here vs. MATRIXSYNTH-B for the Control Freak & its box & manual shots to the left.  The Control Freak was a programmable MIDI slider box that you could map to edit different synths and MIDI gear.  Packaging, design, and marketing materials always fascinate me as it gives you an idea of what sort of feel the manufacturer was trying create, or not, in some cases.  I thought this one was particularly interesting.  Orange on white.  The design reminds me of something out of the 40s or 50s if not earlier. Any design or font buffs out there?

"Teisco Synthesizer 60-f for sale. Everything works apart from the rubber pitchbend buttons, but this was a common problem... Used for messing about with but never sussed out the gated controller inputs for use with other hardware / instruments as it has no MIDI for timing. Apparently, if you have a trigger source with MIDI sync (MIDI to CV/trigger converter, drum machine with trigger output) you can fire the EG and control the VCA and VCF of the external signal. For example, you can use an E-Mu SP12 with metronome individual output that can perfectly trigger the EG in several time signatures synced with MIDI tempo (1/4, 1/4t, 1/8, 1/8t, 1/16, 1/16t, 1/32, 1/32t). Then you can control the amplitude decay of every "slice" of incomming signal with the slider of the EG, as well as the decay of the cutoff frequency of the LPF affected by the EG..."
