Custom Minimoog Style Wood Case for Clavia Nord Rack

via this auction

Note the listing is for the case only and not the synth. Via the seller:

"This is a custom built item made by hand. I had made one to play live. A bunch of people loved it so I made another one which is much better than the first. I have not used this one for playing out. The keyboard is an Alesis Q25 midi controller. All keys work and mod & pitch wheels work. Important note: There are 3 buttons. The one on the left & right are octave buttons and work fine. The middle one is a funtion button that does work, but the data slider is not exposed. It is inside the enclosure. So the middle button is not used. In short this is a 25Key midi controller that transmits on channel 1 with Octave, Pitch Wheel & Modulation wheels. I am including the power supply for the controller. This is custom fit to a Nord Rack. If you are interested in a custom enclosure for a different synth you can email me. This item is only the wood enclosure & controller (Synth Not Included)..."

CGS Serge Noise Source & Random Voltage Generator

In case you missed the update in this post, Ken Stone of Catgirl Synth (CGS) will also have the new Noise Source, which, actually is a 1975 design.  The Serge Tcherepnin copyright in the image from that post was for the new drawing of the schematic.

Pictured here is the Noise Source in Ken's system along with the Random Voltage Generator.  The Noise Source makes the Random Voltage Generator possible.  In the image below, the PCB with fewer parts in the bottom pic is the Noise Source. The other board is the SSG (Serge Smooth and Stepped Generator).

CGS Multi Tempo Patch

"I don't know how many years it is that I have been working towards getting a decent sized patch going. Too much building, too many interruptions, too many times having to pull something apart to answer questions. So over the last couple of weeks, my intentions got a little further than just being that, and a managed a couple of rudimentary/experimental patches. Finally today I spent a few hours putting this together. I don't know how many years I've wanted to do this particular type of patch, but it's been a lot. The basis is the C Am F G chord progression. VCO 1 is playing those notes, VCO 2 is playing harmony at twice the rate. VCO 3 is playing a 15 step sequence at 4(?) times the rate again, while VCO 4 is playing the "lead" at 1/2 the rate of VCO 1. The lead uses a Doepfer Phase Locked Loop to break up the tone a bit. This was just quickly recorded with the camera to make sure I have a record of it. At the moment there is no audio recording equipment in the room! Oh - the Serge isn't part of the patch. It is still wired up as per the last video."

1975 La-Trobe University Serge

"Not dressed for the occasion."

"Testing out four panels of the ex La-Trobe University Serge. The reverb module had just had 90% component replacement, and was being given a good work out to test it. The patch is just an expansion of the one in the last two panel video of this synth. Unfortunately the camera microphone leaves it sounding a little tinny. Please excuse the over-weight under-dressed old dude at the controls! XD"

Serge Sequence

Published on Dec 22, 2012

"Two modules from a vintage paperface Serge Modular from 1975. Upgrades/repairs made to sequencer section, inluding replacing and adding LEDs, an 8 ways switch to give a default sequencer patch, addition of cycle switches on the Negative Slews. Patch has two VCOs running from different rows of the sequencer/programmer. Neg slew as clock for seq. Neg Slew as LFO for second filter. 1st filter and Gate driven by Envelope generator. 2nd Env Generator acting as sub-oscillator. 2nd Gate used as a mixer/level."

"Here's an experiment with a new flagship product prototype!...........inferno? 6 oscillators, interchangable filters, interchangable touch keyboard with real keys, 2 ring modulators, dual tape delay simulators and more! As said- it's a prototype- but fun to start with- a true stereo synthesizer!"

KORG POLY-800とELECTRIBE ES-1を使ってます

Published on Mar 5, 2013 sasatakocom·18 videos

"DrumはES-1、他はPoly800の多重録音です。Poly800にはアルペジ­エーターが無いので、DAWのアルペジエーターで書き出したMIDIノートとちょいと­追加　を演奏させています。
LFOなんかでゆったり音色を変えたりも出来ないので、細かいフレーズを録音後にオー­ディオ用フィルタでCUTOFFとRESOをむにゅむにゅさせました。
動画は最近お気に入りのPowerDirectorのエフェクト集です。PowerD­irectorは軽いのと、BGM専用トラックがあって、聞きながら任意のマーカーを­手入力できるので、こういうビートに合わせてカットを変えていく作戦にはぴったりです­。ということで、練習も兼ねてエフェクトをいろいろ試してみました。今日のところは天­気もよかったし、おもいっきりかけちゃってますが、少し抑え目にうまく使えば、いろい­ろかっこよく出来そうな気がします。"

Googlish:

"ES-1, the other is for overdubbing Poly800. To Poly800 is because there is no arpeggiator, "Drum has been added to play the MIDI notes and Choi and exported in arpeggiator DAW.
Since I can not even change the tone or something loose in LFO, I was allowed to Munyumunyu the CUTOFF and RESO filter for audio after recording a fine phrase.
PowerDirector is a collection of video effects of recent favorite. And the light PowerDirector, there is a dedicated track BGM, so you can manually enter any marker while listening, is perfect for operations that will change the cut to the beat like this. With that said, I've tried various effects doubles as a practice. It was also good at the weather today, but gone over restraint, if used well, the eyes a little restrained, cool things that I feel like I can I will. '"
