Circuit Abbey "Impulse Drive" : the Hidden VCA

Published on Mar 27, 2013 signalflowonline·12 videos

"In this video I demonstrate how, by using a negative envelope and bending the design of the Injector Select circuit, you get a VCA out of the Circuit Abbey 'Impulse Drive.' Also - when using it as a VCA with percussive elements, you can get some really weird gates and noise bursts."

Squidfanny - Circuit Bended KAWAI R-50 Drum MAchine (march 2013)

Published on Mar 27, 2013 squidfanny·138 videos

"Kawai R-50 Drum Machine, circa. late 1980's. Dripping with Lo-Fi charm & Character.
Circuit Bent & Re-fitted with the legendary Kawai 'Electronic' ROM as well as the infamous 'R-100' ROM.

Just a quick vid, to show off the sounds and features.

In my humble opinion, the Kawai's are the greatest digital drum machines ever made - the features are staggering, especially for such a small little piece of 80's technology. The sound sets are phenomenal, the sequencer is rock solid and it feels really nice to use.

On the downside, it's quite noisy and there's not much pattern memory. Doesn't work too well as a midi slave either, but works fine as a master. Also the manual has a couple of annoying errors, which will chew up loads of time trying to figure out.

Do you own one? Then hat's off to you sir... You've got a really nice piece of Lo-Fi 80's technology."

"This is my first recording of the amazing Ciat Lonbarde Tetrax instrument (or any CL instrument for that matter - I'm usually having too much fun when I play them to record anything). You play it by pressing wooden barres. And it can be played with a variety of performance gestures (such as the violin-like "cad. It is easier to tune than the older version (Tetrazzi) and can be patched with banana cables, as I demonstrate here.

Enjoy!"

Lord, forgive me for my synths
