Verbos Buchla Format 247v Sequential Voltage Source

via Buchlatech
"I have been working on a new Sequential Voltage Source. It is only a single module space and packs a big punch. It does most of the things a MARF or ARF does, but without any menus. It can act as an 8 stage sequencer with two rows, voltage control of the clock/slide rate, switchable slides/pulses, pulse outs on each channel and the ability to loop from any stage to any stage. It can act as a multi-stage envelope, up to all 8 stages with any stage as a sustain stage or any stage pausing unless a key is held. It can act as ADSR, AHDSR, HADSR, AD, AR, AHD, LFO saw, pulse, square, triangle, something more complex, LFO that only runs when a key is held, LFO that only runs when a key is lifted..."

via lauterZEIT where you'll find full details. In short:

"The LauterZeit msqconvert is a simple file translator / converter for Apple OSX platform, allowing you to convert between standard MIDI files and the MSQ-100 'Q1' SysEx format.

"This is a video that I recently made in which I have now went back and removed the noise using audicity. The noise in many of my videos has been due to the camcorder ACG input. I now run audio and video separately and then sync back together when producing the final video."

"POLYMER MOLECULE SYNTH SET. This nine-piece set includes the complete ISOMER MOLECULE SYNTH SET plus a MIDI-Input.WHAT IS THE MOLECULE SYNTH?The MOLECULE SYNTH is a unique musical instrument. It is like a traditional keyboard synthesizer that has been broken into its elements: speaker/amp, sound generator, and pitch control. With the MOLECULE SYNTH SET you decide how to put those elements back together using simple, color-coded, interchangeable hexagons. The MOLECULE SYNTH combines LEGO-like interchangeability with Synthesizers with Physical Electronics.MOLECULE SYNTH =LEGO + SYNTHESIZERS + PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS“I must Create a System or be enslav'd by another Man's” -William BlakeI was inspired to create the MOLECULE SYNTH by experiences circuit bending toys and building my own electronic instruments, and I wanted to make something with sounds that were more wild and less predictable than what comes from traditional keyboards. I wanted an instrument that was more interesting than just pushing buttons, but I also wanted to get away from the “black box” pre-fab technologies that makes us all passive “consumers” using someone else’s designs. So I made the MOLECULE SYNTH to be an open ended, hardware-based, stand-alone musical instrument that is easy to hack & modify, that is DIY to the core, that totally rocks, sounds amazing, and is guaranteed super fun to play!The MOLECULE SYNTH has the pitch-accurate musical capabilities of any old random store-bought keyboard, but with the MOLECULE SYNTH, you can see and change the way that the instrument works. You can plug in a MIDI keyboard to control the MOLECULE SYNTH, or you can use the physical controllers for more experimental sounds.The MOLECULE SYNTH is like a building block set for creating your own musical device. You move the interchangeable components around and adjust controllers to create a variety of fun combinations. It’s an experimenter’s design set, which means you choose how the instrument is configured, and you can experiment with it fearlessly because you can’t hurt anything or yourself trying new combinations, and the hexes can moved again and again."
