"Never tried WIST before so I thought I'd give it a go...great for DJ's or party's and if spend a little time preparing your stuff you can do some very nice things and don't forget that there are loads of apps that support the WIST technology..."

YAMAHA DX7 Demo

Published on Aug 21, 2013 sasatakocom·22 videos

"YAMAHA QY70で以前作った（パターン作ってコード進行をくっつけた）ものをMIDIで書き出し。それをDX7で演奏させています。主にプリセットの音色をちょこちょこ調整。トラック別に録音。EQで細かく（その気になりながら）調整。わはは楽しいな。映像は撮りためてあったもの（たぶん今後もあまり使わなそう）を適当に配置。パッと見た時の色で順番を決めちゃったりなんかしちゃったりしまして、特別意味はありません。それでもいちおう、Canon iVisのシネマモードで撮ったりして、彩度を上げておもちゃっぽい不思議な感じになっているような気がしますが、気のせい。うう。そのせいでこのサムネイル。"

Googlish:
"We are allowed to play in DX7 export. It in MIDI (was stuck a chord progression to make pattern) what you made previously "YAMAHA QY70. Mainly hobbling on. Truck another adjustment. EQ recording finely that (the sound of a preset while worried about) Do not fun. Wahaha adjustment. then something or worse decide the order in color when viewed with. suddenly placed appropriately)'ll never use too much in the future (maybe that was committed to reservoir take the video it has or Chat, there is no special meaning. felt still the time being, or might take in cinema mode of Canon iVis, as has become a strange feeling like a toy by raising the saturation will be, but my imagination . uhh. the thumbnail. because of that "

"just having a play with Dr Gogo (DR55 clone) and one half of the dual Drums module. Obviously the panel is just a temporary home.
More info - http://nonlinearcircuits.blogspot.com..."

"A drum machine based on the analogue board of the DR-55, each sound can be individually triggered, bass and rimshot can be tuned with pots."

"I know its been a while, but we managed to get Gaz and Nick in the same room for long enough to shoot this episode in which we take a look at the CME Xkey which has affordable polyphonic aftertouch,plus we look at Propellerheads Thor Polysonic synthesizer"

Attack Decay Portamento W/ Gate control -- Sagittronics -- Charlie Slick

"this is a little fun demo of a portamento module I've been working on. It' has separate controls for attack/decay (rise/fall) as well as a slope adjust between Linear and exponential portamento. it's a modification of a Harry bissell design. I added a gate controlled switch for engaging the portamento."

Final 'TRANCE-GATE' AMSTRAD Synthesizers (august 2013)

"Well Hacked & Circuit bent AMSTRAD CKX100 Synthesizer(s).

These machines (there's two of them used in this vid) have been transformed using the power of alchemy & CMOS...

The Circuit Bending & Glitch brings forth a world of weird new sounds, chords & waveforms to experiment with.
The Step-Sequencer provides Gate, Pitch-Modulation & Unique Arpeggiator effects.

In parts of the vid, a Monotribe is synced from the Amstrad, in another part I'm using a MIDI-TRIGGER Converter to generate clock signals (for syncing) from a computer.
In another part I'm using the glitch buttons to scramble and disrupt the Amstrad's native beats & accompaniment.
At some point I'm also using the Glitch buttons to generate nasty waveforms and the step-sequencer to manipulate aforementioned waveform.

The Amstrad has a 'computer aided chord' function similar to the Omnichord, which allows the user to randomly hit any keys you want, without generating a 'dis-harmonious' note........

This little feature, when combined with the Glitch mods, will produce all manner of fascinating, ultra-harmonic and often terrifyingly sinister digital sounds.

These things blow my mind every time I play with them.

These will be the final ever 'Trance-Gate' Amstrad Synthesizers - I've reached the apex of what can be achieved with the current design (an evolved 4017 sequencer module), so I'm going back to the breadboard to try out some new ideas.

Constant and relentless experimenting is the nature of circuit bending. Being creative and trying new ideas is what makes it an art form. Without the creativity, you may as well be working as a assembly droid at a car factory....... you listening s-cat?

Anyway, I've got lot's of interesting ideas for the next Amstrad(s). Just gotta translate them into hardware now (the difficult part).

Wanna know what I'm thinking?

Well, I like the idea of fully transforming the Amstrad into an Omnichord (it shares identical chord feature). So I'm gonna build a metal touch-plate to replace the top octave of keys, along with some DIY circuitry, so that I can play it with fingers just like the Omnichord :)

I also want a dedicated arpeggiator, and an advanced sequencer circuit, which can trigger the notes as well as modulating the sounds. . . . It's a tall order, with not much space inside the machine, and limited capabilities of the Amstrad, however, the Amstrad has a MIDI output to go with the chord feature. This means that a decent step-sequencer circuit could further transform the humble Amstrad into a very powerful MIDI controller :)

Hmmm Lots of ideas and not enough hours in the night. Back soon :)"
