Doepfer A-115 as a quantized sequencer
Published on Nov 3, 2013 GruithuisenCityMan·471 videos
"It is possible to turn a Doepfer A-115 into a nice little weird sequencer. The result is often somewhat strange but always interesting ! And it is also possible to quantize the sequences created that way with a A-183-2 and then a A-156. Some reverb added for a nicer sound."
Buchla Modular Sounds 12

"Some fun with the K4816, Blacet time machine and 285e frequency shifter.
Forgot to write down the patch, but it is essentially:
- 261e controlled by K4816 through 292e with envelope from 281e
- One 292e out to 206e (center)
- 292e all to Blacet time machine
- Time machine full wet to 285e frequency shifter
- Up output to 292e (creating feedback to the timemachine)
- Output of this 292e channel to 206e (right)
- Down output of the 285e frequency shifter to 206e (left)
- Some modulation of 261e timbre, symmetry, 285e frequency, 281e decay, K4816 start etc."

"I thought this thing was pretty cool. Out of the box the settings are horrible, but with tweaking you can create some interesting sounds. I have no prior experience with the instrument enjoy, comment, subscribe."

Patching a Roland SH-5
"When I moved in to my new house recently my new studio doesn’t have a door and my 14 month old son wonders in curiously. He plays all my synths, but recently he has been dialing patches like he know what he’s doing. Here he is this morning patching the SH-5 with a funky bass."
Mark Mosher's 9 Box Instrument / Installation at Mountain Oasis Festival 2013 w/ Bob Moog Foundation
Published on Nov 3, 2013 Mark Mosher·58 videos
"The Bob Moog Foundation invited me to bring my "9 Box" installation / instrument to the Mountain Oasis Festival 2013 to be part of Dr. Bob's Interactive Sonic Experience. The 9 Box ran for 18 hours over 3 days and was played by 100s of festival goers of all ages.
The 9 Box is a Collaborative AudioCube Jam Instrument with Music, Sound & Light by Mark Mosher (http://www.MarkMosherMusic.com & http://9box.modulatethis.com). Part collaborative instrument, part interactive installation -- the 9 Box allows up to six casual players to instantly make music and shape sound by manipulating blocks called AudioCubes.
This video to youtube which will give you a taste of 9 Box in the booth area. It was so rewarding see people's reactions to the 9 Box and to hear their creations throughout the weekend.
AudioCubes, made by California based Percussa (http://www.percussa.us), are smart wireless cubes capable of sensing each other's location and orientation as well as distance to your hands, fingers and other objects. They also emit feedback in the form of light as you interact with them.
Ultimately this hands-on approach allows players to manipulate sets of sounds in 3x3 grids -- hence the name 9 Box. The 9 Box supports also supports user creatable "refills" allowing for unique and endless sonic possibilities.
Mountain Oasis Festival was just an incredible experience all the way around. One of the coolest music-related trips ever!!! HUGE thanks to:
- Michelle Moog-Koussa for inviting me out and including the 9 Box in Dr. Bob's Interactive Sonic Experience!!! It was so great to be a part of a vibrant music education program.
- All the players throughout the weekend
- Ken Jones from mountainsongguitars.com who provided the PA
- The Bob Moog Foundation's wonderful staff and volunteers (http:www.moogfoundation.org)
- BMF's Andi Morell & Marc Doty for helping me with logistics
- Geary Yelton and Susan Granados for being such amazing hosts.
- Bert Schiettecattefor inventing the incredible AudioCubes
- Ableton for creating Live
- TheGigEasy for providing mic stand cube mounts"
CASIO HT 3000 WITH ANALOGUE FILTER
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Casio HT and HZ series are a very interesting group of synthesizers produced from 1987-1991. They use a very specific form of sound generation called "SD Synthesis". Short for "Spectrum Dynamic" SD Synthesis has some things in common with the subtractive synthesis we know and love. The synth takes a waveform and runs it through a real analog VCF (filter). There are ADSR envelopes for the DCA and VCF that shape the sound. And there is an LFO just like on a standard subtractive synth, although this LFO only modulates pitch (vibrato) and volume (tremolo). Where things get interesting, is in the choice of waveforms available from the synth engine. There are 32 incredibly varied waveforms, some sound very nasal or narrow, some like saw or square waveforms, some with an odd metallic timbre, and some feature white noise. It's still a mystery exactly how these waves are created, but experts suggest they contain a number of harmonically-rich pulse waves at different octaves, as well as a ring modulator and an analog noise source. To make things even more interesting, these waves have pre-programmed amounts of PWM and amplitude modulation built into them. For example, one SD wave could contain two pulse waves fading in and out at different times. But you don't have to understand all of this to get the best out of the synth. The mystery and modulation of it all means you can just pick a preset and change the waves around and see what happens. The synth sounds are in the same ballpark as other DCO-synths of the time, and can even sound a little PPG-like on a good day. The filter is great and adds a nice swoosh to some sounds, plus there is also a nice chorus effect on board. Additionally, being a home keyboard, it has built-in speakers, a Drum Machine and an Auto-Accompaniment mode (the lower tone is used for accompaniment). The drum sounds resemble the Casio RZ-1 8-bit drum machine."

Doepfer Dark Energy MK1 with Custom Angled Desktop Wood Side Panels
via this auction
"This is the highly desirable MK1 model which had to be discontinued due to the CEM3394 chip being no longer available. It has a lovely 24db resonant low pass filter and a unique and warm/gnarly sound. As you can see from the photos the small original side panels have been upgraded to these lovely wooden panels which raise it up to a perfect angle for tweaking. It also has the glide function and knob added. It is of course semi modular and can be self patched too. It also has a midi to cv converter built in so you can use it to drive other analogue synths. It comes with the original power adapter..."
