808 Kick Drum Clone PCB

via Tindie Inc (via Laurentide)

"This is a near exact clone of the famous kick drum from the classic tr-808 drum machine. The only changes are for facilitating the common mods (extended decay and a pitch pot), and a slightly more flexible trigger input.

This can be triggered by a trigger output of a drum machine, or by a CV/Trigger from a modular synth, a cmos square wave, or even a loud audio transient. Alternatively you could wire a switch or button to send the trigger input high as well. (Basically a quick +V to the trigger input does the job).

It runs on +/- power supply, you can run 2 9v batteries in series, or run it off a bipolar (+/-15v or +/-12v power supply). Or... experiment!

This is an easy and cheap build - I have a Mouser BOM available here: http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=950b04d9fc

Schematic is here: http://www.anestheticaudio.com/808bd_sc.jpg

Sherman Destroys Miami

Published on Nov 6, 2013 AudioCentralMagazine·175 videos

"Sherman Filterbank 2 is destroying/filtering the fairly hot signal of Acidlab MIAMI drum machine. Both filters are in lopass mode, with high resonance and envelope and FM and AM and LFO and the whole enchilada on a free run fiddling session over the front panel. No music, just real time varying Sherman controls against MIAMI drum machine."

Polyphonic A-115 sequences

Published on Nov 6, 2013 GruithuisenCityMan·472 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 play polyphonically the sequences created ! Some reverb added for a nicer sound."

My First Pure Data Patch by BrontoScorpioMusic

Published on Nov 6, 2013 BrontoScorpioMusic·5 videos

"I just found my very first Pure Data patch! I made this a few hours after I got PD some months ago.

It's a really silly patch, but it sounds surprisingly "good" for such a simply probability based thingy."

Manhattan Analog CVP Control Voltage Processor

via this auction

"The CVP (Control Voltage Processor) is a +/-5v offset, glide (slew) and a bipolar attenuator. There is a two-color LED present to provide a visual display of the output signal (+Red/-Green).

The multiple output provides a buffered copy of the input signal. It is configured to drive multiple inputs with no signal drop. The twin outputs are configured in the same way. The total gain is trimmed to exactly 1.00, making the module suitable for use with pitch CVs.

This thing will allow you to scale, invert, offset, and/or slew a signal - and then send it to a half-dozen different destinations without any voltage drop. It'll do portamento on pitch CVs without wrecking the v/oct scaling; I've tested it successfully driving up to 6 VCOs in unison. It'll show you exactly what the signal's doing with the LED. And it'll do all that while providing a buffered copy of your original input signal for you to take elsewhere in your patch.

Features

+/-5V Offset
Glide (Slew)
Bipolar Attenuverter (Can go plus and negative)
Two Color LED for Plus(Red)/Negative(Green) Output"

Manhattan Analog 4HP Mix Module

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Manhattan Analog Mix is a 4hp Eurorack module designed primarily for clean, high-quality audio mixing.

It is DC-coupled so that it retains utility as a CV mixer when necessary. Under the hood it's a dead-simple op amp mixer with three unipolar inputs and an output which can be switched between uni- and bi-polar operation with a jumper on the board. The inputs use audio-taper pots and the output is linear to facilitate
both modes of operation."
