Midibox Sid Station in Commodore 64 Case

via the seller: "This is a midibox Sid synthesizer based off the commodore sound chips much like the elektron Sid station but with knobs and more polyphony. It's like a sammich Sid fully knobbed out which makes it infinitely more enjoyable and there are way more voices! I'm sure if you're looking at this you know what it is and there is plenty of info out there. I got it from 'exfade' in a trade who does modifications to the roland tr machines and after he made it then straight to me, I've played it for a couple hours total so it's kind of like new DIY. The commodore case was obviously sawed out funky on the back but you never see it when playing and could maybe be addressed if you are good with DIY electronics. This thing eats other Sid based synthesizers for breakfast! I was told it's got 8 chips and two of them are the dirtier sounding older chips, I've never looked inside so I don't know for sure. The unit works great, takes a couple seconds to boot up and have the lights turn on then it purrs like a kitten.."

Quantized Noise

Published on Dec 17, 2013 Stephen Drake·40 videos
Update: stereo version added further below.

"When I came up with the patch for this video, I though it would make a nice 3-5 minute video, but get boring fast after that. Well, now it's done, and it's 3 times that long. Sorry. If you make it all the way through, you deserve a medal.

How do you get quantized noise? Start with white noise, then use a sample and hold to grab pitches from it, then run those pitches through a quantizer. Easy! The Noise and Sample and Hold come from a MOTM 101, clocked with the 4ms SCM/RCD. Then, we add some bells and whistles to make it more interesting. I added a slow ramp wave from a MOTM 320 to give the random pitches an ascending shape. Then, I'm using the Synthesis Technology e350 Morphing Terrarium for the basic sounds - the X, Y and Z cv ins are being modulated by the dual wogglebug and the MOTM 380 quad LFO. The XY out of the e350 is going to the left side of the Thonk Music Thing Dual Spring Reverb, and the Z out of the e350 is going to a Synthesis Technology e580 Sampling Mini-Delay, which delays the signal one beat, and the wet signal is going to the right side of the Reverb.

I'm using the Craig Lee 8 Channel Quantizer, only one channel of it. I step through all the available scales on it. I'm using it in Sample and Hold mode, driven from the same 4ms SCM/RCD, otherwise the slow ramp wave would introduce all kinds of glitched notes.

The Thonk Music Thing Modular Dual Spring Reverb is new to me, and I'm messing with it a lot here. It starts out fairly dry, and I crank up the reverb a little bit at a time. I also switch between the spring tanks and the digital brick, somewhat randomly - when the 2 switches are up, it's the brick; down, it's the spring tanks."
