littleBits Synth Kit: Random envelope & Filter mod

Published on Jan 17, 2014 Patrick McMaster·3 videos

"Today we go through a simple patch given some interesting upgrades by using the random bit to control the envelope and using a second oscillator to control the filter cutoff (filter modulation)"

"Brex" littleBits Synth Kit & Korg Volca Jam

Published on Jan 15, 2014

"Track made with an interesting littleBits synth patch - or at the very least the end result was shaped pretty uniquely!

Had a lot of fun with this and learned quite a bit about the littleBits synth kit along the way.

"No Scrubs" - Korg Volca & littleBits Synth Kit Jam
Published on Jan 11, 2014

"Introduced my Korg Volca Beats and Bass to a new friend, the littleBits Synth Kit. Some pretty great sounds are possible from this fun combination, but the problem is I don't have enough hands! Definitely looking forward to getting some more individual littleBits modules when they're available separately.

The only effects used are an MXR Distortion+ for the Volca Bass and the built in reverb on the Tascam DP-008. Recorded direct without overdubs in one take on January 11, 2014."

Uber Rare EMS VCS4 Samples

via Ninja Tune Official on Facebook, via I Dream of Wires

"Throwback! This is an extremely rare EMS VCS4 analogue synth from 1969 belonging to Matt Black of Coldcut, it was the first one he ever used. The model never went into production and there were just two prototypes...

Download a bundle of sounds Matt Black created with it: http://bit.ly/KLkeK1"

It looks like it's in a custom case.  You can see the original here. Some info via this post:

"Additonally, the VCS3 was also sold in a plastic breif-case and called the Synthi A. The major Synthi 100 system was based on three VCS3's strung together. Some ultra-rare commercially unavailable synths EMS made include the VCS4 in 1969 which was basically 2 VCS3's plus a keyboard. And the Synthi Keyboard 1 of 1970 was just a VCS3 with a mini 29-note keyboard. Many of these EMS synth's have been used by Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, Stereolab, Yes, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Jean-Michel Jarre, Astral Projection, Klaus Schulze, Depeche Mode, Vince Clarke, Add N to (X), The Who, Todd Rundgren, Recoil, Freddy Fresh, and many more."

A search on VCS4 will bring up more posts.

"Roland TR606 with the Analogue Solutions Tonal Mod. This Mod allows you to modify the qualities of each analog drum voice and gives you separate outputs per voice. It also features a MIDI IN/THRU port which I haven't used much except to sync via din/sync. I should also mention that it has the blue LED's and the mods were done here in NYC at 'The Analog Lab'"

"The Best feature of this box is the ability to trigger multiple CV/Gate synths separately, in unison, or in sequence, making this a very useful tool for sound sculpting if you have multiple Analog Voices with CV Volts per octave control.
-For example you can run an arpegiattor and have each successive note trigger a different monosynth round robin, or play them in unison, or completely seperate (by using seperate midi channels) all by changing the "mode" on the front panel..."
