"Stretch" with Judd Miller at Le Cafe 1986

Published on Feb 22, 2014 PatchmanMusic·17 videos

"Here is a wonderful performance from master studio synthesist and pioneering EVI wind controller player Judd Miller with the group "Stretch" recorded live in 1986 at Le Cafe in California. Wind controller players will appreciate the fact that Judd's Crumar EVI is pre-Midi!! It uses analog control voltage (CV) to control the attached Crumar EVI synth as well as the external Oberheim Xpander. A special guest in the audience is none other than EVI / EWI inventor Nyle Steiner! He is seen at 01:03:20 in the video.

Personnel:
Judd Miller - Crumar EVI / Oberheim Xpander
Art Rodriguez - Drums
Tom Kellock - Keyboards
Cliff Hugo - Bass

We hope you enjoy this rare glimpse into the early days of wind synthesis. If you want to read more about Judd Miller's amazing career in the studios and working on big budget movie soundtracks, visit:

Special thanks to our good friend Judd Miller for providing this video.

Enjoy!

Patchman Music Boss PS-6 Harmonist Wind Controller Demo

Published on Nov 15, 2013 PatchmanMusic·17 videos

"Here is a quick demo courtesy of Matt Traum and Patchman Music of the wonderful Boss PS-6 Harmonist pedal. Matt plays live through several of the Boss PS-6 settings with his EVI wind controller. All harmonies were generated in real time by the PS6 Harmonist. Three different patches were used as the input signal including a simple analog sawtooth lead from a Crumar EVI, the Piccolo Trumpet & Stevie! patches from Patchman Music's TURBO VL upgrade chip installed in a Yamaha VL70-m. A single note was input and the harmonies were all generated in real time and recorded. The Boss PS-6 is an INTELLIGENT harmoniser, that is, you can tell it what key you are in and it will create an appropriate harmony that fits the key of the music. It also does standard pitch shifting as well. You can hear both of these methods in this demo. Get your own Boss PS-6 Harmonist pedal and any other wind controller gear from The Wind Controller Specialists- Patchman Music! Email matt@patchmanmusic.com or call Matt at 440-740-1288."

New Section Fourteen Big Fat D Modular Sequencer

This is the first Section Fourteen post. We have a new maker in town.

via Section Fourteen

"The Big Fat D is a sequencer built with the very popular Arduino (Mega 2560). For those unaware, Arduino is an open source development platform that you can build all types of electronics with. It comes with it’s own IDE which uses Wiring (basically C++) as the programming language.

The inspiration for the project was to create a sequencer to interface with my eurorack modular synthesizer. At the start of the project, I was a complete novice when it came to electronics and had never used a soldering iron. The Big Fat D had somewhere around 400 solder points, so I got pretty good with my Weller soldering iron.

The sequencer has three different operation modes. 32 step, dual 16 step, or quad 8 step. When either dual 16 or quad 8 step mode is enabled, each sequencer acts on it’s own. The sequencer features reset, pendulum mode, an octave range switch and a master reset button for all sequences.

The Big Fat D uses DAC’s (digital to analog converters), Shift Registers and Multiplexers to perform various functions in the circuit. The DAC is used to create a smooth voltage for pitch, while the shift registers and multiplexers are used to minimize the number of pins used on the arduino for lighting led’s and reading potentiometer positions.
I had the front panel, which I designed, custom milled out of aluminum and used an off the shelf enclosure to house the circuit and wiring.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this project. It was my first electronics project and much was learned about building circuits and interfacing with ic's. I foresee many more Arduino based experiments and creations in my future.
The code and a list of ic’s is hosted on github for anyone interested in building their own or simply learning from my code. There isn’t a schematic for the project currently. Drop me a line if you have any questions. about the project.

"This is a rough sketch of an idea based on a demo of the new Moon Modular 501D, 501M and 506 modules. I had spent some time getting the modular bass line 'right' and then had elaborate plans to record many additional parts in my main studio but due to time constraints I finally just recorded everything to my Marantz PMD-661 flash recorder in my bed room and just did one 'take' per instrument/voice.

Thanks for watching!"

More Cwejman BLD

Published on Feb 22, 2014 bigcitymusic·301 videos

"This video demonstrates the Cwejman BLD's chunky square wave and noise generator. The Vermona qMi provides pitch tracking for the BLD and a reset sync for the D-LFO, which is pulse width modulating the BLD's square. The BLD is filtered through a Cwejman DMF-2 with cutoff modulation provided by another Cwejman D-LFO. The beat is provided by a Dave Smith Instruments Tempest."

its not what you think it is!

via this auction

"Rob Papen DOUBLE RED card for Waldorf Microwave 1, the rarest card, fully working, in decent cosmetic condition.

Rob Papen wrote about this card:

The card is called Double Red because of the Multies which are used to combine two sounds. With two Microwaves (two Red knobs) these Multies ad new power to the sound."
