You can use metronome as a master clock for your track :D"

Arturia Minibrute SE, Moog Micromoog & Minitaur

Published on Feb 11, 2015 DreamsOfWires

"This is a rough re-recording of something I uploaded 4 years ago, but then removed because I wasn't happy with it. I'm not completely happy with this version either, but I thought I'd share it for now at least. The bass part is mostly the Minitaur, with the Micromoog repeating it towards the end. The melodic pattern is one track of the Minibrute, using the noise slider to mimic the sound effects from the Micromoog that were overdubbed onto the original recording. The last 2 solo parts were overdubbed using the Micromoog, but the rest was recorded live in one take, as you can see in the video, and the layout of parts and sound changes largely improvised. It was recorded onto a Zoom R24, then imported into Reaper (DAW), and roughly mixed through an old Lexicon reverb plugin. I don't do 'finesse'.

The birds featured are a Kestrel and a Buzzard, filmed on a windy day. Cameras used were a Panasonic GX7 and GH2."

EMS Sequencer 256 & VC3S in 1978 Film "The Shout

The sound alchemist (from "The Shout" by Jerzy Skolimowski, 1978)

Uploaded on Oct 5, 2011 freakedeliqueful - EMS at 1:01, Roland RE-301 through 3:01 (how coincidental) :).

@frozenreeds sent in the pics with the following.

"John Hurt indulging in some really nice vintage synth/concrète action in Jerzy Skolimowski's 'The Shout'."

The EMS Sequencer 256 used in the film went up for auction back in May of 2011 here. The film and EMS sighting was first mentioned in this post back in 2006. I did a quick search on YouTube and managed to find the video above.

EMS Sequencer 256 left.

Pin matrix for the EMS VC3S aka "The Putney", angled tabletop version of the SYNTHI, below.

Awesome bit of sound design in this portion of the film. I'm curious how much was recorded during the scene vs. afterwards.

The film is available on Amazon.

Really Nice Audio - RNA Replicator, dualHMVCO1a & CV Mixers Eurorack Modules

The RNA Replicator - x8 CV Buffer Eurorack Module

Published on Feb 10, 2015

"Replicating the Replicator"

It looks like we have a new modular DIY maker. Really Nice Audio or RNA for short currently has three modules listed on their site, the replicator x8 CV Buffer (video above), the dualHMVCO1a VCO, and CV Mixers based on an adaptation of Ray Wilson's MFOS design. Details on each captured for the archives below. They also do DIY synth mods and repair including work on the Yamaha DX-7, Korg Poly-61, Korg Monotribe, Oberheim DMX, and OSCar.

the replicator

"This versatile CV Buffer features 8 buffered outputs as well as 2 buffered inverted outputs.

The toggle switch inverts the voltage to the bottom 4 outputs.
2 bi-polar LEDs show the voltage polarity for each bank of 4 outputs.

It can also be used as a 2 x 4 channel buffer as inserting a signal into the IN2 socket overrides the bottom 4 outputs.

Comes with eurorack ribbon power cable and 2x 3mm screws."

dualHMVCO1a

"With 2 boards I claim 4 oscillators!!"

CV Mixers

"This CV Mixer system is an adaptation of Ray Wilson’s design found in his Multi-Function module from the essential MFOS website. I wanted to make a modular design with minimal wiring. All pots are soldered to the PCB whilst the sockets connect to a 5 pin single row IDC. This way you can use ‘each side’ of a 10 pin IDC to connect 2 mixers at a time to your socket panel. I made a socket panel which has 2 x 10 pin IDC connectors so 4 mixers can be connected. Built into my socket panel is a Common Input which buffers this signal each of the 4 CV 1 inputs. Inserting a plug into a CV1 input socket breaks the buffered signal.

This system I built for my 4x HMVCO1a so I have wired each mixer output to its corresponding oscillator via the ‘normalled’ pin each CV input socket.

Each CV Mixer gives you :

A coarse voltage bias

A fine voltage bias

3x CV inputs with attenuators

A bi-polar LED indicator showing polarity of voltage"
