Tiptop Bat filter and Dragonfly Delay ambiant patch
Published on Apr 22, 2015 Tiptop .Audio
"Circadian Rhythms plays all the sounds, Z3000 and Cwajmen MMF doing high pitch note, Tiptop drums mixed through Z-DSP running Bat Filter and another Z-DSP running Stereo delay."

LittleBits + Koushion + Ableton
Published on Apr 22, 2015 experimentalsynth
Three videos by www.experimentalsynth.com
"Connecting LittleBits to the larger world of audio gear generated some surprisingly musical results. With an external sequencer like Koushion driving it, you have both hands free for knobs and switches. With some creative patching and a little extra gear, it was easy to make a highly synchronized music production environment.
Ableton provided the master MIDI clock for the Koushion step sequencer app (connected to the iMac by an iConnectMIDI2+). This gave a quick interactive composition user interface, and the trigger from the LittleBits MIDI Module was used to clock the Micro Sequencer Module controlling the Filter Module’s cutoff frequency.
The LittleBits system is the only audio source in this video. Its audio output was run into Ableton for effects processing. Since Ableton’s tempo-based effects were synced to the same clock as Koushion and the LittleBits Micro Sequencer, complex, yet cohesive sounds are easy to create, and sound great.

LittleBits + DSI Pro 2 :: CV Applications
Published on Apr 22, 2015
"The LittleBits CV Module’s Control Voltage input and output allows LittleBits systems to modulate and be modulated by a world of electronic music equipment. Everything from large modular synthesizers to new small analog synths, even some effects pedals are fair game.
In these examples a Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2 is used. The Pro 2 is a Control Voltage powerhouse, with four assignable CV ins and outs (8 total) making it the perfect test rig to push the LittleBits farther into modular synth territory."
LittleBits + Moog Voyager + CP-251 :: CV Applications
Published on Apr 22, 2015
"Combine a LittleBits Micro Sequencer, CV and Power module and you have a fun, low cost CV Step Sequencer. It can be used with LittleBits equipment, or can enhance other CV synth systems. Here are a few examples of the possibilities when used with a Moog voyager and CP-251 Control Voltage Processor."

Macumbista Benjolin Circuit-Bent Noise Synthesizer Rob Hordijk Design

via this auction
"The Benjolin is a standalone synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk from the Netherlands. It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a voltage controlled filter and a circuit called a “Rungler”, which allows chaotic cross-modulation possibilities between the different parts of the circuit. Hordijk refers to the Benjolin as a circuit which has been “bent by design.”
These hand-made Macumbista Benjolins have been further customized with a patchbay, which can be used to interface with other modular synthesizers or to setup further control voltage feedback systems within the Benjolin itself, attenuators on the three control voltage input and LEDs displaying the internal state of the Rungler. This particular Benjolin has BLUE CV/audio output banana jacks and YELLOW CV input banana jacks. The BLACK banana jack is wired through the volume knob to a 6.33mm (1/4") Neutrik output jack on the back.
You can watch a short demo of two of these Benjolins in action here: http://vimeo.com/70111383 [posted here]
The patchbay of these Benjolins has banana jack connections for the square and triangle waveforms of each of the two oscillators, the Pulse Width Modulation output of the two oscillators, the Rungler output, the XOR (exclusive/or) logic operation of the two oscillators and the output of the filter.
There are also banana jack control voltage inputs with attenuators for the frequency of each of the two oscillators and the filter cutoff frequency. The layout of the panel is designed to be both intuitive and playable (unlike many EuroRack modules, for example…). And finally, the three output bits of the Rungler have been visualized with red, green and blue LEDs.
All Benjolins use a Neutrik 6.3mm (1/4″) output jack, an additional GROUND banana jack to interface with other modular systems and a 12 VAC “wall wart” power supply (mainland European and North American versions available).
I have been personally producing these hand-crafted Benjolins for the last two years under licensed agreement with Rob Hordijk. You can see more about them on my website.
You can find more detailed information about the Benjolin, and about the Rungler function in particular, here."

Musique dans l'ère numérique from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.
"In this video the Altair 8800 is used as a generator and controller.
The RAM is dumped out to the serial port with the aid of an assembly (player) program loaded into pROM.
The data comes out at 9600 Baud N81and it is interpreted by 8 oscillators that set their frequency accordingly.
The sense switches OR the data so note can be shifted and set at different intervals.
Sound programming on MaxMSP, Altair Programming with WS editor and ASM assembler.
The data in RAM can be recorded using an handy converter for Max, let be degraded by turning off/on the computer, or play back the true random junk that pop ups in RAM whenever the Altair is turned on.
Interesting whole tone nuances in some points."

"Roland MC-505 Groovebox Circuit Bent with Blue LED's!!
100% NO TALKING!!! Just pure Roland MC-505!!
The FANTASTIC Roland MC-505 Groovebox at play! This one has been Circuit Bent and Modified by the world famous glitchscience!!!! Check him out on Ebay, that's where I found him, he is serious about gear and tweaking it, so hit him up for any cool mod's on your MC-505! Especially if your LCD on your MC-505 is bad, he can get you a few in different colors! These are just a few of the Psy Trance preset patterns & functions. Sorry, no bending here, just a quick demo of this unit showing off it's Retro-Futuristic dance sound!
Recorded with no effects into Ableton Live 9
Thank you for watching!"
Roland Juno-60 with Case & MD-8 MIDI/DCB Interface
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The keyboard is in great condition, has been used in my studio for the last 10 years. All the pots and faders are in full working order and crackle free. It was serviced about a year ago and had the internal memory battery replaced. There are a couple of minor cosmetic scratches and dinks which I have shown in the photos but otherwise it's in perfect condition.
The standard unit does not have MIDI connectors but uses DCB as its control protocol. I am also including my Roland MD-8 MIDI/DCB interface - this means that you can control it with MIDI or use it to control other MIDI devices. It's an invaluable box as it makes the Juno-60 completely MIDI compatible! The MD-8 is in full working order but does have some cosmetic damage, again shown in the photos. It's damage because I made a couple of holes in the side to mount it in a rack. Comes with a 1M DCB cable to connect the MD-8 to the Juno-60."

"The first few seconds of this track is the live sample of some random stuff from a Malekko Megawave. What follows is live knob twiddling of both the Phonogene and Borg II filter."
New Critter & Guitari Septavox for Third Man Records
Published on Apr 10, 2015 OfficialTMR
"Critter & Guitari are makers of amazingly enjoyable audio machines. We have long been enamored with their Pocket Piano, so when the opportunity arose to have our very own Critter & Guitari instrument, we leapt at the chance. In the world now exists an instrument and amplifier designed specifically for Third Man Records - a 3-octave keyboard synthesizer "Septavox" and a 3-knobbed "Terz" Amplifier, both made in the U.S.A. The sounds and tones of the instruments were selected specifically for us, and of course, they come in black and yellow. These are not only instruments of enjoyment, these are instruments for professionals as well. Critter & Guitari designs its products with the notion in mind that they should please anyone of any age and any musical skill level, and the Septavox and Terz are no exception. We will have a Critter & Guitari demonstration table set up at Record Store Day, April 18th 2015 with their resident wizards ready and waiting to show you the instruments in all their glory."
"The Septavox synthesizer, designed specifically for Third Man Records, has 41 keys, 7 modes, 7 tones. One button selects the synth mode, and one button selects the tone.
