tiergrinder TR-808 Clone

Published on Jul 30, 2013 tiergrinder

"This project started when I build couple of 808 sound circuits about a year ago. I had a 808 kick and snare, and later on I wanted to test if I could design the rest of the sound circuits on veroboard too. At the moment I have all the 808 circuits build, apart maracas and cymbal. I packed all the individual sound boards in a case and got a Midibox Core, DIN and DOUT kits from SmashTV to build a MB808 standalone sequencer to trigger sound circuits."

"Nice Original Retro Synth.

In overall good condition.

The keys are fine, with no dead ones, or any problems that I can find.

The pots are working and all seem to do what they should, with the exception of 2 pots.

These are the noise pot, it works but will need looking at as it is very stiff, and the wave form pot, which again is stiff but works.

Other than that it is in good condition for an older synth."

New Teaser Synth Pic from Waldorf, Moog, Access Interface Designer Axel Hartmann

This one spotted by Soviet Space Child.

Note the Modulation section with three selectable buttons and Speed & Depth knobs.  The next section appears to have an octave pitch switch and semitone knob.  You can see what looks like a pulse with graphic below the orange label to the left of the bottom knob.  The large white knobs is reminiscent of wavetable knobs on Waldorf synths.  If you can make out more, feel free to comment.

You can see a few the designs Axel Hartmann's Design Box was responsible for here.

Rear Window 3

Published on Jul 28, 2015 John L Rice

"I did two videos during the Fall season of 2014 titled "Rear Window" and "Rear Window 2". This video is very similar to the second one where I routed the output of the last effect pedal in the chain into a pair of mixer inputs instead of the mixer's effects return input to allow generating (mostly) controlled feedback.

So all sounds you are hearing in the first part of this video were created by manipulation of feedback resonance/howl in the mixer and the effects pedals and was done as you see it here, a real-time experimentation (with some edits to chop out the less interesting sections).

This video also contains a 'bonus' part two. I had forgotten to press record on the Marantz PMD-661 flash recorder I use to capture audio coming directly out of the mixer and when I was done with this take I was to tired and annoyed to try again. During editing though I listened to it and even though the video camera audio quality wasn't very good, I still kind of liked it. Not really good enough to be a video of it's own but maybe interesting enough to be a bonus track? ;-)

Equipment list in order of connection:
Mackie 802-VLZ3 mixer effects loop output
TC Electronic Hall Of Fame Mini reverb pedal
MXR/Dunlop Octave Fuzz pedal
Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar pedal
TC Electronic Flashback delay pedal
TC Electronic Hall Of Fame reverb pedal
Mackie 802-VLZ3 mixer stereo channel input

Part two adds:
Novation Ultranova keyboard synth (lead/melody noodles)
Korg microStation keyboard synth (ambient rhythm and piano notes)"

Trumpet thru Strymon Big Sky, Moog mf-101 Low pass filter, Moog mf-102 Ring modulator

Published on Oct 8, 2014 Mike Lloyd

"A while ago I was on the lookout for videos demonstrating Strymon Big Sky Reverberator, Moogerfooger mf 101 Low pass Filter & Moogerfooger mf-102 Ring modulator and it was kind of like falling into a bottomless black hole with zillions of clips with nerdy guitar players... :-) If the effect sounds great on guitar there is no guarantee it will sound likewise on a trumpet.. I couldn´t really find any horn players using the effects I was interested in so I thought I´d post this clip if anybody out there is like me and always on the prowl for new sounds.."

Playing trumpet with MoogerFooger mf-101 Low Pass Filter, Strymon Big Sky & Ableton.

Published on Feb 21, 2015 Mike Lloyd

"Recorded/filmed this track while I was practicing my 'electronic setup'. I was playing my trumpet through Strymon Big Sky Reverberator, & MoogerFooger mf-101 Low pass Filter. (with an expression pedal) I used Ableton to record/ create the music. (play in HD for best sound/picture) Hope you like it."
