Hordijk Rungler part 1

Published on Jan 10, 2016 Todd Barton

"This begins a multi-part walk through of the Rob Hordijk Rungler. The most eloquent overview is by Rob himself here: [5th video here] I'm merely offering a free-flowing exploration of only two or three functions at per episode.
This module is the Swiss Army Knife of random/stable audio and CV outputs! This part focuses on Pulsed output both in the LFO and Audio ranges of A Sine Out and B Triangle Out. As you will see and hear just these two functions offer random and patterned pulses/triggers, quasi waveshaping, various forms of noise et al.

Streichfett string synth - first tests with Sequetron

Published on Jan 10, 2016 Phil Tipping

"New toy from Santa (aka Liz) so first dabbles with Waldorf streichfett string synthesizer driven by Sequetron with a Korg microKORG as a MIDI source. Streichfett can be configured to split strings & solo sections across 2 adjacent MIDI channels so Sequetron channel switching used to record/loop/play each section as reqd.
This is not an in-depth demo of streichfett, but very impressed with limited use so far - both sections can play chords so no note-stealing when sequencing. Simple but clever user interface - no menus :) - with morphing controls encouraging you to twiddle; sounds are richer and have more bass than expected. Headphones or good speakers recommended, although my YouTube playback doesn't do it justice for some reason - maybe my low-res download speed?
MicroKORG only used as a MIDI keyboard, so tried a simple ledge resting across it to hold the screen & streichfett. Not very ergonomic unless you leant over it, so made a sloping version for later shots.

In this video, Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller.
It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught."
