Turing-A-Ding-Dong (modular synth jam)

Published on Apr 4, 2018 Little Bitchard

"Got myself a Turing Machine mk2 with Volts & Pulses expanders a good while back, so here's a long overdue test drive. Also I need to clear the patch and am (once again) saving it this way ;)

The audio on this video is slightly late compared to video and you can see the amount of offset when I patch in the hihats at around 45s (the bright yellow module with blue knob). For some reason my camera rig (iPhone 5) made a mess of the audio and I had to correct it afterwards. Can't be bothered to fix it better, sorry!

Gear-wise it's Turing Machine mk2 & Flame Clockwork running the show, triggering percussion, chord and envelope generators. Few of the trigger outputs are combined through Doepfer A166 logic module eg. to have "relaxed" and "intense" variations for the kick drum.

Percussion sounds are from my modified DSPSynth Drum8 (custom diy Linn Drum soundset), bass from TTSH with melody "sequenced" from Xaoc Batumi (= square wave ;), chords from Qu-Bit Chord with melody sequenced from Volts and quantized with Penrose Quantizer.

Chord audio is split parallel to lowpass filter and spring reverb of TTSH and to lowpass filter (Dtech VCF) and delay effect on iPad (Master FX app). TTSH spring reverb is chained to mono, with left channel feeding to hipass filter (BF22) feeding right channel to bandpass filter (Polivoks VCF 2).

Uhh I guess that covers most of it. Using some CV mixers, attenuators and VCAs of course.

Folktek Conduit

Published on Apr 4, 2018 PaulLawlerMusic

"Early experiment with the Folktek Conduit using a self resonating SMR as the audio source. Additional modulation from Pressure Points, and Clouds. Once I get hold of the Folktek Resist module I should be able to achieve much better results."

Korg POLY 61 SN 704524 w/ MIDI & Custom Black Side Panels

"Very nice, Korg Poly-61 programmable polyphonic synthesizer. This is an early production version, with factory MIDI added.

This synth isn't perfect condition, but everything works as it should and recent maintenance has been completed. Main board and backup battery have been replaced. Original board is included. Keyboard has been completely disassembled and all the contacts cleaned and reconditioned with caicote.

Knobs are showing age, but all the buttons and knobs work as they should. Volume knob is kind of scratchy and may need a little contact cleaner. One key has a slight bend in it, might just need reseated. Only thing I haven't tested is MIDI since I don't have something to trigger it with. The inserts for the screws that hold the main panel to the sides tend to spin, so removing those screws can be a little tricky.

Great sounding 80s synth for that "Stranger Things" sound. Same synth featured in Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters theme song."
