Cut Off

"How to patch a filter so that it has extra resonance. In this case its a vintage Buchla 100 series Model 191 which has zero resonance in normal use. But like so much with the 100 series, a simple patch-around solution is available. Just send the filter output back in on itself with a mixer, blending the input signal and filter output to get resonance galore. The mixer is used BEFORE the input to the filter, in other words, the mixer used to combine the dry signal with the filtered signal and send it back in on itself. Look at the diagram in the video.

Behringer CRAVE Does Acid!


Published on Feb 11, 2019 mootbooxle

"When I was playing with the Crave the other day, I heard some tones that made me think, 'I wonder how 303-eqsue I can make it sound?' Just add distortion (this is an EHX Big Muff w/Tone Wicker) and it’s ACID TIME. You have to imagine the crazy patterns because that ain’t really my genre. But it’s fun, and I just put out a vinyl record of it!

The sound is then going through the Strymon El Capistan delay for some 'space', then straight into the Roland Go:Mixer Pro which is connected to iPhone X which shot this video."

Laurie Anderson - Optigan / Panoptigon 2010 One-Off Disc Demo


Published on Feb 11, 2019 optigandotcom

"This is a historical oddity that was never intended for public consumption, but in honor of Laurie Anderson's Grammy Award for LANDFALL (which prominently features Robert Becker's heavily modified "Optigan Pro"), we thought it'd be fun to share this and get in a quick Panoptigon demo at the same time (http://optigan.com/2019/01/panoptigon...). When we lent Laurie the Optigan, we thought it'd be fun to put some of her own sounds on a one-off disc for her to mess around with. We pulled drums & musical loops for the chord buttons, and short spoken phrases for the keyboard. This demo is just some spontaneous noodling, which was recorded in multiple MIDI passes and then dumped live to audio. The video was shot during the actual audio recording, so you can see the disc speed up, slow down, and go into reverse in time with the audio. Maybe not Grammy material (OK, decidedly not!), but a geeky curiosity nonetheless! Congrats, Laurie & Kronos!"

"If you own a CS80 and you don't have this document you are incomplete."

Description for the Manual:

"Here is a rarity.. The original manual for the iconic Yamaha CS80 Polyphonic synthesizer dated February 1977. This would have been the manual shipped with the very first units.

I got this with my CS80 in 2001 and recently came across it in a pile of documents I will be listing for sale over the next week. I've seen the 1980 manual online but this is the only one of these I've seen in 20 years of obsessing over these instruments. It's in ok shape, its a 42 year old document and shows some age as you can see in the photos. I have kept it flat, wrapped in a mylar magazine bag to preserve it as best i can. It's 20 pages cover to cover, it has some stains, a rip and isn't perfect but is what it is."

Description for the Brochure:

"Although not as obscure the 1977 owners manual, this document is rarely seen, particularly in this condition. I've seen lesser quality copies of this fetch document my asking price on ebay over the years. Dates to June 1977 (7726)

I got this with my CS80 in 2001 and recently came across it in a pile of documents I will be listing for sale over the next week. It's in ok shape, its a 42 year old document and shows some age as you can see in the photos. I have kept it flat, wrapped in a mylar magazine bag to preserve it as best i can. It's 8 pages cover to cover. 1 tear at the bottom through all pages. 3 ring binder holes. Full colour, suitable for framing."

Looks like your standard preset toy synth, but this one appears to have a headphone with mic, and a mini DJ style jog wheel like the Roland DJ-70. Could make for some interesting circuit bending fun.

"STEREO FIELD is one instrument with three uses. It is simultaneously a stereo/quad modular touch plate feedback atonal synthesizer, a stereo/quad audio processor and a pressure sensitive chaotic CV "controller". All three uses are available separately as well as simultaneously and in conversation with each other. The Stereo Field allows its user to manipulate and patch two analog stereo preamp circuits via touch plates. By utilizing skin conductivity as new paths for current to follow you are creating "new circuits" and new sounds in relation to where your fingers are patching. The individual touch plates are directly connected to nearly every connection point of every component in its circuitry (located directly under each corresponding touch plate). When touched with multiple fingers it will create atonal analog feedback with either of the two mirrored circuits represented by interlocking touch-plate circles."
