nonlinearcircuits Cellular Automata 1

Published on Jul 14, 2019 cirtcele

"NLC Cellular Automata module demo. It can be used as a CV pattern and gate generator. There is little control over the patterns other than feeding signals into the 4 seed inputs"

via nonlinearcircuits

"This is a 16 cell gate and pattern generator using cellular automata rules 90 & 150. It will run thru a process driven by a clock signal and requires a signal on one of the seed inputs (anything crossing 1V) to start a new process or alter the current one.
A process without seeds may run for hours or minutes, depending upon the start point and clock rate.

There are 3 CV outputs, two based on what is happening on each half of the circuit, one reflects the pattern created by the active cells. Each cell has a gate output.

The circuit uses CMOS chips and op amps, no microprocessors. It is a big build!

PCB set = USD25
panel = USD23

assembled = USD280"

Synth Rorschach #66: Lauri Glocke and the Apollo 11 Moon Landing

This one is in via long time MATRIXSYNTH reader loscha, spotted it in this article: "How the Apollo 11 Moon landing was achieved with the vital help of Carnarvon Tracking Station"

"PHOTO: Lauri Glocke went from working as a waitress to an equipment operator at the base. (Supplied: Lauri Glocke)"

And: "For Lauri Glocke, who was aged just 15 when the Carnarvon base opened, it provided an extraordinary opportunity."


Reminds me of the recently posted stacked EMS Rehberg Analyse-Filterbank B1-IIs, but with knobs instead of sliders.  The bottom section also reminds me of a white Crumar Bit 01 rack synth.

Also lots of added in/outputs to interact with your other analog and modular gear...

Mods include:
Custom Black case
Gate / Slide / Accent LEDs
Rear CV inputs: Gate in, CV in, Filter CV in, Accent in, and Slide in

Moog Etherwave PLUS Theremin | With CV Synth Control

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The "PLUS" adds external CV pitch and volume 1/4" outputs located on the bottom of the instrument. You can use this feature to great effect to control external MOOG synths as well as anything else that takes a CV input.

Includes everything from the original packaging including the sealed Clara Rockmore DVD and the small red etherwave internal calibration tool.

The original box is also included but unfortunately it was used to pack and ship the unit by the original seller, so it is in less than perfect condition. The instrument itself however looks and plays great and has been fully tested. You will have a lot of fun with this, especially if you have some external gear to control with it."

EMS Rehberg Analyse-Filterbank B1-II pair with matched serial numbers

Another one in via M Me. I believe these are the first to be featured on the site. Anyone know when they were produced? I'm not finding them on the EMS Rehberg site.

"EMS Rehberg Analyse-Filterbank B1-II pair (2) available for sale! These units are ultra rare and it’s probably the only chance to find two with matched serial numbers. Both units are just been serviced and in perfect working condition.

The building quality is impressive with those long Penny & Giles faders, Pikatron and Haufe transformers and the Reticon filter chips inside. This are high-end studio effects with a phenomenal sound...

Both units are working on 220v and the serial numbers are: 223 & 224."

ProNote 6 - Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Inspired Memo Book

via this auction

This one spotted and sent in via M Me.

Google translated from the listing:

"It's a 6-hole Bibble-size ProNote 6 note from Synth Design.
I imagined Sequential Circuits Prophet - 5.
I followed an analog synthesizer feeling with wood in the body.
As an indication Side-Wood is also installed unconventionally.
We strongly protect important notes.
Wood uses agathi wood, which is also used for musical instruments.
It is a heavy feeling in appearance, but it is a light and fine material.
The notes are the size of the general Bible.
It is based on the twisted-ring notebook from LIHIT LAB.
Twisted note can be removed freely.
You can customize it to your favorite note by combining diaries and grid paper.
Everything is easy to write as it can be rotated 360 ° per cover sheet."

X1L3 - SHARD + NUX TIME CORE - power electronics and harsh noise

Published on Jul 14, 2019 X1L3

"Tenty minute improvised session on a desk top shard through a nux time core delay pedal."

Reminds me of Merzbow, a friend of mine introduced me to. The X1L3 Shard in eurorack has been featured in previous posts here.

X1L3 - SHARD - outside with wireless guitar hook up + battery amp

via X1L3

"Noise, drone and artefact generator. Available in yellow or black. Identical to the eurorack version but with the advantage of more immediacy through more hands on control.

It's capable of generating a huge range of sounds. Drone, data crash glitching, atmospheric deprivation and all manner of unpleasant or quirky sounds. It has a lot of cv/gate control available for automation of oscillator behaviour and also houses a touch interface for disruption of the oscillators. On top of this it also has an audio input which can be used to devastating effect on incoming audio as well as another means of oscillator disruption. It demands that you mess with it. It thrives on it.

Paired up with fx in the chain it can generate some impressive textures. A resonant filter, distortion and delay pedal capable of infinite repeats in line generate some fantastic dark power electronics and atmospheres. If you're familiar with navicon torture technologies or theologian then you'll have a good idea of what to expect there. It's also great for creating incidentals and obscure sounds that you might use as samples or as a layer in film score."
