Jam Session with "Frank Piesik - ElectroCaster" Modular Guitar

Published on Aug 5, 2019

This one is in via Digithalis who overdubbed his computer keyboard controller (see previous posts here), with Frank Piesik's Electro Caster video below. Below that is a playlist featuring demos and the creation of the "Electro Caster".

Guitar & DrumBeats: Frank Piesik

Details on the ElectroCaster:

"Compared to this whole world of electronic sound devices like eurorack-modules, drummashines and all this innovative stuff from big and small companies, the electric guitar market looks a little bit boring.

I play guitar but I also like those new ways of making music and I believe that a guitar could integrate great into an electronic music setup. It just needs a kind of redesign - what's technically possible shoud be done, as long as it stays to be a guitar.

Here is my proposal for an open, modular guitar-synth-design with some nifty features to make modern music."

Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar Repair - Synthchaser #121

Published on Aug 8, 2019 Synth Chaser

"Have look inside and listen to a rare Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar synth as we make a handful of repairs to it. We'll convert it from 220V to 110V operation, change the power cord, correct the power wiring, clean the pots, replace the leaking battery with a safer solution, eliminate hum in the output, replace missing buttons, replace a sketchy connector, and fix some intermittent issue where the synth jumps back to preset #1.

Parts, service and synthesizers available on my website. I buy broken synthesizers!"

LambdaSpeak 3 - Amstrad / Schneider CPC MIDI IN Synthesizer Demo

Published on Aug 7, 2019 Michael Wessel

Demo comes in at 1:18. This is a follow-up to the LambdaSpeak & LambdaDrum for the Amstrad CPC post here.

"Good news - the LambdaSpeak 3 Serial Interface is now versatile and fast enough to support MIDI IN in real time!

The Akai Miniak synthesizer shown in this video is only used as a MIDI controller, and it is the CPC that is actually producing the sound that you hear, NOT the Miniak.

Hence, LambdaSpeak's MIDI IN DIN socket receives MIDI NOTE ON / NOTE OFF messages from the Miniak, and the CPC is running a simple 'CPC MIDI Synthesizer' machine code program that interprets the MIDI messages and turns them into sound, via the internal CPC GI AY-3-8910 soundchip.

Besides this, MIDI OUT also already works with LambdaSpeak 3, and it can even be programmed from BASIC. Regarding MIDI IN, the CPC is fast enough to do the MIDI real time processing as demonstrated in this video with no latency, provided a machine code program is used.

This 'CPC MIDI Synthesizer' machine code program will be extended soon to also process note velocity, pitch bend MIDI controller, as well as 3 channel polyphony and program change messages for changing the sound.

Stay tuned for updates!

I will put the 'CPC MIDI Synthesizer' program on the LambdaSpeak LS300.DSK on the Github page for reference. Please note that you will require the latest LambdaSpeak 3 firmware to run it."

Transposing inside a Scale in VCV Rack

Published on Aug 8, 2019 Omri Cohen

"This is a short video demonstrating the so-called Quantum Trick, which allows us to transpose a sequence to any note and still stay inside a given scale. It's a great little trick to add movement and harmonic variations to your patches. This trick was shared on the official VCV Rack Facebook group by Dieter Stubler - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGwD...

Thank you, Dieter!

Beat Diary 012: Traditional Synthesiser Sounds with Novation Peak and DSI Tempest

Published on Aug 8, 2019 Solaires

"Felt like doing some traditional knob twiddling with a nice arp on a nice synth, with a little beat on the Tempest for good measure.
Peak's reverb is pretty ridiculous hey."

Roland TR-808 8/08 Day 2019 Vintage Drum Machine Jam

Published on Aug 8, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Even if you aren't an electronic music producer you have probably heard about Roland's TR-808 drum machine. Since today is 8/08 we decided to celebrate with this jam on a vintage 808.

This particular 808 is modified adding a few extra controls and making the clap sound especially massive. Check out our signal article which has more info about the famous TR-808 (https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal...).
