Giro | All Italian synth and pedal jam

HAINBACH

"I don't know if it is just my perception, but I feel in the recent years Italy has become a hotbed of pedal and synth creation. Since I have been send a few outstanding instruments from that beautiful country I thought I would try and bring them all together.

The main rhythm comes from the circuit bent Bontempi System 5 606 [below], which is crushed by the AC Noises AMA reverb/bitcrusher. The Liquid Foam [posted here] synth gets the audio from the AT 606 into its clock in, and acts as an automatic bassline because of that. Hypnotic echoes from the Mastro Valvola add to its spaced out tone, and at some point I switch on the Splinter from Chirality Audio for fuzzyness. The Chirality Audio prototype patchbay "Mesh" routes all audio to where it belongs, finally into the Fostex X28H four track. There the orchestral pads come from, which are recorded from the Bontempi onto a tape loop and played back at half-speed. All recorded with no overdubs into Live as a stereo track."

The Idea Machine - Circuit Bent Bontempi System 5


"I have enjoyed the sound of circuit bent instruments for a long time - there is something special in modded toy instruments. From primitive or rather innocent circuits and sounds comes a strange madness. The Bontempi AT 606 bent by Joris Biesmanns holds a special place in my heart - I once wrote a complete 12 track soundtrack based on it in five days. "

WFM oscillator -LA67 & Rebach VCO-A,VCF-A,ADSR-A

Dziam Bass

"Hello all.
today I patched WFM oscillator from LA67 and Rebach VCO-A, VCF-A ADSR. I added a traingle wave to FM IN in WFM and pulse waves from WFM to PWM IN in VCO rebach.
as you can see nice nice analog sound when i open more and close the filter.
This is a nice combination for me because the WFM is based on the old 1970 KOBOL oscillator and the rebate VCO based on the AS3340 so it gives a great character,
I tried to subtly add FM and open the filter for a musically working sound."

Interesting look at the buttons under the membrane panel.

"Although the switches have not been cleaned, the board is in overall working condition, with both the coil and vacuum display working, this should fix an 8P that's not lighting up, but otherwise working."

"I bought this unit only recently to integrate with my Moog semi-modular setup, mostly as an additional voice to integrate with Mother 32. Its a fantastic box all by itself, and honestly i think it is probably superior to the Mother in many ways (i like the flexibility of the voice way more than the Moog, esp its FM capabilities) but i am finding it mostly overlaps too much with other things i already have.

*again, 1 detail about this unit worth flagging is that the right wood side panel is a bit wiggly. Apparently, this is a common problem with these boxes, and can be fixed, but i haven't had it long enough to bother. It is not an issue if its just sitting on a desktop, in which case it is rock-solid and unnoticeable. Just FYI."
