video by Erica Synths

"Erica Synths Black Joystick2 is 4 channel multi functional CV and sound source – joystick, movement recorder, distinct LFO and drone/noise oscillator. It provides great interaction with the modular system and allows to develop unconventional modulation patterns easily.

Timeline:

00:00​ Patch 1 - Ripper bass - Joystick CH1 set to audio rate sine modulating the Stereo Delay from CH2 which is also set to work as audio rate sine

00:33​ Patch 2 - Much Techno - Controlling the Cymbals Ride tune & decay with Joystick CH1, Crash decay with CH2 and BHDSP 2 rate and fx parameter with CH3

01:46​ Patch 3 - Wave Surfer - Controlling Graphic VCO wavetable matrix with Joysticks CH1, delay time, dry/wet mix and feedback with CH2 to CH4

02:55​ Patch 4 - Slice Master - Controlling Sample Drum slice index, sample select and sample tune with X axis of first three Joystick channels

04:53​ Patch 5 - Bleep Bloop - Joystick in audio rate mode through the Stereo Delay which delay time parameters is also modulated with the Joystick

05:16​ Patch 6 - Drone Zone - Droning with Black VCO, LPG and Stereo Delay. Joystick is controlling VCO FM & PWM, LPG offset and delay time

06:26​ Patch 7 - Wave Drummer - Graphic VCO in Drum and Black Stereo Delay are triggered and controlled with Joystick in S&H mode

08:15​ Patch 8 - S&H Everything! - Pico Drums, Pico Drums 2 and BHDSP 2 are controlled and triggered with Joystick in S&H mode

09:21​ Patch 9 - Sine drone - First three channels of the Joystick are used as audio sources and CH4 is used to control the BHDSP2 crush setting"

"get Temporarium Secretarium here: https://ylvatrax.bandcamp.com/album/lyv
the digitone is my favourite drummachine so i made 'Temporarium Secretarium' , a max for live device that generates drum patches for the digitone. drop the device on a midi track, select the voice type you want to generate and send it to the appropriate midi channel."

"1970's ARP Odyssey II (Model 2810) - Serial Number: 061

Odyssey Mark II's were produced between 1975 and 1978. They are largely similar to Mark I's; the main differences are the use of the black and gold color scheme and the inclusion of CV/gate in all models. This particular model features the infamous ARP 4035 "Moog Lawsuit" filter and sounds absolutely incredible.

Has to be one of the cleaner units we've seen, a few keys are slightly discolored and one trim pot cap is missing (does not affect functionality, see last photo).

This Odyssey was just gone through by our in-house technician:

-Disassembled and cleaned all sliders
-Cleaned all control panel controls
-Removed buss bar and cleaned bars and contact fingers
-Replaced all electrolytic capacitors
-Replaced (4) bipolar junction transistors in power supply voltage regulator circuit
-tuned and calibrated"

"Synth 1: ( with the Washburn sticker on the front) I built this myself from the kit and gigged and recorded with it extensively hence it shows plenty of signs of wear on the woodwork in particular. The only problem it ever had was that the bucket brigade noise chip would fail and need replacing from time to time. This seems to be a design weakness with the original chip, there may be a better chip nowadays that could be used instead. The whole synth was working perfectly when I put it away into storage a few years ago.

Synth 2: Was built by my good friend Paul Phippin, a sound engineer for the BBC at the time. He was more engineer than musician so stripped all the 741 chips from it for other projects he worked on over the years, these are very cheap to replace ( about 31p each from RS components ) but consequently this synth definitely does not work but on the up side it has been stored in its original shipping box so the case and wood work is in much better condition.

It is possible to trigger one synth from the other ( or via a 1v / octave sequencer ) which opens up a world of possibilties to make some really phat sounds."
