"Here we have a small setup consisting of a Mono Lancet ’15 as the sole sound source, a meloDICER with MEX3 as sequencer and ‪@Ableton‬ Live for Loop recordings.
We prepared four tracks in Live to record various synth parts in a live session. We’re setting up all Mono Lancet ’15 sounds on the fly and continuously change parameters on meloDICER for generating different patterns for each track.

All the effects that you hear come directly from Live (delays with a little bit of reverb). The meloDICER is synced through the MEX3 companion module via MIDI clock to Live.

We recommend the use of headphones or good speakers for the full sound experience"

Instruō - cèis [2] Overview

video upload by Instruō

"The Instruō cèis[2] is a fully analogue voltage controlled ADSR envelope generator. The ADSR function generator is the model pioneered by the East-coast mindset and is extensively used in subtractive synthesis patches. The cèis[2] gives the ability to externally control the attack, decay, sustain, and release stages of the envelope while also emitting trigger and gate signals for each segment, offering maximum versatility from a classic tool.
This version [2] revision brings additional flexibility and control through a completely redesigned logic extraction circuit for the segment gates, envelope re-trigger input, and a precision throughput for voltage controlled slew limiter capabilities.

• LED button for manual control and indication of output CV level
• Fader and CV control over all 4 segments
• Gate output per segment
• Fader LED for segment stage indication
• Gate/Trig modes which can force completion of the Attack duration when triggered
• Hold mode for sustain segment lock for CV slew use
• Combined trigger output which fires when there is a change in segment
• Variable envelope response shape from linear to exponential

Metasonix - T1 [Ultra Rare, #2 of 10]

video upload by NOISEBUG

NOISEBUG on Reverb

"The Metasonix T1 is an ultra rare piece. Only 10 in existence. this model is serial number #2 of 10.

This T1 is preowned but in absolutely pristine condition.

Includes:

original PSU, original owner's manual, product box and replacement tubes.

From the Metasonix T1 owner's manual:

The T1 is our FLAGSHIP instrument! Our best/worst! It is an intentionally primitive device, using late 1950s technology for the entire signal path. Do not expect it to sound or behave like a Moooooog! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a copycat machine trying to sound like a Mooooooooooooooog! Do not furiously twist the knobs in search of the 1980s DX7 tone. F*** you and f*** the 1980s! Oh, and PS: there are no presets!

So, let's put it in terms even a musician might possibly absorb.

Think of the T1 as a primitive box containing 3 screaming children, being punched in the face to the rhythm of the internal sequencer or user supplied (this means you!) control-voltage source. These screaming voices are generated by the thyratron VCOs that are staring at you right now (you do like to read the manual while you have the unit in front of you, right?) The VCOs are modified RK7 modules, okay?

The knobs control the amount of strangle of the screaming voice. Turn them to the right for higher pitched screaming, and turn to the left for a tighter strangle and more choking. They go thru a mixer/mangler similar to the RK3 module, thence thru a bandpass filter similar to the RK4, then to a lowpass filter/LPG similar to the RK6. Finally there is a pentode VCA on the output, and one envelope generator to control either it or the LPG, selectable by the toggle switch between the LPG and envelope. There is only ONE envelope on this bastard thing, because it’s supposed to be as primitive as possible. If you want to sweep the filter or suchlike, or you want an 'LFO' thing, use the sequencer to do it. Or use external control-voltage sources. There were no such things as “envelope generators” or “LFOs” in the 1950s.
