Bruxa is an Angel | Shared System X Ep. 07 | Resynthesizer + Bruxa

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Bruxa is basically isolated time/filter experiment from Strega. I pre-ordered it in the blind without giving it a second thought, because I love my MakeNoise collection. If they'd make a new mult I'd get it too. But there's something special about Bruxa when it's added to an ecosystem like the Resynthesizer layout.

In this patch, I play the case almost completely manually, by starting 'events' with PrssPnt. It picks a new note for Spectraphon VCO A (a high pitched Red mode sound going to DXG, where the volume (CTRL) is modulated by WoggleBug's smooth output. VCO B is a very rich voice from the Green mode that seems to have a high and low frequency component and a certain unstability at modest levels. It almost sounds like a Tenor vocalist.

I am using Mimeophon in Zone 7 (zone fully CW) which I call 'The Long Repeat' because it's repeating almost a minute of buffered audio. But the real magic happened when I used Bruxa to 'smear' the unstable VCO B - the Tenor vocalist. I got an amazing angelic choir. I've heard this amazing 'smear' on other channels too so it's not unique to this case, it's Bruxa doing her magic.
I am sure it will sound even better with your own filters, utilities and FX chains.

I am taking it slow with this patch, with manual events and no sequencing. However, PrssPnt picks a new note on Rene's X channel for VCO A every time it's touched. VCO B gets pitch from Rene's Y channel, but I simply use the selected stage knob to pick a new note in the scale. When I touch PrssPnt, it opens up DXG to make the 'vocalist' appear.

I am aware the Resynthesizer is an exclusive layout and it will not be on everyone's desk. This video gives a cool impression of what a Spectraphon, a Bruxa and a Mimeophon can do for your drone music. You can always sculpt the sound with a filter, LPG or VCA from any brand."

4 jams with the Arturia MiniFreak

video upload by Stazma

"It's been a while I'm sitting on this video and decided to upload it today for no special reason.
I had a lot of fun playing around with the Minifreak that the guys at Arturia kindly sent me when I was asked to do some teaching sessions with it early this year.
Each jam is using another synth / machine to play along or sequence it."

Arpeggio on the 208 / Buchla Easel Sequencer Aux Expander Card

video upload by Roland Klinkenberg

"Mail me at rklinkenberg(at)gmail(dot)com for more info on the card."

"Card is back in stock and I made some small improvements:

- New PCB layout, easier to assemble.
- Trimmers for the 1,2V/oct adjustment (portamento) are reachable from the side. No need to take of the frontpanel anymore.
- Sequencer can be triggered by the LFO. This was already possible on the old card by moving a jumper. But now it's a switch position on the frontpanel.
- Envelope generator can be triggered by the LFO.
- Sync input Sync the 208's pulser to an external sync source
- Limited Purple edition ;-)

EDIT: everyone who's interested can email me at rklinkenberg(at)gmail(dot)com stating Buchla Aux Card in the description.
Price for a pre build unit is 400 euro ex vat(if applicable)

Here a description of the functions of the card.This is the new card (4 layer pcb with mostly SMD components)

- 8-step sequencer, clocked by either the pulser or the 208 sequencer’s switches. A switch for selecting 1 alternative step length (for example 7 step)
- LFO, 0.02Hz into audio range, with frequency CV input
- Portamento, on the CO or on both the CO and the MO.
- Envelope generator with ADSR, looped, and LFO modes, plus level control and decay time CV in
- And then some....see manual."
