HungryThumb is a Eurorack adaptation of a compressor named Engineer's Thumb, typically built as a guitar effect pedal. Juanito built an Engineer's Thumb early in the tin can synth journey, naively replicating the 9V core of the circuit, and then didn't really know what to do with it.

Until they put an 808 kick drum through it. As a kick drum processor, this compressor shines brightly, especially when the Starve settings reduces the core circuitry voltage to 9V and lower. You can get even the purest 808-style kick drum signal, which will be mostly a sine wave, to crunch, clip, gate, fizz and fold. Do you need hardstyle kicks in your modular? This can get you there.

The Engineer's Thumb this circuit is based on uses an LM13700 OTA chip as the adjustable gain portion. These chips are a bit noisy, so an innovation of Engineer's Thumb was to put the gain section in an op amp inverting feedback loop, meaning while the compressor is set to its highest gain, the OTA is set to its lowest gain, and will theoretically be creating less noise. The theory checks out, but I'm not sure how much we Eurorack people care about noise floor.

Is This A Solo Songwriters' Dream Machine? - Thingstone TRACK8 // NO TALK Demo With Deluge


video upload by Ron Cavagnaro

excerpt of Don Buchla's arrangement of Terry Riley InC as implemented by Joel Davel in 1993


video upload by Joel Davel

"This was an element of my first project with Don Buchla. The graphics and MIDI sequencing was programmed in HMSL-Forth. (Heirarchical Music Specification Language) and J-Forth that controlled two graphic sprites on an Amiga 3000 computer. The sprites act like two computer mouses, but they are controlled by two independent Buchla Lightning wands. This was installed at the Exploratorium Museum in San Francisco in 1993-1994 for two participants to drag instruments onto the phrases as they appear."

Seventies Synth Songs on the Novation Peak (with free soundbank)


video upload by TheGuacamoleXplosion

"Partial covers of synth-focused tracks from each year of the 1970s on the Novation Peak. No talking.

All synth sounds (including most electronic drum sounds) in this video are pure Novation Peak: Presets created from scratch, recorded directly through RME audio interfaces into Cubase, with no track effects added to any of the Peak tracks, not even EQ or panning (only exceptions: on Autobahn, the cluster Vocoder is two tracks hard-panned in the DAW; and the bass on the final part has a bit of treble shelved off with the Cubase stock EQ).

The soundbank for the Novation Peak (should also be compatible with the Novation Summit) as well as the individual sounds and the 1 User Wavetable I used in the “AnimAutobahn” faux vocoder patches can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

00:00 - Intro: Autobahn, Part C
02:57 - 1970: Emerson, Lake & Palmer — Lucky Man
04:22 - 1971: The Who — Won’t Get Fooled Again
05:17 - 1972: Hot Butter — Popcorn
06:52 - 1973: Pink Floyd — Any Colour You Like
08:13 - 1973: Pink Floyd — On The Run
