Doepfer A-197 - Analog Meter

via this auction

"Colletors item - no longer available

This module serves to display DC or AC voltages by means of an illuminated moving coil meter with mirror scale. The display range is 0...+10V (resp. -5V...+5V in the offset mode). The module features 3 different measuring methods that are selected by a toggle switch:

✔ Full Wave Rectifier: This mode is normally used to display audio signals resp. AC voltages. The incoming signal is rectified and smoothed with a low pass filter. Even DC voltages can be measured in this mode. The display shows however the absolute value (i.e. positive voltages remain unchanged, negative voltages - e.g. -3V - are converted into the corresponding positive voltages - e.g. +3V). To distinguish between positive and negative input signals a LED is available that lights up in case of a negative signal.

✔ Direct Mode: In this mode the incoming voltage is lead to the meter without additional electronic modification. This mode is planned to display positive DC voltages, e.g. ADSR (A-140/141/A142), MIDI-to-CV (A-190/191), positive random voltages (A-149-1), foot controller (A-177), Gate/Clock signals.

✔ Offset Mode: In this mode +5V are added to incoming voltage before it reaches the meter. Zero volt input correspond to the middle position of the display needle (i.e. +5V read out). This mode can be used to display positive and negative voltages, e.g. a slowly swinging LFO (A-145/146/147), S&H (A-148), bipolar random voltages (A-118), joy stick (A-174), Theremin (A-178), light controlled CV source (A-179).
The measuring input is available as a triple multiple so that the signal to be measured can be used in the system simultaneously. A LED is used as an indicator for negative voltages."

Lets get LoFi 8 - Prosound Modded GBC + Pocket Music

YouTube via ChrisLody | October 31, 2010

"This is a bit of a departure from my normal Lofi videos but i just finished modding a gamboy color so i thought i'd do a video of it.

The mod to the gameboy color is a prosound mod which adds an extra output. At the start of the video i use the normal headphone jack to show the difference in level. My GBC had a blow speaker so i installed an extra jack in place of it. There is still some noise but that just appears to be part of the sound of Pocket Music as i also tried the music software built into the gameboy camera and that sounded nice and clean. In the past i've also used Imageline's Edison to remove noise from signals like this.

The software is Pocket Music. I created this track 'Z80' years ago but i still realy like it. Pocket Music is nice and simple to use but can still produce some cool sounds. Its also available on the GBA but i wouldn't recommend that version as it sounds horrid."

Live Techno Series #5 - Virus TI2 & Ableton - Simon Stokes

YouTube via siedgey | October 30, 2010

"**PLEASE WATCH IN 720p HD!**
**The sound quality is still ravaged (especially the subs), but it is marginally better..**

Thanks for checking this out!

I can't believe it's actually been 10 months since I lasted posted a video of me making some live techno - thanks to anyone who has forgiven me and is still watching.. :]

All sorts of great things have happened this year - I have been playing more around the UK and internationally, putting out some tracks with some really nice labels and generally just enjoying myself.

This track is inspired by a recent visit to the Warehouse Project to see an epic set by Ricardo Villalobos & Raresh - he tore the place a new one and I think this track captures how it felt for me. This time round it's a thudding techno track - very stripped, but chunky as well. The Virus is creating all the sounds in realtime as I play it, and Ableton is providing the percussion, controlled by my UC-33e.

I love making music, but I really get my kicks when other people enjoy listening to it. Please leave a comment or any feedback that you have for me, it will be warmly appreciated.

If you have any questions, I'm always happy to answer them so post a comment or send me a message.

Cheers,

Simon
