Buchla Inspired Custom DIY Eurorack Modular From Gábor Kakuk

via Gábor Kakuk of Gamma Devices

"Custom made eurorack system, in a 12 mm plywood case (with very dark glaze). The only thing which is not DIY is the power supply, its a 4MS Mini Power. Every module was built on stripboard or on home etched PCB-s, except the Turing Machine, which was ordered from Thonk.

The modules :

- Ersatz Verben Analog Delay
- René Schmitz Dual YASH (modificated version, by me)
- YuSynth MiniMoog VCF
- YuSynth Wavefolder
- FCUK Roland System100M Dual 131 VCA
- Buchla 292f, Fonink clone
- MaxAmp (dual audio to modular converter)
- FCUK Roland System 100M 132 Mixer
- Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb Driver
- YuSynth Dual Arp 4072 VCF
- YuSynth Dual Noise + Sample and Hold
- YuSynth Dual VCO (modded to +/-12V operation, built in "West Coast" stlye
- Music Thing Modular Turing Machine
- René Schmitz Dual Korg MS-20 VCF (LP and HP, PCB layout by Jörg Schmitz)
- NOR Triple LFO (layouts by Niklas Rönnberg)
- YuSynth Dual ADSR (old and new design behind 1 panel)
- YuSynth Dual Steiner VCF"

"From Wiard's site:

The Woggle Bug is an utterly unique module that produces complex random voltages and tones. It reproduces the set of random voltages available from the original Buchla Model 265 "Source of Uncertainty" module. This long out of production module is representative of the most musical random voltage generators produced in the first "Golden Age" of modular synthesizers.

The Woggle Bug adds four permanently coupled audio VCOs to the random voltage outputs. The single mechanical module contains the equivalent functionality of 18 electrical modules. Obviously, all the patch points cannot be brought out to the front panel. The modules are permanently patched into a unique arrangement of two identical "Woggle Bugs" and their "Child Tones". Each Woggle Bug has 3 control voltage inputs, 4 control voltage outputs and 5 audio outputs. Child tones are the ring modulated outputs of the two Woggle Bug "parents.” The control voltage outputs are the reason for the module and correspond to the more traditional sample and hold units with lag processors as found in other modulars. The module produces stepped, smoothed (lag processed) and "woggled" (stepped voltages with decaying sinusoids at the edges) control voltages in the range of 0 to 10 volts. These voltages are usable with any other brand of voltage controlled modular. The smooth voltages are produced by cascaded lag processors which produce a "very" smooth voltage that produces natural sounding wind and surf patches. The module as a whole produces 10 simultaneously available electronic tonalities. The tonalities are deliberately very raw in nature. Part of the 1950's sound is the simple square and sawtooth waveforms output by electronic test equipment. Mixed together and put through a tape delay, well, you'll be doing battle with your Id monster in no time! This applies to only some settings of the 10 controls and some of the 10 outputs. Other settings produce the sound of very large insects, or swarms of large insects. It cannot make keyboard sounds and cannot be controlled by a keyboard. Hooray!

Features:
• Two Multi-function circuits that provide VCA, crossfade, segue, and balanced modulator functions
• A jack multiple
• Bantam (TT) or 3.5mm jacks"

Korg Electribe 2 House Music Demo

Published on Jan 9, 2015 djthomaswhite

"My first demo of the Korg Electribe 2 Synthesizer and drum machine. I am loving this studio tool so far. The sounds are quite a bit more powerful than I expected although I am discovering some limitations along the lines of polyphony due to effects per channel using a voice of polyphony. However, knowing the possibilities, including any limitations can force innovation from the necessary work around process so I look forward to playing with this more and squeezing every ounce of power from it to share in future demos."
