The switch and pots are from the Synthesizers.com version I'm building for Android Lust. The knobs I grabbed off of my Frac Bananalogue VCS.

The print isn't the most recent version of this panel (see the previous graphic in my photostream).

So far so good!"

Analog Synth Health Club Synthesizer MicroGame

via this auction
"The MicroGame features:
2 Voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), scaled to 1v/Octave
1 Voltage-controlled filter (self-oscillating and 1v/Octave too)
1 Attack-Release envelope generator (loopable) *The synth you will receive will have a BLUE BUTTON for manually triggering the envelope, instead of Yellow.
1 Low-frequency oscillator (LFO)
1 Voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA)
1 Audio Input
1 MIXER
1 White Noise generator

Some details about the features:
-->The original filter on the circuit was tweaked so that it self oscillates to get you the sine wave--you can hear it on the website's playlist.

-->You can play the oscillators and the filter with your favorite CV keyboard.

--> The AR envelope can loop internally, so it acts like an LFO. It is very enjoyable and is used ALOT.

The synth circuit design is based on Ray Wilson's design. For more PCBs and analog synths, go to www.musicfromouterspace.com

"This is a 10 minute synth noodle video of me messing around with the MPC5000 synth. It starts out with a single triangle wave and then moves through all kinds of noises. Then I start adding the built in effects. The effects chain is Frequency shifter to auto Low pass filter sweep to analog delay to Grimey distortion."

Experimentations In Plugins

Experimentations In Plugins from Edward Loveall on Vimeo.


"Experimentations In Plugins
Edward Loveall
Spring 2009

Presented are 3 plugins, a Downsampler/Bitcrusher (Downplay), an LFO based, modulation plugin (Modlove) and a granular delay buffer playback effect (DelayGrains). All plugins were created with Max/MSP 4.6.3 and the Pluggo API. The interfaces are custom designed and coded as well, using Max's JSUI Objects and the OpenGL language.

Also the song "Net Neutrality" is an example showcasing the plugins abilities on live tracks. A video describing the plugins and delivering the song is included.

You can find the plugins and song here: edwardloveall.com/"

ArpShift

ArpShift from Edward Loveall on Vimeo.


"ArpShift is a melodic, interval based, poly-rhythmic arpeggiator. It's relatively simplistic in nature with only 3 pages and 7 lanes. However, it is flexible in it's simplicity, and is able to take stagnant melodies and turn them into flowing, never repeating music.

Test patch for the PAiA 9700s modular synth


YouTube via shobley
"I made this movie as a reference for other 9700s builders. It uses MIDI pitch, trigger and gate, OSC2 and modulation, the VCF (both filters ganged) and the envelope generator.

As far as I can tell, everything is working correctly, and the output sounds like this...

[The midi keyboard was shifted down to octave -4.]

Check out my blog for the color coded image file of this test patch.

LeadOn


YouTube via blackmuzzle
"Sequenced entirely on the Fantom, LeadOn was yet another learning experience using a different workflow, not to mention a new keyboard workstation. It's a playful, jazzy piece of electronica.

Equipment: Access Virus TI, Elektron Machinedrum, Roland Fantom G6

ESQ1 Parameters for my Vangelis CS80 brass sounds

"the parameters in the video are for the patch which uses the mod. wheel to express the sound (my favourite)!.. By hitting the filter button and changing "wheel" to "env 2" you allow the patch to flow on its own. There are many variations of it, try experimenting with the LFO's and envelopes to suit . I find this patch with the mod wheel to be the best, certainly does not have the warmth of the CS80, but very inspiring.
The track I made for the video is the opening of "love is" by Jon and Vangelis"

Airwolf theme on the Roland Fantom G6


YouTube via joukoq. sent my way via Toumal.
"I got the Fantom G on Friday and threw together this as a practise project. Used preset sounds with some minor tweaking. For somewhat better quality: http://kiekko.tk/q/airwolf.mp3

I routed all instruments through a Super Filter MFX to do some kind of fade in/out, but didn't find a way to automate this, so I've done it in real time here.

The melody probably isn't 100% right. It's mostly based on listening to the Commodore 64 game tune a long time ago. I never actually saw the series. It seems the TV show and C64 melodies differ a bit."
