Eigenharp Alpha Experiment 20100624

Eigenharp Alpha Experiment 20100624 from Geert Bevin on Vimeo.

"This is an experiment I was working on yesterday with Camel Audio Alchemy and Sonart 'Night Rock Café' Vintage Kit as sampler 4 for the percussion keys.

Not the best performance I've done of this, kinda messed up the drums and the tempo at times ... but you get the idea ;-)"

Bassanome

Bassanome from earsmack on Vimeo.

"Pronounced similar to bossanova.

Bassanome is a max patch modeled after the 4-string fretted electric bass. By default the notes are E A D G but can be changed. Each string is represented by a pair of columns when the monome is standing tall. Two velocities and midi channels can be set. By default, the outer column of a pair uses the lower velocity and first midi channel, the inner uses the upper and second midi channel although they can be the same. Note that because columns are defined as inner and outer they are actually inverse to each other on opposite sides of the monome - this mirror-image actually makes for an interesting performance perspective.

This example shows playing the monome like you might an Eigenharp, Chapman Stick or upright bass. It is using two separate MIDI channels triggering an instance of Operator and Collision in Ableton Live 8. Delay is also added just because it sounds cool. After the short "tune" I play the top row to show the relationship between notes and sounds.

2 dual wogglebug ramp up sound

YouTube via sduck409 | June 25, 2010 | 1:23

"So by chance I happened to have two of my dual wogglebugs in my modular at one time. I was spending some time patching up various odd patches, and came up with this one - but, along the way I noticed that these dual bugs have a pretty long start up time, and wanted to see what it sounded like, and well, it's pretty bizarre. The one on the left starts up a lot faster than the one on the right.

For those interested, there are 3 of the ring outs being heard - and one is going through the MOTM 410 filter. There are also two of the child tone outs also being heard. The rates of each wogglebug is being cv'd by the smooth out of a different bug. No other filters or processing. Because I don't have a fancy mixer, everything is panned hard left and right."

Each of them are within The Deathlehem Machine, who be - playing himself! :D This is the most complex machine composed composition that I've ever come up with yet. I'm not touching any knobs or switches until the last minute or two. The rest of it is the TDM oscillating away in my interpretation of some dude along with his girlfriend or wife and that person's mother whom both love to talk and talk and ... whilst he tries to get his own word in, edge wise. At the end of the 'conversation', things become a little ... wilder. :D lol. I hope you enjoy."

Mayan Piano by Peter Blasser

YouTube via matrixsynth | June 25, 2010 | 2:27

"DDDM2 as Mayan Piano as made by Peter Blasser. One of only five of this limited edition, made out of a recycled piano, in the Mr Grassi [http://www.ciat-lonbarde.net/paper/index.html] shape, with pedestal and sacred geometrical aesthetic on the top. The instrument has twelve touch and four randomize nodes. You have a onoff switch for each of the two speakers, and a the case itself is microphonic by piezo and it has a phone output. So besides playing the electronics you can use the case as a sound board for tuning forks, turkey calls, and feathers.

Rheem Key Bass

via this auction

"Famous gnarly bass keyboard synth. Old "toaster" style AC power inlet replaced with cord. No lid. Finish generally EXC- but with a few hairline cracks. Keys below lower E and above upper G perform erratically. Bass booster slider works fine and adds considerable volume and girth. Tone switch works fine. Fuzz switch works fine. Mode switch works fine but the percussion mode is not a desirable effect, it results in a very short chopped note so I never have used it. Decay switch works but does not have a noticeable effect on the sound except at loud volumes. This synth sounds best (in fact it sounds great) on the "bright" tone mode with the "bass booster" slider full up for all notes between low E and upper G." inside a Rhreem Key Bass

ANALOG SYNTH MINI MODULAR 12x12 NOISE LAB

via this auction
compare to this one by the same seller

"THESE ARE THE MODULES:
---------------------------------------------
(2) BLACK JACK VCO's: RAMP, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, & SINE WAVES. THESE VCO'S HAVE CV, LINEAR CV, AND PWM INPUTS. THERE IS ALSO A LINKED PITCH CV INPUT NEAR THE JACK LABLED 'PCV' FOR SEQUENCER OR MIDI TO CV CONVERSION INPUT. THESE ARE 1V/OCT BASED AND I TUNED THEM FOR A MIDI TO CV CONVERTER USE. THESE ARE MY PERSONAL VCO'S THAT I USE FOR EVERYTHING. VERY MUSICAL.

(2)ANALOG LFO: RAMP, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, & SINE WAVES. THIS LFO HAS A CV AND VARIABLE LINEAR INPUT. THIS 'VLINEAR' INPUT IS VERY UNIQUE TO THIS SYNTH. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS FEATURE ON ANY OTHER PRODUCT OUT THERE. WITH THIS IN PUT YOU CAN DO ARCADE TYPE ARPEGGIOS.

(2)TOM WHILTSHIRE ADSR DIGITAL ENVELOPE GENERATOR FROM ELECTRIC DRUID SITE. THERE IS NO PCB AVAILABLE. I DID A SMALL RUN FOR MY SELF.

(1)ANALOG VCA: AUDIO INPUT, AND VCA CV INPUT

(1)DC MIXER: -WHEN THE KNOB IS PAST THE HALF POINT YOU WILL OVER DRIVE THE SOUND (CAN BE A NICE EFFECT FOR TUBE LIKE STUFF). SO THE FIRST SMALL TURN IS WHERE THE SOUND ADJUSTING IS.

(1)NOISE GENERATOR: WITH GRAIN, WHITE, PINK NOISE

(1)MS-20 VCF WITH LP AND HP FILTERING. IT HAS A BI-POLAR FM INPUT FOR POSITIVE/NEGATIVE ENV ACTION FOR EXAMPLE. IT ALSO HAS ON ONBOARD PRE-AMP INPUT TO BOOST A SIGNAL OR OVERDRIVE THE VCO SIGNAL.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THERE ARE (2) 1/4" PHONO MONO OUTPUTS. (1) IS FOR LINE LEVEL MIXER OUT, AND THE OTHER IS FROM THE VCA/MASTER VOLUME OUT.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS GUIDE IS FOR ROOKIES:
VCO-> OUTS HAVE SOUND, THE INPUTS ARE TO MODULATE OR TWEAK THE PITCH. THE OUTS CAN VOLTAGE CONTROL SOMETHING ELSE TOO.

LFO->OUTS CAN HAVE SOUND AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE INPUTS ARE TO CONTROL THE SPEED. THE OUTS CAN VOLTAGE CONTROL SOMETHINE ELSE TOO.

ENV ADSR-> OUTS LABLED 'ENV' ARE CONTROLLER VOLTAGES, THESE NEVER HAVE SOUND. THESE ARE TO CONTROL SOMETHING ONLY.

VCA->THIS IS A VC AMP. THE MIXER GOES TO THIS THEN YOU CAN CONTROL IT BY PLUGGING IN SOMETHING INTO THE VCA CV INPUT. USUALLY AN ENV OUT PLUGS INTO THIS.

NOISE GENERATOR->THESE OUTS HAVE SOUND, YOU CAN ALSO USE THEM TO CONROL SOMETHING.

THE MIXER->THIS IS TO MIX AUDIO."

via the seller description:
"I did not use the keyboard that came as part of the kit as I already had a Kimber-Allen 3 octave keyboard which I considered a better quality. The resistors R33 &R34 in the VCO have been replaced with the proper Q81 (Tempco) resistor. The wooden cabinet has benefitted from a sanding and restaining. It has recently been tuned with a frequency counter, all the keys sound and as far as I can tell it is working as it should."
