"A friend requested a basic intro to how I personally use a looper pedal with my Buchla. To keep things simple I am just using a Buchla 259e oscillator, a Boss RC-20 Loop Station pedal, and a very cheap videocam mixer.
Also my other youtube videos Buchla Break and Live Buchla Improv Concert are examples of looping the Buchla

"Arpie is the novel musical composition system. Put balls as many as you like, and watch as they make nice music. Higher balls hit the keys with long pauses, as opposed to lower balls which hit fast and repeatedly. By combining them you can easily make a wide variety of musical sequences."
"Live ambient music performance on Access Virus C (Indigo 2) using rhythmic LFOs, reverb, resonance and envelope filter adjustments.

"A tool for producing electronic music, based on the interaction of the Rubik's Cube, B.A. Thesis project at Muthesius Academy Of Fine Arts And Design by Hauke Scholz
The two outputs of the Harvestman's Hertz Donut dual oscillator are combined with bit-rot and processed in parallel by two Make Noise QMMG channels - one in lowpass gate mode and one in lowpass filter mode. Reverb and stereo spread added by Jomox T-Resonator.

"Modulating the Echophon's pitch shifter and delay times to simulate Karplus-styled string modelling.
Signal path: DPO Final out--> Wogglebug ring mod in --> Wogglebug center out --> LPG --> Echophon --> LPF
A contact mic under the Moog Prodigy to the right is fed into a Maths channel-- tapping on the Moog (or anything on the desk, really) triggers an envelope which opens a VCA, letting quick burst of signal into the Echophon.
The first row of the Pressure Points is controlling the pitch shift amount.

1) SEM-PRO. SEM with MIDI to CV Converter and integrated Patchpanel. This version combines the features of the MIDI to CV version (see below) with a 21-jack patchpanel and is personally autographed by me.
Select MIDI channel, controller number and bend range
Select note assignment modes: latest, high note and low note priorities
Select note re-trigger, filter track, LFO reset
A second independent control bus allows velocity, controller data, or channel pressure to modulate either or both VCOs, the filter and the VCA
Transpose function allows different keyboard controllers to utilize the complete MIDI note range
Analog portamento
Input preamp gain control - allows an external audio input to be processed thru the SEM
High precision A-440 Hz tune signal
Control voltages and gate are bought out to rear panel connectors so MIDI to CV function can be used with other CV/Gate gear."
"MIDIFlute is an Irish Flute/Whistle CoreMIDI control surface for the iPad.
The fingerings are based on those used for the 6-hole keyless Irish flute or whistle.
MIDIFlute doesn't produce any sound on its own, it is designed for playing hardware and software VST-style MIDI synthesizers via a CoreMIDI compatible interface connected to the dock connector or virtual MIDI instruments like IK Multimedia SampleTank® for iOS running on your iPad.
To get started playing, first show the on-screen fingering chart and hole labels by touching the '?' icon at the lower right corner of the screen.
Start by touching the top half of the flute starting with the tips of your left index, middle, and ring fingers on holes #6, 5, and 4. The holes light up when touched.
Next touch the bottom half of the flute with the tips of your right index, middle, and ring fingers, on holes #3, 2, and 1.
Using the fingering chart as a guide, play each note of the scale starting from the low-D and working up to C#.
To play the second octave, touch the bar next to the flute with your left little finger while using the same fingerings as the first octave.
Touch the bar at the top of the screen with your left thumb to stop the sound while fingering a note. This can be used for repeated notes in the place of doing a cut or tap.
Finger vibrato may be done with the middle finger of the right hand on many notes. The amount of vibrato is adjustable using the MIDI control sliders.
Touch the MIDI icon at the bottom left corner of the screen to show/hide the MIDI controls. All settings are saved and restored the next time the app is run.
You may select the volume, attack velocity, vibrato depth and MIDI chanel using the sliders.
The entire range may be transposed up or down up to one octaves (zero transpose is "C") in semitone increments using the transpose slider.
All MIDI settings are saved when the app quits and restored the next time it is run.
Touch the '!' icon at the top left to quiet any "stuck" notes if they occur."

"A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the base pitch of the tone moving upward or downward, it is referred to as the Shepard scale. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet which ultimately seems to get no higher or lower.
It has been described as a "sonic barber's pole". The acoustical illusion can be constructed by creating a series of overlapping ascending or descending scales.***"

"Touch sensitive MIDI fader control. Roland brought out a whole series of these desktop based midi controllers in the late 80's.
Perfectly working and in great cosmteic condition. Includes the original box and packaging!
"You know what this is and what it does... what you may not know is what the modification is? It's had a kenton midi mod fitted, which means that you aren't restricted to the wonderful (yet restricting) inbuilt step sequencer; you can channel midi straight out of your DAW through the 303, opening up your options a lot."
