Make Noise Function. Double Duty. Clock and envelope.
Make Noise Function. Double Duty. Clock and envelope. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.
"Make Noise Function is clocking both the Rene and Brains/Pressure Points. End of Rise and End of cycle are going into the X and Y gate input of the Rene. Function is in cycle mode. Positive output is going to Optomix. Maths is controlling the rise and fall of the Function. A quantized random output is also going into the "both" input. You can see basic enveloping going on at the beginning and end of the video."

roland gaia synth _ experimental sounds

"the roland gaia synth is a very intuitive instrument. the selection of the sliders is clever and supports a fast working-flow. in the video i´m playing around with some soundcreations, which illuminate the noisy, experimental possibillities of that synthesizer. the gaia supports my preference for dirty colours of sound and random-aspects of musical structures very well."

CASIO CZ-1 Phase Distortion SYNTHESIZER
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Click the pics for the supersize shots.
"The CZ-1 synthesizer competes with the CZ-5000 for the title of most advanced in the CZ series. The CZ-1 had all the features of the CZ-5000 except the sequencer. However, the CZ-1 doubled the memory, was multitimbral, also stored splits and layers as "Operation Memories", added velocity and aftertouch sensitivity to the keyboard, along with programming parameters to control how velocity and aftertouch pressure would affect the sound. In this respect the CZ-1 is the most advanced CZ synthesizer. The CZ-1 also featured a backlit display - a small but nice improvement over the rest of the series.
It has a full 61-note, 5-octave keyboard with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity. Very professional features from a Casio synth! Otherwise it is essentially a CZ-3000 (which is essentially two CZ-1000s or CZ-101s). With the CZ-1 you get 8-stage envelopes, 2 oscillators per voice and a whole lot more, with relatively easy programming.
Polyphony: 16 voices; Oscillators: 2 per voice (DCO, DCW, DCA); Keyboard: 61 keys with velocity and aftertouch; Memory: 64 preset, 64 user patches, 64 patch external cartridge; Effects: Chorus; Control: MIDI.
This has plenty of Yamaha DX-like sounds with a unique use of Phase Distortion synthesis to get them. For performance, the CZ-1 may be the best of the CZ-series. Its dynamic keyboard and enhanced memory abilities make it ideal for live situations. Memory, MIDI and multitimbrality have all been upgraded in the CZ-1 making it one of the nicest synths ever to grow out of a consumer market. As an older piece of gear, I am selling it on an as-is basis and am offering no guarantee. However, as I said, I did test it and put it though it's paces and it was working fine."

Logique Analogique for iPad Video
Published on Jan 7, 2013 Apps4idevicesMusic·325 videos
http://apps4idevices.com/read/logique-analogique
"Logique Analogique is a simulation of a real circuit board that includes an 8-bit binary counter, analog implementation of logic functions, and 4 channel, 1-bit sound generation. To quote the developer, "The Logique Analogique sequencer consists of an 8-bit binary counter and four tracks which generate pulse waves when a user-defined majority function depending on the counter bits is true. Switches which select the counter bits (or their logic inverse) and a threshold voltage define the majority function. The output is calculated as the XOR function of the four tracks' signals, which produces a ring modulation like effect." Complexities aside, this app creates incredibly powerful sounds, with a seemingly endless amount of rhythmic possibilities. The sounds can be layered to create ring modulation type effects, with both pitch and threshold control to further shape the sound. The sequencer makes it possible to create evolving patterns or complete songs, using the tap & drag method to easily create your sequence. I would suggest starting slowly with this app, to hear the effect of each switch or dial, but then dive in and explore. It has to be noted that this app does not offer any method of recording yet, but both MIDI and Audio Copy are currently being considered for the future. Despite these missing necessities, I have to say that I'm incredibly impressed with the power of this app, and for the first time, I'm willing to connect my iPad to another source to record my creations. I haven't found another app that creates such intense sonic delights as this does. I'm so taken with Logique Analogique, that even without recording or MIDI, I still have to rate it ...

the Contour Generator
Published on Jan 7, 2013 organfairy·357 videos
"The contour generator is a special kind of envelope generator that doesn't have the now classical Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release settings. Instead it has Attack-On-Decay-Off and can work as both envelope generator and LFO.
They were found on EMS synthesizers but most other synthesizer makers preferred the Moog ADSR system.
Here I try to recreate this special design using relatively modern components.
The music is something I put together using Elka EP-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs."

Ring modulated mixing bowl from Peter Speer on Vimeo.
"A suspended mixing bowl ring modulated against one of the DPO's sines. An Echophon adds pitch shifting and echo. Pressure Points T-Gate out --> Maths Signal in, Maths out controls VCA with ring mod, VCA out --> Echophon Signal in.
The slider positions control values in Max, which are sent into the patch as voltages through the ES-3.

All sounds (Organ, Strings, Synth) can be layered which makes for a surprisingly rich sound. Fully polyphonic although only one ADSR for the poly-synth section. Organ section has 5 footings plus percussion. Good keyboard action..."

First patch with Make Noise Function Module. Hold function.
First patch with Make Noise Function Module. Hold function. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.
"Shaky phone camera footage of the first patch I did with the new Make Noise Function module. I'm exploring the "hold" function. I have one channel of the Maths going into the "hold" input while in cycle mode. The Maths channel is cycling at a slower rate than the Function cycle. You can hear the "pause" when the Maths channel hits the Function cycle. I have the Positive output multiplied to both the Optomix (VCA) input and DPO (Osc) 1vlt/oct input. I have the inverted output plugged into the fold..then FM Bus inputs. Adjusting the rise and fall of both the Function and Maths results in some nice crazy sounds. Better quality video to follow."
Update:
Second patch: Make Noise Function module. Hang function. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.
This patch is a simple sequence in which a clock signal is divided by two and input into the Function modules "Hang" feature creating interesting rhythmic patterns.

"SOUNDS FOR A TRS-80" ARP2600 & MAKE NOISE RENE PATCH TUTORIAL
"SOUNDS FOR A TRS-80" ARP2600 & MAKE NOISE RENE PATCH TUTORIAL from Kip Kubin on Vimeo.
"I was trying to stretch my use of voltage inverters to create more interesting and varied timbres in a sequence using Ring Mod as the sound source.
I also wanted to use the Rene as a playable instrument and allow the grace notes to be random. I'm still wrapping my head around the RENE but it's already has opened me up to new ways of using sequencers in my work."

ORIGINAL MANDALA DRUM SYNTHESIZER SYSTEM
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is a rare opportunity to own a virtually new original Mandala Drum Synthesizer system with all original accessories and packaging. This was the debut product developed by the well known Synesthesia Corp. in cooperation with Danny Carey. This system is unlike any of their other MIDI based Mandala drum products because it included a drum synthesizer module that the Mandala could hook up to. As far as I know, this is the only drum module that they produced. I am the original owner. I bought this when they were originally released in 2006 and have only put about an hour or so's worth of play into it. This is probably one of the last (if not the last) remaining example of this Mandala Drum Synthesizer system in this kind of condition. Everything is virtually new as it saw no extended play, touring, or rigorous studio use. I am the only person who has ever used it.
INCLUDED IN THE MANDALA DRUM SYNTHESIZER SYSTEM
-Original Mandala Drum
-Original Mandala Drum Synthesizer Module
-Power Cable
-ITE Power Supply
-Foot Switch
-TRS Cable
-L Shaped Mounting Arm
-Original Manual
-Original packaging
I believe that Synesthesia Corp. may perhaps sell replacement heads for their drums, but I am not sure. If this is of interest to you (so that you can play without worry) then I would recommend contacting them via their website and inquire."
