"Starting with a clean sine wave, then at 0:10 adding a short, high feedback delay. At 0:48 I bypass the pressure plate with a slide switch and adjust the volume knob. 1:20 demonstrates the cutoff, then the plate is turned back on for some staccato notes. LFO comes in at 1:43.

half the size of my original Mod-o-Tron: 3 x 17" faceplate, and only 1" high. Case is made from tinted acrylic and MDF. Runs efficiently on two AAA batteries. Uses a Korg Monotron Delay, linear potentiometer and force-sensitive resistor. Cost was about $90 total for all electronics and materials.

Spectralis: Attempting a Roland TB-303 sound

Published on Feb 14, 2013 acemonvw·8 videos

"DISCLAIMER: I've never seen (nor heard) a Roland TB-303 in person (excluding audio recordings), nor really sought out the sound (why am I doing this then? See below). I'll change the title if this in no way resembles the sound of the TB-303. Youtube demo's and sound design forums only tell you so much. Now, who would want an RT Spectralis when the Roland TB-303 is cheaper? Well... it's not cheaper. It's vintage, thus expensive and sought after (the original, at least). It is what it is, it's different than the spectralis, but if you already have the spectralis, perhaps you can get that TB-303 sound. Any thoughts on improving this sound? Let me know, I will make a video of how to make this sound if indeed it sounds similar, but will also take suggestions on improvements. Enjoy (further details below)!

Someone on the Radikal Technologies forums suggested a tutorial on recreating that TB-303 sound. Of course, with no prior knowledge of the synthesis involved, I looked it up and found a Access Virus thread on the subject (see below). Basically, the spectralis doesn't have the right filter. It has a 24dB LP filter (which doesn't open all the way) and a MultiMode 12dB LP/HP/BP filter. I set my oscillator through the MM filter, using the LP portion (specifics below). I then decided to just make a long video and got carried away. One thing I learned on this adventure: INDIVIDUAL PANNING FOR EACH FILTERBANK FREQUENCY!!!!! I used that for OSC3 and OSC4... it was fun and completely unrelated to the TB-303 sound I was going for... Enjoy!

MCTRL - MIDI Controlled NES Gamepad

Published on Feb 13, 2013

Update: in case you missed it, there's something really cool at 2:11. :)  This was a surprise to me as well. BTW, any manufacturer that does this gets a free spot on the top right for a couple of weeks in return as a token of my gratitude. Support like this means more than you know. Thank you Ninstrument!

"A custom MIDI controlled NES Gamepad controller. We tap into homebrew titles created by stellar NES developers by syncing them with MCTRL. From midi controlled lightshows to cool retro 8 bit sounds all can be used effectively in any music studio or live club setting. More information is available at www.Ninstrument.com"

"Take MIDI control of your NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) with the MCTRL (pronounced M-CONTROL) . There are many homebrew audio/video titles for the NES that can’t easily be synced with your traditional DAW or MIDI keyboard/device, until now. MIDI ‘IN’, ‘OUT’ and ‘THRU’ allow you to seamlessly add this to your existing MIDI setup. We have built the MCTRL out of durable ABS plastic, strong enough for the hard rigors of live shows. We use an original NES Gamepad that retains its full functionality and use. We add a full feature MIDI pcb from HighlyLiquid.com that is fully powered from the Gamepad and requires no additional power interface. We insure full NTSC and PAL compatability for all of our MCTRL’s including the free Cartridges we include with every MCTRL sale. You can resell your MCTRL and cartridge to anyone in the world and not have to worry about compatibility problems or issues. The cartridges feature the Ciclone chip from RetroUSB.com.

The LED’s light indicating what your MIDI device has triggered. This makes it very easy to see exactly what is happening. You can still use the Gamepad buttons simultaneously..."

Doepfer Power Supply Rebuild

flickr set by davidkronemyer
(click for more)

"The studio where I work has a bunch of Doepfer Eurorack cases. The power supplies never were their strong point. We have the incoming current regulated, never exceed recommended current draw, etc. etc. but they keep failing. So we decided to exact revenge by converting to super heavy-duty PowerOne power supplies. Here are the steps and results. The Alcatel connectors are way overkill, we could have used a 4-pin XLR instead, but we had these on hand from another project. Nothing like seeing all three of those little lights illuminate when it's done."

In this video, we introduce how to work with eurorack modular synthesizer, particularly DPO from Make Noise, combine with Elektron Octatrack.
Octatrack's MIDI track is sequencing modular then modular's final output is connected to Octatrack's audio input for realtime sampling.
Sampled sounds are looped and processed to create few different layers then mixed with modular's direct sound.
