Historic Machines - in Memory of Kraftwerks earlier style

Published on May 16, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"i made this video in gratitude for the electronic-Band Kraftwerk that has
influenced me since i was a little child.

This song is based to the style of Kraftwerks earlier years. At this time The Members were Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider, Wolfgang Flür and Karl Bartos.

All Synthesizers and the drums i used are analog, the Delay and the Vocoder are Digital

The Machines in the Video you can find at Dansk Motor & Maskinsamling https://motorsamlingen.dk/
The Bedini Machine i had built for experimenting. Bedini was influenced by Nikola Tesla-so i would see this as historic"

An analog DIY Bass-Synthesizer

Published on Apr 17, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"I wanted a little Bass-Synth with an easy Chord-Sequencer and the Akzentuator (I had built it in a Synth before). It also should work as a normal Synth for playing Basslines. The filter i used is a moog-clone descriped in YuSynths site. For metallic Bass-sounds i added the Metalizer that is also descriped in YuSynths site. The VCOs that i used here i had built some time ago, they are the Oscillators from Ray Wilsons (MFOS) sound-lab Mini. There are circuits from the components in Videodescriptions from my earlier videos. Its a very compact device with you can create many Variations of Bass-Sounds.

The analog Choir/Strings-Synthesizer 2.0. Introduction, Plans and Circuits

Published on Jan 26, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"This is another Introduction and Description of an DIY-Device that i have built. Its the second Version of the analog-Strings Synthesizer i have built before. It has 12 Oscillators parted in 4 Strings-Groups that can be freely tuned in Chords or Octaves and controlled over a CV-keyboard.

There is also a Choir-function based on the VP330-Filter. The Circuits are from Roland (Redrawn by Chok), Ray Wilsons MusicFromOuterSpace and from Yusynth.net

The VP 330 Human-Voice-Filter-Clone Test

Published on Jan 15, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"I build a Prototype from this Filter using the Circuit in the Link below.
This 7 Filters were built in the famous Roland VP-330 and gave him the
Vintage choir-sounds. Here i used the Filters to test each one
with its own Potentiometer. I didn‘t use the HV-330 compander from Jurgen Haible
that is shown in the right part of the Circuit.
The right combination of each Filter makes the characteristic voice-sound
The Sound-Source ist the Strings-Synth i have shown in a video before.
It feeds the Filters with 12 Sawtooth-Oscillators

12 Oscillators on a Stripeboard in -2 Minutes

Published on Dec 28, 2019 Andreas Remshagen

"A short Video from the Construction of 12 oscillators on a Stripeboard
for a compact version of the Strings-Synth i did show in the Video before. [posted here]
The difference ist that this Device can switch to Rectangle-Waveform.
I planned to make an analog-Choir-Synth from this Device but i haven’t found the right
Filter for it- so is sounds actually like the Strings-Synth. Maybe someone has an idea
for creating choir-sounds?

Analog Synth #4 - Jam with Swing-Function

Published on Jul 11, 2019 Andreas Remshagen

"A nice little electronic Jam-Session containing my diy analog-Sequencer with swing-function.
All performance is live and on diy-modules except the Mixer and the Fx500 Multieffect.

Following diy components are used:

16 Step-Sequencer with swing-function
a 4 x 4 multi-Vco synth with Steiner-VCF, YuSynth Metalizer and
the 1 to 10 step arpeggiator + akzentuator created by myself
The Strings-Synthesizer and The 4xDS-7 Clone with 2 HiHats
Drum-Machine; both shown in another Video in this Channel
The keyboard plays a 4-Wave VCO and a Moog-Clone VCF

The Swing-Function of the Sequencer gives out a "swingy-clock-signal" that synchronizes the Arpeggiator and the Drum-Machine"

Analog Arpeggiator / Groovebox/ Synthbox with Yusynth Metalizer

Published on May 8, 2019 Andreas Remshagen

"A Demonstration of another Synthesizer-Component i`ve made.
It Incudes 4 VCO`s, each contains Square/Sine/Triangle and Saw-Wave. Every Wave can be mixed into the Main Signal.
The VCF is a Steiner-VCF. Two ADSR drives the VCF and the VCA.
The Metalizer can be feeded with each Waveform that is mixed to
the main Signal. The internal clock drives 4 switchable arpeggiator-sections. the arpeggiator can be set from 1 to 10 Steps.
Internal clock and external clock is possible and there is a gate-out. In the arpeggiator-section i added an "Akzentuator", it gives out an adjustable Accent on selectable positions (1-0-1-0; 11-00-11-00; 111-000-111-000 etc) The accent sets the VCF frequency.
The box can also be used as a normal analog-synthesizer with each VCO-CV in and a master/all VCO-CV in

VCO, VCF, VCA and Metalizer-Design comes from Yusynth (www.yusynth.net)
ADSR-Design comes from Rene Schmitz
(www.schmitzbits.de)
The Arpeggiator and the Akzentuator are modified 4017 countercirquits modified by myself"

"This is a modification of my self-made Strings-Synthesizer.
i have Added 3 LFOs that makes a Chorus/Vibrato Effect in multiple Variations. This gives a very lush sound like the old String-Machines Solina etc.

The Veldt (Deadmau5) Theme with Analog-Synthesizer

Published on Jul 25, 2018 Andreas Remshagen

"Live-Performance without PC or digital-Sequencers
I have only 16 Steps on my DIY Analog-Sequencer so i had to change some notes and
every Step had to be repeated with an Echo (Yamaha FX 500)
Then it could ran on half timing and i had the
nessesary 32 steps for this theme. Its not perfect but i hope you enjoy it."

Analog Synth #2 - Sad and Slow

Published on Jul 12, 2018 Andreas Remshagen

"The Strings-Machine (explained in my videos before) is driven over two ADSR`s - one for the VCA and one for the Steiner-VCF.
(Both ADSR`s are driven over an LFO - see the blue flashing light)
The Attack
is not too fast so it has the Character of an String-Orchestra.
The Strings-Machine plays a four-Notes Chord in minor.
The Keyboard is a modified Formant-Keyboard (Two Wheels and
a Vibrato is added in the Control-Panel)
The Solo Voice is a Sine-VCO running through a Moog-Clone Filter
(Both are described in the site from www.yusynth.net)"

The DIY Analog-Stringsynth Module/Stringmachine

Published on Jan 21, 2018 Andreas Remshagen

"A short Demonstration of a DIY-Completely analog String-Synth Module. The Module has 4 Channels with 3 VCO`s in each Channel.
It is completely driven by 12 VCO's. The 4 Channels can be controlled in 4 parts or all together by one controller. Each Channel
has its own output and there is one Multi-Out for all Channels together. The Module has a built-in Vibrato Effect.
Each VCO is based on the Sound-Lab Mini-VCO Cirquit designed
by Ray Wilson from MFOS. I took out the Sawtooth-part from this Cirquit. All 12 VCO`s have Tempco for better tuning-stabilisation."

DIY Analog Drummachine, the DS7 x 4 Clone

Published on Dec 16, 2017 Andreas Remshagen

"Playing with four DS-7 Clones, all together in one Drumsequencer.
The cirquit can be found in the net eg. http://m.bareille.free.fr/ds7clone/ds...
The four Clones are played over a 16 Step Sequencer.
Since the ds7 clone can usually be controlled by a piezo, it needs a very short pulse"
