5/11/25 Slope generator and sub oscillator sequence (modules listed in description)
video upload by Cfpp0
"5/11/25 (Slope generator and sub oscillator sequence) SSL 1240 + LWSS CGS01 + Synthesizers.com Q123 & Q125 + muSonics Attenuators & Multiples & Wave Folder + Happy Nerding FM AID + Zerosum Inertia The Scorpion Tail + Blue Lantern Mixer + Alesis MIDIVERB II + ElectroComp EML 200
I spliced two takes one after the other. In the first, the 440 Hz tone from the Synthesizers.com Q123 Standards module, gated by the Blue Lantern mixer, is the constant bell-ish sound panned left. Throughout the whole video I am selecting divide or multiply on the Lower West Side Studios CGS01 Sub Oscillator, which varies the sequence. The Synthetic Sound Labs Dual Slope Generator bipolar output to CGS01 input A. CGS01 output A to .com Q123 to muSonics Multiples to Free State FX Macro Digital Oscillator V/OCT input and to Happy Nerding FM Aid CV input and to .com Q125, with Q125 output to muSonics Wave Folder CV input. Macro output to FM Aid carrier input. Macro sine out to muSonics Wave Folder to Multiples to Zerosum Inertia Scorpion Tail audio in and to Blue Lantern Mixer input 4, with spectral wave folder switched on, triggered by SSL 1240 fall gate out. CGS01 output B to CV in on Scorpion Tail. FM Aid saw out to Mackie Onyx 1640, panned right, with reverb from Alesis MIDIVERB II. Blue Lantern mixer VCA output to Mackie, panned left, with MIDIVERB II. Zerosum Inertia output panned center, dry. The drone is four VCOs on two EML 200, with internal spring reverb, modulated by their master sine waves."

5/3-5/25 (2 patterns) Simmons SDS6 & SDS1 + DR-55 clone + DigiTech HM4 + EML 200 + (in description)
video upload by Cfpp0
"5/3-5/25 (2 patterns) Simmons SDS6 & SDS1 ('flange snare') + Doctor 55 clone + DeltaLab Effectron II + TAMA DS200 + ElectroComp EML 200 + Ace Tone MP-4 + DigiTech HM4 Harmony Machine + Alesis MIDIVERB II + MXR 136 Dual Limiter + DBX 119 + Peavey 1300
This Simmons SDS6 was dead, but it’s been serviced by The Simmons Guy. It got converted from 220v to 115v with a rebuilt PSU, a cloned reset circuit on a custom PCB, traces rerouted on the dead expansion PCB with new caps and trimmer, new RAM ICs, new batteries, plus a MIDI in mod and, due to a lot of corrosion, plenty of new traces, caps, resistors, diodes, and so on. I’m still working my way through the SDS6 manual, but it’s already been a real pleasure to have such a giant sequencer. It makes the Doepfer Trigger Matrix seem microscopic. Considerable noise from the SDS6 is audible through the (always noisy) Doctor 55 clone. Not sure why. Anyways, the SDS6 is triggering the DR-55, which runs through the DeltaLab Effectron II, overloading the preamp limiter, fully wet, full feedback. In the first pattern, the Effectron II is set to Flange Lo (16ms). And then Double (64ms) in the second pattern. The SDS6 also triggers the SDS1, with a “flange Snare” EPROM and with the auto run feature on, and it’s panned a bit right with reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. The SDS6 also triggers the TAMA DS200, which runs through the Ace Tone MP-4 for saturation and spring reverb. The DR-55 is also running through the Peavey 1300, which is panned left and has a lot of reverb from the MIDIVERB II. I did an overdub where I ran the whole first pattern through the DigiTech HM4 harmonizer, but the detuned copy sounded better when placed early, before the high pitched original. So if you are wondering why you can’t see those detuned notes on the SDS6 matrix, that’s why. You can see those notes being leveled by the MXR 136 limiter in the cutaway shots. The second pattern has drones from the EML 200 synthesizers: one is constant, panned left, and getting louder the whole time; the other is four VCOs through two VCAs, modulated by two different master sine waves, with the EML internal spring reverbs and reverb from the MIDIVERB II."

4/27-30/25 (16th, 145) Metasonix D-2000 + Roland 100m SPH-323 TR606 + EML 400/401 + (in description)
video upload by Cfpp0
"4/27-30/25 (16ths, 145 bpm) Metasonix D-2000 + RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & SPH-323 & TR-606 + ElectroComp EML 400/401 & EML 200 + DSP 808 + 2hp Comp + Soundforce S-LD + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Paia 6740
The pumping drone that sounds like a harmonium is the ElectroComp EML 200 through a 2hp Comp module, with reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II and spring reverb from the Paia 6740. The bass pulse is the Metasonix D-2000, triggered by the MFB SEQ-1. The 16th note synth panned center is the Roland System 100m, sequenced by the RYK 185, through the Roland SPH-323 through the Peavey 1300. The 16th note synth line panned left is the EML 400/401. The percussion is the DSP 808 and the Soundforce S-LD, triggered by MFB SEQ-1 and ALM Pamela’s New Workout, which clocks everything."

4/27/25 Roland System 100m & SPH 323 + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II
video upload by Cfpp0
"4/27/25 RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & SPH 323 Phase Shifter + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II
I was going for Burzum low fidelity with the Peavey 1300 overloading and the Ace Tone MP-4 spring reverb feedbacking. Anyways, ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the right RYK Modular 185, which gates one of the Roland 140 envelopes and the left RYK 185, which gates the other envelope. Each 185 modulates the pitch of one Roland 110 VCO and VCF, while the VCFs are also modulated by LFOs from the 140 and 150 modules. The 140 envelopes control the two 110 VCAs, which are mixed on a Roland 132 and sent through the Roland SPH-323 Phase Shifter into the Peavey 1300 delay. The Ace Tone MP-4 is patched into itself for feedback as it further distorts the delayed signal and adds spring reverb."

4/22/25 Soundforce S-LD + SSL 1660 + GenRad 1564-A + BLM Gate Seq + DSP 808 + MIDIVERB II + PV 1300
video upload by Cfpp0
"4/22/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 + Analog Craftsman acVOKs + STG muSonics Vanilla Envelope + General Radio 1564-A + Blue Lantern Gate Sequencer + Soundforce S-LD + DSP 808 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Peavey 1300
Testing out a used Soundforce S-LD module we just got. You can hear the cowbell and the maraca (there’s a switch on the back to choose the Linn toms or percussion). The other percussion is from the DSP 808 module, which is a similar sampled sound module, but with pitch control and voltage controls. The synthy kick drum is the General Radio 1564-A processing the S-LD kick drum. Its VU meter looks like it’s out of sync, but it’s just slow and getting pinned hard. The two drones that build up are from two ElectroComp EML 200 synthesizers. The synth lines are Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 The Matrix Algorithmic Composer through the Analog Craftsman acVOKS filter into the STG muSonics Vanilla Envelope. The reverb is preset 10 on the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

4/18-19/25 (tranq staccato) RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & TR-606 + (more listed in description)
video upload by Cfpp0
"4/18-19/25 (tranq staccato) RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & TR-606 + DSP 808 + MXR 136 + Paia 6740 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + ADR Pan Scan + Eventide H3000B
Nothing drones quite like the ElectroComp EML 200. Two EML 200 VCOs are running through its left mixer into its internal spring reverb into its right mixer into the ADR Pan Scan and the Alesis MIDIVERB II and Eventide H3000B (Cyclons). The synth is the RYK 185 sequencing five VCOs through three filters on the Roland System 100m, processed by the Pan Scan, H3000B, and MIDIVERB II, with LFOs modulating the filters and with manual wiggling of the envelopes. The claves is the RYK 185 gate output triggering the DSP 808 module, with spring reverb from the Paia 6740. The tom is from the Roland TR-606, squashed by the MXR 136 limiter, with a room reverb on the MIDIVERB II. As the TR-606 kick drum is faded in, it further squashes the already squashed tom. The other kick is the DSP 808, with a trigger from ALM Pamela’s New Workout inverted by the Ladik U-202."

4/16/25 (transpose) ARP 1623 & 1613 + Roland System 100m + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Paia 6740
video upload by Cfpp0
"4/16/25 (transpose) ARP 1623 & 1613 + Roland System 100m + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Paia 6740 + ALM Pamela’s New Workout
Well, I’ve been having too much fun with the ARP 1623 sequencer, so we decided not to sell it after all. We were lucky and got it during the pandemic from an eBay auction with no reserve and no lurking whales, and we know we won’t be that lucky again. In this video the 1623 sequence is transposed by a slower sequence on the ARP 1613. The ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the ARP 1623 sequencer, which is in sequential 8/2 mode. The 1623’s Position 1 output drives the 1613, which is also in 8/2 sequential mode, but with a three step sequence (steps 4-8 are set to gate bus 3). The 1613 quantized output A is mixed with the 1623’s quantized output B in the Roland 130 mixer, then that controls the pitch of one of the Roland 110 VCOs. The 1623’s quantized A controls the other 110 VCO’s pitch. The 150 LFO and the 140 LFO are modulating the two 110 VCFs. Both VCAs run through the Lower West Side Studios M830 Signal Distribution System to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer. The Alesis MIDIVERB II is on an aux send and the stereo output returns to two channels on the Mackie, hard-panned, with onboard eq to brighten it up. The Paia 6740 spring reverb is panned hard left."

4/10/25 Overloading an Alesis MIDIVERB II + ADR Pan Scan + SWTPC Psych Tone
video upload by Cfpp0
"I just posted a YouTube Short of the Multivox FR6M Rhythm Ace through the two Moog MKPE Parametric Equalizers, so this video is the last of the lower third rack tests after rewiring the patch bays. Some manual adjustments to the Pause Select switches on the SWTPC Psych Tone, which is running through the ADR Pan Scan, with some adjustments to the Pan Depth and Pan Speed. The Pan Scan outputs are hard-panned on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer. The Alesis MIDIVERB II is on an aux send and is fed a big dose of both channels. The MIDIVERB II blooms alone are worth the cost, but I love the way the MIDIVERB II overloads."

4/8/25 ADR Pan Scan + Eventide H3000B + SWTPC Psych-Tone
video upload by Cfpp0
"4/8/25 ADR Pan Scan + Eventide H3000B + SWTPC Psych-Tone
Testing the ADR Pan Scan and Eventide H3000B after some long overdue rewiring behind the patch bays. The SWTPC Psych-Tone synthesizer is running directly through the Pan Scan, while I change its run direction, and its stereo outputs are hard-panned on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer. The H3000B is on an auxiliary send, fed by both channels, but the effect is mono and fills the center of the stereo field. The Pan Scan rate is close to, but not the same as, the rate of the Psych-Tone sequence, which creates the random feel of the automatic panning."

4/5/25 (B: ROCK 2/8) Korg KR-55b + Ace Tone VM-80 + Paia 6740
video upload by Cfpp0
"I can’t remember the last time I used this modded Korg KR-55b, so it was high time we moved it from the pull-out rack shelf. That made room for the Simmons SDS8, which is now on that shelf, below the SDS7. We got an “as-is” SDS6 sequencer a few years ago and it has finally been repaired and on its way back, so we’re getting prepared. And now the TAMA TSQ-1000 drum sequencer is up for sale at Christopher’s Boutique 489 on Reverb. Anyways, this KR-55b was modified by SD Machines with decay and pitch controls, external 5v clock input, as well as individual audio outputs. Those six outputs are patched to the six Ace Tone VM-80 inputs, which are overloading hard. The VM-80 mono output runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where the Paia 6740 spring reverb is added on an aux send."

7/20/24 Hewlett-Packard 241A & 3310A + Ibanez DD700 + Lexicon PCM 70
video upload by Cfpp0
"7/20/24 Hewlett-Packard 241A & 3310A + Ibanez DD700 + Lexicon PCM 70
There used to be hundreds of private videos in the queue, but most of them have been published now. The description of this video suggests we had just gotten the second HP 241A oscillator, so this might be the first test:
The newly-acquired second Hewlett-Packard 241A glitches a bit—sometimes a button works, sometimes not—but it seems to be getting better with some use. Here’s a simple patch with a sine wave from one HP 3310A function generator affecting the triangle of the other 3310A. Both HP 241A oscillators are hard-panned in the Fostex 2016, with delay from the Ibanez DD700. Plus some Concert Hall reverb from the Lexicon PCM 70."

3/27/25 Roland/RYK/Lana System 100m + Peavey 1310 + CXM 1978
video upload by Cfpp0
"The RYK Modular 185 sequences both Lana 212 VCOs, which are set to different ranges and ring modulated by the Roland 150, which runs through the Roland 121 filter, which gets CV from the RYK 185 and an LFO from the Roland 172. The 121 filter runs through the 172 phase shifter into the Roland 130 VCA. The Lana 212 sub oscillator runs through the left side of the 121 into the 130 VCA, which is controlled by the Roland 140 envelope, driven by the 185. The 130 high output runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, with reverb blended on the Chase Bliss CXM 1978. The 130 low output runs through the Peavey 1310 delay, fully wet, to the Mackie, with CXM 1978."

3/16/25 (dry doom) Metasonix RK10 & RK7 & RK2 & RK5 + MFB Dual LFO & Dual ADSR
video upload by Cfpp0
"Some awful dry doom to test the Metasonix RK10 power in a new location, closer to the RK7, S-2000, S-1000, D-2000, and Zerosum Inertia 6550-99 modules. The RK10 is sequencing the left RK7, whose audio output is multiplied and sent to the right RK7 CV in and to the RK2 VCA. The right RK7 audio output goes to the RK5 lopass gate (left channel). The RK10 gate out is multiplied and sent to both sides of the MFB dual ADSR. The MFB dual LFO is controlling the drive input CV on the right RK7."

3/5/25 Metasonix TM-1 SE + Buchla 292r 281 258d 244s + Doboz TSNM + Peavey DDL-3 + CXM 1978
video upload by Cfpp0
"For better or worse, we got into 4U Buchla format when we purchased the ZIMM system from Zerosum Inertia last year. And that purchase perfectly coincided with us liquidating the massive Tokyo Tape Music Center Buchla TTMC 100 eurorack system and TipTop Audio & Buchla 200 Eurorack system we had amassed over the years. One of the modules I missed was the handy 106 mixer. We had one by TTMC and one by Catalyst Audio. So we just got this Ebolatone CP-3 Moog mixer in Buchla format. This video was supposed to be a test of that mixer, but I got sidetracked."
