[ Arturia Minibrute ] First Improv jam with TR-909 + Frostwave Fat Controller #1

YouTube Published on Jul 6, 2012 by LowGainElectronics

"Attack of "DJ FINGERS" ! WOOoooOO *laughs* OK... If you can't watch this with a sense of humor then just stop the video now. This is a work of fiction, it never happened in real life so no hating on how bad it is. Just messing around within the first 30minutes of me opening up the new Arturia Minibrute. Gotta say it's lots of fun. Looking forward to exploring it a LOT more. Expect some better videos soon. There are some fun parts though in here. Youtube tells me there's sync issues, sorry for that. Not going to fix, just going to upload more videos. This is also my first jam with the fat controller. Still learning it's ins and outs.

I'll tell you that off the bat it has arpeggiator issues. Be warned."

Low-Gain Elecronics 2-Bits Examples demo 1

Published on Mar 1, 2016 LowGainElectronics
Update: Re-Published on Mar 1, 2016 LowGainElectronics

"In this video I'm demonstrating using the 2-Bits as a preset voltage for DC offset of a sequence coming in from the Verbos Voltage Multi-Stage. I also used the Trigger output on the 2-Bits to fire an EG provided by the MakeNoise Maths which is being sent to the 'Effect' CV Input on the SynthTech E950 CircuitBent VCO.

950 VCO into LXD into ADSRVCA into ProOuts into Protools: processed via 1/8note simple delay and reverb."

"Had a late BEMI issue Easel come in for a modification. These are known to have modulation oscillator bleed into the reverb driver. Pretty quick and simple modification takes care of that issue. These are such fun instruments to play."

Low-Gain Electronics SubMix Feedback Session

Published on Nov 17, 2012 by LowGainElectronics

"Feedback patch using the new SubMix. Fun stuff! Now if only I had an envelope!!
pinging the SEM20 filter w/ a gate signal, output into mixer, AB submix out into WMD VCA, out of VCA into channel 1 of mixer B, A output to mixer, B mixer output to channel 2 on MIxer a, HH909 into mixer a ch 3. ABCD output into mixer b channel 2. ALL KINDS OF FEEDBACK :-D
gate outs to binary sequencer (soon to be released) which is controlling the SEM20 Freq CV input."

Low-Gain Electronics - SubMix6 Demo

Published on Dec 15, 2014 LowGainElectronics

"SubMix6:
Back by popular demand, the SubMix6 is an improved concept over the original SubMix7. Featuring 6 active/buffered inputs, with linear attenuators, with two dedicated mix outputs labeled A and B and one dedicated SubMix output labeled ABMix Options: (Available Simultaneously)
(2) 3 inputs x 1 output x (1) submix output
(1) 6 inputs x 1 output
Half the functionality of the original SubMix in less than 1/4th of the size!!
The SubMix6 was designed with the intention of sub-mixing the waveform outputs from VCO's. Passive mixers tend to functioned more like waveform "on/off" switches with little in between for mixing options. With active inputs the load on the summing bus stays constant and you get smoother/more gradual mix regardless of the load on the input.
The SubMix6 is CV and Audio friendly, keeping in mind you will have offset/clipping if you use the SubMix output of mixers that are mixing AC & DC signals at the same time.
You can also take advantage of the SubMix output and play around with feedback loops!

Lunchbox Voice Prototype gets patched ! - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Had a shop visit from the talented @helenastndc all the way from Spain/Sweden yesterday! We had a great discussion about synthesizers, design/diy and education. She got a little time to patch on the lunchbox voice system prototype on my test bench. We didn’t get a chance to get a proper recording of it but I fired it up where she left it and grabbed this recording of it this morning. Just turned a couple of knobs during the recording to see what sonic journey it would take! Hope you enjoy! Headphones recommend for full fidelity!"

"Prototype type boards came in and I couldn’t resist building one up at the end of the day. A board rev needs to be made. I completely forgot to condition the newly added Saw and Double Saw (DUO) outputs so they are 0-5V and not +/-5V. But you can get some really fun wave shapes including square when you mix them in an external processor (a crossfader would be a fun pairing for sure! Also need to tweak the FM input. It’s a little weak."
