Folktek "Bug" synthesizer - Magnetic patchable glitch Bent Circuit

via this auction
"The Bug By Ben Houston .

This custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Known simply as the Bug series. Also in the series on the site and around the world is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer,the book of sound, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. Endlessly captivating, this piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.

This particular piece features four patchable knobs, and a twelve point magnetic patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, two more knobs (global knob control and power kill) , glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections, reset, 1/4" output, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Housed in antique oak finger jointed hardwood box. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find..

Includes DC adaptor"

Alpha Seed (Melodic live Granular Sampling) = Octatrack + Strymon Big Sky + EPSI + Cocoquantus

Published on Jun 11, 2014 A Box In The Sea·14 videos

"My concept in this piece was to use the Strymon big sky reverb (btw it's amazing http://www.strymon.net/bigsky/) to modulate and process all of the granular sampling I'm doing with the Octatrack. I'm using 2 Midi tracks on the Octa to constantly modulate (using LFO's and P-locks) 6 different parameters on the Big Sky (Midi CC's on a reverb pedal of this standard is brilliant). The sounds you hear are created with custom impulse responses I made (inspired by Diego Stucco http://www.diegostocco.com) and reprocessing the same sound with itself (blowing my mind in the process). The Cocoquantus is being modulated by a Sidrax. I've routed the Sidrax through an SSF Ground Control so I can apply DC bias and visualize it with a Dave Jones O'tool. Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy!"
