Arturia beatstep sequencer

"First check if the new Arturia Beatstep works as a standalone CV-Gate sequencer. It works fine but the gate signal is weak and has to be amplified if you want to control more modules with one beatstep.."

Doepfer Dark Energy 2 Expansion / Break-out Box (very first test)

Published on Aug 31, 2013 creativegallerysynth·24 videos

"For users with electronic knowledge the Dark Energy II offers much more internal expansion features than the Dark Energy I.
This expansion box offers: Triangle output, Reset, Direction and Rectangle output for LFO 1&2. (JP10 & JP11 of the voice board)
Next to this the VCF Lowpass,Bandpass and Highpass are taken out to individual outputs.(JP6 of the voice board)
4 signals can be mixed with an extra A-138 mixer which is powered by the powersupply of the DEII. (JP14 of the interface board, 20mA max)
No music, no special sounds, just some testing for the ones who are interested.

Doepfer Dark Energy I (4x) stacked with MIDI Thru

Published on Jan 8, 2013 creativegallerysynth·20 videos

"This is a video I recently found, dated from a year ago. Not proud of it. Never published, because it is rather boring or even terrible. But as for the many questions about stacking Dark Energy's I will post this. No playing skills. It shows 4 stacked dark energy's. In this way you can play polyphonic. However, if every DE has it's own sound, and that sound is depending on which key is touched first, you'll never know which DE you will hear first.. So striking 4 the same keys more times after eachother will sound different by each strike. The fifth sound you hear comes from the WMD Synchrodyne which is connected to the cv output of DE1. The DE's are internally connected via MIDI thru (as you can see none of the DE's is CV connected). In that way the keyboard controls the DE's via MIDI, but every DE has its CV output, so you can connect other cv controlled devices to every DE....(even the Pitch Wheel or other MIDI commands send to filters for example) So instead of 4 sounds per chord you can add many other sounds per note of the chord. This is one of the many advantages of this marvellous semi-modular synthesizer. Soon I will show the MIDI stacked combination of 4x Dark Energy I and 2x Dark Energy II with 6x Doepfer A-111-5 (Modular version of Dark Energy I) connected to the CV output of each DE, so chords of 6 notes can be played with 2 voices per note...."

Magic Ceramic Theremin Lamp Doepfer A-178

Uploaded on Nov 22, 2011 creativegallerysynth·19 videos

"The first test of the Magic Ceramic Theremin lamp. It is developed as a peculiar piece for the opening of the Exibition of several ceramists in Gallery Artibrak. from november until 28th of December 2011.
A theremin is normally stepless, but in this case an A-156 is used as a quantizer..

Small explanation for those who are not familiar:
In this magic piece of ceramic two antenna's are integrated. One antenna for the volume and one for the pitch. The instrument does not have to be touched. The volume can be controlled by your left hand (when approaching it the volume increases), the pitch can be controlled by your right hand (when approaching it, the pitch of the sound goes up). By approaching the antenna's you are influencing the potential difference. Just like the antenna of your transistor radio which functions well or not when approaching it.

The Magic Ceramic is based on the original Theremin invented by Léon Theremin in 1919. That electronic instrument is stepless variable and very expressive. It sounds like an opera voice or violin.

This ceramic version of the instrument has a much more variety than it's original. You can make the sound stepless or let it be quantized, so that you hear a real tonescale/musical scale. The sinus-tone of the Magic Ceramic is quantized (chopped in pieces), and in the way it is presented now only the Minor notes are heard. (like the black keys on a piano) In this way the steps between the notes are bigger and easier to distinguish. Other possibilities are just Major notes or the complete tonescale, quantized or not. There is also a small sampler added, so when you reach the highest note a spoken voice can be heard.
