"This is a a video of my Pinball Gizzard Buchla patch. Better audio of the Patch here -https://soundcloud.com/dan_p/pinball-gizzard

Patch is mix of Buchla 200e with 277r , Ekdahl Moisturizer in there as part of the patch too."

MicroGranny 2 Demo #1

Published on May 11, 2014 d4nnyp·34 videos

"very quick and rough demo of the new MG2 from Bastl Instruments. I recorded a knee harp using the on board mic. MG2 is synced by an MFB drum machine part way through with a simple beat. some reverb and delay also used. Recording quality is quite lofi from the onboard mic, I didn't record it very well and the camera I used to record this is pretty noisy too, so maybe not he best demo but will give an idea. Sound from wav files on the SD card is spot on. This is a great box, Bastl have down a good job."

Gotharman LD Tube Expansion Demo

"Quick and dirty demo of the Gotharman Tube expansion box for Little DeFormer. Great sounding tube distortion and filter. Check them out @ www.gotharman.dk"

Strung Out Theory Patch Test

Published on Jan 3, 2014 d4nnyp·31 videos

"Playing with a patch I built to do some experimental house stuff with. (i.e., experimental music with a kick drum in it ;-)

Kick and Shaker are from Gotharman Little Deformer. everything else is the Skylab clone system. This system is built around a 208 clone with a 259e thrown in too. reverb/delay from Strymon pedals."

259e 208 Acid clip

Published on Jan 2, 2014 d4nnyp·30 videos

"Quick Acid patch with the Skylab system.

Kick/Snr/Hat are all from the 259e, fed into channel 2 of the 208. Everything else is 208. sequencing is a mix of Pendulum Ratchet, 247v and 208."

Buchla Percussion Test #2

Published on Dec 22, 2013 d4nnyp·29 videos

"Hand Percussion (Kanjira) triggering a Buchla 200e system via a 230e.

Just testing some ideas out again, I started this a while ago but got sidetracked and busy.

Excuse the terrible playing, I only had a small window of time to record this so couldn't warm up and record it again. I also haven't played the Kanjira for while, its not the sort of thing you can just pick up!"

Buchla sequence

Published on Dec 15, 2013 d4nnyp·28 videos

"Buchla 200e sequence. All sounds and sequencing are done in the 200e.(reverb/delay are Strymon pedals)
Such a powerful sequencing setup in the 200e. The 250e, 251e and Pendulum Ratchet work so well together.

This has some interesting sequencing of the kick and snare sounds, the Pendulum Ratchet provides the triggers from the div a and b sections. The main non percussive sound is put through an envelope follower 230e) the envelope follower is taken out to the rate of the div a and b sections to increase the frequency of the triggers. the kick cv is inverted. This gives interesting and changing patterns for the kick and snare with good correlation of the drum part from the main tonal (?) part. This was a good experiment."

Skylab Clones (Buchla)

Published on Sep 14, 2013 d4nnyp·27 videos

"Having a Jam getting used to my Buchla 200 clones setup.
Modules in this piece are 151d, 208, 258 and 257. the MM chassis has a pair of slews a uStep and a DLFO but are not used in this video."

Buchla 251e Demo 1

Published on Aug 4, 2013 d4nnyp·26 videos

"Simple 251e Demo, nothing fancy, just an example of playing the 251e on the fly.

Started as a simple 16 step sequence on ch 1, kick triggered from ch2, kick fill ch3 (could of used ch2 for this and used the jump feature) And ch 3 is a high hat pattern thing. I bring the sequences in then edit them on the fly, going wonky and altering the timing of the steps etc. Main thing is adding and changing loop points as it plays."

Tetrax vs the Buchla

Published on Jun 20, 2013 d4nnyp·25 videos

"Ciat Lonbarde Tetrax and Buchla.

Tetrax goes into 230e and then into the mighty 296e. Tetrax controls 259e, the 259e is modulating the 296e and also being output through a 292e. and other stuff like that........"

296e testing

Published on Jun 16, 2013 d4nnyp·24 videos

"Just got a 296e, having a mess about trying to get used to it. it is completely bonkers."

Buchla Little Deformer Test

Published on Jun 9, 2013 d4nnyp·23 videos

"Testing LD syncing to and sending CV to Buchla 200ePR clocks LD, LD sequencer triggers samples (kik/snr/hat) in LD.
Control Sequencer 1 is output from LD to CV in of the 259e.
281 is triggered from tock section of PR.
266e, altering envelope decay via 256e. 256e also does envelope feedback (281 out to 256e which inverts it, scales it and is sent to decay CV) a second 256e channel is used to mix the env feedback and the 266e to get different length envelope decays.

The 259e is made of funk, its a ridiculous oscillator. got to be my all time favourite."

Kanjira Buchla Test

Published on Jun 2, 2013 d4nnyp·22 videos

"First test using the Kanjira to play the Buchla.
The Buchla 230e is key in achieving this. I mult the input to pre 1 into the other 2 followers to get different gates and envelopes.
The Buchla 230e is completely brilliant, the preamps sound lovely and the gate/envelope extraction is a wonder.

Kanjira is a Southern Indian frame drum played in Carnatic music to accompany the Mridangam. Its an amazing little drum and is quite versatile. If you want to hear what it is capable of then you should check out these dudes Ganesh Kumar, G Harishankar (Legend), Pete Locket etc. Do a search, this drum will blow your mind. Also check out Trichy Sankarin, a Mridangam player (my absolute favourite) but he also plays a pretty mean Kanjira."

BlipStep

"Messing about with my new Blippoo Box and Little Deformer.
This is Blippoo Box Tri out clocking a Gotharman little deformer, a very simple kik snr hat pattern was set up in the LD sequencer. Sample pitch is modulated by Blippoo rungler and S&H outputs.
Reverb is from LD

Blippoo Box is made by Rob Hordijk
Little Deformer is made my Gotharman http://www.gotharman.dk"

1 minute Serge (Creature/Gator)

Published on Apr 15, 2013 d4nnyp·19 videos

"Quick Serge patch. Nothing too exciting.
Just Creature/Gator and some reverb from eventide Space.
One interesting thing about it is using the right side of the TGC as a ghetto VCA."

Tetrax Plays Creature

Published on Mar 26, 2013 d4nnyp·17 videos

"Patching a Ciat-Lonbarde Tetrax with a Serge Creature/Gator.

Lots of cross modulating stuff, pressure/release from the barres sends CV, some FM both to and from creature, sample and hold into Tetrax, yada yada.

Sound is from both Creature and Tetrax."

Resonator Neuronium 2

Published on Feb 10, 2013 d4nnyp·16 videos

"Another video getting to know my Resonator Neuronium. I used a Signal Arts Tetra MAPS to sequence the RN this time. The MAPS is a brilliant sequencer and works very well with the RN, 6 8 step sequence tracks were used, some with different lengths, the sequence wasn't tweaked while recording. All sounds are RN (Apart from Kick drum which was made with my Bugbrand Modular (just an SV filter pinged and CV'd from an envelope) with delayed reverb effect from Eventide Space."

Jomox Resonator Neuronium Video Demo

Published on Feb 3, 2013 d4nnyp·14 videos

"JoMox Resonator Neuronium. I recently got hold of this RN, I'd been after one for a long time. The RN is a lot of fun to play, its also great fun to program and let it run on changing its patterns using "Stimulus Recombination" (The manual reads more like a science lecture!). I could literally listen to it for hours. I'll most likely be doing a few videos with this once I have some more time on it, its such a fantastic and rare piece of gear.
The video is all RN, sequenced by itself. Audio from RN stereo pair with a bit of reverb. I think it just sounds superb, its hard to appreciate listening through youtube (and its recorded into a crappy camera audio input) but standing in front of the speakers it sounds massive."

Random Seed

Published on Jan 25, 2013 d4nnyp·13 videos

"BugBrand Modular synth doing all sounds, Gotharman Little deFormer playing and processing the speech sample. Signal Arts Tetra MAPS sequencer triggering BugBrand.

Complicated patch so I won't explain it all but interesting bit is using cross modulation for the clock. Everything, including the MAPS is clocked from an oscillator in LFO range, the rate of the oscillator is changed by sample and hold that is clocked from the same oscillator, so theres a feedback path.
MAPS, has 2 main sequencer channels into the Bugbrand and each of those is modulated by 2 further sequence tracks, the latter 2 set to random mode. MAPS is very good at sequence modulation and live triggering.
Gotharman Little deFormer is triggered from the BugBrand and CV'd from both BugBrand and MAPS via the AnaX analog breakout box."
