Serge Creature Drone - FM Bombs by parasitk
"Dual Creature M-odules. Two TGO saw waves (left side) into a VCFQ, with LFO (TGO right side and S/SG cross mod) modulation of resonance and cutoff. Pretty straightforward. But the second VCFQ is being triggered and the resulting sine burst is FMing the first filter. Lovely.

PS: The photo is not of this patch."

Messing with the Modcan Super Delay

Modcan SuperDelay first ten minutes by parasitk
'I just received a Modcan SuperDelay in the mail today as part of a trade. Ten minutes after I installed it I recorded this. Just getting a feel for all the sonic options. Modulating the regeneration (feedback), delay time, trying the tracking filter on vs. off.

Starts off fully dry, then I shift the balance to fully wet. The wet/dry mix alternates variably from there.

View the pic for the basic patch.

Sound source is Modcan Dual VDO. The Modcan VCDO and Cyndustries Zeroscillator are being used as LFOs. Blacet Binary Zone provides the sequence, and Metalbox Dual AD some envelopin'."

Click the image for the full size shot.

"I’m still wiring up the panels, but it’s almost completed. I need to order the fancy dials for the 10-turn pots on the Living VCOs, but they’re really expensive, so that may not happen soon. I’m also missing a couple small components that I’m ordering tonight. Overall though, I’m really happy with the way it’s turning out."

"Tried out the Buchla 292c clone with the rest of my modular tonight. Good times."
You might recognize the steampunk-esque panels from this post.

"Undrilled copper panels. They etched for over an hour in ferric chloride, then were patinated with liver of sulphur (which is still active and darkening the metal, actually).

DIY Buchla White Etching

Top: "Etched in Ferric for about an hour, wet sanded, and patinated with liver of sulphur and a touch of ammonia."

Bottom: "Got a new printer and had good luck with the PNP Blue paper. After this photo I touched up the toner transfer with some Stop-Out Varnish."

A bit steampunk.
