Destroyer by Trogotronic

Title link takes you to a post on Sendling, on the Destroyer by Trogotronic. I wasn't going to put this up as I already posted on Trogotronic, but when I saw this something immediately came to mind. Thomas Dolby and his custom MIDI controllers: one, two. The difference is these actually produce sound. Note this is not a slight on Thomas Dolby. I think it's pretty cool that he turns old devices into unique MIDI controllers. Hmm... with all the buzz around circuit bending and DIY, you'd actually think there was more modding of old non-synth equipment out there.

P.S. Don't miss the sample of the Destroyer on Sendling. No offense, but that is one of the most annoying sounds I have ever heard. Wow. : )

Trogotronic 333 vs Serge Creature

YouTube Published on Jun 15, 2012 by DJjondent

"This is primarily a test of the Trogotronic M Series 333 Eurorack module.
It's an envelope follower with an 9 "step" event sequencer.

An envelope follower takes an audio input and converts it into a control voltage.
This control voltage will rise and fall with the overall volume of the input signal.
The louder the input, the bigger the output of the envelope follower.

The trog works pretty well I think. I used the snazzy fx (Arduino based) ArdCore to supply the tune. The audio signals from the Ardcore weren't loud enough on their own to
trigger the 333 so I boosted the volume with a Circuit Abbey Gozinta

The setting for attack - uppermost right dial on the trog is pretty important to
get it to trigger well. If set too far clockwise the 333 may not respond.

Thanks to Matt from RhythmActive for the Trog 333, the ArdCore and the Gozinta

trogotronic - A Perilous Experiment

7/16/23 DEMO: Maestro Rhythm King MKIV (for sale) chops TTMC and Trogotronic

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Cfpp0

"This Rhythm King is the true King of rhythm machines because it has an internal modulation circuit that gates your external audio to correspond to the pattern of the beat. You have control over the modulation depth and volume. You have control over the beat volume and the balance between drums or cymbals. You can combine more than one pattern to generate new patterns. For this demo I am playing continuous notes on the TTMC 112, which CVS the 158 oscillators, and the 112 gates the Trogotronic m11 and also sends pressure to the drive input. The output goes to a 106 then to a passive Rucci matrix mixer (I was going to make the modulation circuit feedback on itself a bit, which sounds cool BTW) and into the modulation circuit where the Rhythm King slices and dices."

via this auction

"This is a rare Maestro Rhythm King Mark 4. It is VERY different from the more common and more colorful Maestro Rhythm King (we have it too if you want to buy it). The biggest difference is that the MKIV has an external audio input, which gets fed into a gate circuit that follows the rhythmic patterns of the preset pattern you choose on the drum machine. Check the video in our photos and cut to 2:45 to see and hear how it works.

You can blend the drum sound using a fader to go fully hats, to be mostly kick and toms, or anywhere in between. The volume for the external audio has its own volume fader, as does the drum volume, so you can also use it just to modulate audio and not use the drums. There is also a blend fader for the gate on the external audio, so you can dial in how much of an abrupt cut you want."

trogotronic c4 4 Channel Analog Audio Controller v5

video upload by

"20 years ago we introduced the Original 4 Channel Joystick Audio Controller. For the first 5 years most folks didn't even understand what it was. The next 5 the knockoffs came. Soon whole genres of the most disturbing music ever put to speakers was born of primitive fast-cut real-time multichannel switching.

The New v5 Features:
4x4 discreet 1/4" ins / outs
Electronic Control & 4 Discrete Analog Signal Paths
An Illuminated Full-Sized Ultra-Fast Switching Stick
Gate Signal Input
Remote Control Jack for m2 Footswitch Accessory
Modulator Button & Speed Control = Impossibly Fast Attacks
Independent Mode for each Channel = ON until OFF or OFF until ON

Ask anyone who knows: Trogotronic c4 still goes from zero to smoking hear-holes with NO BLEED like the knockoffs.

The Original remains the BEST."
