This Should Have Been a Keytar

"The Doctor Click can be driven by both steady and wildly varying sources, including click tracks, tape codes (Roland, Oberheim, Linn, etc.), synthesizer clocks, live drumming, or its own internal crystal-based clock. It does not have MIDI.

The outputs consist of nine timebases (7 are fixed, two are variable), two rhythmically triggered envelopes or LFO's (12V, .5V), trigger, trigger to click converter, inverter, delay, start, and step programming functions.

The Doctor Click click has two separate channels for producing the two variable timebases each with its own set of rhythm selector switches. The first row of labels is the timebase interpretation (ie. how many clicks) and the second row is notation interpretation (eg. quarter note, eighth-note triplet, etc). While that might sound confusing, it should make sense when it's sitting in front of you. Channel 1 (four bars to 64th triplet) has Envelope 1, Gate, Time Lag, and the Auto Programmer. Channel 2 (1/4 note to 32nd note) has Envelope 2 and the headphone output (which can also be used as a second arpeggiator clock).

With its extensive masking features, it can be synced to audio such as drum loops or drum machines without clock outputs.

It also has recording and programming features (which I've never used) that can store up to 1,000 events.

The gates and triggers have adjustable pulse width, and can inverted for either falling or rising edge. The envelope outputs can be used as gates or additional clocks.

Inputs: Pulse, Tape Code A/B, Tape Code C, External Metronome Trigger, Inverter In, Delay In, Reset, Play, Enter

Outputs: 12X (Roland CR68/78, SCI), 24X (MemoryMoog, MXR), 48X (LinnDrum, Roland MC-4, E-Mu), 64X (PPG), 96X (Oberheim DSX, DMX, DX), 348X (Fairlight), DIN Sync (Roland x0xbox, Korg), Gate (5V/15V), Trigger (5v/15V), Trigger to Click, Time Lag, Envelope 1, Envelope 2, Headphone, Metronome, Inverter Out, Delay Out, 5V Start, Ground Start

Knobs: Channel 1 (PW, Attack, Decay, Amount, Gate PW), Channel 2 (PW, Attack, Decay, Amount, Headphone Level), Metronome Level, Delay Amount"

"Block scheme, patch selection tutorial added, defective links repaired"

"The block schematic was made by Enrico Gremes. He made it poster size. It would be nice to have it hanging at the wall in the studio. The program file selection illustration was made by Eus Veldhuisen."

Synths Demo

YouTube via oxygene65
"Quick improvised demonstration of various synths in action. As usual I've gone for a Tangerine Dream / Film Soundtrack type of feel. This time, for better sound quality, I've recorded the audio thru the desk into wavelab, and tried to sync up this audio track with the video. It does go slightly out of sync. The equipment used were a Yamaha AN1x, Roland JP8000, Korg MS2000, Elka Synthex, Yamaha SY55, Roland XV5080 and Roland JV1080."

acid jam - machinedrum + mpc4000 + alpha juno + futureretro

YouTube via radambe
"4am acid synthesis jam
finally got a few things hooked up nicely.
gear used = elektron machinedrum sps-1 (non-UW) Mk2, FutureRetro Revolution on the 303 bassline, roland mks-50 alpha juno rack, waldorf microwave2, akai mpc4000 for sequencing the mks and waldorf. When i turn to my left I'm leaning over to grab the sliders and knobs on a novation remote zero sl which is being used to control the mks-50. It was fairly easy to get that thing programmed for sysex control of the mks. The only thing I don't like is the steppyness of the filter sweep(s) which is caused by the lack of midi resolution. This is easily confirmable when you route the mks's lfo to sweep the filter and it's perfectly smooth. I'm wishing the mks was easily moddable with some cv inputs. Most people seem to not think very much of the alpha junos. I feel quite the opposite. The mks speaks to me."
