More is Less: Moogerfoogers vs the kitchen sink

"A couple more toys, some new ones, some old ones. A couple more noises, some cool, some annoying. A couple minutes too much, it gets quite repetative.

Everything was recorded in one take, no overdubs. MPC1000 sequences the MBase01 and triggers the DSI Evolver which also sequences my Paia 9700s modular synth. LFOs cross modulate throughout, everything tried to sync itself to the main beat of the MBase01 by tracking the envelope that the FIltered Coffee generates.

Pretty much, this is most my current analog gear working together.

Stirring Up Some Filtered Coffee Self Resonation

video upload by dkimcg

"I made this video while testing out the filter's self oscillation and the CV ins and outs on the Analogue Solutions Filtered Coffee. This time I did things right, and the audio syncs up, unlike the 1st Filtered Coffee video. In case you're curious, it was a timecode issue, 30fps vs 29.97 (drop frame).

LFO1 on the Analogue Solutions Filtered Coffee is the master clock here. It triggers the Jomox MBase01 kick drum through the Moog CP-251 (a neat way of triggering the kick via CV control) The CP-251 splits and combines a few signals and send them out to the Moogerfoogers (FreqBox, RingMod, and MuRF), the sample and hold of the noise controlling the RingMod and FreqBox frequency inputs is the most recognizable sound the CP-251 controls. It's LFO is also controlled with the LFO from the Filtered Coffee. So...basically, the self modulation of the filter's resonance is the tone generator that gets everything rolling. Well, except for the MBase which kicks the TResonator's envelope which combines the kick and the Coffee's self oscillation. Then it goes through the FreqBox, into the RingMod, and out the MuRF to be compressed, space echoed, and recorded through compressors. Three tracks were generated/recorded and mixed with some additional compression and a little reverb, nothing else. The reverb adds some depth and stereo imaging, it sounds extra reverby since the Space Echo was doing it's thing with the spring reverb and delays. The levels get a bit hot, and the T-Resonator barely stays in control...what a beast, I love it. It gets a bit messy in there at time, but I think there are a couple cool parts, and you get to see more of what the Analogue Solutions Phobos Filtered Coffee can do to create sound as well as subtracting from sound. I really love the feedback you can create from the coffee, tres, and space echo...so many types of feedback. I love audio feedback...."

Yusynth on Synth.nl

Synth.nl is documenting his progress on the construction of a Yusynth DIY modular. You might remember his similar posts on the ASM-2 and more previously posted here. The posts are definitely worth checking out if you are curious about one person's experience in creating a DIY modular synth.

The following is a small excerpt from the latest post: "I made quite some progress today. I almost finished the VCO and LFO modules now. I'm still missing 4 resistors and 4 trim potmeters, but I will get them next week. I did correct an error as well. I mounted two 10K resistors on a spot where 18K should have been. I found this out because I had two 18K resistors left ;) So I started looking where they were supposed to be. Always good to do these kind of cross checks in the end. In the picture on the left you see all the modules I have so far. Still a lot to go."
