Complex Doepfer Analog LFO

Complex Doepfer Analog LFO from Isotope Of Me on Vimeo.
"LFOs are great. Modulation is the heart of many good sounds, but a single LFO can get boring. Up, Down, Up, Down. So why not mix 2 of them together? Here's an example of a slightly more complex pattern made by summing 2 midi synchronized LFOs at the Linear VCA.

The patch is extremely basic, a simple 2 OSC saw fed to a 24 DB lowpass filter. the output of the combined LFOs is brought into the secondary VC input on the LPF creating a syncopated pattern."

"The awesome Genoqs Octopus sequencer controlling the even more awesome Buchla 200e and 100 modular synth. Sorry about the crappy audio .... i'll upload more after i figure out how to make the audio better. I couldn't resist putting this up."

It's definitely a Buchla day...

"www.ProGuitarShop.com- Subdecay Prometheus Resonant Filter Pedal-
The Prometheus is a voltage controlled 12dB filter which can be manipulated by playing dynamics or an internally generated signal.
Subdecay Prometheus Resonant Filter Pedal - Everything You Want in a Filter Pedal. * Loads of headroom * Reasonable size (measures about 3.7x4.7 inches) * Highpass, Bandpass, and Lowpass filtering with adjustable intensity (resonance) * Forward and reverse envelope following * Sample/Hold step filtering based on 3 different wave forms. * No special power supplies required. Operates with a single 9 volt battery or standard 9 volt adapter.

Subdecay Prometheus Resonant Filter Pedal -- Hidden Features * The LFO rate can be adjusted to run much faster than the the step rate. This can be used to create very interesting arpeggiation. * The Depth knob can push the filter cutoff frequency outside of the audio range. This can be useful to create a slow attack effect. * The step rate can be turned up high enough for smooth modulation. This can be used to create and autofilter effect, that can sound similar to a phaser or tremolo. * A fixed filter effect is possible by turning the depth knob down all the way, and using the Frequency knob to set the filter cutoff."

Looks like it's turning out to be a Buchla 200e day. Must be due to my dream last night. Hmm... Maybe it was a good thing I didn't get that 200e, maybe Don will send me one for some permanent advertising on the site. That would definitely be in my dreams...

Atmel Project AVR Game Console Chiptune Music Demo

via Fra: "I made a little videogame post taht you could be itnerested in:

BUILD YOUR OWN 8bit console/synth http://blog.gamersweb.it/

UZEBOX is a retro-minimalist homebrew game console easy and fun to assemble. It is based on an AVR 8-bit general purpose microcontroller made by Atmel and games can be easely programmed in C.

Uzebox got a Midi port for Chiptuners out there and also features a UzeSynth!"

Uze Synth video:

YouTube via uze6666.
"The Uzebox is a homebrew game console made out of resistors and only two chips: an ATmega644 and an AD725 RGB-to-NTSC converter.

This video demonstrates the system kernel's four channels wavetable-based "synthesizer" and the MIDI interface that allows composition of music straight on the console.

Important disclaimer: Since I'm a lousy chiptune composer, all songs are transcriptions of 8-bit gaming classics! Hope they bring your back fond memories. :)

Everything will be open source and open hardware. Look for my other Uzebox videos and please rate if your liked!
