"Here's a small clip featuring one of my latest VCF modules. This is a wasp-like filter using my voltage controlled oscillator variable resistors (vcovrs) to control the frequency and resonance of the state variable filter.

In the video I have a single oscillator running through the filter while another oscillator is syncing the vcovr which is controlling the filter frequency. The resonance is set at max and is self-oscillating, which is very unusual since state variable filters are not supposed to self-oscillate. I am just adjusting the frequency knobs and showing the different audio outputs. Not much to it! :)"

"two Kjaerhaus Spectra soft synths one with AD replicant the other woth AD Dubstation against arturia moog modular low end woth Ableton reverb , all with a military drumbeat from Puremagnetik purplekit tweked with audio damage Automaton - not a finished song more of a mood for some one to add on to"

"I kind of thought it has a Twin Peaks feel to it of you remember that show , oh Lara where is the Log Lady???? if you can't tell I'm worried that sleeze McCain is gonna win, what a tragedy if that occurs... also because of the abrupt ending it works better as a loop , but then maybe that is part of the angst, i.e an abrupt ending"
BTW, what's up with Texas?

Total System Point Never - Power In That Which Compels You

"Total System Point Never is Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never / Astronaut / Infinity Window on polyphonic synthesizers and Vinnie Paternostro of Total System Failure and Sonic Suicide Squad on tenor sax. This disc sounds like John Zorn getting f'd up by Tangerine Dream, somewhere between free jazz skronk and future retro synth. This release represents the rebirth of snapped in half, the future is now."

Navs' Modular Lab: New Blog!

http://navsmodularlab.blogspot.com/

You might remember Nav's from these various posts featuring sound tests and comparisons of different modules. He'll be transferring over the old tests to the new blog over the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for them. For now he has a post up featuring the Bleep Labs Thingamagoop running through a Cwejman MMF-1 and a Roland Space Echo followed by a Cwejman VCO-2RM.

New Rhodes Chroma Registry Page: Model 1611 (Computer Interface)

via Chris Ryan on the Rhodes Chroma List:

"The instrument registry has been a popular part of the site; in addition to the more than 500 Chromas and Expanders listed (over 200 of which were supplied directly by owners), it accounted for over 5500 page views during the last twelve months, more than 7200 if the Polaris registry is included.

A lot of the instruments in the registry came from Fender's warranty list, a copy of which was supplied by Ken Ypparila [21030229]. This list also includes the serial numbers of the computer interface kit, Model 1611, which were registered by owners. This kit comprised the Fender Music System and the interface card for the Apple II computer. I thought it would be interesting to start a new page for this part of Chroma history. For now, the list contains the interfaces for which registration cards were returned to Fender, along with the serial number for my interface (which was stolen along with my computer over twenty years ago), 27 in total. The highest serial number in the list is 16110219, which was mine; so it seems that this was a production run far more limited than even the Chroma--which is perhaps not surprising, as this was among the first computer interfaces for any such musical instrument.

If you have, or had, the Chroma Computer Interface, feel free to send me the serial number, if available (as I no longer have my interface card, I'm not sure whether the number appears on it; but it is shown on the diskette), and some information about it. It would be interesting to know how many of these kits still exist, and if any of them may even be in use. (If any are, I have one or two diskettes I could supply with some original patches I haven't heard since the 1980s.)"
