Modular 2003 Conference Review by mosc

Note the year is 2003, so this one is a trip back in time. You can find the full review by mosc on this electro-music.com thread. It's good to see electro-music.com threads do not disappear over time.

"The conference was attended by musicians and music technologists from many countries. They heard papers on a very wide range of topics. There were papers about Linux as a platform for music and audio, new concepts in musical instrument interfaces, using swarm theory to automatically generate free jazz, "circuit bending", and even huge concrete acoustic receivers built in England during World War 1 to listen to airplanes coming in over the channel. The meeting was provided with one of the first public looks at the highly anticipated new Nord Modular G2 Synthesizer, as well as reviews of several pieces of music software including MAX/MSP, Super Collider, JMAX, and CSOUND."

Buchla Matrix Mixer Clone

via vtl5c3 in this electro-music.com thread where you will find updates.

"In preparation for an upcoming surround sound gig, I built an 8x8 matrix mixer, using the Buchla 205 schematic as my guide. It was a fairly easy build - most of the wiring I did directly on the pots, creating a column style buss with them. That's really all a matrix mixer is - rows & columns, like an excel spreadsheet or an HTML table. You have your 8 inputs, that you can bring up at different volumes on each of the 8 outputs. In my first audio test, I simply connected 8 oscillators, using different waveforms and each running at a different frequency. Fading the inputs in and out on one of the output columns reminded me of wavetable synthesis, but very manual. I think you can do some incredible sound collage with a tool like this.

I'll try to record a few samples later on. I'll post the press & peel pcb layout, once I make some corrections."

Sequencer hysteria

YouTube via bubagoo
"I added a few inputs to my sequencer that allow you to advance the playback one step at a time using external clock sources. I connected two independent clocks to the sequencer. One is telling it to go forward the other is telling it to go backwards. As i adjust the two clocks you can see them fight for control of the sequence. Pretty simple but cool effect."
