Analog Synth DIY VC-THF Demo

YouTube via Redled72
"Es handelt sich um ein spannungsgesteuertes Klangregelmodul für 2 Kanäle. Die Tiefen und die Höhen des Audiosignales können mit Hilfe von CV-Spannungen in einem Bereich von +/-16dB angehoben und gesenkt werden. Quasi ein spannungsgesteuerter Hoch und Tiefpass. Die Steuerkannäle können auch zusammengeschaltet werden. Steuersignale können invertiert und !invertiert angelegt werden. Im Beispiel wird nur 1VCO verwendet, daß Audiosignal durchläuft den Phaser, dann das VC-THF und dann den Moogfilter. Das VC-THF wird mit dem Sinussignal und dem Rechtecksignal des VCO gesteuert. Ein LFO moduliert das Moogfilter. Zusätzlich wird das Sägezahnsignal noch als Steuersignal für das Moogfilter verwendet."
Googlish:
"It is a sound rule voltage module for 2 channels. The depths and the heights of the audio signal can with the help of CV tensions in a range of + /-16dB be raised and lowered. Virtually a high-voltage and low pass. The Steuerkannäle can also be combined. Control signals can be inverted and! Be inverted. In the example, only 1VCO used audio signal that passes through the phaser, then the VC-THF and then Moogfilter. The VC-THF is the sine signal and the signal Rectangular VCO controlled. An LFO modulates the Moogfilter. Additionally, the Sägezahnsignal as control signal for the Moogfilter used."

Buchla Mixers on Buchla Tech

"With the release of the Buchla 206e, there's been some chatter about mixers. Evidently some people wanted to have the patch storage, but not the MIDI control for their 200e. But people more like me said they would like a 1 space all analog mixer for their system. This got me thinking, "what have the mixers been so far?"

206 "elegant" 2 x 3 channel mixers that are also summed to operate as a mono 6 channel one. It has mute and monitor switches on all channels.

205 2 x 5 in 4 out matrix mixers that also sum to make a simple 10 in 4 out one. Monitor switches on each input channel. Not exactly small at 3 panel spaces.

207 jam packed 6 input stereo mixer with manual pan on 4 channels and CV pan on 2. Pre amp. Monitor and mute switches on all channels. Monitor output on the front.

The 226 and 227 are quad interfaces that for the purpose of this discussion are irrelevant."

Roland Juno 106 "Junior" with LFO Triggering

YouTube via rolandsh1000

"A short demo of driving a Juno-106 from it's Patch Shift jack with an LFO. This can rapidly shift the patch that's loaded and, if keys are held down, the envelopes are retriggered. It's an interesting effect.

First, this Juno is obviously a chop job - I got the idea to do this from Henrik Nydell's terrific webpage which generally details the process. He called it a Junior-106, so that's what I call mine. It was quite a bit of work, but I like the 106 better in this size. I have photos on Flickr showing the insides of the Junior. It's snug in there, but it all works.

Second, the idea for driving the Patch Shift with an LFO came from a blog posting by Kevin Lightner, synthtech extraordinaire, on the moogmusic forums. So all credit to him for this nifty trick."

You might remember the Junior 106 from these posts.

King Capitol Punishment SleepDrone basic

"Here is the SleepDrone 5 from King Capitol Punishment. Built like a tank (heavy enough to kill an intruder), the Sleep Drone 5 feels like it was made for a military operation.

There are four oscillators, four LED's, four individual outputs and a main output. There are also eleven knobs and thirteen switches.

Instructions: Plug it in, twist knobs, have fun. bigcitymusic.com"

Vukodlak Productions- Hammond Vibrato Scanner

YouTube via ZmajSnoshaj

"Vukodlak Productions brings you "Hammond Vibrato Scanner". An musical adventure into the removal/disassembly/cleaning/and reassembly of a vintage vibrato scanner from a 1968 Hammond T-212 spinet organ. I spent many hours on this part of my restoration project in both learning about the scanner and it's design and making this music video, which in my opinion, is my most unique and comprehensive work to date.
Again I have many "thank you's" to give out on this one. First and foremost credit goes to Steve Leigh of SL-Prokeys for our 2 hour phone conversation regarding the vibrato scanner *among other things*... your advice and wisdom have made this and many past projects possible. You're a rare man Steve.
I'd also like to thank my Dad again for putting up with me and for showing interest in my work. God is good.. all the time ;) Another well-deserved round of applause to Christina Oldi of Greece for her master craftsmanship of jewelery and her insight into the finer details of my projects... and to Johnnie Shaffer for loaning me a lamp to work on my organs with *I love this little lamp Johnnie ;)*. And to Peter Hopkins for coming by during the most critical moments and laying waste to my progress :p *I need to be pulled away sometimes bro... hehe*.
Music credtis for this production go to the usual greats with one new addition. Title song is by Texas Blood "End Of The World"... you guys have been very patient and I thank you. First song is Life's Decay's "Gloria"... a wonderful track that has taste of their "Inksterna" song and aftertastes of "Descence"... excellent music guys :)) Second song is by friend and idol Fabio Frizzi for his "Hotel Lament" from the cult classic horror film "The Beyond", the second film of the unofficial "Gates of Hell" trilogy... you are an enigma to me Mr. Frizzi :))
Third track of the video belongs to The Horrorist, Mr. Oliver Chesler. Big thanks for his permission to use "Wire To The Ear" to finish of this work. You are a grandmaster of circuit bending and all things musically electronic Mr. Chesler ;) :))
This video has taken me a ridiculous amount of time to produce and much drama has transpired as a result of it so sadly, I may be taking a break from editing for awhile to join the ranks of the living world, but will indefinetely be back for more ;)
Enjoy."
