Vermona Perfourmer & DRM1 - acidic

"This was going good earlier in the week, but I think I tired of it or something cause when I finally got around to filming it, I'd lost the spark. The recording sounds like crud, too, on account of the camera's mic. Anyhow, I'm posting it because I like the Perfourmer patches, and I think they show off the tasty filters. Also was trying a nice trick on the 01v where you can gang a bunch of sliders together to another.. Since I don't use 13/14 and 15/16 when recording, I used them to gang some channels together. It's pretty neat -- if you set the ganging when the 15/16 slider is at 6db (full on) for instance, the other (motorized) faders in the gang will fade from their current location to -INFdb and back to their max when you fade any of the gang up and down. That little experiment cost me some flexibility though since any member controls the others, so I'll probably have to work on that. Excuses, excuses.... Onward to the video... "

Buchla is Love

"Quick sketch as this image was in my head for WEEKS and I needed to put this down.

Comic rendition of Alessandro Cortini and his Buchla.

Better one is in the works, as this was first drawn without a clear idea what the hell a Buchla looked like exactly ;)

Also pretty sure hugging a Buchla is not as cuddly as this :P ow."

Train of thought

Train of thought from Hans-Jörg Scheffler on Vimeo.
"Footage was taken looking outside the window from the Shinkanze on the way from Hamamatsu to Tokyo by my good friend Tommy Snyder.
I manipulated the raw footage in V-Track and composed the soundtrack with the new Omnisphere Softsynth from Spectrasonics for all instruments including the drums and vocals.
The vocals are a sample of a british boys choir singing the words Agnus Dei.
I totally deconstructed the syllables in Omnisphere to create a new texture."

Make Noise Quad Multi-Mode Gates

http://makenoisemusic.com/
see this post for a video
"A huge riff on the original Buchla 292 Quad Lo Pass Gate, including a Mix Out and containing no fewer than 8 vactrols! The QMMG offers the additional features of High Pass Gate mode, Voltage Controlled Feedback, Direct Coupling (for processing of Control Voltages) and Normalizations so that multiple channels may easily be used together to create Bandpass Gates, steeper HP or LP Gates or even something like a traditional Synthesizer Voice Architecture.

The voltage controlled feedback is routed differently in each mode.
In VCA mode it is routed to provide slightly non-linear GAIN. Daisy chain multiple channels for voltage controlled clipping. In BOTH Mode the feedback is routed to provide DAMPING of the ringing vactrols. The effect of adding feedback in BOTH mode is not unlike placing your hand upon the head of a drum, while striking, thus allowing the user to control how much the Vactrols ring. In the LP and HP modes, the feedback is routed to provide a highly unstable, non-linear resonance, which at higher settings, will clip asymmetrically. The filter is slippery and smooth at low resonance settings, but it cuts like a choir of daggers at high resonance settings.

The benefit of Direct Coupling is that a channel of the QMMG could be used to attenuate or amplify an incoming CV before applying to another channel. The mixing section is set-up so that inserting a plug at the output socket of any given channel removes that channel from the mix, therefore you could use one half of the QMMG for voltage controlled mixing of CVs to apply to the other half being utilized for signal processing.

This module is 24HP and consumes 60mA worth of current. The price is TBD.
