* In August, I shot an interview with musician Chris Wild aka Igor Amokian. He talks about how he developed an interest in circuit bending, discusses the mindset behind it, and demonstrates several of his toys on camera.

This is Part One of a 40 minute interview, which is interspersed with live footage from a show Chris performed with an experimental jazz ensemble named Skyline Electric at Little Joy Bar @ Echo Park.

"Here's how my modular synth looks today - I finally finished enough working modules to fill all the slots."

"4x4 matrix mixer and bipolar feedback grid

Evin 209 provides four different mixes of four signal inputs. Each output row can be switched between unipolar (zero to max) and bipolar (negative max to zero to positive max) mix behavior. The module is DC-coupled so that you may also mix control signals this way.

An expansion header is also provided on the rear of the module. It currently connects to a m'79 Stilton Adaptor for true Feedback Console operation (the inputs and outputs of each module are normalled together, so a complex mix of a four-pedal feedback loop can be finely tuned). This header will also allow expansion with any other Feedback Console devices to be designed, such as VCAs or envelope extractors."

Update: you might remember the evin 209 from this post.

"This is a short tutorial on building multiple clusters and automatically switching between them. This is useful for building song structures or moving between songs in a live performance. It may be a bit confusing for people who don't have an Octopus to follow some of the button-pressing ;)"

Scott Bernardi PT2399 VC echo Part 2 (Probably a better example)

YouTube via Crashlander42. follow-up to these posts.
"This is another example of the Scott Bernardi PT2399 VC echo. This is probably a better example of the module than my first video of it. I'm modulating the delay time with the wogglebug, which is clocked to midi."

"Very basic polyphonic organ with built in speaker. Has a really neat capacitive touch pitch bend plate that salvages an otherwise useless piece of gear. This one has been modified with an AC adapter."
