"similar to the previous video... showing how ableton live's drum racks and simple waves can be used to send CV.

this is all just the frostwave under CV control, making a nice racket.

plug-ins used:
the o-scope is a demo of schope by schwa at http://stillwellaudio.com/ . fuzzplus2 (fuzz) and rough rider (compressor) from http://www.audiodamage.com/ and TAL-dub-II delay from http://kunz.corrupt.ch/ ."

The WSG Synthitar

(click for mouse-overs and more shots)
"This is a synth guitar I built from a second hand First Act mini electric guitar that I stripped down, and rebuilt using Ray Wilson's WSG synth schematics. With only one Wacky/Weird/Zany voice, and without the oddness filter (it can plug into guitar pedals for effects and filters.)
Two ribbon controllers on the neck control the wacky and weird oscillator frequencies. Controls where the pickup used to be effect the Zany oscillator, and switches near the neck control the wacky send and range.
Its black with a metal flake flame paint job was my first flame project with the airbrush."

machineARIA

YouTube via rubencoen79
"Air, although ethereal, can move matter. Air, which appears most unsubstantial and immaterial, moves matter, moves leaves, and moves flowers.

MachineARIA is an installation that invites the viewer to contemplate a hybrid ecosystem - natural and artificial - of electromechanically modified plants. These augmented plants contain the source of the wind that makes them sway and caresses them.

A custom circuit with a PIC microcontroller is connected to five motors with their propellers and LED's, each one grafted to the culm of a bamboo plant. The motors and LED's are turned on and off sequentially: the resulting motion simulates a delicate breeze wind blow ."

Glitch Labs

Remember the "Sample Smasher" pictured below? It looks like this will be one of the first products from Glitch Labs, a new Circuit Bending design company from GoodVillian. The core website is coming soon, however the forum appears to be up listing a few items including the "Sample Smasher Model 100" pictured below, the "Sample Smasher Model 500," and the "Glitch Modular System." There are details on the Model 500 but not the Modular System.

RandomQ960

YouTube via davidryle
"Randomizing the timing to the Synthesizers.com Q960 step sequencer by using a Noise Generator into a Sample & Hold then the output voltage to an Instrument Interface module. Tweak it just right and you get a random gate pulse for the shift input on the Q960 sequencer.
This track also uses the Pan module to give a stereo ping pong effect from two separate oscillator, filter, envelope and amplifier voices. Two hard synchronized LFO's sculpted the filter even more for a tighter pulse sound. A Ring modulator and tuning the oscillator voices in octaves gave a variety to the voices. The Trigger bus module gave accent selection on one filter voice. All modules are Arrick Robotics synthesizers.com. The reverb is a Lexicon MX200."
