square wave: '6 cycles 7'


YouTube via tyhodson
"New video for the track '6 cycles 7' from an upcoming album by square_wave. The audio is comprised of two tracks of dotcom modular synth (low frequency rumble and slowly modulating resonant drone), processed hand-held radio, TR-606, and Serge modular synth (the drip-drop ploppy sounds). All analog, of course. The track is inspired by early 'Back & Forth'-era Skinny Puppy and other minimal electronic music of the late 70s/early 80s. The video is very much an homage to the cut-up video work and visual stylings of Cabaret Voltaire's Doublevision period.

CS01 MIDI modification

"This shows a Yamaha CS01 having a Highly Liquid Midi mod added. The kit was shipped quickly and was easy to put together. For those of you that have a CS01 and are handy with a solder iron I highly recommend the conversion."

Semi-Modular Moog Improvisation Parts 1 to 3


YouTube via Rhythmicons
"This is an instrumental improvisation featuring the MicroMoog, MiniMoog Voyager, CP251 Freqbox Ringmod Delay and THeremin. THe MicroMoog's audio is running through the Freqbox and Ringmod and Delay out to the PA. CP 251 is sending sample and hold to the Freqbox. The Voyager is running directly to the pa with a little reverb. The theremin is running into a Roland Cube 30 Bass amp (for delay) and to the PA. Hope you enjoy, the camera stopped the video after 29 Minutes."

XR VCO in-depth


YouTube via GVNZ9
"Demo of one XR VCO. The signal pass thru a 24 dB LP filter (left full open) and a VCA. Inside my synth there are two of those VCO, but during this themo you will hear only one.

If you are interested in the original XR VCO project (by Thomas Henry) you will find it here:

improv with rds8000 + juno-60 + doepfer A-100 + DIY drum trigger + ribbon controller


YouTube via analogueak
"I say a few things about the patch at the beginning-
the main difference in this video is the delay time modulation using the drum trigger and doepfer sequencer. A voltage controlled oscillator (in it's low range) has it's square wave output routed to the trigger/sample hold input of the rds8000 digital delay. This oscillator's pitch is controlled by the doepfer sample and hold module which is triggered by the clock divider and has random voltage for it's source. So, the time of the delay is changed with each hit of the drum trigger. I took a few minutes to get the doepfer and the juno sort of harmonizing before I filmed a short improvisation. me gusta automation."

Baby Blue Circuit Bent Synth with Keyboard

via this auction
"here is "Baby Blue".....designed with the details and looks of the classics, but in one micro package...... measuring 12" across, by 9" wide, and 6" high, this unit is compact but big on functions.....it was quite the challenge to bring together five separate circuits, switching, patch bay, and a fully functional 23 key toy piano together....the result is a one of kind synthesizer that cannot [can?] produce some awesome sounds....best of all you can feed your other bends/guitar/bass/keyboard into the patch bay for some sick sounds!!!....this thing will surely turn some heads!

check out the hardware:
-the chassis is built from solid select pine wood, it has been sanded to an extremely smooth finish , and stained with a hand rubbed mid walnut finish...all joints have been glued/brad nailed/puttied for superior strength....
-the control plates are all metal.....galvanized steel on the angular control panel, aluminum side control panels...each panel has been hand painted baby blue with a tough enamel.....all hardware screws are stainless steel.....
-the unit is built with the highest quality parts.....there are 9 enclosed switchcraft jacks in the patch bay, each with stainless steel jack nuts....8 micro alps toggle switches.....2 micro momentary push button switches..... a mix of 6 bournes/alpha potentiometers.....6 vintage styled knobs with aluminum inserts...and 6 3mm yellow LED's......
-there are four handbuilt analog circuits and two bent digital circuits.....each has been built or bent with silver solder, for the best signal transfer and solder point strength....

here are the unit's details:
the unit is comprised of a fuzz circuit, a 20 second sampler, a pulse effect/LFO, and a notch filter....each effect can be patched together (in a number of different arrangements) to produce some wild tones and effects.....patch bay order or arrangement will impact the overall sound many different ways.....each effect can be used seperately or in conjunction with one another, as each effect has an ON or BYPASS mode, meaning you can leave it entirely patched up, turning each effect on or off with out having to switch cords around or interrupt the sound.....very cool.....

controls are such:
FUZZ: IN/OUT on the patchbay, toggle ON/BYPASS, and a knob for THICKNESS/GAIN/WEIRD RESULTS
LOOPER/SAMPLER: IN/OUT on patchbay, toggle LOOP/SINGLE, a toggle for STORE/OVERWRITE SAMPLE, a toggle for RECORD HOLD, a pushbutton for SINGLE PLAY, a pushbutton for MOMENTARY RECORD, and a knob for LOOP RATE, loop duration is interval ON/OFF/ON
KEYBOARD: OUT on patchbay, toggle ON/OFF, VOLUME/GAIN/WEIRD RESULTS knob, and a MASTER PITCH knob, witch will bring you from crushing lows to earsplitting highs
PULSE/LFO: interchangeable but different sounding IN/OUT on the patchbay, toggle ON/BYPASS, a knob for RATE which will produce slow throbs in lower settings and speedy staccatos, well into to a blended LFO
NOTCH FILTER: IN/OUT on the patch bay, toggle ON/BYPASS and FILTER toggle,and a knob for FREQUENCY SWEEP" vids here
