"1 40106 Clock drives a bunch of computer shit!

The 4024 is providing differant divisions to differant NAND Gates. The 4017 on the far left is doing a kind of off-on function.

Speeding up & slowing down the master clock changes the output from video game-ish sequences we can see being played on the 4024 LEDs (lower down, to the right X3) The knob in the middle (Blue) controls the 4023 processor, all the way CW it sounds like a cheap LPF! Turning it CCW lowers the freq. & increases 'clickyness' until things start to sound like overly granulated shards.

This is basically the same patch as the previous video, but, I've patched the 4023 in & the last one used 2 differant 40106 clocks, here I used another division from the 4024 in place of the seperate oscillator."

moogerfoogers controlled by Reason 4.0

"moogerfooger MF-107 FreqBox and MF-101 LP Filter controlled by Reason to create a monophonic moogerfooger synthesizer. The Thor Polysonic synthesizer converts MIDI and Reason CV signals into DC signals like MOTU Volta, and using a MOTU 896HD interface, the control signals are routed to the moogerfoogers. The Thor programming matrix allows the signals to be scaled so that the oscillator responds to a musical scale. Also used is a MF-104Z Analog Delay."

You can skip this and the last post, as any post, if not interested.

Just trippin' on the undersides of synths at the moment. :)

That's the battery case open with the lid on the side. Lot's of support bars on the bottom.

Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Analog Synth

via this auction
"About This Unit (From The Manufacturer):

Mopho is a compact and affordable—but powerful—monophonic analog synthesizer. The voice architecture is identical to a single voice of the Prophet '08, but with a couple of unique twists to distinguish it from its award-winning sibling. We have added two sub-octave generators—one per oscillator—for additional girth and crushing basses.

It also has an audio input that lets you process external audio and mix Mopho's own audio output back in pre-filter for feedback effects that can range from subtle distortion to extreme skronk. The Push It button is a manual trigger that lets you play a specific note or latch notes and sequences on. It can also step through a sequence to play short melodic lines without a keyboard. Of course, Mopho can also be used with a MIDI controller or external sequencer.

Mopho is fully programmable and all the parameters can be tweaked from the front panel. The four Assignable Parameters controls are assignable per program for optimum performance control. A free editor is available for Mac OS and Windows to facilitate programming. (And, if you already have a Prophet '08, most of Mopho's parameters can be controlled from the Prophet's front panel via MIDI!)

Mopho is perfect for people who want to learn the ins and outs of real analog synthesis without spending a bundle, DJs looking to add some old school sonic spice to their setups, and musicians who will appreciate a great-sounding, very portable mono synth.

* Affordable, fully programmable mono synth with a 100% analog signal path.
* Classic, real analog sound—including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filter.
* Process external audio through the filter and envelopes.

* Just 7.5" x 5" (19.05 cm x 12.7 cm).
* Free editor for Mac OS and Windows."

Note the rubber feet on the bottom are larger on top in order to slightly tilt the unit.
