Virtual DIY CV Interface Modules

via RH

"It's a CV generation application that I have written (not just a graphic - this baby moves, scrolls and loves to be touched!). Essentially there are 6 independent oscillators and a sequencer. You can choose the waveform for each osc (11 types including all the usual plus overall min, overall max + others - you can even draw in your waveform too), control amplitude, frequency, offset (midpoint), upper and lower clip levels (all by MIDI CC or touching the screen). Then you can choose which oscillators to route out through the tobacco tin and into the real-world modules." - RH

Binary sequence

Binary sequence from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"I want a Blacet Binary Zone, but the module isn't available in Euro format. So, I've tried to recreate it using what I already have.

In this patch:

The Low Pass Filter in a Frostwave Resonator is set to self-oscillate. It's then sent to a ring modulator (a Frostwave Blue Ringer).

The Mix Out on a Doepfer A-143-1 is sent to the Frequency CV IN on a Plan B ELF LFO.

The Square Out from the LFO is sent to a multiple, and from there to:

1. the Trigger In on a Doepfer A-160 Clock Divider.
2. the Gate In on a Doepfer A-140 Envelope Generator.

The /2, /4, /8 and /16 outputs on the 160 are sent to Inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 on a Doepfer A-138c Polarizing Mixer.

The out the mixer is sent to the top half of a Doepfer A-170 Dual Slew Limiter, and from there to the CV In on the Blue Ringer.

The /32 out on the 160 is sent to the CV In on the top have of the Doepfer A-150 Dual Voltage Switch. The 160's /64 output is sent to the first I/O jack (the second I/O is left empty). The output of this channel is sent to an attenuator, and from there to the Low Pass Frequency CV In on the Resonator.

The output from the ring modulator is sent to the top VCA in a Doepfer A-132-3 Dual Lin/Log VCA (the Lin/Log switch is switched for a moment at 2:00), and from there to an FMR RNC (which is not doing anything to the quiet notes) and then to the computer. No other outboard, besides the compressor.

The output of the 140 is sent to CV IN on that VCA, which you can hear at 0:44.

It does not work with prior Nord Modular hardware."

1978 Baldwin Fanfare Deluxe Organ Demo Record

"A vintage demo flexidisc for the Baldwin Fanfare Deluxe home organ."

Update via Milo Johnson in the comments:
"I used to sell these at a Baldwin store in Daytona Beach back when they were new in the late Seventies, and as surprising as it might be, this was a monstrously good instrument that I would love to own today. Forget the "Fun Machine" rhythms and one-finger accompaniments, the actual sounds of the organ section, string section, and and in particular brasses, were fantastic. And I'm NOT an organ fan to begin with so for me to offer any kind of praise like this is way out of character, but this was a really complex, deep, and forward-thinking instrument and the last of the big Baldwin organ series made before they went to digital microprocessor instruments. I didn't notice any performer credits, but just listening to it I'd be willing to bet this was Baldwin demonstrator Bill Pedrick who played for this demo and Bill could make these things sit up and do tricks, truly a tremendous player that attracted customers to the store whenever he dropped by. Thanks for posting this!"
