Vermona MARS fattened !

YouTube via Jeeboo007
"How to fatten my Vermona M.A.R.S. :D

A nice example of how useful and savage can be the Vermona MARS filter with its so special resonance sound.
Im using a bass patch with high resonance on the filter. This sound is processed by the Ohmicide distortion by Ohmforce, then goes in the MobilOhm still by Ohmforce team, then ends in a sonitus delay for the space thing.
Have fun ! :)"

Richard Lainhart - "No Other Time" Buchla 200e and Haken Continuum

"Friends: on Saturday October 3, 2009, at Re:Soundings in Valley Falls, NY, Richard Lainhart will present the world premiere of 'No Other Time', a full-length intermedia performance designed for a large reverberant space, combining live analog electronics performance in four-channel playback and high-definition computer-animated film projection. Lainhart will be accompanying his cycle of four new abstract films, whose imagery is inspired by the organic processes of nature, with his Buchla 200e/Haken Continuum modular analog synthesizer system.

"No Other Time" has been created with the support of the New York State Council on the Arts.

"I really like this gear. The x0xb0x is loaded with SokkOS (i show some specials of it). The TR-505 plays some preset patterns (pattern group A). The 4pole adds distortion and some filtering."

Analog Synth DIY Percussions Controller Preview

YouTube via Redled72
"Heute geht es um ein interessantes und sehr flexibel einsetzbares Modul, den Percussions-Controller.
Mittels Mikrofon können zB. Percussionsklänge erfasst und anschließend verschiedene Steuersignale gewonnen werden. Das Modul liefert folgende Signale:

-positives Kontursignal (AD regelbar)
-negative Kontursignal (AD regelbar),
-verstärktes Audiosignal,
-Hüllkurve (positiv),
-Gatesignal (positiv),
-Trigger (positiv) mit einer Impulslänge von 20ms

Eine LED visualisiert das Gatesignal. Hüllkurve (Attack + Decay) kann per Potis geregelt werden. Verstärkung (Mikrofon) ist regelbar zw. 1 & 1000."
