Power Starve - XOR - VC Comparator Pt. 1

YouTube via wonkythomas

"My riff on the Power Starve CMOS VCO. Two 40106s have their power pins fed by a combination of Pot, input & attenuated inputs. Each 40106 has 2 RC oscillators created from 4 of the 6 inverters. The 4 oscillators are fed into a 4030 Exclusive OR chip for digital Ring Mod. The module has 3 outputs being 3 differant combinations of XOR'd signals.

The only downside to the Power Starve CV input set-up is compared to other CMOS modules the output is quite low. So, I borrowed an idea from Tom BugBrand - run the output thru a comparator! This gets the levels back up to the rail-to-rail swing we know & love in out lunettas :D

In these vids I'm tricking the basic idea out a little... instead of a standard, static comparator I'm using a voltage controlled version, adapted from Ken Stones Gated Comparator module (which is an amazing piece of synth!) The VC input is what gives rise to the gated / tremelo fx we can hear, this especially great in the lunetta because everything is interelated; a clock, divider, counter & logic create the "CVs" to drive the VCO & I tap differant parts of the patch to feed the CV input on the comparator; noisy sequence fun!!!"

Power Starve - XOR - VC Comparator Pt. 2


"More of the same as the previous; the variable threshold comparator is great for breaking up the signal into shards. Super!"

Auduino on Minduino and Mini Megaduino

"Rigged up an Auduino on my Minduino and hooked it up to my Mini Megaduino running as a make-shift VU meter.

Both the Minduino and Mini Megaduino are my designs for breadboard versions of the Arduino and the Mega Arduino."

Effector 13 Devi Ever Synth Mangler Fuzz Pedal

via this auction
"This is a Synth Mangler that was built before Ooh-La-La started building them. It's got two Soda Meiser fuzzes stacked on top of each other, with volume controls and switches for hiss and chaos on each fuzz. The joystick morphs the tone of the two fuzzes. Talk about a wicked fuzz!

This pedal has appeared in at least one Nine Inch Nails in-studio video as far as I know. It is incredibly easy to achieve the exact same guitar sound as the song “1,000,000” (I'm convinced that Trent probably used a SM on that song). This fuzz also sounds great with all kinds of pedals before and after it, and will even generate some great noise on its own if you fool around with it for a bit. I like to completely overdrive my signal with it and send it screaming into my amp for a sort of “Jack White on steroids” fuzz sound."

Steiner/Crumar EVI–Analog Synthesizer Breath Controller

via this auction
"This is the amazing sounding Steiner Electronic Valve Instrument, a wind synth with trumpet fingering, glide, full scaling and octave range. Basically an analog synthesizer with a breath controller for volume AND tone control (via one of the BEST analog filter circuits EVER!) Square, pulse and sawtooth waves, with PWM (via breath control) and vibrato as well, via a thumb-control on the bottom of the instrument.
The sonic possibilities of this instrument go WAY beyond what is possible with a trumpet Self contained controller and synth module closes up into a small carrying case with handle! These were extremely well made, by Crumar of Italy."

KORG MINIPOPS 20 S HQ SOUND

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"Jamming around with the Korg / Keio Minipops 20s.

The Korg Minipops 20s is an early rhythmbox from Korg. It's the only one Mini Pops model which has stereo outputs. Different sounds come from the two outputs - that's great! I used them like single outputs with different effects in the video.

I used a Yamaha ProR3 reverb and a delay from Roland DEP-5. On the second half of the video I sent one of the outputs through an old ELECTRO HARMONIX HOT TUBES.

I love the Minipops boxes - I recently bought the 20S. Now I have them all :-)"

"Part 1/2 - The ELM is an area near the city where i live. Sometimes on sunday we make a tour there and enjoy the nature.
The music is made with the A100 Modular System and the Korg Kaoss Pad 3. The drums are from the Kaoss Pad."
