This is my second compilation on my new Blofeld synthesizer (Waldorf). All sounds on this video are Blofeld produced except for claps+hats. I'm still learning it's very basics...

The video is a short excerpt from "Koyaanisqatsi", a magnificent movie by Godfrey Reggio (1982). The original music was written by none the less than Phillip Glass.

Thanks for listening - if you like this please subscribe, I hope to upload more in the coming future."

Roland SPH-323 Vintage Analog Phaser Phase Shifter

via this auction

"Roland SPH-323 phaser from the RSS series of effects in the late 70's with dual LFO's and CV control over depth and LFO 2. There's also a 4 stage/8 stage switch and the modulation can be sent out one of two outputs (regular and inverted)."

EMU Emulator III 3 Vintage Sampler w/Sample Library

via this auction

"Accessories: Comes with an internal 40 MB? drive full of samples and around 60 floppy disks of samples (Stereo Grand Piano to Moog Basses to Saxophones, Vibraphone, Stereo Strings, French Horns, Percussion, Marimbas, etc). All floppies were tested two weeks ago and I was able to load up all the samples. There were no bad disks. However, disks can go bad so these are included with no guarantees."

ARP Odyssey whiteface with CV/GATE/Filter Input mods

via this auction
"Features: When I bought this synth it had CV/GATE/TRIG input/output jacks previously installed by a company called MRE. (Not sure who this company is or was but what I do know is this is one of the few CV/GATE kits that allows the Odyssey to be triggered from a Roland MC-4 or other CV/GATE synth without hooking up a separate trigger cable. (Other CV/GATE kits required the trigger to be connected for some reason.) I wanted even more functionality, so a couple of years ago I shipped it to CMS (Cirrocco Modular Systems) and he performed the following service/mods: 1) cleaned all sliders and inside of synth 2) added a switch for the LFO to allow for free-running or trigger via keypress or trigger input (an absolutely essential mod) 3) switched low output/high output jacks so high output uses 1/4" jack and not the RCA jack 4) Added a 1/4" VCF input jack (I believe he also added an audio input through the VCF but I can't recall as I didn't have it labeled). 5) Upgraded and replaced all caps in the power supply. 6) Repaired a faulty voice 7) Tuned up the synth. I recently took it to my tech because the keyboard was only triggering properly from CV/GATE and was only playing one note up and down the keyboard if played manually. He had it fully tuned and replaced a diode in the keyboard circuit which fixed the keyboard issue. The keyboard is now scaling perfectly and the second voice scales properly too."

The HUE 008 : spectral apc modulation via

via Coloring Pad
"The HUE 008 consists of 2 APC's ((atari punk consoles. really four 555's)) built from scratch from the circuit board (set 1: yellow and green, set two: red and purple), with two knobs to cross modulate between them (orange and blue). Each APC is routed (respectively) left and right, for stereo goodness. In addition, the HUE 008 has a tint knob & switch (stereo ring modulator), a light knob and switch (one solo light sensor), a spectrum knob and switch (three light sensors housed inside the pulsing and spectrum cycling center light, which is operated by the lower center pushbutton), and a shadow knob and button (battery sag)... I attempted to design a super dynamic, fat APC, with the APC's being the signal for ring modulation, to boot. I hope somehow it makes somebody's top ten list of things that make ununderstandable noise somewhere.

I'd be honored and flattered. Videos will follow." Note the audio player further below features music from Coloring Pad for context. It does not feature the HUE 008 though as it was literally completed yesterday.

Update: video of the HUE 008 posted here.
