Tiptop Audio Z-DSP Review on VICMOD

"I've only been using the Z-DSP for a few hours, and have been concentrating on the "Dragonfly Delay". I am already amazed at some of the sounds and complex drones I've been able to get out of it with the CV control of feedback and DSP assigned controls."

You can find the full review on VICMOD here.

"Simple patch illustrating one use of the 4ms Rotating Clock Divider. Four outs from the RCD are sent to one Maths, which is mainly used as a mixer for the four incoming sources. SUM out opens the Borg filter, which is in a feedback loop with the Plague Bearer to give the sound more flavor. The second Borg is in the chain to roll the nasty highs off, and is perked up with the OR out from Maths.

uLFO is clocking the RCD from pulse output, and also providing the rotation via the shaped sine output. Changing the shape of the sine and attenuating it gives pretty good control over the rotation, while mixing it up enough to be interesting.

The second Maths is slowly modulating the gain input on the Plague Bearer, and providing an occasional reset for the RCD."

Squidfanny - Circuit Bent AMSTRAD CKX100

YouTube via squidfanny. via this auction
"One of my favourite circuit Bent synthesizers, the very rare AMSTRAD CKX100 chaos Glitch Synth....

Fist part of the vid focusing on drums and GLITCH / CHAOS.

Second part is Punk LFO, Pitch modulation and photo-clit / optical theramin.

Final part shows the excellent new CHORD and INSTRUMENT sounds.

Built in the late 80's, AMSTRAD were famous for crap hi-fis and even crapper computers. This machine however is a real gem..... Lush chord + warm, sweet pleasing tones.

It's a digital 'wavetable' synth with grainy (but nice) lo-fi drums and some cool features such as midi out, play and record sequencer, Auto Harmony and 'playright' function which re-arranges the keyboard scale according to which chord is being played (just like an Omnichord).

Loads of chaotic glitching, an instant soft reset button, sweet and stable glitches to alter the tone and shape of the instrument and chord, Glitch arpeggiator, LFO with 4 possible destinations and loads of pitch modulation thanks to precision oscillator (from GETLOFI).

Damn, I love this machine.............:-)) "
