"Organized by Satoshi Sakagami, owner of retro gaming and culture shop Meteor, Fami-Mode 2010 returned to the Star Pine's Cafe in Kichijouji, Tokyo. Acts incorporating music created using videogame hardware included Omodaka, Kplecraft, Consumers, and Sexy-Synthesizer.

Omodaka is the name of the project developed through a "trial and error process of mutational fusion of music and motion graphics. It will knock over your existing image
toward a music video by a beautiful trajectory." Omodaka utilizes a GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS and other portable game hardware.

[diy] GLITCH LAB Synth 1/2, analog , atari punk console

via this auction

"The enclosure is made out of stable cardboard. The handmade glitch lab has one squarewave oscillator. The pitch can be controlled with the 3 buttons and the bodycontacts. It runs with one 9V battery and has a 1/4" output jack."

You can find some samples from the synth at diysynth.blogsport.de."

Moog MG-1 with Mods

via this auction
Note this is the one in this video.
"several modifications to this unit; most of these are very basic but very useful:
* Removed the silly RCA jacks on the back
* Replaced those jacks with new Switchcraft ¼” jacks for:
o Audio Out
o Audio In (to VCF/VCA)
o Gate In (positive voltage trigger > 1V, a more common standard in the synth world than the Moog S-Trig)
o VCF CV In
* Removed the tattered ‘Realistic’ label on the back panel

* Replaced the attached power cord with a more convenient 3-prong IEC connector (easier to transport, easier to store)
* Replaced the red LFO LED with a bright blue LED
* Added ‘Sync Sweep’ functionality

That last modification is something that the MG-1’s sister synth, the Moog Rogue, had, but was left off the MG-1. Here I’ve added a simple switch to the left cheek panel to allow you to switch the Contour (aka Envelope Generator) to sweep the pitch of Oscillator 2. When the two oscillators are not sync’ed, you get Osc 2 pitch ‘swoops’, but when they are sync’ed, you get very cool metallic dynamic timbre changes."

Europa Demo #08 - Swing - old school techno / hiphop !

YouTube via ASUKLTD
"Here's a really cool little loop demo'ing swing on and off. One pattern has swing, the other has no swing, so you can hear the difference. Swing really makes the sequencer bounce! Also a quick demo of octave shift, transpose and mute.
Sounds provided by a Boss DR670"

"A pair of Sherman Filterbank 2 "addiction guaranteed!" verified by Franck Smith. Micro pulses & glitchy patterns — gradual study on subtle beats transformation, using Sleepdrone 5 as sound source and 2x Sherman Filterbank 2 (filterbank n°1 direct to filterbank n°2).

Contents: minimal pulses, subtle beats transformation, glitchy patterns, analog electronics, signal trajectory, glitch, clicks, analog oscillators, noise manufacturing...

(excerpts from Sherman "abuser's manual")
BEWARE: THE SHERMAN USERS GROUP IS ONE YOU CAN ENTER, BUT NEVER LEAVE!
Any sound source, live or in studio can be used, but it's obvious that you won't get far without an external sound source.

IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND-SYSTEM.

Material in this video:
- Sleepdrone 5 (by King Capitol Punishment)
- 2x Sherman Filterbank 2 (tabletop versions)
N.B.— separate direct outputs 2 & 3 of Sleepdrone and main output are routed to Filterbank 2 via Nobels mix-41-C active mixer 4 in 1 (not shown on screen).

Sync LSDJ with Shitwave

YouTube via RustyNex. Gameboys on Ebay. via Gameboy Genius
"this is a quick mod i made up, it involves a link cable from the LSDJ gameboy to a 74161 counter and then to a CD4024 counter that converts the master clock signal into a tempo signal, this is then fed through various pots so you can control the gain of the signal, attack, decay and to some extent the duty cycle, that is then fed into a LTC1799 which converts the signal back into a clock signal which is fed straight into the CPU of the shitwave gameboy

shitwave is made by Nitro2k01 and is a shift based drone generator,"

Midi gameboy, with built in Arduinoboy.

"this is my midi enabled gameboy which i built. it uses a very high contrast gameboy pocket screen in it which has been adapted to fit, the screen has also been bi inverted thanks to bibbin and nitro's hex inverter idea. It has a white backlight from Nonfinite, and used to be a clear gameboy with the inside painted white.

i have also removed the text from the front of the gameboy to make it look cleaner and added purple snes buttons to match the purple LEDs in the middle.

the middle has a metal bezel which has a small window inside the gameboy to show a pixel heart made out of 16 UV LEDs.
the pixel heart is divided into 4 and shows the 5 modes of the Arduinoboy, blank for LSDJ master, to all on for midi.

the mode switch is above the headphone socket which has been pro sounded.

the arduino code has been edited from the original code written by Trash80, i changed how the lights light, so that the heart looked right, as well as "pulsing" in time to the music. i also modified pin 11 to work the speaker so that you get some beeps on mode change and start up.

the midi socket is on the side which was a pain in the ass to fit, it involved cutting the mother board of the gameboy.

and lastly the usb port is on the bottom for updating the arduino.

the two gameboy carts are USB carts that i have modified to look awesome, the blue one has LSDJ on it and the white one has MGB."
