BI-Polar Presets Test

YouTube via wonkythomas
"Mr. BugBrands fabulous "presets" design adapted for bi-polar voltages. A the moment its outputting about +/-5V which is a little too much for "note" seq'ing, I might swap the 50K pots for 10K (didn't have any 10Ks when I put it together) or I might just leave it because it does make a mighty fine modulator for things like the Wave Multiplers CV etc. Just needs abit of attenuation before it hits a VCO."

Modular Seq_Test

"Alot of my clock modules are controlled by Binary Numbers, so I've been looking at differant counters to build a flexiable divider module to control them, especially the BugBrand Presets module.

This one is built from a 4526 Proggramable 4 Bit Down counter. It has 4 outputs for 4 differant divisions & what makes it rather usefull for pattern generating is it has 4 switches which change the pulse trains at the outputs in differant ways.

In this video a random voltage is being used to reset the counter & I switch various patterns in & out. On the right a CGS Psycho LFO is being used to control the distorted 8008 sound. The LFO feeds a 2 Bit analogue to digital convertor & one of the bit outs controls a gate controlled switch, so, when the Psycho LFO outputs more than 5V a clock from the Binary Counter is tapped off into the trigger input of the drum module."

Pattern Dual I

"Binary Rate Multiplier. Clock goes in, switches set the number the pulse is multiplied by, funky shit comes out!
Just fiddling around breaking in new modules."

White Light

" Footage from an installation called White Light that I did at RPI in february 2010.

For more info go to:
http://casperelectronics.com/finished...

White Light incorporates hand built audio electronics and a pulsing light display to create an interactive and immersive audio visual experience.

Each podium generates an audio drone as well as controlling the brightness of a single color in the light sphere. The three podiums control the three basic colors RED, BLUE and GREEN. Using all three podiums at once generates full spectrum color mixing.

The sound from the podium and the light are generated by the SAME electrical signal. The signal, which is two detuned square waves, is simply split and sent to the speaker and also to the light. There is no sound to light circuitry involved. They are both controlled by the same signal."

Pimp My Stylophone! - A MIDI Perfomance Controller

YouTube via hotchk155

"Stylophone converted to a MIDI performance controller with additional controls added for pitch bend, mod wheel, note velocity, octave up/down and MIDI note hold. Since I had to rip out the guts of the Stylophone (a cheap broken one off ebay) it no longer makes any sound by itself.. what you're hearing is coming out of Propellerheads Reason, driven by MIDI.

Driven by a PIC16F688 microcontroller... for info and source code see http://hotchk155.blogspot.com/2010/02..."
