"Lacuna is performed live using:

Elektron Machinedrum UW SPS-1 Mk1

All mixing and sequencing occurs in the machinedrum. Audio from the Machinedrum runs into the KRK Monitors which is then recorded by the cam corder MIC. Sadly, my DAW failed to record the direct output of this track.

Vox Percussion King - RARE analog drum machine 1967

via this auction

"very rare and fully functioning Vox Percussion King. Famed to be one of the drum machines kraftwerk used on autobahn these do not come up often. great for a collector, but works great too!

Drums are triggered using buttons, can be assigned to upbeat/downbeat. very unique setup for a drum box, but heck it was 1967. available drum sounds are crash cymbal, brush cymbal, bass drum, snare drum, drum roll, bongo I, bongo II, block, clave, and castanet. 1/4" audio output and volume and tone controls."

"Still learning what this stuff can do. Using a wavetable VCO as a clock that goes through a clock divider that gets fed into Maths, which generates functions that are fed to various other parts of the patch, including the filter's CV control. Things got weirder when I made the wavetable VCO sync to another VCO. Turning up FM on the VCOs adds to the mess."

Gary Chang: Make Noise Pressure Points

"Here's a pair of Gary Chang's Pressure Points mounted in a small tabletop enclosure (the manufacturer and model # is PacTec Model CM69-120 / www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic-Enclosures/CM69-120.html ).
They have been modified by Tony of Make Noise to run off a 9v battery.

From Gary: "I sent my Pressure Point back to him and he modified a pair of them for battery power so that I can move it around in my studio to use with whatever modular that I want - the Wiard, Serge or Eurorack...."

The modules can also draw their power from Gary's Eurorack rig via a custom cable, when desired.

Macbeth: X-Series 'Backend' Filter

"The Macbeth X-Series 'Backend' Filters are here! Beautiful construction and very nice sounding, they share the same price and size as the Dual Oscillators. Having both completes a synthesizer "voice" in Eurorack. Modules ship from stock via our website. LINK: www.analoguehaven.com/macbethstudiosystems/xseriesbackend..."

Continuation of PAiA 9700 Series Modules

via PAiA where you will find the full details.

"The 9700 development project continued to evolve at every turn. Progress accelerated in 2008 when we were joined by our newest designer, Cliff Schecht. Over the next year, Cliff took the existing design sketches and concepts and developed most of the new crop of modules with significant consultation from Geoff Schecht and feedback from the rest of us. When David Arms joined Chuck McLeavy's production team in 2009, these modules began to make the final huge leap from prototype to production.

Benefits from employing this new method of kit design have surpassed our expectations. The new crop of 9700 modules is utterly true to the original design goal: basic modules at an extremely affordable price that are, by far, the easiest-to-build kits we have ever produced. Even sweeter is that their performance rivals modules available from any manufacturer at any price."

BTW, I created an Online label for soft synths that are hosted in the cloud like this and Hobnox's AudioTools. I know there are more I posted, but can't seem to find them. Apologies to the makers. If you know or make an online synth, let me know and I will add the label.

This had me thinking about cloud based computing and it's potential impact on our world. We are a ways off, but one day it would be nice to be able to access your synths anywhere, anytime. Think of a mini portable keyboard with a tilted multi-touch screen. All your synths available anytime, any place, and completely customizable.

Note the "link to this patch" in AngryOctopus' online synths. It's an easy way to share and save your patches.
