"(2) BLACK JACK VCO's: RAMP, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, & SINE WAVES. THESE VCO'S HAVE CV, LINEAR CV, AND PWM INPUTS. THERE IS ALSO A LINKED PITCH CV INPUT NEAR THE JACK LABLED 'PCV' FOR SEQUENCER OR MIDI TO CV CONVERSION INPUT. THESE ARE 1V/OCT BASED AND I TUNED THEM FOR A MIDI TO CV CONVERTER USE. THESE ARE MY PERSONAL VCO'S THAT I USE FOR EVERYTHING. VERY MUSICAL.

(1)ANALOG LFO: RAMP, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, & SINE WAVES. THIS LFO HAS A CV AND VARIABLE LINEAR INPUT. THIS 'VLINEAR' INPUT IS VERY UNIQUE TO THIS SYNTH. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS FEATURE ON ANY OTHER PRODUCT OUT THERE. WITH THIS IN PUT YOU CAN DO ARCADE TYPE ARPEGGIOS.

(1)TOM WHILTSHIRE ADSR DIGITAL ENVELOPE GENERATOR FROM ELECTRIC DRUID SITE. THERE IS NO PCB AVAILABLE. I DID A SMALL RUN FOR MY SELF.

(1)ANALOG VCA: AUDIO INPUT, AND VCA CV INPUT

(1)DC MIXER: -WHEN THE KNOB IS PAST THE HALF POINT YOU WILL OVER DRIVE THE SOUND (CAN BE A NICE EFFECT FOR TUBE LIKE STUFF). SO THE FIRST SMALL TURN IS WHERE THE SOUND ADJUSTING IS.

(1)NOISE GENERATOR: WITH GRAIN, WHITE, PINK NOISE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MIXER IS HARD WIRED TO THE VCA AUDIO INPUT VIA SWITCH JACK, SO WHEN YOU INPUT A CABLE INTO THE VCA IN IT WILL BREAK THAT CONNECTION FROM THE MIXER.

THERE ARE (2) 1/4" PHONO MONO OUTPUTS. (1) IS FOR LINE LEVEL MIXER OUT, AND THE OTHER IS FROM THE VCA/MASTER VOLUME OUT.
THE RED BUTTON IS TO OPEN UP THE VCA. THE GREEN BUTTON ON THE TOP IS TO TRIGGER THE ADSR GENERATOR ENVELOPE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS GUIDE IS FOR ROOKIES:
VCO-> OUTS HAVE SOUND, THE INPUTS ARE TO MODULATE OR TWEAK THE PITCH. THE OUTS CAN VOLTAGE CONTROL SOMETHING ELSE TOO.

LFO->OUTS CAN HAVE SOUND AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE INPUTS ARE TO CONTROL THE SPEED. THE OUTS CAN VOLTAGE CONTROL SOMETHINE ELSE TOO.

ENV ADSR-> OUTS LABLED 'ENV' ARE CONTROLLER VOLTAGES, THESE NEVER HAVE SOUND. THESE ARE TO CONTROL SOMETHING ONLY.

VCA->THIS IS A VC AMP. THE MIXER GOES TO THIS THEN YOU CAN CONTROL IT BY PLUGGING IN SOMETHING INTO THE VCA CV INPUT. USUALLY AN ENV OUT PLUGS INTO THIS.

NOISE GENERATOR->THESE OUTS HAVE SOUND, YOU CAN ALSO USE THEM TO CONROL SOMETHING.

THE MIXER->THIS IS TO MIX AUDIO."

MPC 1000 & Kaoss Pad 3 Live


YouTube via psychopath3000 — May 27, 2010 — "Ok, so I lied a little. It's not entirely live. Here we have three loops on the Kaoss Pad 3, A/ a drum loop from the Lion King soundtrack, B/ a cut-up African choir loop from the same, and C/ a cut-up piano loop from the Up soundtrack (both AMAZING films, watch them right now. Go. Go now).

On the MPC 1000, I have sampled things including a Martinu piece, various vocals from across the universe of youtube and Rafiki from the Lion King. Much of it is live, much is not. So forgive me.

I hope you like this. It took me quite a while to figure out. Inspired by the likes of Pogo, Prefuse 73 and, obviously, the Lion King.

My FFT test in Processing


YouTube via zambari — May 27, 2010 — "I've started to learn processing, an obvious first step is drawing some spectrogram-like stuff. Biggest issue here was finding a right balance between time-resolution/latency - for which you need to keep the buffer size small, and frequency resolution, especially in the low-end where you need big buffers. I ended up averaging results from one 512 sample and one 8192 sample buffers.
Then there was some fun working out a method to display it logarithmically and some optimisation tricks. Audio is played live on Kork Electribe run through sherman filterbank (distortion at the end) http://processing.org

framerate is a bit better when not capturing video at the same time"
