Roland VariOS synthesizer - Jupiter 8 /TB-303 / Studio

via this auction

Virtual Jupiter-8 and TB-303 from Roland that only appeared in the VariOS rack. Makes you wonder how successful they might be in hardware clones.

"If you want to buy one synth that works as a full sound production station, Jupiter 8 polysynth, or TB-303 baseline synth- and don't want to spend a lot, but demand high, detailed sound quality, this is an excellent choice (to recap, it has 3 modes of operation- full sound production station, Jupiter 8 polysynth, or TB-303 baseline synth- that's 3 great tools for the price of one). It is additionally compatible with the Roland VC-1 (D-50) and VC-2 (Vocal Designer) cards."

via this auction

"The Korg MS-02 Interface is a handy CV/Gate Utility designed for the Korg MS-series monophonic synths to interface with Roland,Moog and ARP world, because the MS-10, MS-20 (and Yamaha CS- series synths) all run in Hz/V. It has the following connections:

-LOG AMP Hz/V-to-Oct/V Converter

-JUNCTIONS Multiples"


Korg MS03 Signal Processor Demo


YouTube via dragonfly2270 | July 01, 2010

"This is a demo of my Korg MS03 Signal Processor for sale on Ebay."

via this auction

"The Korg MS-03 vintage monophonic pitch to voltage converter interface. This unit produces VCO CV (control voltage) signals and trigger (gate) signals so that you can use another synth’s audio output ,an electric guitar, microphone, or other transducer output (from an acoustic instrument, for example) to "play" a synthesizer. A variety of remote control input jacks let you use foot switches for more freedom and flexibility during live performance. With this amazing unit you can instantly put together your own guitar synthesizer, vocal synthesizer, etc., by simple connection with any synthesizer equipped with VCO CV IN (Roland Oct/V or Korg and Yamaha Hz/V)and TRIGGER (Gate) IN input jacks.

This unit is in perfect working condition.I have posted a video on You Tube demonstrating the unit in action – I patch a Korg MS20’s audio output into the MS03 which then sends CV and trigger signals to a Korg Monopoly synth."

Folktek Arts Drone Scape

via the Folktek Arts blog

"The Drone Scape by Arius Blaze - an ongoing series of works intended specifically for a broad range of drone - from lo-fi to extremely rich and lush, similar in nature to the Drum Scape series, though also quite different from any other folktek work. On the other hand, it's also capable of glitch, bleeps and blips, odd beats, shifting arpeggiation and all varieties of noise.

The Drone Scape X (one of four identical works) can be found here;

This piece is capable of all of the same sounds and has the same controls."

Jenny Omnichord’s Baby Bump

Found this one searching Omnichord pics for the last post.

via Exclaim News:

"While most expectant new moms have enough on their minds, Jenny Omnichord (aka Jenny Mitchell of the Barmitzvah Brothers) is already plotting a double release for her unborn son’s due date. No, not twins; to celebrate her child’s birth, scheduled for September 27, Mitchell plans to simultaneously release an album of original children’s songs, written and sung with an impressive list of friends and collaborators."

Studio Electronics Omega 8

A couple of demos below featuring the Omega 8 in via Mr. Array of Ocean Orbit. Note this Omega 8 is up for sale here.

"This one has a nice custom chrome face and an extra filter installed on voice one. The standard filters across the 4 voices are the Moog and SEM combo. I believe that the extra filter on voice 1 is an ARP filter. It certainly doesn't sound like a 303 filter to me, and it's in the AUX1 slot, which rules it out being a CS-80 filter, which can only fit into Aux 2."

8BIT GUITAR - PULSEWIDTH SEQUENCING


YouTube via 4NIM4L57YL3 | June 28, 2010



Thanks to Vblank and Batsly Adams for their help. Vblank gave me some programming lessons and Batsly helped me choose the correct components to use.

Thanks to Bucky from for being my camera man on this one.

Thanks to Part Time (my cat) for trying to get into every video i post. ...gives me chiptune street cred yo.

This a CV sequencer i built (with an arduino microcontroller). It Sequences the pulse width of my guitar. I got the idea from tracking (composing) in famitracker, LSDJ and Goattracker. When you compose for the NES or the Gameboy, there are tons of effects you can choose from to make square waves more complex and interesting sounding. So, once i saw that the Pulsemonger pedal had a CV input for the pulsewidth i had to buy it. There are a couple reasons i built this with an arduino: I wanted to make it expandable. In the future, I may add some tap tempo functionality or i thought maybe it might be fun to actually hook the sequencer up to my Gameboy (through the linker port) so the sequencing would happen in relation to the tempo of the song i'm playing."

Sequential Circuits 'Drumtraks' Drum Machine from the year 1984

The SCI Drumtraks is a very easy to use 8-bit sample-based drum machine from the early eighties with a very powerfull sound. 13 drum sounds with programmable tuning and level control. The Drumtraks can also send DIN sync and clock.

This demo video shows the instruments, pattern record and and some pattern of the Drumtraks." I used no external effects, EQ or compression. Only the pure Drumtraks sound."

Tek Kit HD Step Sequencer DJ Mixer for the iPad, DJ Set Part One


YouTube via iPadTekKit | July 01, 2010

"We are about to do a massive update to Tek Kit. We have added a heap of new features including: full step sequencing capabilities, more effects, custom user samples, a swing function and master tube distortion. (just to mention a few) There are still a few loose ends to tidy up, and a bit of user interface work to be done but the end product is a fully fledged electronic music production and performance tool. This video is a sneak peak before the final release occurs, and is just a mess around session just to show off some of the features, and uses a couple of tracks composed by Proxycon (one of our fantastic contributors) as well as a few fill in beats made by the Tek Kit team.

Long Live The Beat!"

Osc generationg pulse wave with wavelength proportional to applied voltage («Volt/Length» response)

408-byte wavelength table and simple code is required to get V/Oct response. In case of ATTiny (10-bit ADC, 8-bit MCU) hash-table method should be faster then pure calculations.

WIP. Project goal is extremely simple and cheap VCO for Lo-fi applications."

"I've added some logic gates and the melodygenerator finally got off the breadboard and onto the main board.
What you see from left to right: 4040 divider(red), 4017/4051 Melodygenerator(blue), 4051 multiplexer(green), 4015 shift register(yellow), 4024 divider(red), 4011 NAND gate(yellow), 4030 XOR gate(yellow).

Outside of the picture there is a 40106 quad oscilator to provide the clocks and audio signals and there is 1 starve pot for the board and 1 for the quad oscilator on the breadboard.

The video is mostly a free running patch with me using the starve-pots to control the power to the board and oscilators, it gets a little wild sometimes :)"
