STG .MIX Eurorack Module

STG .MIX Eurorack module Raw from thonkblog on Vimeo.

"Here's the sound of the STG .MIX Eurorack module.
4 different waveforms from a TipTop Z3000. Not too noticable on the Square, but as I change the waveforms the clipping effect (apparently based on the Moog CP3 module) becomes very apparent."

STG .MIX Eurorack module filtered from thonkblog on Vimeo.

"Sine, Tri and Saw from a TipTop Z3000 filtered through a Make Noise QMMG. If you watch closer for the 'flatline' at the peak of the waveform you can see as the clipping takes place."

The .MIX is a 4HP eurorack mixer with 3 inputs and a bipolar output with a makeup gain stage lifted from the Moog CP3. They'll be available to order from Analogue Haven by Monday (most likely).

RARE SYNERGY SYNTHESIZER SIA BOARD

via this auction

"This Synergy SIA board is part of what you need to convert an original Synergy I synthesizer into a Synergy II+. A Synergy II+ is the commercial version of the Bell Labs Digital Synthesizer, and a Synergy II+ lets you program the Synergy synthesizer by an external computer (a Kaypro II) to load voices and store them on floppy disc and program timbres using CP/M software called SYNHCS (SYNergy Host Control System). The SYNHCS version 3.182 CP/M software for Kaypro II was included along with this Synergy SIA board and it has the complete Synergy voice cartridge library on Kaypro CP/M disc and the Synergy SIA board. SYNHCS v 3.182 is the lsat and most complete version of the SYNHCS software for controlling and editing the timbres on the Synergy synthesizer, and it's also insanely rare. As far as I know, no one else has SYNHCS v. 3.182 from 1985. Everyone else seems to have SYNHCS v. 3.15 from December 1983. As you can see, this board comes in two parts including MIDI ports because adding MIDI to the Synergy I synthesizer is part of the function of the Synergy SIA board."

Ambient Drums crushed

"A short, progressive song performed on the DRM1 through the OTO machines biscuit. Biscuit provides delay and distortion. A bit of reverb added in Live 8.

This video hopefully shows some of the more unusual analogue sounds the DRM can produce."

Flame Triode Amplifier and Oscillator, more experiments.

YouTube via nylesteiner | September 30, 2010

"More info is available at http://www.sparkbangbuzz.com

The performance of the flame triode has been greatly improved by two factors: 1 assisting the filament heat by running AC current through it and 2 using 300 VDC plate voltage instead of 200 VDC. 300 volts was not available when the first flame triode video was made. It now is capable of driving a pair of 8 ohm headphones at a reasonable level.

This video shows the flame triode being used to drive a pair of 8 ohm headphones from a very high impedance (10 megohm) input. Even though a high to lo impedance output transformer is used, amplification is necessary in order to drive the headphones at the higher level heard in the video.

This video also shows the flame triode used as an audio oscillator using transformer feedback. A high impedance transformer is necessary so one was made by putting two "voice coil to grid" transformers back to back.

I am using a simple propane, no air mixture, flame. The flame source is an orafice from an old propane barbecue cooker. I used it because it was handy.

Played and recorded m'own music."

"11th dimension" Korg EMX, D-50 & DX-9

YouTube via TheSynthFreq | September 30, 2010

"Korg EMX sequence, with DX-9 bass patched being controlled by EMX though Midi. The DX-9 bass patch was created for this track. The D-50 patch was played live and improvised over the drum machine sequences. I switched between 3 different patterns that I created, to form a 'song'.
All sounds on the D-50, DX-9 and the Korg EMX were created by me using FM and L.A.S synthesis.
Please enjoy :)"
