Hilltree - Diy Ms20 filter clone for stompbox

YouTube via hilltree | Feb 26, 2011 |

"This is my Diy version of the korg Ms20 filter for stombox use. A nice and easy to make filter designed by korg , and modified by tim escobedo , and some extra mods by myself. More about this project at the dutch synthforum and http://www.groenewoudnet.nl"

MODE MACHINES SL-1 Synthlab

video of it in action here
"The SYNTHLAB uses a 100% true analog circuitry with subtractive synthesis which is designed in a classic way. This design is not new because it started in the early 70´s with the voltage controlled modular systems. The use of the low pass filter based on the transistor cascade lets the synthlab sound very similar to the well known early Moog synthesizers.

As the SYNTHLAB has a built in MIDI interface you will find it easy to integrate into any MIDI studio setup. The SYNTHLAB also has a built in MIDI-TO-CV/GATE interface which can become very handy, when using vintage equipment. The SYNTHLAB is a hand-made true discrete analogue synthesizer built in Germany. We have used components from the 70s and 80s but also modern technology. There are no DSP´s or such built in, so the sound is true, pure and very experimental like a smal synthesizer laboratory - hence the name: SL-1 SYNTHLAB.

The setup of the SL-1 is very easy-to-use if you have played around with other anlogue synthesizers. Every parameter has its own pot for controlling and playing with the modulation and everything can be controlled manually in real-time. The controls of the modules are diveded into groups on the frontplate so they can be visually seperated for easier use. For basic setup you have 2 VCO´s and an external audioinput. The selected signal can be routed through the VCF and VCA before it reaches the audiooutput. For each VCF and VCA you have an own envelope generator. Additonally you have various modulation routing possibilities through the LFO´s.

Features
* 2 x VCO´s ( 2 waveforms - saw & pulse)
* 1 x VCF (low pass filter 24dB - Moog cascade)
* 1 x VCA
* 1 x Noise
* 1 x Ringmodulator
* 1 x Suboscillator (-2 octaves)
* 2 x LFO (various waveforms and routings)
* 2 x ENV (ADSR for the VCA and AD for the VCF)
* MIDI-CV-Interface with 2 x CV and GATE
* Audio IN
* Audio OUT
* MIDI IN/THRU
* External PSU included

Technical specification
* POWER: 18V AC 1000mA (PSU included)
* Dimensions: 29.8 cm * 16.5 cm * 6 cm (11.73" * 6.5" * 2.36")
(with packaging: 36.5 cm * 23 cm * 10 cm (14.37" * 9.06" * 3.94"))
* Weight: 1.5 kg (3.31 lb)
(with packaging: 2.1 kg (4.63 lb))"

"'The Social Network,' about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, is up for a handful of Oscars this weekend. The movie’s Nine Inch Nails soundtrack also got an Oscar nod for the soundtrack, in part thanks to an unusual handmade synthesizer called the Swarmatron."

Insects Chatting via Buchla 200e

YouTube via djangosfire | Feb 26, 2011 |

"This patch started out as a test using an external Doepfer Lag module.... and blossomed into "Insects Chatting" :)

General patch notes:

1x 261e OSC w/ cross mod of Timbre & Symmetry from the MOD OSC.

250e CH 1 playing a 4x note sequence (with clock from 077 Pendulum Ratchet - Ratchet time slurred w/ CH 3 from the 250e) through the external Lag Module into the 261e Principle OSC.

266e SOU sending Fluctuating Random Voltages into the same 261e Principle OSC.

261e into a channel of the 292e Quad Dynamics Manager (Low Pass Gates) with the output split into 206e Mixer & Eventide Timefactor with slap-back delay.

The Timefactor signal sent back into another channel of the 292e with the 266e Quantized Random Voltages controlling the mix level of the incoming Timefactor

Thanks for listening/reading - djangosfire"

MIDI Controller basics tutorial

MIDI Controller basics tutorial from Rupert Brown on Vimeo.

"This week I cover the basic concept of MIDI and Controllers as I sometimes get asked questions like "Will this controller sound good for bass lines" or "Will this (USB) MIDI controller work with X interface". So I did this episode to point out why they dont effect your sound."
