MATRIXSYNTH Card in the Wild

Pic in via 7thDanSound whose videos are frequently featured here.

New cards and magnets are in. These are somewhat of a limited run. Out of 3000 cards printed only 1000 or so met the bar and I had to go through three printers to finally get them. The green fluorescent ink and extra gloss coating required a special printing process. They were pricey and difficult to make due to the black being less forgiving. Because of this future batches will probably not have the extra coating.

Korg Kaossilator Mini Synth Circuit Bent - Sustain Mod

via this auction
"Korg Kaossilator Pocket Synthesizer Modded For Sustain Hold Via A Standard SPST Toggle Switch.... The Mod Is Pretty Useful For Noise Drone Type Sustained Sound, Or Perfect With The Pattern Section. The First One Like This Went To "The Legendary Pink Dots" As A Gift, (see Photo #6) The Second To Another Local Seattle Band "Four Dimensional Nightmare", His Had A Outer Space Pad Theme. (photo #5) Which Makes These Units #3 And #4 So Far With This Mod. More Mods Are Possible, But My Intent Was To Keep This One Simple, Add Some Needed Functionality But Keep It All Inside The Unit.

For Extra Cost, It's Also Possible To Add In Another Part, The Get Lo-Fi LTC1799 Precision Oscillator Which In Essence, Downgrades The Units Main Oscillator Clock For Pitch Or Bit Crushed Type Effects.

Jam at EMS modular meetup 2011-03-03

YouTube Uploaded by Gameboygenius on Mar 3, 2011

"x0xb0x vs my modular so far. What's mainly going in this video:
1) XR-VCO being controlled by x0xb0x's control voltage.
2) x0xb0x 's main out used as linear CV on XR-VCO.
plus of course a bunch of other random patching and wiggling."

"Here's another remake of a cool track!

Thanks to vinyljunkie07 (http://www.youtube.com/user/vinyljunkie07) for his great music and for a mix he uploaded a while ago which included a track by "Circulation" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGU6lewnDdk). Without him I probably would have never heard about this awesome guys!

micronaut - experiment four

YouTube Uploaded by Cranda11 on Mar 3, 2011

"The very definition of getting carried away. I bought a Boss RRV-10 reverb last night, and just wanted to test it out to make sure it was all working, and 5 hours later, here we are.

This piece is done with no sequencing at all. A Max patch does the dirty work, and everything you hear except the snare drum is coming from the hardware synths, six of 'em. I'm arranging things by turning specific metro objects on and off in Max via the Korg nanoControl; they're all quantized to the Global Clock."

51 Frequency Modulation Continued

YouTube Uploaded by 7thDanSound on Mar 3, 2011
Demo starts at 1:08. Follow-up to this post. MATRIXSYNTH card spotted.
"I was just going to try some more modulations before taking down the patch and get going with the video I had planned for tonight but I found the sound to be so pleasing and interesting I just had to record it.

It's the FM patch from Episode 50 only this time there is just one modulator. I use two outputs of the modulator however, the regular sine and a sawtooth run through a fixed filterbank. This gives some extra interesting control over sound. But what came by accident and feels even more interesting is the variation of notes and the higher modulation index that yields a more screaming sound at times. This is what I love with this patch."

"Macbeth X-Series Single Oscillator controlled by Malekko/Wiard NoiseRing, attenuated & quantized before hitting the 1v/o input. 2 Tiptop Audio Z3000mkII oscillators used as lfo's to modulate the Fall of a Makenoise MATHS, pulse width of the macbeth pulse out and the cutoff of the Malekko/Wiard Borgfilter used as a lopass gate and again, tiny bit of dubstation added in post."

"modules used:
ADDAC501 Complex Random
ADDAC203 CV Mapping
ADDAC801 Simple Mixer
Doepfer's VCOs, phase shifter, quad lfo

Complex random outputs control the 2 vco's frequencies and phase shift.

This is the final version with gate input to advance to next step. here is using this feature to act like a "quantized sample & hold"
