"monome responding to ambient infrared light from the sun. At sunset and sunrise the intensity of light reaches a threshold level, which causes the input sensors on the monome to randomly trigger for about five minutes (before this time they are over-saturated and cannot reset to an "off" state, and after this time there is not enough light to produce an "on" message). This stream of random data was sent to a frequency modulated synthesis patch in Max/MSP with a corresponding spectral LED display: in effect, translating ambient light into ambient sound.

Buchla No Oscillators II

follow-up to this post
"297 and 285e in feedback loop. Not completely oscillator free, since there is one in the 285e ring modding the signal in the feedback path. The adjustments here are to the 297 phase, and the notch. Also the 285e timbre control. Slight adjustments lead to big changes. The sequencer is patched to the 285e freq and the 297 phase."

Gakken SX-150 DIY Modular synth ( In progress )

Gakken SX-150 DIY Modular synth ( In progress )

YouTube Uploaded by seanrieger on Nov 15, 2010

"So I have been building my own analog synth out of 3 inexpensive Gakken SX-150 synths. Lots of bending involved. Here's what I have done so far: 500MM softpot added as a control strip for all 3 units. Each unit is tuned by replacing the 75k resistors with 10k potentiometers. The LFO is connected through patches in order to enable it to oscillate the filter. The resonance switch is also set to allow the resonance to self oscillate for a gritty distorted sound. Added 1/4 inch outs that allow each Gakken to be patched in discretely for left, right and left-right panning. Batteries replaced with 6v power supply and of course, I built a case that folds up and down like a Moog Model D. More to come, but I decided to put it through it's paces. In the video, I've added some delay to the unit, but it's pretty beefy on its own. In a world full of digital samplers and autotune, there's something very inspiring about the imperfect nature of analog voltage."
