Sound of Z8000

YouTube Uploaded by popitem on Jun 30, 2011

"Basic idea is using a sequencer as an oscillator and the oscillators as a modulation source.
The patch is 2 Tiptop Audio Z3000 and a Z8000, all audio is from the Z8000: 2 row routed to a mixer are clocked at audio rate by the waveform of the 2 Z3000 (wich are cross modulated, waveform to PWM to cv to cv)."

"This is a short vid demontrating the basic functions of Dave Kendall's CMOS based MIDI 2 Clock Converter.
For the patch i use the M2C (controlled by Cubase), my new BinSeq (divider/attenuverter based sequencer), Boogdish's simple Quantizer and my dual X-4046 VCO (Thomas Henry).
For clocking the BinSeq i use the gate out of the M2C, the stop out resets the BinSeq. So each time i stop the Cubase sequencing software the BinSeq gets a reset. When staring the pattern from the beginning, the sequencer is in sync again."

These do not feature specific synths, but thought I'd put them up for the sound design. Manipulating natural objects to synthesize sound effects. These in via Soviet Space Child.

"Director Michael Bay and Producer Steven Speilberg return this summer for the third film in the Transformers franchise, Tranformers: Dark of the Moon. The amazing visual effects in this film are complimented by the talented efforts of the sound team including Re-recording Mixers Greg Russell and Jeff Haboush, and Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designers Ethan Van der Ryn, and Erik Aadahl.

The Harvestman – Evin 209 Matrix Mixer

via this auction

"Overview:
4x4 matrix mixer and bipolar feedback grid Evin 209 provides four different mixes of four signal inputs. Each output row can be switched between unipolar (zero to max) and bipolar (negative max to zero to positive max) mix behavior. The module is DC-coupled so that you may also mix control signals this way. An expansion header is also provided on the rear of the module. It currently connects to a m'79 Stilton Adaptor for true Feedback Console operation (the inputs and outputs of each module are normalled together, so a complex mix of a four-pedal feedback loop can be finely tuned). This header will also allow expansion with any other Feedback Console devices to be designed, such as VCAs or envelope extractors.

inputs and outputs:
Four inputs by four outputs matrix mixer Selectable unipolar or bipolar mix operation for each output group Expansion header for Stilton Adaptor +/-12V Doepfer-style power connector.

Measures and weight:
3U eurorack module
Panel size: 20HP"

That was actually my gear. A TR-909 I picked up at a pawn shop in Maui for $190 (see the bottom story here), my first synth, an Oberheim Matrix-6 (hence matrix), a pink and red Thingamagoop, Gaken SX-150, Handspring Visor running Mini Music, and a Malekko ID-600 Analog Delay pedal.
