A Few PTG Envelope Patches.mp4

Published on Nov 27, 2012 by SteadyStateFate
"A few PTG envelope patches.
First patch uses the PTG as a VCA that feeds the DMF-2 Filter. The inveretd VCA signal is then used to modulate the filter to create the metallic ZONG!
The rest of the patches utilize the WMDevices Multimode VCA along with the DMF-2 and later with the ProModular CLOQ as a modulation source.
All of the patches are triggered by the Make Noise PP/Brains and in some cases CV from the PP.
Thanks and enjoy!"

Maestro Woodwind

"Incredibly rare vintage 60s Maestro Woodwind analogue effects box complete with clarinet pickup and original carry case! I think it's the rarest "W1" model. Not sure where to start with this...

It's primarily designed for playing Clarinet or Saxophone through, then passing it into an amp but can also be used as a guitar effect, synth effect or you can put just about anything through it via the inputs.

You can hear this all over the woodwind on a lot of the Frank Zappa records - infact, it's on the inside sleeve of Hot Rats. Used by Kraftwerk also. It sounds a lot like loads of effects on early Roxy Music/ Brian Eno stuff...

In theory it has settings like "Cello" and "Horn" which transform the woodwind sound via pitch shift/ tracking etc.

BUT, you can also coax various 60s Maestro fuzz sounds out of it (they made very expensive classics like the Brassmaster etc.) by putting whatever you want through it.


The clarinet socket was switched to a 1/4" socket by the previous owner, which makes it easier for feeding signals through. There's a very slight dent where they did it - you can see in the picture. Output is on two 1/4" jacks. This allows you to get really good stereo effects. It also has a tremolo and EQ! You can apply effects to each output.

If you want to run a guitar or signal from a mixing desk/ Pro Tools through the unit then you should use a preamp or signal booster before it so it can track the notes OK. Also, best to run it into a DI box or instrument inputs on your soundcard/ desk.

If you want to use the Maestro with a clarinet then use the pickup/ barrel in place of the usual one on your clarinet. Has fitted every single clarinet I've used it with (Buffet, Bundy etc.)

All in all a very eccentric and unique box, rare as hen's teeth. I was told this one was made in the 60s which would make sense. It's in really good condition and looks amazing. Probably a real collectors piece. Very useful and fun for studio sessions/ mixing.

Only made in the US I think - so you'll have to use a plug adapter which you can get really easily (and cheaply) at Maplin/ most places..."

WATKINS WEM IC 300 COPICAT

"Offered for sale here is this excellent IC300 Copicat: amongst the best-sounding of the tape Copicats - from an echo point of view (the valve Copicats do make great preamps, but don't produce as clear echoes). This is amongst the best examples we've had - it's had a very easy life and is very clean indeed and sounding fantastic.

It is in excellent working order - the heads have been cleaned and demagnetised and it's been fitted with a three-core earthed mains cable to comply with current safety regulations. It sounds as good as a Copicat can. The case is in superb condition, which is increasingly rare and it comes with its original footswitch (see photos below for details). Operationally it's a very good example indeed - all heads replay at an even level and tone - very inspiring to play. All knobs are crackle-free (some crackle may develop over time through lack of use - easily rectified by a few turns or in excessive cases, judicious use of suitable switch cleaner).

It works well with all sorts of sources, and is a great unit for dub delays - sounds lovely when feeding back into self-oscillation. The footswitch socket that is located in the rear compartment carries a wet-only signal enabling this to be used as a send on a mixing desk for dubtastic echo effects.
The echoes are even in level/tone across all four heads, and self-oscillate raucously when the sustain knob is turned up. The repeats are not particularly hifi in nature - they have a pleasing crunch to them which sits well behind whatever you're playing: this is not a digital delay unit!

It's fitted with a new WEM tape - because Copicats only use a short length of tape (compared to Echoplexes or Space Echoes) the tape should be changed regularly for optimum performance. We can supply quantities of tape loops if required. We use and supply both genuine WEM loops (still manufactured/supplied by Charlie Watkins) and loops from MyTape Echo. Usually if there is any overpayment on postage costs, we make up any excess with spare loops, but please get in touch if you require an extra supply.

It is a UK 240v model so will require a step-up transformer for use in countries with 100-110v mains supplies - the UK plug will be removed for overseas sales to countries with a 240v supply (unless otherwise requested).
