"Bugbrand audio weevil in excellent condition with instuction sheet and pin badge very rare. UK only bidders folks. Here's the blurb

A wide variety of features are packed into this Weevil - have a check of the block diagram to the left to see how the signal flows. The box is both a synth-sound generator and an audio processor - oh, with a load of chaos possibilities chucked in too.

Audio Input through a CMOS Overdrive/Distortion - a powerful input (1/4" mono jack) suitable for guitar or line levels. There are two levels of drive offering clean or distorted sounds. The distortion crunches really nicely!
Variable Response Wasp-style Filter - the filtering on the AudioWeevil is now full of character! Based on the famous old-school Wasp synth and offering variable Resonance / Q, Cutoff + LFO Modulation and Low/Band/Highpass outputs. There's a mixer going into it for balancing the Thru (Audio Input) and Ring (Weevil Sonics). There's also an output level control before 1/4" mono output jack.
Twin Oscillator Weevil Heart - this is the screechy ringmod centre of synthesis with many features. There are two lofi squarewave oscillators (one with LFO modulation) with Hi / Lo rate ranges which feed into a quasi-ringmod. The 2nd osc can be switched over to accept the squared audio input for wierd-assed ringmod processing. Added onto this are controls for: Power Starvation (with Stable or Instable modes), Ringmod Feedback (with three way routing switch) and an output Comparator to give stable levels even when starved.
Modulation LFO - Osc1 and the Filter can be modulated by the wide-range tri/saw LFO. The two rate ranges offer modulation from superslow to audiorate and the waveform is switchable from Saw to Triangle to Ramp. There are independent modulation depth controls for the Osc and Filter
Screen printed Frontpanel with Contact Points - the professional frontpanel labels all functions clearly (13 dials, 10 switches) and presents a total of 16 body contact points allowing touchy chaos control of the machine - lick your fingers!"

Kanjira Buchla Test

Published on Jun 2, 2013 d4nnyp·22 videos

"First test using the Kanjira to play the Buchla.
The Buchla 230e is key in achieving this. I mult the input to pre 1 into the other 2 followers to get different gates and envelopes.
The Buchla 230e is completely brilliant, the preamps sound lovely and the gate/envelope extraction is a wonder.

Kanjira is a Southern Indian frame drum played in Carnatic music to accompany the Mridangam. Its an amazing little drum and is quite versatile. If you want to hear what it is capable of then you should check out these dudes Ganesh Kumar, G Harishankar (Legend), Pete Locket etc. Do a search, this drum will blow your mind. Also check out Trichy Sankarin, a Mridangam player (my absolute favourite) but he also plays a pretty mean Kanjira."

"drive the korg ms 20 with a doepfer euro system, or gate out from any synth or sequencer. Super easy to do, following instructions from doepfer : http://www.doepfer.de/faq/gen_faq.htm
no need an expensive korg ms02 for that :)"

The Minimoog Voyager has continuously-variable waveforms for its oscillators. The original minimoog did not. Instead, you had a switch to select each discrete waveform.

YAMAHA DX7 レゲエ風

Published on Jun 1, 2013 sasatakocom·20 videos

リズムはLive9のImpluse、他のパートはDX7です。せっかくなので？メインメロディの出だしは大好きなLovi'n Youのフレーズにしたりなんかして。
動画は街にある顔っぽい風景。できればクルマ以外で、ということで、結構うろちょろして集めましたが、案外ないので困りました。曲の長さ分必要なので、無理やり顔だということにしてるのもかなりありますがご容赦を。
Canon iVisのシネマモード（ポップフィルター）で撮影してみましたが、彩度の高い箇所だけクッキリ撮影できたりしてなかなか楽しいです。
