"Fred's vocals by DECTalk Express which is also used by Stephen Hawking. Cindy and Kate's vocals utilized two HP Scanjet 3C flatbed scanners. The robot guitar, keyboard, snare and bass drum all are controlled with a couple of PIC16F84A microcontrollers.

special thanks goes out to:

Chris Rasmussen who offered to fly me and my robot band down to Athens, Georgia for the Art Rocks Athens Festival. Sadly due to my work schedule I could not make it. What he didn't know I was already secretly working on my next video so I offered to promote this great venue.

"This is a patch I've been working on over the last days. It's recorded live and nothing is added in post. The patch in short is:

Make Noise René to DPO to MMG. The René is controlled by a series af logic and gates which in turn are controlled by Doepfer A149-1 and A149-2.
Doepfer A155 controlls the random freq and cutof for the MMG.
Make Noise Pressure Points to Intellijel Rubicon to Koma filter.
2 x Doepfer A110 which FM each other and controlled by Intellijel Planar.
Stereo panning comes from 2 x Alesis Midiverb 4."

Malekkodrone - Buchla Easel, 200e & Malekko 616 Delay

Published on Mar 30, 2014 djangosfire·186 videos

"Drone patch mixing the a Buchla New Music Easel, 200e & Malekko Ekko 616 Analog Delay (my fav analog delay ever!!).

Dronescape!

I really enjoy using the 261e as a modulation source for the Easel Mod VCO. Also, the 261e has such a complex tone. Using the headphone out of the Easel, I fed sounds back into the 200e... 1st through the Ekko 616, then into the 230e. The 230e sends the audio to the 206e mixer.... the 230e ALSO sends CV and pulse to control panning and other aspects of the patch.

Cheers!

Octave Cat Analog Synthesizer SN A1006

"Octave released this analog classic - the Cat - during the era of the Minimoog and ARP Odyssey synthesizers. The Cat is actually very much like the ARP Odyssey, so much so that ARP had sued them in the late 1970's for cloning their designs. The Cat is a monophonic/duophonic analog synthesizer with 2 oscillators capable of square and sawtooth waveforms. VCO 1 also has a triangle waveform. Each of the waveforms can be played simultaneously and mixed together and there are additional sub-octave oscillators on each oscillator to blend new and interesting sounds.

This one was recently serviced by Deltronics in Chicago to have the power supply cleaned up. The oscillators are stable and all the pots are smooth. There is some visible wear on the face plate particularly around the filter frequency pot. There is also a small ding in one of the wood panels shown in the picture. Overall though the synth sounds and plays great."
