Doepfer A-155 as VCO

Published on Jan 12, 2013 Nicholas Keller

Short but interesting.

"This short clip shows the scope image of the (Row 2) output of a Doepfer A-155 sequencer being driven by a Doepfer A-110 VCO square wave. The sound is generated by the sequencer itself, used as an 8-step waveform. Three different sine and triangle LFOs are used to modulate the waveshape by patching them into the inputs on the bottom row of the sequencer."

Cat SRM multi-mode filter test

Published on Apr 23, 2013 Nicholas Keller

"Testing filter mods on an Octave Cat SRM. Six filter modes. 2 and 4 pole HP/BP/LP. I still need to match the levels as the BPF outputs are not as loud as the other modes. Also the resonance does not occur when using the 4poleHP output."

Blacet 2100 VCO +or 1 Octave Shift mostly monotone

Published on Feb 14, 2013 Nicholas Keller

"I decided to run the 1V/Oct MAQ16/3 sequence to an A-156 Dual Quantizer to a manual switch before routing it to the Blacet 2100 VCO input. This way the pattern could focus on the root note and the Octave Shift. I switch back and forth between straight one-note sequence and the Octave Shift so you can hear the difference. Transposing of the one-note rhythm begins at about 4m08s. The Octave Shift is modified by a Ramp LFO with reset."

Blacet 2100 VCO +or 1 Octave Shift w Joystick control

Published on Feb 14, 2013

"Have a listen to 'Take My BreathAway' (Mylo Remix) by The Knife. At around the 2 minute mark, it almost sounds like Mylo is changing the Octave setting of whatever synth is being used while the sequence is running. I imagined I could do this using the Blacet VCO's +/-1 Octave input and a bi-polar joystick like a Doepfer A-174.

My version uses samples from the original, but I reprogrammed the synth line to play from my modular using the Blacet 2100 VCO, an A-115 Audio Divider, and with +/-1 Octave control from a joystick."

Doepfer A-155 repeats

Published on Aug 16, 2015 Nicholas Keller

"Example of repeats using MAQ16/3 to advance A-155. 16th pattern from row 1 sent to envelope, 16th note pattern from row 2 is sent to clock in on A-155 and then some steps are muted to create repeats."

"1 of 2 made by the legendary Thomas Henry- Midwest Analog Products Drumbox. Contains kick and snare engines with 2 voices for the snare drum. Individual triggers and outputs for both, as well as a mix output. Also includes KADI in for triggering pre MIDI devices / drum machines. Completely hand made. Excellent condition, the only flaws being those of it's original hand-made nature. This thing is incredible- only selling to thin out some of my lesser used items for a new studio purchase. Comes with power cable. NOTE: The video shows the master volume with a blue 'Paia' style knob. I installed a black knob on it before the pictures were taken. I will include the original blue one"

Oberheim OBXA

via this auction

"Oberheim OBXA in great working condition. Serviced in the last 12 months. Sounds amazing. All 8 voice cards work and are in tune. I don't even need to press the auto tune button as the voice cards have been fine tuned extremely well. The keys have also had some work done, the action feels great. I spent a lot of time and money getting this Oberheim up to scratch and I won't be seeing a profit from this sale. Reason I'm selling is because I'm moving into a smaller apartment and simply won't have the space. There is one issue I have with the keyboard in that sometimes when I turn the keyboard on it doesn't make a sound. I tend to just turn it off and then on and again and it works fine. I've talked to my keyboard tech about this (who happens to have an OBXA as well) and he believes it to be an under voltage when it comes to the battery which is a common thing to happen for these OBXAs. So it should be a simple fix..."

Dinky's Taiko-Test 2

Published on Aug 15, 2015 PaulLawlerMusic

"Dinky's Taiko is being triggered by Grids, which is also triggering the BD909 for the 4/4 Kick. I also have an LFO modulating the End Freq on Dinky's. The whole signal is then going through the Z-DSP Delay.
