New Site Menu Location


Just a heads up, I moved the top site links over to the right, directly below the site's search box. I made the links a darker green as the standard blue was too bright. The move allows the main posts to move up just a bit and it aligns the top banners on the right better with the first post.

Mother of Moog Werkstatt Mods - teaser.


Published on Oct 19, 2015 Peter Churchyard

"The announcement of the Moog Mother 32 semi modular synth gave me the idea to re work the mods I had made before to my Werkstatt. The idea is to try and get close to the specs of the Mother 32. So I am calling this mod - 'Mutter zweiunddreiƟig' :)

Basic Mods:
Use cpu from an Arduino UNO to control the Werkstatt.
Control the keyboard logic and D/A convertor so the cpu can 'play' notes. This includes a +1 octave and a +2 octave circuit to give 4 octave 'digital' range.
Added leds for status indicators.
Added Midi in and output.
Added level shifters so the cpu can read the LFO rate, VCO freq, vco PWM and filter cutoff knobs.
Added level shift to read LFO voltage by cpu.

Still in progress:
Add extra low profile switches to control the cpu functions.
Add PWM - CR filter to cutoff to allow simple filter cutoff control.
Read the key matrix so can control cpu/send note data via midi.
Add PWM - CR filter to give semi tone pitch 'bend'

I will be posting more info at http://moddersandrockers.com/werkstatt

"SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE!

Advanced field recorder combined with sound warp engine with a collection of ready to use dynamic presets for iPad and iPhone. Discover new ways to create and construct unusual and exciting sounds from any environmental audio recordings or samples recorded from other apps through Inter-App audio or Audiobus.

The main purpose of this advanced app is to shorten the way from recording samples to create spectacular soundscapes and in addition to use this app as glitch loop based effect in the real-time.

The FieldScaper consists of two main parts. The first part is the field recorder with special options for different ways of record environmental sound from microphone or record other sound sources. The second part is the scaper sound engine that with using dynamic presets can easily transform the most ordinary samples into something absolutely different. These parts connect with each other into one whole but you can use recorder or scaper separately.

The scaper sound engine contains three sample-based oscillators each with filters, delay, distortion and spatial mixer. The most of parameters can be assigned on individual low-frequency oscillators. With using the "Main effect" fader you can control several these parameters in different ranges. These features give you the abilty to create continuously changing, breaking and glitching sound forms and loop-based effects from ordinary samples of synths, guitars, voices or everyday sounds of the environment.

FieldScaper supports complete MIDI control for all faders, knobs and many buttons. You can change the parameters of oscillators, filters, delays and mixer by using any external MIDI controller or MIDI apps like sequencers. With the MIDI controllers this app becomes very comfortable to use at live performance.

Field recorder:

● Loop based mode for recording and processing in real-time.
● Auto start record when input signal appears.
● Auto stop record when silence or by time.
● Record timer in seconds or measures.
● Monitoring input signal with different modes.
● Automatic gain control of input signal.
● Predefined filters for input.
● Noise gate on the input.

Scaper sound engine:

● Three sample-based oscillators with complete processing.
● Low-pass, high-pass and band-pass filters with resonance.
● Two range delay with smooth time change and additional modes.
● Spatial mixer/reverb with side and distance.
● Wide range of oscillator clock speed change with reverse.
● Distortion effect based on masking sample address (like circuit bending).
● Distortion effect consisting of lofi, overload, noise and ring modulation.
● Individual LFO for variable parameters of oscillators and filters.
● The "Main effect" function for control several parameters simultaneously.
● Presets for save all parameters of oscillator and filters.

Additional features:

● Predefined presets with wide range of effects.
● Convenient file manager with groups of files by name or date.
● Complete MIDI control for all faders, knobs and other modes.
● Possibility to download additional samples in different audio formats.
● Uploading samples thru Web access, clipboard, from another app and iTunes.
● Different color schemes available for the user interface.
● Detailed application description.
● Supports Audiobus with "State Saving" feature.
● Inter-App audio compatible."

"Condition: Item is in rough condition. There are scratches overall on the wood. The top upper most wood is cracked and there is also a crack in the bottom cover. Units cord was cut and has since been soldered and temporarilly repaired to test for functionality. It is advise to have the cord professionally repaired for use. Unit is missing "Sustain" & "Volume" knobs.

Functional Notes: Unit tested to power, the power light is non operational. We were able to produce sound from each key on main output and headphone jack. Oscillator Bank knobs/functions are all responsive. No further testing performed. This unit is being sold completely as is for parts/repair."
