Follow the Wiggle (Waveform) - Dr. Bob's SoundSchool

Published on Aug 29, 2016 moogfoundation

"The second grade children of Claxton Elementary School for the Arts and Humanities recorded a song about what they learned during their 10 weeks of Dr. Bob 's SoundSchool. We were fortunate to bring them to Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville. They worked with their teachers to write original lyrics, and to prepare for this recording!

Buchla 258e Dual Oscillator Tests by Todd Barton

"test driving a prototype that came across my desk of a 258e Sine/Saw--Sine/Square oscillator. this has tons of modulation possibilities. Osc A Sine-Saw in Left Channel and Osc B in Right Channel. No effects except for a little reverb on the drone beginning at 4'23". From 2'16" to 3'42" I haltingly scroll up and down through 8 presets based on a single patch, just trying different modulations. From 3'43" to 4'22" a similar scroll though more extreme modulations."

"another test drive of the 258e sine/saw--sine/square dual oscillator. All snippets are self-generating, single-pass Krell patches using just the 258e as sound source. No overdubs and only some reverb in post."

Modular Gameboy Triple Arduinoboy

Published on Jul 10, 2016

Note there are two videos in this set:
Modular Gameboy triple Arduinoboy
ARDUINOBOY triple gameboy modular synth

Some of you might remember the first iteration of the Triple Gameboy Arduino posted in 2011 here.

Details from the first video above:

"GAMEBOY TRIPLE OSCILLATOR
heres some holy chill music from some LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER DIY synth.
WWW.ZIBRAZIBRAZIBRA.COM

Is something i initally made 3 years ago as a stand alone module to match some other gameboy powered modular machines i built, but it got taken apart i found it in the shed a couple of weeks ago and it was rusted and mouldy, so i took the idea and made it better. this one is midi, in this video it is sequenced by a number of Arduino midi sequencers designed around a modified code of this :- http://brendanclarke.com/…/04/23/arduino-based-midi-sequen…/

Its core is an Arduinoboy designed by Trash80 with some EMS smart cards with his mGB software on them. on top of that it has some oscillators which effect the clock of the gameboys, hence making them tuneable by slowing up and down the gameboys speed, all 3 of them work off each other to make a fatter version of just 1 of them that is all. the processor clock speed is also controllable by CV. the initial sounds by the gameboys are channel 3 which is the WAVE channel, one of the midi sequencers up top out is used to record the cc from control voltage of that knob to the right which controls the wave table.

the pulse channels and the wave channels are panned so they can be kind of seperate so they can go into different reverbs and into the mixer.

its all powered by the midi sequencers which is all clocked by an alesis hr16, i pre played in the apregiator style sound into one of the midi sequencers prior to recording this cus its really hard not to mess up, so just muted and unmuted that. along with a lot of drum patterns which are triggered by various step sequencers and probability triggers.

the front panel is loose because im having problems booting all of the gameboys up at the same time from the front panel, and seinse the back of the gameboys are inside ive kinda gotta pull it out and turn it on and off again if it crashes. but hopefully will be an easy fix.

the keyboard controller is a bit of a mess, the controls on the front panel was a master clock so i didnt have to use the Alesis HR16 but it didnt really work very well so i had to bypass all of that and solder the end of a midi cable straight to the arduino in the controller... work in progress.

its all doused in reverb to sound kinda HOLY.

SO YEAH HOLY GAMEBOY. you can find out more on the older project at :-
ZIBRAZIBRAZIBRA.COM
and the old one i built is here :- [posted here]
filmed and added some closeups after. hence the clock speed being slow in the close ups."

"just a video on how to build a synth if you need to go on tour in a couple of days."

Created a new Zibra label for these. You can find some of the finished DIY featured here. Some of it appears to be based on MFOS.

Arturia Minibrute and Micbrobrute Combo Frankenstein Analog Synth

"For sale is a Minibrute without its Keys, and a Microbrute in perfect condition. The Minibrute is still 100% fully functional as a sound module, I just needed to save space and came up with this creation. So how does it work?

There is enough space underneath the electronic components of the minibrute for the cabling to plug into the back of the microbrute. The cables run along the back of the microbrute and out the small gap between the two units.

There are a couple ways you can sequence the two simultaneously or independently. Using USB and MIDI you can treat it like a 2 voice synth with an extra LFO and ENV to share between them. You could also take the Pitch CV Out of the microbrute to the pitch CV in of the minibrute to play the minibrute from the microrbute. It just depends on what you want to do with it.

I built a little stand for it and it was really comfortable to play when mounted up like in the pictures."
