EDP Caterpillar for EDP Wasp Synthesizer

"An extremely rare 'Caterpillar' controller designed by Chris Huggett. The caterpillar has four ports on the back for controlling up to four EDP synthesizers via 7 pin DIN sockets. One link cable is also included (not pictured in this sale).

As you can see this has aged really well, and has been recently serviced by SRS prior to sale.

The two controls on the front panel are for:

1. selecting how many devices you want to control (1-4 or Voice setting).
2. Selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle, there is also a separate Hold setting that gives you the option of also selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle.

The unit powers off of a single 9V battery.

Note: There is a design flaw with the Wasp circuitry that does not allow the lowest C note (first key from the left) to trigger the Wasp. However by the time EDP designed the Gnat they fixed this problem and the lowest C note will trigger a Gnat, this has been tested as I also own a Gnat and Gnat Special. The unit has been tested working fully prior to listing.

This is not a synth but a controller please be informed :)"

"Vintage 1975 Korg V-C-F effects unit, made in Japan. This is a voltage controlled filter with onboard knob and slider controls for the signal parameters, plus an external treadle pedal for optional foot control of the sweep. These were considered the first "guitar synths" for their unique filter manipulation.

Perfect clean operation and the full complete original set in near mint condition as pictured. Includes the main unit, treadle pedal, connector cable, box, manual (in Japanese & English), plus original warranty cards from its first retail sale in Japan. This unit is designed for operation at 100VAC, so a voltage converter will be required for use anywhere outside Japan."

canyon loops


canyon loops from ioflow on Vimeo.

"experimental ambient. live performance for monome norns.

two rhodes improvisations were recorded into norns and loaded into mlr. also present is a field recording of an anna's hummingbird, taken while on a nature walk in a canyon preserve.

the main rhodes improvisation is duplicated across the first two tracks. the second, shorter rhodes improvisation is on the third track, just above the hummingbird loop. all the rhodes tracks are played at different speeds and directions, jumbled, chopped and switched, accompanied by the gentle sounds of the hummingbird chirping happily to itself in the shadows of the dense canyon foliage, on a warm summer day.

this is my first recording with monome norns. sample-based grid apps--mlr, mlrv, rove, and all their variants--have been a part of my creative workflow for several years. being freed from the confines of desktop computers and their fidgety, cantankerous operating systems and software stacks; instead being able focus on the immediacy of hardware music-making, as easily as sitting down at my piano, is incredibly liberating. it's pretty much everything i've wanted to be able to do since i got my first monome grid in 2011. norns is wonderful, so full of possibilities. i'm looking forward to fulfilling more musical dreams."

Synthrotek VCO | Modular Vignette Series


Published on Aug 3, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"Showcasing some of the incredibly rich sounds you can achieve with the Synthrotek Analog VCO. Everything that you hear me playing on the keyboard (Sequential Circuits Six-Trak) are actually sounds coming from the Synthrotek VCO only. (I'm just using the keyboard as a midi controller)

This VCO is based on the Curtis CEM3340 reissue chip. You can learn more about it here: http://store.synthrotek.com/VCO--Anal...

Patch Notes: I'm using all three outputs simultaneously in this video. I start with the Saw and Pulse panned left and right, then add a patch to modulate pulsewidth through the pulse width modulation input, giving a really thick sound. Eventually, I create a harsher tone taking advantage of the mod in, using the pulse from another oscillator to rough up the Synthrotek VCO's sound. Finally, I add in the final wave from the VCO which is the Triangle wave, running through the Synthrotek Fold module. This creates a sharp attack for the FM sound. All envelopes and LFO's are coming from the Synthrotek Quadrangle, and VCA, pathced finally into the Synthrotek Stereo Mixer."
