guitar-controlled monosynth pedal

Published on Nov 2, 2018 Dean Miller

"This is a pedal that is currently in the works! It's a monosynth that is controlled by a guitar. I still have 50% or more of the available DSP cycles to use on streamlining, filtering, and shaping some nice synth sounds before the pedal is finished.
This video uses a Boss RC-1 looper and the pedal is direct in with no additional processing."

Mark Verbos on Designing Modular Synths | Red Bull Music Academy

Published on Nov 2, 2018 Red Bull Music Academy

"In this episode of Studio Science, recorded at the Funkhaus as part of Red Bull Music Academy Berlin 2018, Mark Verbos explained his approach to designing hardware using his own modules as well as insights from his years as a musician, engineer and Buchla student. #RBMA20 #modular

Mark Verbos is a self-described “product of the early Midwest US underground electronic music scene.” The Milwaukee native first began performing improvised live shows in 1992 and releasing in 1994 on a variety of local and national labels. Performing on hardware from the beginning of his career, Verbos soon began to develop an interest in how the machines he used were made. Learning from the go-to repair man for vintage Buchla instruments, Verbos began to create his own machines as well as repair others. In the process he developed what he calls a deep interest in the Buchla philosophy of designing instruments and not tools. In 2014, having since relocated to Berlin, Verbos’ love affair and interest with hardware synths took a new step with the founding of his own company, Verbos Electronics, which manufactures Eurorack modules and modular systems that carry on Don Buchla's esteemed tradition to new generations of synth enthusiasts.

The Red Bull Music Academy is a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music. We celebrate music, its culture, and the transformative minds behind it. Begun in 1998, the Academy has taken the core principles that underlie its annual workshop for selected participants and applied this curatorial approach to events, lectures, and city-wide festivals throughout the year."

Buchla - Music Easel Aux Card Expander

"Add additional functions to the already versatile Music Easel via the Program Card connector!
The Aux Card offers an auxiliary modulation CV source and noise source in low range and a CV/audio oscillator source in high range that can be mixed with the noise source. The noise source also can be filtered. All these parameters are CV controllable. In low range this auxiliary modulation oscillator allows the 208’s Modulation Oscillator to assume audio duties and can be used as the modulation source for a variety of uses. In the keyboard bus setting, it provides a tuning reference for your 208 or can be controlled with internal bus capable 218e keyboards.

We’ve also given you more control with more inputs. We’ve added one more pulse input and give you a choice of switchable destinations. We also added switchable control of timbre pot and switches via the “to card” inputs already on your 208. Did you know you could CV control switch settings? Destinations include the timbre wave shape, the Modulation range, gate source, the VCA LPF mode, the Modulation wave shape and Modulation Variation."

Not sure if this is the one in the previous video here. There's no mention of the video in the listing but the lighting and units look the same and I couldn't find any others on eBay. Decided to post this separately.
