Prophet 6, DFAM, Lyra 8 and Matriarch (Blood Of The Vampire)

Published on Apr 18, 2020 Tarek Mansur

"Late night dark industrial vampire ambient JAM.
Sending Moog DFAM to the input of the Lyra 8 to use it's fx (dist and delay).
The Prophet 6 does some ambient together with the Moog Matriarch and Lyra 8. I'm using UAD plugins such as the Lexicon 224 reverb and some distortion."

"The ultra-rare Folktek Elysian Drum Scape Limited Edition in very good working and cosmetic condition with AC adapter and manual.

These units are extremely rare.

From the Folktek website:
These are sold out and the final run in complete. This drum scape is a small series of works created by Arius Blaze.

The Elysian is capable of everything are - with exactly the same oscillators and delay, but Voltage Control (1/8" CV) has been added to integrate into other analog systems/cv sequencers. Control over the oscillators as well as the delay time.

The boxes are oak, 1/8" output jack, 5x 1/8" cv jacks, control over delay time (from extremely notated tight to about 1.5 seconds with near infinite repeat for loops), control over each of the oscillators with custom brass keys for each, 2 custom lamps glow warm white, custom switches for delay time and drum mode (3 modes)."

"All Hail the Eye tone

"See your pitch!"

Manufactured by Fuji Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., the Eye tone is an aide to vocal training - plug in a microphone to get visual feedback via it's 2 lamp system. One shows you are within range, the other lights up when you are 'spot on'.

This function, however, lends itself well to monitoring drones. Here, I use it to track pitch coming from a variable speed tape player as I attempt to glide between tones and 'enhance my multi-tasking abilities' beyond their infancy.

Sounds:
O2 Minipops
Hougaku Conductor with step sequencer
2 cassette tape players modified for variable speed:
- one playing a drone, the other birdsong
Suiko ST20 - Shakuhachi/Koto/Pipe Organ 'synth'

Effects:
Aria spring reverb on O2 Minipops
Lots of Korg SDD-3300 on the cassette players
The Hougaku Conductor runs through a Roland VX-66 Echo Mixer and the Suiko ST20 through an ELK EM-13 Analog Echo, before the main mixer"

Watcher of the skies intro (cover with analog synthesizer)

Published on Apr 18, 2020 GS Music

"Performing the intro of 'Watcher of the skies' by Genesis using Zeus, an analog polyphonic synthesizer prototype in which we are working.

The sound was creating two sawtooth + pulse oscillators with suboscillators. Some modulation from the polyphonic LFOs to the oscillators and the amplifier was added.
Finally, the sound was processed by the built-in stereo chorus and delay.

Watcher of the skies is a Genesis song and was written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford."

Mr Grassi by Ieaskul F. Mobenthey

Published on Apr 18, 2020 CatSynth TV

"We explore Mr. Grassi, a chaotic touchpad module from Ieaskul F. Mobenthey. We start with a simple audio output then use it to drive increasingly complex moular patches.

0:10 Introduction to Mr. Grassi and rungling
0:41 Direct audio output
1:01 Sending rungler audio to the Strymon Magneto
1:35 Moog Mother-32: Modulating the oscillator frequency and triggering the envelope
2:00 Running a rungler through a rotating clock divider (Max/MSP/BEAP)
2:32 Controlling pitch and timbre of the Sputnik Dual Oscillator; triggering the Sinc Bucina LPG
3:11 Adding two channels from Mr. Grassi to control Comb and Time parameters on the Qu-Bit Prism

"Grassi, a touch-module, contains twelve square waves, used as the clock and data for shift registers, each followed by primitive resistor DAC. The DACs modulate clock and counter-clock wise, yielding closed loops of perpetual modulation, triggered by touch. Each of the six outputs are a single, four-bit DAC. Listening to them raw, they generate modem sounds to pure noise on touch. On release of touch, each DAC holds the contingent position of its DATA. Thus the DATA can be used as CV for up to six other operators, scrambled on touch...

Rungling, a coin of Rob Hordijk, is exactly what Mister Grassi does. He takes two oscillators and mixes them in the shift register chip, treating one as data and the other as clock. The result, a memory heterodyne, feeds back into the oscillators. This circular process traverses both analog and digital, soft tones and square drones."
