Richard Horsman's Lockdown Lab - The MidiThing emerges...

Published on May 27, 2020 Richard Horsman

"I've been coding/tinkering with/swearing at something, Something to initially generate beats and send them via MIDI to my modular and to sync the whole shebang with Ableton Live. This is the first step towards something more innovative - decoding images and playing 'listenable-to' modular tunage based on the data found in them. Rough camera work and iPhone audio seem to be my hallmark! I'm pleased with the sexy reset routine that shortest-path-eases all the dials back to their starting points. It features towards the end of the video for about 0.5 seconds - well worth the day of brow furrowing and hair pulling! For bonus points see if you can spot when the phrase 'ticking' switches from 'Rolex' to 'Timex' mode :)"

GRP A-2 // ROME DRONES // A2 // 3

Published on May 27, 2020 LESINDES

"My GRP A-2 is broken. The envelopes won't trigger any more. That's a pity but not a catastophe -- Ther is so much synth left -- it is a highly capable synth with a lush sound -- warm and singing but still precise. Sohow about some drones? ROME DRONES to be specific. The result of this emergency performance is published here.
This is PART 1.

PART 1: Pure GRP A-2 singing tibetian monk like overtones etc.
PART 2: GRP A-2 with some analog echo enhancement -- TC ELECTRONIC ECHOBRAIN stomp box.
PART 3: Technoid Ryhthms."

Make Noise 0-CTRL With a 1973 Moog Modular

Published on May 27, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"The Make Noise 0-CTRL is a sequencer and touch keyboard in the same form factor as the 0-Coast. Like the 0-Coast the 0-CTRL has roots in both east and west coast synthesizers as it has features of both the Moog 960 sequencer and the Serge TKB, and also some fun new additions. We had a 1973 Moog Model 12 system with a highpass filter and filter coupler so we decided to use that with the 0-CTRL.

The 0-CTRL is an 8 step sequencer with 3 rows of CV outputs, one row is normalized to a CV output so that you could control the pitch or another parameter of you synthesizer. The second row is normalized to a dynamic gate generator which can output gates of varying voltage levels for more dynamic sequences, there is also a built in envelope generator which we are using here instead of the envelopes in the Moog system. The third row is normalized to the time control of the sequencer clock so that you can create sequences where each step varies in time. The 0-CTRL is not just a sequencer but also a touch keyboard with pressure CV out similar to Pressure Points.

The Analogue Renaissance REV -1 - SSM Based Chip

Published on May 27, 2020 Syntaur

"Syntaur's Sam Mims install the prototype of Analogue Renaissance's REV -1 into a Prophet 5. This amazing board replaces the CEM filter chips in a Rev 3 Prophet, and dials it back to the sound of the highly coveted Rev 2! Additionally, it adds two switches which allow the selection of either 4-pole or 2-pole filtering, and which add Q-Compensation, to make up for bass frequencies that are normally lost with high-resonance sounds. The sonic result is beastly!"

Curious if the new Sound Semiconductor SSI2140 can be swapped in as well. Note the Analogue Renaissance's REV -1 is a different chip.
