BugBrand AudioWeevil08

"AudioWeevil08
Note this is not in production yet!
Added 20th Aug 08

After many months of refinement, I can finally announce the new AudioWeevil08! This version really raises the bar in terms of response, feel and design.

A wide variety of features are packed into this Weevil - have a check of the block diagram to the left to see how the signal flows. The box is both a synth-sound generator and an audio processor - oh, with a load of chaos possibilities chucked in too." More images and info here. Be sure to see this post as well.

You can find a description for this video in German under the more info link on this YouTube page, or in Googlish here.

via swissdoc:
"Spliff is a German band from the 80s, very nice stuff and they had a fine
keyboarder Reinhold Heil and a cool drummer using Simmons Herwig Mitteregger"

Check out the other tracks from the album 85555 under Related Videos Features JP8 and TR808 and more you will see yourself

Reinhold Heil had a girlfriend Rosemarie Precht, together they recorded under the name Cosa Rosa. In this vid they use Yamaha CS-30 and CS-01. I think the guy playing the CS-01 is Reinhold Heil.

AMPLIFIED & EFFECTED SKATEBOARD LEDGE/ RAILING

YouTube via insomekneeact. Sent my way via devi.
"The skateboarder has become one of the significant examples of dynamic movement and interpretation of the urban landscape. The skateboard has also become synonymous with public destruction and noise - always a calling card for social / public complaint and public control. Mixing the elements of the skateboard and its interpretation of something abstract like a handrail can also be highlighted via the media arts to recognize the audio elements within the relationship between the skateboard, the railing, and the physicality of the skateboarder.

This performance was planned for the Project Sound Wave Series (3) Sound Festival June 27th 2008 in San Francisco CA. We were denied entry into the States and Homeland Security fingerprinted and blackmarked Nicolay. The result was this video performance done in Vancouver which was screened at the festival on the 27th in San Francisco."

Update via Loren Norell in the comments:
"It is Hans Zimmer, it was taken from an 1980s British magazine (Electronics and Music Maker?). It was in an article on some band that Hans and Warren Cann had formed with some cabaret singer and a concert they gave with too much gear. The modular synth was only a part of what he used in the concert. BTW it is Moog modular with Roland 700 modules and a sequential circuits programmer on the far left. I have that issue of the magazine somewhere, although I'm not sure where it is at the moment."

Combined LFO Pattern

YouTube via isotopeofme
"LFOs are great. Modulation is the heart of many good sounds, but a single LFO can get boring. Up, Down, Up, Down. So why not mix 2 of them together? Here's an example of a slightly more complex pattern made by summing 2 midi synchronized LFOs at the Linear VCA.

The patch is extremely basic, a simple 2 OSC saw fed to a 24 DB lowpass filter. the output of the combined LFOs is brought into the secondary VC input on the LPF creating a syncopated pattern.

Making of a drum synth

via Making of a drum synth:
"The Beginning
Today I'm starting the blog which is dedicated to the development of an analog drum synthesizer. I was asking myself for a long time if I really should start this since there are already too many blogs out-there (in my opinion) with doubtful content sometimes. Anyway, this is about building a analog drum computer. A drum computer is a device on which rhythms can be programmed, it is one of the basic ingredients for all sorts of electronic music. There are some famous examples of drum computers such as the tr-808 from roland which is unfortunately not produced anymore."

The Appendage - Softpot Ribbon Controller

Read and see more via Scott Stites on this electro-music.com thread. The following are excerpts only.

"This is the core of the Appendage - it takes a pressure event and translates it into three unique control voltages (continuous, intial value and differential) and produces the timing signal for gate and trigger. Everything past that is downhill. These signals can be manipulated to do an astounding number of things, simultaneously.

The way I see it, if you want a standard ribbon controller, go buy the Doepfer. From the videos I've seen, it's pretty cool. The Appendage, however, is going to be a different beast. I envision it as a cross between a ribbon controller and a Buchlian gestural controller.

Position, relative position, rate of movement, direction of movement (split even into different directions) will be able to control any parameter your synthesizer has, simultaneously. Mixing these control voltages is fascinating. For example, the amount of control mixing differential with initial provides is surprising. Mixing slide with initial creates a sort of hyper-range. Slide with slide bends the curve radically. I've even discovered a neat trill function (quite by accident)."

"Here's an idea for an Appendage controlled touch sequencer, which would be sort of like the Serge touch sequencer, but rather different as well.

First of all, it's based on an 8X2/16X1 sequencer I worked on shortly before I diverted into the Klee. You could use it as such. The addition of the Appendage would take it to another level.

Using window comparators, the Softpot is divided into eight touch zones, separated by "guard bands". Touching within each touch zone will activate the sequencer step so that either one or both of the pots would produce control voltages. Touching in the "dead zone" between the "touch zones" would not trigger the sequencer step. This ensures that you can accurately trigger whichever step you want to. Wiggling the finger on the touch zones will (if you want) wiggle the voltage for vibrato or filter or whatever. This would be somewhat like the Serge, which has dedicated plates for each stage.

The difference is you would have continuous slide for each "note" or "stage"; the "dead zones" would not be "dead" for slides - only for triggering the initial stage. That means you could do much more than wiggle your finger on a certain stage. You could hit stage 3, for example, and slide it up beyond the range of hearing if you cared to. Or down. Hitting the next stage would start the voltage at that stage's voltage and you could do the same. Obviously the more left you go, the less you can drop the voltage, and the more right you go, the less you can slide up."

Again, be sure to check out the full thread on electro-music.com if this interests you. The above is only an excerpt.

Mission Control

YouTube via worldsfair. KORG MS20
"'Mission Control,' the first video off The Dandy Warhols' sixth full-length, ...Earth to the Dandy Warhols..., epitomizes what the band and the album are: innovative and smart, self-aware and informed, and with a strong -- but never generic -- pop sensibility.

Shot in grainy sepia tones in the Dandys' own Odditorium, the video, directed by Mike Bruce, finds the band in space, playing their instruments as they float in zero gravity, frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor singing authoritatively, transmitting the band's message to the world down from the Moon. It's clever and fun, playing both on historical events and future occurrences, totally stuck-in-your-head catchy, the perfect depiction of what the Dandy Warhols are.

VERMONA DRM ANALOG DRUM MACHINE

via this auction

"Vintage Analog drum machine with TR style sequencer, made in Germany in 1987. There's not too much information available on the VERMONA DRM on the internet, so I will provide some of my own background knowledge.
It was released in 1987 by a German synthesizer company named Vermona. These days they are best known for their
analog drum module the Vermona DRM-1 MK3 .

It is the European answer to ROLAND's TR-X0X and CR-XXXX drum machines.

SEQUENCER:
First of all it offers a 32 step TR style sequencer. It is as simple to use as the roland machines.
It has 16 preset patterns and allows you to store 10 of your own. There is even support to chain patterns together, change pattern length, change time signature between 4/4 and 3/4. The unit is MIDI syncable, it will respond to midi clock, start and stop messages. It will also respond to MIDI note data allowing you to sequence the analog voices from any external piece of midi gear. It also transmits midi data as well allowing you to use it as your master clock source.

Alongside your preset and standard patterns you have fill mode, where the drum machine will play a drum fill. The ability to have just the bass drum playing. Flam is also available for the Toms.

In addition to the analog voice control their is a separate sequence for a trigger out, and 2 bizarre time signature sequences which can also be used as trigger outs.

SOUND:
The reason why I bought the Vermona was because I was so impressed by the sound. Just check out this video by KinK on youtube. For something over 20 years old it is surprisingly modern sounding.

KiNK composing live on Vermona DRM part II


"KiNK composing live on the vintage analog drummachine with a t.r. style sequencer - VERMONA Digital Rhythm Machine (part II : 24 step sequences)" There are 11 completely analog voices on this machine. The timbre of each voice cannot be modified. Bass Drum - Nothing like an 808 or 909. Very simple oscillator design with transient click. But great for electro/minimal pulsing bass drum. Low Tom - The toms are all pitch varients of each other, with separate circuits. They sound nothing like real toms, something like a 606 tom. Mid Tom - Great for melodic rhythmic patterns. High Tom Claves - Sounds exactly like an 808 clave to me. Cowbell - AWESOME sounding FM synthesis based cowbell. Uses 4 oscillators to create a very convincing tone. Snare 1 - Filtered noise ciruit snare. Sounds great. Snare 2 - Similar to snare 1 with less punch. Clap - Incredibly modern sounding hand clap. Short, no reverb. Nothing like a TR clap. Closed High Hat - The high hats sound very similar to the VERMONA DRM MK3 high hats. Probably based on the same noise circuit Open High Hat - Similar to a cr-8000 but very metallic sounding Cymbal and Accent.


MORE FEATURES:

There are 10 volume sliders to control each grouping of sounds. A master slider for volume. A slider of accent.

The back of the unit features LEFT and RIGHT audio outputs, whereby each instrument is panned by a preset amount. Also features a Headphone out. A dedicated Trigger out and 4 foot pedal inputs to control program change, start/stop, fill and bassdrum removal.

There is an odd european style input port on the back which gives you access to each AUDIO OUT of each instrument. Also each TRIGGER out of each instrument. A dedicated TRIGGER out. And 2 addition rhythm Triggers.

This machine has everything..."

Wiard Experimental Track

You can find the track on Mark Griffiths Music

"I have now completed a short experimental piece “I had lost my friend (No way out)”. I was trying out Native Instrument’s Vokator vocoder and the Wiard modular. I decided to combine the exploration by switching the vocoder into classic mode and using the Wiard as the carrier. So everything here is either Wiard or voice, with minimum additional processing other than a little convolution reverb and a vintage Korg analogue delay (SD 400). The patching of the Wiard is basic, I didn’t worry about ensuring all the tunings were even remotely similar, just turned the knobs until the tone was right. I also dispensed with a keyboard, using the Wiard sequantizer to generate pitch information."

Access Virus TI

images via this auction

"Increased Polyphony
New synth features for the Virus TI Desktop include greatly increased polyphony, 2 new oscillator types, a per-patch programmable arpeggiator, 16 x 2 delay/reverb fx, embedded singles in multi mode, and much more.

Bigger Display
In fact, a much bigger Liquid Crystal Display, which can show graphics (128x32 pixels). The Virus TI Desktop's display shows up to 4 rows of text and graphics. In most cases three parameters are being displayed at the same time. As a result, there are only 1/3 of the menu pages in comparison to the previous VIRUS series.

The First Sample Accurate Hardware Synth
The Access Virus TI Desktop links to your computer with VIRUSControl, a companion software product which ports the hardware synth into a host sequencer for use as a sample-accurate VST/AU instrument, simultaneously offering 2-way audio and MIDI connectivity, control surface functionality, editor and librarian functions, and more.

Quicker Editing
3 edit knobs underneath the Virus TI Desktop's display which can edit three parameters at the same time. The 3 soft knobs can also act as programmable and nameable knobs for every individual patch.

Scalable USB
A scalable USB link connects the Virus TI Desktop to a Mac or PC for total integration of synth and studio. The VIRUSControl™ plug-in automatically detects and connects the synth, ensuring a hassle-free configuration every time. From inside a host application, the plug-in enables the Virus TI Desktop to appear as a multi-channel VST/AU soft-synth with up to 4 sub-mixes (or 2 x stereo). Access' proprietary driver technology makes Virus TI Desktop the world's first hardware synthesizer with sample-accuracy timing and a delay-compensated audio/MIDI connection. Seamless interconnectivity also provides a real benefit in the software sequencer environment. All multi-timbral sounds and settings used for a project are stored within it with the plug-in, for snapshot total recall plus editor and librarian functions with no SysEx or 3rd party software hassles.

24-bit 192KHz Balanced Analog, S/PDIF I/O and MIDI
The new Virus TI Desktop is also well-equipped to capitalize on the power of Total Integration. With 24-bit 192KHz balanced analog, S/PDIF I/O and MIDI in and out ports, the new Virus TI Desktop is well-suited for use as the main audio and MIDI I/O center for your entire rig. These functions are especially practical for the laptop studio, offering an unmatched range of features and capabilities from one product.

Remote Mode
Additionally, a new Remote Mode allows the Virus TI Desktop to become a control surface for any MIDI-capable device or software, mapping each of the 33 knobs to a specific MIDI message. Virus TI Desktop ships with a great selection of templates and includes 32-user memories for custom controller maps. It's a powerful addition that greatly increases the value of the synth's studio footprint.

* Increased polyphony, 2 new oscillator types, arpeggiator, 16 x 2 delay/reverb fx.
* Bigger Display.
* Functions as a sample accurate VST/AU instrument.
* 2-way audio and MIDI connectivity, control surface functionality, editor and librarian functions.
* Quicker Editing.
* Scalable USB link for total integration of synth and studio.
* 24-bit/192KHz studio-grade converters, S/PDIF I/O and MIDI in and out ports.
* Remote Mode allows the VIRUS hardware to become a control surface for any MIDI-capable device or software.
* The VIRUS TI can play over 1800 oscillators in realtime!
* Legendary sound of Access.
* Tap Tempo button helps live VIRUS musicians stay in sync with drummers and turntablists.
* Dual-DSP core delivers stellar performance with super-low latency.
* Drastically expanded onboard memory."
