Circuit Bent Yamaha RX7 and Nintendo NES
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
YouTube via Destroyifyer ” This is a circuit bent Yamaha RX7 and an NES. As a warning, there are many loud, high pitched sounds in this video.” via this auction “4 point patch grid on both machines, RX7 has a 24 channel mixer split into 4 groups of 6 by 3 switches. The RX7 has 6 fully routable pots (four 50k, one 250k and one 500k) connected by 5 switches and a 6th routes the last to the first making a loop. The NES has 8 routable pots (six 50k, one 100k, and one 250k) connected by 7 switches with an 8th that routes the last to the first. The video and the sound of the NES can be modified, triggered and controlled with the RX7, and the NES can mod its own picture by itself as well as sounds of the RX7. Both machines are fully functional, the NES is excellent and plays games without hesitation or glitches. RX7 will come with many of the drums edited, which can all easily be reset to the original factory settings if desired. A couple of the factory kits have been delightfully mangled to be very non-decaying and sound oriented to take a break from drum sounds if you wish… these can be easily overwritten (although they have been saved with the factory settings if they are missed). The RX7 is capable of making many non-drum noises and by both using the patch-grid and programming the machine a good selection of sounds can be achieved. It is recommended to research the RX7 and its capabilities if unfamiliar with this machine. Accessories include an NES controller, a 9V power adapter and random game for the NES, a power adapter and owner’s manual for the RX7, as well as plenty of patch cables. The price of shipping includes insurance. For international bidders, please contact me a day or so in advance for a shipping quote. These machines will go to the highest bidder and ship out somewhat immediately. Right-click and “save target as” or similar mac operation to listen.

Cwejman CTG-VC Complex Transient Generator
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
samples at Analogue Haven “the envelope generator provide control voltages that can be used for dynamic change of all voltage controlled parameters, such as; frequency, amplitude, pulse width, cutoff. the most common use is controlling filters cutoff frequency and a voltage controlled amplifiers amplitude in order to achieve dynamic timbre- and level-changes. all parameters such as attack time, attack hold time, decay time, sustain level, release time and output level are voltage controlled. the ctg-vc is a complex transient generator with a lot of features, such as; two different shapes for the attack, attack hold (a-hold) for more punchier sound than a standard attack, variable decay slope (d-slope) from natural exponential to heavy logarithmic, attack-decay loop (a-d loop) and polarized level for outgoing transient signals which means that both outputs levels are controllable in both directions (positive and negative). a-d loop switch activates, when on, a steady state attack/dacay generator and the rate is determinated by attack/decay time and attack/decay modes. the external signal alone in to the a-d restart input start a single a-d transient for every new external signals a-d restart period (every shape). the sustain level should be in pos. 0. zero restart resets (when on) the remaining release voltage for new gate signal so attack starts always from 0.”
Cwejman BLD – Bass-Lead & Drum Generator
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
samples at Analogue Haven “the bld has all components and functions necessary for generating bass lead and drum sounds with focus on bass drum sounds. it can be trigged by a push button or by an external signal (any shape). the pitch, cutoff frequency, transient times and amplitude are also voltage controllable by external signals. the bld contain main sound generator (oscillator) and noise generator and modifiers such as low pass filter, amplifier and two transient (contour) generators. oscillator has two manual pitch controllers (fine, coarse) and two inputs for controlling the pitch by external signals (fm1, levelled, bipolar pre-patched to transient generator ar and fm2, calibrated to 1 volt/octave). waveforms and mix between shapes is controlled manually from triangle, mix between triangle and pulse, pulse, mix between pulse and saw tooth and saw tooth). oscillator level is controlled manually from 0 thru nominal signal strength to saturated (curved, for more punch). pulse width is controlled manually and by an external signal (pwm). low pass filter has two audio inputs marked oscillator level and noise level, the cutoff frequency is controlled manually, transient generators ar and ahr and by cutoff pre-patched to fm2 cv input. noise generator is connected to the low pass filter and to the amplifier (noise level). the noise generator can be routed in to the amplifier (pre) or directly to the output amp (post).
Tuvan Throat Singing & Theremin
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
YouTube via copperleaves “Here is a short improv for Tuvan/Mongolian throat singing (a style known as “khoomei”) and MIDI theremin. The instrument you see me holding in the video is called a “morin xuur” or “horse fiddle”. It is normally played with a bow but in this composition I pluck the strings and also drum my fingers on it to play rhythmic patterns. I’m afraid I’m not a particularly good throat singer, but I do enjoy doing it a lot and I greatly admire the Tuvan and Mongolian musicians who are the real masters of it. The MIDI theremin you see in this video is the Moog MIDI Ethervox.”

Open Question: What is the difference(in playing, and functioning) between an analog synthesizer and a digital one?
Friday, January 29th, 2010
It seems to me that digital is easier to play because you have all types of sounds and you just select them from a list on the display screen like on the motif xs keyboards. On the analog, you have to know just how much to rotate the damn knob to produce the desired sound, right? Isn’t digital easier for a a beginner? Also, I asked in my previous question that wasn’t answered, which way is better to go with the synth? Playing by ear or by sheet music? I have 3 choices and one more question: My choices are: 1) Yamaha Motif XS6 2) Alesis Andromeda A6 3) Access Virus TI2 I know the motif is digital, and I know the A6 Andromeda is pure analog. But how about the virus TI. The damn knobs make me think it is an analog keyboard, but considering the sounds I heard from the Access and the ease of use make me think it is digital.
