today we see the envelope generator and the VCA. next is simplifying the circuit, omiting some components and the schematic. then adding more things as there are a few other parts i want to add to this synth voice

this is the filter for the synth voice, i will be making a schematic at the end, and overlaying it to the video with the components added as i go along. and the odd changes and annotations i have made for it here and there. but this is a low pass filter.

today we track the VCO's and modify the second to also become an LFO.
2023-08-06 13:51:38 +0000 UTC View Post
This is 2 VCO's, a Noise and a Mixer breadboarded. The next video will be modifying the second VCO to also be an LFO to modulate things, and also sort out the tracking for the oscillators to play in tune.
im planning to finish the synth car dash board this month, it fell of the list as i got rid of the green mini that this dashboard was for, the orange mini didnt have the right dials for it, but mr plastic has now become synth mini. its better as mr plastic has a smaller quieter e...

hey up! here is a wav and mp3 of the live version and also a vocal stem from the recording, you can chop it up make a remix if you wish like the other songs i have put stems up. likewise you can overlay it on top of the instrumental version and bring it in and out haha who knows.
2023-07-30 10:09:13 +0000 UTC View Postthis song is called Night Or Day, song will be out tomozzo! figuring out a live version as we speak! You may recognise the riff, been in and out played it at shows, livestreams and also i think a few of the vids.

this one was too odd to pass up!
if anyone knows where the documentation is from please let us know! it would greatly help with the vid :D. more from historical context, as the schematics speak for themselves on the synth, but its source is somewhat a mystery partially down to the language barrier

hello. i am now back on it like a car bonnet.
my apologies for not much last week, it was quite a trying week, but you'll be pleased to know all turned out fine, all i know is hospital chairs are the most frustrating things to sleep in!.
the next video is on the Estradin 230. in the next couple of days, here are some sounds from the demonstration, it is what it is. a pretty good minimoog knock off!
the song NIGHT OR DAY is out on wednesday (not this one but the n...

a look at some changes in the museum, planned changes, and videos. racking up a fair list haha. aswell as some vocal robot sounds through the powertran.

time to plug it into more drums, first with reverb to increase the tail. then excite it with a furby! amongst others. oh and doing stupid sentences to excite the bass line!
sounds from the drum recordings and furbies below!

in this video im beginning to get sounds out of the powertran vocoder. it sounds like theres a loose connection somewhere! i need to get to the bottom of that before the next part of this video, aiming to get a video on this out next week. including a breadboarding part to the video and the history ofcourse!
theres is a bit of an odd video this week i must be honest i have had a bit of a glum old week making it hard to get stuff done, back to back funerals! as well as being in and out o...

last week i had what could be called a holiday! it was a honeymoon as i got married recently to my partner of over a decade Melanie. i took a eurorack synth with me incase i had a moment to make a song but i ended up not using it at all, you know how it goes! we spent a couple of nights staying at Lomond's air bnb which is in fort william scotland, then another couple of places in the area, but if you are not aware of lomond he has some very interesting machines he has built and it would have...

Hello! here is a download of the mashup of the jams from the rebirth orchestra video. working on a few new projects atm, will let you know in due course! currently looking at a box of eurorack i have a love hate relationship with haha.
also the new song Night or Day which i showed you the other day is now done, i found a few things tuning wise funnily enough having filmed that video which went into the camera mic then listenning back some of the harmonies stuck out weird! 2023-06-14 10:07:14 +0000 UTC View Post
This song will be out in a few weeks. Spent all week recording it and finishing lyrics now trying to get it finished

It's nearly done. What a chunk of wiring it has been though!
2023-05-24 12:31:04 +0000 UTC View Post
so as usual! very optimistic with the amount of time it takes to bash something like this together! its one of those ideas where the idea is nice and simple and in principal its a nice and quick build, but then the reality comes and there are so many components and wires it ends up becoming a whole other kettle of fish.
this is the project so far, the first chunk of this video is a timelapse then the end is talking about what it is and what it does and the ultimate plan and goal w...

Can't wait to see how well this will work. It looks cool if anything! However a lot of wiring between now and then! Haha

time to re learn REBIRTH 338. running through the manual learning all of the hotkeys and stuff and writing down functions that are important for next weeks machine, which will culminate into an even larger machine the following week. join me for about an hour RTFMing (reading the fudging manual) and using an IMAC G3 OS9
