TUBE SYNTH
SEQUENCER(Milton/Superseq)
1st modular synth
DJ Wobblyman's HEAD
pinky has mostly CGS boards - gate sequencer, with preset and cv add-ons, analog shift register, digital wavetable with numitron display, Harry's morph lag, digital noise, 2 vcas, steiner vcf, 2 bandpass filters, passive ring modulator, envelope generator, joystick-nipple, super psycho lfo, psycho lfo and dc mixer. cheers Ken! Also Paia dual VCOs and modulator.
Paia tube pre-amp and two CGS tube VCAs
update 12/2005 picture is from a CGS super psycho lfo. ive had a few requests for sounds, inspired by 'the Residents' commercial album, i aimed for 1 minute tracks. fun with a CGS wavetable 1 - this is not a test 2 - this is a test
more joyous tunes genki?
tube synth - 2 VCOs, 2 filters, VCA, neon LFOs . This is a bass drum into a CGS sub-oscillator rubbery skies
The insides of the frequency shifter panel. This track is a drum processed by a CGS simple wavefolder, plus a Farm VCO plugged into a CGS wave multiplier bathing with you
another view of the freq shifter. A SN76477 driven by a cloned Buchla 258 VCO provides the happy melodies of this number hmm tangy
if you want to say hi - please write to pinkysynth [at] hotmail [dot] com .
CGS gate sequencer with preset board (on the left thigh) and CV mod
Korg MS20 been in storage for 20 years. the original owner had wanted a moog, so he covered the 'korg' logo with 'moog' one. i haven't the heart to take it off...and its amazing how many people look at it and say "oooh you've got a moog, ive never seen one before" anyway the MS20 is an excellent synth, i'm pretty keen on old korgs (tho i wouldn't mind an old moog or 2).
vcf heaven! 2 steiners, ms20 clone, vc state variable filter - all from Motohiko Takeda's homepage, including his very compact pcb layouts. along the bottom is a CGS psycho lfo
VCO panel - 2 EFM VCO4s, Takeda San's VCO3, Buchla 258 clone (!!!) it took me 3 tries to etch a pcb for this but it was worth it, i usually use this Vco to drive my CGS Wavetable
CGS sequential switch, dc mixer, vc divider
CGS vco, CGS V8 simulator, 2 Farm vcoIII's (aka Takeda)
sweet music?
the leds in the eyes are driven by the envelope generator, so can pulse, fade and strobe quite nicely. in the dark, the entire head glows blue.
Thanks to Ken Stone, Ray Wilson and John Blacet for sharing such excellent designs.
dawn - post drilling frenzy
Paia Fatman
some mods - diodes, sync, 4 LFO's. this was my first electronics project. if you are a total novice, imho Paia Fatman is a good launchpad.
the chickolin - output socket, touch switch for feedback, chicken controls pitch.
Japanese Hiragana teacher - just type in any sequence and hit play. great mickey voice
