Isolations

My first Isolation Session series has come full circle. Here they are in a playlist:

Fields

Here is a new Benge album. See the bumf for all the details. Its all Moog!!!



Below is a picture of me and some Moogs, and below that a diagram of my Moog system with labels, just because theres not one online like that anywhere as far as I could find..

Drifterly

All Buchla 200. And self-playing

Patch Notes:
The 259 VCO goes into a Low Pass Gate, which is being controlled by an envelope created on ch2 of the MARF. Ch1 of the MARF controls the pitch and clocks everything. The signal then goes into the 296 Spectral Processor and has separate frequency bands turned on an off by the 281 Function Generator. The 281 is being triggered by various steps of the MARF, providing 4 slow LFOs. There is also a mixer into which the 277 Delay Unit is fed. A few other things are being modulated on the 259 such as the timbre and symmetry

Dodecacid

More messing on the Buchla 200 (and 100, and a Roland DR55 with modified trigger inputs)

Modules used: Dodeca, Marf, 277 Delay, 261e VCO, 257 CV Processor 123 Sequencer, 106 Mixer, 110 Gate, 130 Attack Generator, 194 BPF

Mod Can Dance

Messing with the Modcan, along with the Serge. First I patched a wave shaped VCO on the Serge Paperface, using the Serge sequencer too. Then it goes over to the Modcan where the clock from the Serge triggers bass drum, snare and percussion sounds. Dance!

Topological Landscapes

Here is a new Benge album. It's another in the FORMS series, this one being made entirely on a Modcan-A modular system. Hope you like it!

ARTWORK:

R.I.P A.R.P

Modpan

Music recorded using a Modcan-A modular system, including four oscillator voices, two delay units, two sample playback modules and and integrated spring reverb unit

Visuals created with two analog video cameras, an oscilloscope, a TV screen, three VHS players and a Panasonic WJ-MX50A video processor

Serger

A sine wave is sent to the Serge N-COM module, which produces a sequence of ‘staircased’ notes

The Programmer/Sequencer is being used to change the fundamental pitch of the sine wave

The rest of the patch is decorative (Serge delay and reverb modules and VCAs)

Juper

A little ditty on some mid-80s Roland gear: Jupiter 6, MSQ700 Midi Sequencer, TR505 drum machine and the SDE1000

Benge Fugue

Here is a little piece I put together using the ARP2500 and a midi file. It is based on a Bach fugue, but I heavily manipulated the notes in my midi note editor so that it has the essence of the original but none of the actual melodies. I then sent the midi data to the ARP2500 via the Modcan MIDICV converter. The reverb is the EMT plate 140

Arper

Synthy 2000

Jupiter Falls

A little sketch on the Roland Jupiter Six. Through the immense Roland R880 Digital Mainframe Reverberation System

Monop

Just had the Korg Monopoly fixed up - its sounding SWEET. I love the way the arpeggiator works in polyphonic mode - you can mess with the waveforms and octaves of each of the 4 notes as it goes along, which gets some unique results, sort of half way between an arpeggiator and sequencer in a weird way. The Buchla is doing the percussions, using filtered noise through the 194 bandpass filter and a mixer to change the sound in real time

Bind

Being John Carpenter #3

Time for another instalment...



Synths and FX used: Moog Modular 3C, Sequential Circuits T8, Oberheim 4 Voice, ARP Odyssey, Linn LM1, MCI 416B, Lexicon 224, Bel BD80, EMT Plate 140, Mu-Tron Phaser II

Mod Can Do

I have finally put together my dream Modcan A system. Yes We Modcan!
