Recording of a handheld hacksaw sawing at a piece of ply wood. Recorded inside a workshop using a zoom h6 recorder. Hard loud audio.

Same patch as in electronic minute no 226 but on my real modular. I'm using a wave folder. Thats why i call this version additive. I'm adding timbre to a sinus wave. I will do an subtractive version next.

Same patch as in electronic minute no 226 and 227 but on my real modular. I'm using a filter. Thats why i call this version subtractive. I'm subtracting harmonics from a square wave. Why are 226 blue? probably because i did it at work. . . Listening in bad earbuds. Makes you rise the bass. Lets see if i can make this wave ble at the end! i will slowly fade out the vco with high pitch. At the very end i'm switching the synth off.

Modular synth composition.

Playing with my modular.

Tube spring reverb unit compressed on the tape.

Recorded with tascam dr-07.

Now i have downsized my shift register. 2-steps.

Pulse responses from great british spring reverb processed with equalizers, tube preamps and compressed with analog tape.

As i was playing with creating sequences with help of square waves i happen to make this beat. Annoying. . . Made with a small modular synth with love :-).

Nlc timbre! happiness! it works! i assembled this module a year ago. Never worked. Put it in a drawer. Now it works. Rent my drawer. . . 98,7% true!.

These samples come from a gakken sx-150, a small analogue synthesizer kit that was released in japan 2008 as part of the gakken hobby magazine series. The synth became very popular also outside of japan, mainly because it's a low-cost analogue synth with a great sound that offers lots of possibilities for circuit benders.

A near chaotic experiment. Im mixing cycling envelopes and lfos to generate triggers. The four sounds are totally unrelated. > bass drum. > snare (or something. . . )> bass. The pitches for the bass are generated withthree mixed lfos. A trigger is generated from the quantizerwhen the cv changed enough to generate a new note inthe selected scale. > ear piercing and annoying sound. Three minutes of more than enough.

Synth squelch with additive fx.

This was recorded at a home and hardware chain store. Along with the general ambiance, a recorded announcement comes over the speaker, requesting that a qualified employee is needed in the "board-cutting area".

Arturia minibrute + korg m3 drumskey of cm110 bpm.

Some clips of my diy analog synth on the build.

A hq supersaw lead, sampled from the roland jd-xi. Ideal for playing with a sampler like an virtual instrument. Have fun.

Fat square wave sub bass made with z3ta+ and a korg ea-1 mixed through a behringer mixer, recorded with an mpc. 44. 1k 16-bit.

Yep, i'm reading allen stranges "electronic music: system, techniques and controls". Interesting from start. This is a patch made with lessons from chapter 4.

Yep, i'm reading alen stranges "electronic music: system, techniques and controls". Interesting from start. This is a patch made with lessons from chapter 4. Changed pitch on one osc and added some drums. Some editing in audacity compressor and limiter.

An old hard drive starting up. The idle sound is from the hard drive itself and not the computer's fan noise. Some minor editing has been done to remove a slight bass rumble from the computer's fan. Recorded on sony pcm-a10.

Starting a computer, sounds of the hdd and fans as the computer boots windows.

Not gonna explain about this one much. Basicly i just made a simple patch on my virus c hardware synth which consists of 2 osc's (sine / saw), osc2 slightly detuned from the osc1. Fast pitch envelope on both osc's to get the "punch" part in the kick. Ran through virus's lowpass/bandpass filters, lowpass cutting from 100% to 0% with a speed of 1/4 beats to get a "filtering down" effect to the kick, bandpass rejecting slightly frequencies from a range of 400-600hz. Then i sampled it, many times and picked the best sample. Eq->distort->eq->distort million times and this is the result. Ofc i did some cutting and added some lowpass/bandpass filters with various mix levels @ some points and did some other shit also but basicly it's just eq & distort. Hf, its a decent kick but needs some fixing still since the punch is too separate from the bass.

My laptop disk slot opening and closing while making a high pitch beeping noise, recorded and processed in audacity.

A self modulated a-110. A self modulated bermuda through filter with some res. Barton analog drum, spring reverb and analog delay stompbox. Sxxxe (you know what) sound is imperfect wave forms, or. . . ?.

Recording of me manipulating an ar15/m4 style rifle. No gunshots were fired or recorded.

Desktop computer making wind. .

I want you to compare this sound with:"electronic minute no 18 - vcv rack sqr sequencing"https://freesound. Org/people/gis_sweden/sounds/413520/in this sound, no 19, i use my modular synth. The sound is not as clean as in the virtual one. To some extent i blame my method of recording. . . Different oscillators sound different. Here i use a self oscillating filter. That produces a clean sinus wave. The cleanest sinus in my rack. But i guess the real thing is not perfect and that is what you are hearing? in neither of the patches i use a quantizer. . . (that's art :-)and, i almost forgot, i use a cheap analog delay pedal. Noisy. . .

Friday. Random. Why this madness? answer: i have patched s/h (sample and hold) random to doepfer a-160 clock divider and that affects the a-161. For the sake of it i patched one of the gates to the ladik r-110 rnd t/g (random trigger and gate). Result much more randomness than i can use. I can tell you that there is a lot of blinking diodes :-) sounds from doepfer a-110 and 2hp osc and sampler soundmachines ul1uloop.

Live recorded loop created using:moog mother 32korg minilogue xd. 96bpm. Doctor dreamchipportland, orfebruary 2020.

Recording of a busy working epson v600 scanning a few 35mm film negatives. Lot's of adjusting sounds and transportation of the scanhead as the operation continues.
