Home made synth

arcticbeard

Hi all, I havent posted in ages as I have been working on new material - old material & equipment mods / circuit bending,

Check out my latest creation, I am quite new to the circuit bending lark, I finished this device on Friday. Your comments would be appreciated.

I have only pictured the breakout box which is a plastic soap dish bought from Boots for about £ 1.00. I havent finished on this little mother yet.

I cant believe it took me about half an hour to get that - LOL

First I thought hmmm maybe it does sound a bit clean, - then I thought maybe it was sarcacstic, then I went away read some other threads came back & Kapooowww got it.

Nice one

A good insight into the thought processes (or lack of) of Arcticbeard.

I still need to work on this one, Im hoping to add another device to make two independantly controllable channels.

Hi here is a Multitracked improvised piece using the aforementioned synth & a handful of Effects

Parts of this performance sound like sumone strimming some seagulls & geese - Do Not be Alarmed.

Wow, this is great stuff. It reminds me of the "old days" and fun I had with building these little boxes and creating all these wild noises. (Where did I lost that? Embarassed

)
Anyway, I like this very much.

Very cool sounds! Would you be able to share a schematic?

HI

This is another Tune I recorded today 18-07-07 with the Arctic Synth - I wanted to make a track with loops of pulses that fluctuated in out of sync, then I thought it would be interesting & a slight contrast to record an African Drum along side. Here it is
