That thing looks like it would be great fun for up to 30-60 minutes before I figure out that I'm never going to be good enough to make anything interesting on it.

For real, the most fun I've had over the past year has been with a drum machine made with eurorack modules. Grids is the number one value module for me. The Erica synths drum mixer is surprisingly great too (aux send, and onboard compressor ftw)

If I had one of these and liked it as much as I'd hope to, I could see getting rid of my Hydrasynth 49. I love it but it's huge and I'm a bad pianist so I could do fine with a used desktop model at 1/2 the price or less. The main thing I like about it is thick drone patches or just floating on pads, so solar42 covers a lot of what I use it for even if it's a totally different animal. In the meantime I guess I can go make hydrasynth drone loops and patch them into LZX. that sounds like a fun hour before I have to go do family stuff....

Dang, the make noise strega is great for noisy, metallic, haunting sounds. You can do all the nasty sound tricks on it: FM, RM, feedback to the point it has several normalled internal feedback paths, touch points to patch feedback with your body, and patch points for cables. You can drive everything at audio rates. In this patch, I had a couple other oscillators mixed together, one of them following in sync mode, all tuned to unison with the strega. I took the triangle out of the strega, put it through a folder, and vca with a snappy envelope to FM the sync'd oscillator, and fed the external oscillators through a mixer and filter/vca combo with a longer envelope into the audio input of the strega, and a copy to the vca of the strega to ring modulate. https://voca.ro/174hytHsuM8k

I'm not but this will just turn into LZX stuff I didn't buy or bought a lot later  goin' for the LZX shared system at this point more or less  I just built the last-ever Boing! kit and now I have 12u of Boing! so that each channel of R,G,B video-as-audio has its own pingable LPG.  (sound on) -- the vertical dark bars are a result of filming a CRT with a phone cam, this is why I usually use OBS + BlackMagic 4k. https://i.imgur.com/mGRPey8.mp4

Have a Strega arriving something today, wanted one for a long time and Juno in the UK seems to be selling off their stock for about 20% cheaper than elsewhere. Was just checking the price of the Strega and Juno has the 0-coast for £380 which is £80-100 cheaper than other online UK stores. £365 after asking for a better price in chat.

The 0ctrl is great, and the 0coast looks neat, but it doesn't seem to me that it really does anything that I can't do with other gear I already have. The strega has a pretty unique design, as far as I can tell. It very much embraces the ethos of "make noise" I had a moment of excitement, followed quickly by disappointment when I learned Cortini was coming to play live nearby, then learned the tickets were long since sold out. Fffffffffff. Then, I recently saw sonic state do a little interview with him, and the sets were all improvised on a pair of 0ctrls and a pair of stregas. That would have been one hell of a performance to catch. Silver lining is that the sets were all recorded to be released later. Oops ramble.

Alright I'm enjoying this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njEoj8yLfl0 This is all LZX, all the audio. I hosed with DWO3's different modes to see which did and did not have audible frequency tracking, then sequenced it with Rene2 and enveloped it with quadrax. Zero other cleanup on the audio, it's just the straight sine output from DWO3, and the background drone is the entire unfiltered unprocessed video stream (R,G,B mixed into a single channel on a second quadVCA). The sine sounds sine-y in this mode, the sawtooth sounds downright nasty, I think there's a lot of potential here and also I used that oscillator to drive every piece of modulation happening inside of LZX. Doing things this way you don't have to find ways to make your video responsive, you have to find sweet spots of video VCO output that are listenable and then try to do useful visual things with the output. Fuckin' weird poo poo man e: also ZeroScope is pretty good, it obviously doesn't track frequency on every video mode correctly but it goes way outside audible ranges.

JamesKPolk posted:Thats frickin crunchy, I love it here's all 4 waveforms, if you want crunchy I think #3 and #4 here (chainsaw and square) will be even more up your alley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE8Zzu-d4FM it's an interesting concept to just use these to poop out audio. It imposes a lot of limitations on pitch ranges and on how the video is being rendered. Complex feedback loops seem very possible which should lead to very weird sorts of unpredictable feedback loops that might be bent towards generative purposes.

Can you use video oscillators through a mess of dividers, like a TOG?

Do video oscillators run at the frequency of the light produced? I, knowing nothing of the art, might have assumed it all ran at a fixed 60Hz? Seems confusing, expIensive, and ooooooh pretty. I discovered that I could doot with Plateau as the sound source. It's tunable, and can respond to pitch CV! LPGs and messy delays added after for taming/scrambling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFR0UozMSCo I'm very pleased with my sound design for the kick and "snare" on this one. They came out quite nice.

I, knowing nothing of the art, might have assumed it all ran at a fixed 60Hz? It's a lot more complicated than I thought, you have multiple frequency bands with meaningful data in the 20hz-10mhz range. Actual visible light is apparently "400–790 terahertz", so we're not getting close to that -- also, R G & B streams are totally interchangeable, and if you plug a composite signal into an R G or B input and then try to decode it you will get a grayscale version of the composite image. So, we have a bunch of different data in audible and inaudible ranges. Horizontal bars seem to have a substantial audible pitch range, in addition to all the inaudible poo poo they pump out. This stuff is measured in IRE which is a multiplier to mV to reflect that all video is in the 0-1v range, I think.  quote:The numbers in the formula for the ATSC symbol rate in 6 MHz systems are related to Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Mar 12, 2024 |

They have only existed since 2009 and I'd describe their overall product lineup as between "definitely not for me" (big rear end music workstations) and "okay, sure, but, weird and also why?" (their 303 clone). Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Mar 14, 2024 |

Donner is the preferred brand of shenzhen pedal cloners, they (like musictribe etc) do excellent cheap and mini versions of classic analog stuff but the rule of thumb w/ those was always the stuff that isn't copyrightable (circuit design, etc) will be virtually identical to the real thing, but anything with software is gonna be a shitshow

The kickstarter is nothing but a list of things not to do. Claim xmas delivery when that was never going to happen, send items out for unboxing 6 months ago, promise updates every 10 days but only actually do that once, tell people they need to go to NAMM or contact support for updates and the biggest own-goal is telling people they can have a refund but still get the device at the early bird price on launch then refuse the refunds. I picked up a B1 as an xmas present for a friend who has recently retired and was wanting to get back into music (also gave them a keystep, nts-1 and an audio interface). In the UK it seems to be £100 but have a permanent 20% voucher if you buy from Amazon or direct. Other retailers charge more even for b-stock, so likely some dodgy stuff going on there.

Then I tiptoed through this thread and saw the goon who bought the Polar 92... that thing turned me on in ways I haven't felt for gear in a while. Unfortunately my work doesn't carry them so I can't get a discount on one, but I am absolutely drooling over it right now.
