Recorded at the reception after the Bunnoo convention. I love how they are able to carry on a lively discussion without becoming strident. Bunnoos enjoy debating even such contentious issues … Read More
I tried to imitate the internal configuration of the Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus pentagonal oscillators (Quantussy). It uses four VCOs and four sample and holds, patched for cross-modulation. A more faithful imitation … Read More
I’ve been working on a self-running patch that routes two of the cocoquantus oscillators (the five inseparably cross-modulating VCOs are called the Quantussy) through the modular for processing. In this … Read More
On the occasion of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee, BCC America reports. A Cocoquantus seems to have intervened. Recorded in a mini-studio, consisting of a Tivoli Audio PAL radio and the … Read More
This was made with the Modular Tetrazzi amplitude-modulating itself and going through a pair of MOTM-490 filters being swept by LFOs. Tetrazzi is controlled by the Wogglebug.
Uses the Modular Tetrazzi as a linear FM modulation source for the Zeroscillator in “no bias” mode. A thick drone arrives from the Synthesis Technology e340 Cloud Generator and later … Read More
Example use of the Modular Tetrazzi as a sound generator, driven by other modules. In this patch a simple pattern generator drives four MOTM-800 envelope generators, each of which is … Read More
Reading about Pierre Schaeffer, founder of musique concrete, and his ideas of acousmatics and the sonorous object. a) The sonorous object is not the instrument that was played. b) The … Read More
The primary chance parameters are pitch, tempo, loudness and duration. Modules include VCOs, VCAs, VC EGs, VC LFOs, a VC clock divider, sample and holds, and a frequency shifter. No … Read More
