Richard Brewster's Electronic Sounds

Playing around with the Serge system, plus the dual Benjolin. Slightly Nasty Oscillator and Filter are in white panels. The rest are blue.

This patch started out complex. Over time I simplified it. Five oscillators with through-zero modulation capability were mixed together, some going mostly to the right stereo image and some to … Read More

This is a listening comparison of the Through-Zero Linear Frequency Modulation sounds made by four different TZ capable oscillators. Through Zero Linear FM Initial Offset Through zero linear FM entails … Read More

I bought a Patching Panda Operat oscillator full kit from Modular Addict. It is based on the SSI2130 integrated circuit, the same as used in the LA 67 T-ZED oscillator … Read More

This patch does two different types of modulation, Through-Zero FM and Through-Zero PM (Phase Modulation). Modules used: The T-ZED does Phase Modulation, with control over the depth. The TZ0 does … Read More

I’d been looking for oscillators with a few specific requirements. 1) Analog, 2) Phase Modulation, and 3) DIY. The LA 67 T-ZED Oscillator meets all these and was on sale … Read More

One of my cherished Happy Nerding 3X-MIA modules stopped working. It wasn’t even patched at the time, but I noticed the LEDs weren’t responding to the knobs. I removed it … Read More

Six years after I built the first one, I decided to build a second Dannysound EN129 Thru-Zero Oscillator. The design originated in the Electronotes newsletter #129, published by Bernie Hutchins … Read More

I decided to make an automatically playing patch for myself to listen to while having a ketamine medicine journey. I’d already had several such sessions, listening to recommended playlists. The … Read More

I was exploring combinations of effects today. Ended up with this patch that starts with various plucked or bowed sounds from Mutable Instruments Braids (showing PLUK on the screen). Took … Read More
