vacuum tube synthesizer - based around circuits by eric barbour and ken stone
two tube vcos w/ pitch, volume/shape pots (w/ on/off switch), range switches, hard sync switch and mod skew
tube noise source w/ volume/pitch knob and on/off
tube vcf w/ cut off , q and modulation depth - a silicon based ASM-1 LFO's triangle modulates the cut off via vactrol
tube vca w/ modulation depth and volume pots - a silicon based ADSR (synths r us) is dedicated modulator
cv in, gate in - audio out 1/4"
ASTRA - monophonic synthesizer - keyboard is from gutted lowrey genie organ
two VCOs based around 3080, digital noise source, passive ring modulator w/ 386 amp, cem 3328 low pass vcf
w/ cv cutoff and q, 3080 VCA, synths r us ADSR, two ASM-1 Lfos. there is a modulation matrix made up of
many 12 position rotary switches. one for VCO 1, VCO 2, VCF Cut off, VCF Q and VCA. the choices are
vco1/vco2/1voct keyboard/gate/trigger/noise/lfo1/lfo2/adsr/yada yada

>Laquarto
a labor of love - my main modular 'Laquarto' - case built by my uncle bill white - i recently rebuilt this unit - took some modules out and put some new ones it - so this is LAQUARTO 2.0

thomas henry adv-midi - midi to trigger converter behind custom panel - kenton pro2000 with jacks on front,
paia fatman with megamods, Sweet Petey monosynth (4069 vco, digital noise, cem 3374 VCF/VCA, ian fritz ad/ar, asm-1 lfo)
and the paia vocoder
this is a sequencer following the 4017 baby 10 sequencer - it has a 555 clock with range settings
and extnerl clock in - it has a rotary switch to select how many bars it goes - word up - yeah uses draw bars
here is a keyboard i made out of my friend chris cone's dead juno 120
the main osc is a unijunction transistor forced upon the keyboard layout. it has a sine thing and a pulse thing out
it goes into a passive ring modulator where a second VCO made from a dual transistor multivibrator modulates it
this second vco can be free running or modulated by the keyboard -the output of the ring modulator is put through
TWO stages of TUBE AMPS via two 2bn4 tubes.

added an efm 'midiport' to my suitcase modular - now has full midi
just what it says it is - thanks again eric - heres some really bad mp3s
tr-606 showing off the 'stereo out' - bauhaus' shes in parties through the hellfire
once again inspired by design of eric barbour - doorbell as keys - VCO from Neon Lamp - LFO from Neon Lamp - modulate each other through pentode - followed by a clipper tube
here is a jam - here is the sound of just a single Neon Lamp in monostable vibrator mode
similiar to the door bell synth above this is a full on FIRE SYNTH - VCO from Neon Lamp, LFO from Neon Lamp, Suboctive Divider from Neon Lamps(2), VCO/LFO modulate through pentode, then output to a Beam Modulator
various routing switches - ghetto control strip from 100k resistor chain n wire - need to buy some nichrome soon
thanks eric - heres a not so good mp3 - more soon
The EYE
12AX7 Tube Preamp, Tube Clipper Circuit, Beam Modulator Circuit
One big MAGIC EYE Tube - TOTAL HELL SOUND! want proof?
here
built into a handy lunch box w/ bonus CGS Balanced Modulator (via rotary switches), CGS Psycho LFO
heres some mp3s one - two! - three!? - four!!! - five... - six? seven... ahhhh
Ray Wilson's WP20
built this lil noisey beast into a handheld case - has its own preamp/speaker and cv/gate mods
heres an mp3 w/ it, the sedona, mc202 and a 606 - its doing the bad nintendo sounding thing
heres just the wp20 on its own
features Kenton Socket mods - External CV, GATE inputs - VCF CV input and Portamento CV in
I also built a S&H and a noise source for this unit - its super tight in there - but i managed to fit it all in
heres some roland core 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 (also features sedona/606/soundlab/etc)
can you believe it? working on the synth 100
