Been playing around today with this 2012ish Gieskes HSS3j. I built it at one of his workshops back then, primarily for it’s video generation. Some years ago the voldtage regulator burned, but now it’s finally up and running again.
I really like it for its gritty digital drones, and quirky small melodies.

Teamed it up with 2 other very different but very digital boxes.

rock n roll show with synth interludes (synth-terludes?)

Negative space filled.

This is a mighty step forward towards the one-person chamber orchestra.

Soon to arrive, Expert Sleepers ES-3. Thinking it’ll be the most significant link between Logic and the physical.

Orca Raspberry Pi x Polivoks

[dianus]

Would love to know more about this!

[neauoire]

Orca is a sequencer programming language running on a Raspberry Pi, sending midi to a Polivoks analog synth. I cannot get my hands on a Norns(see Orca Norns) at the moment, so I decided to make myself a more easily accessible device.

It’s a lot of fun, if you have an old Pi and TFT screen lying around. Let me know if you need a hand!

What kind of enclosure is this?

[eesn]

i too was intrigued. found this.

[neauoire]

The case and screen are the U-Geek 2.2 TFT.

this is my 8th time building a looper

Doing a little studio inventory and cleanup. I’ve really cut down on my gear weight. All this now fits in a hanging shoe caddy and under-desk set of drawers, except the amp, which goes on a closet shelf. Not pictured are my guitars.

Not quite a photo, but I scored this Yamaha PS1 for $10 last night and I immediately plugged it into the rack.

I’m now realizing how much time I wasted not plugging toy keyboards into my fancy synthesizer.

here a recording from this morning playing this.

Little Boy Blue is amazing, though I’m still trying to get beyond pissed-off Donald Duck noises. The Flower Electronics website was likely my first exposure to modular synths like seven less financially stable years ago, so I’m really glad that I could afford one of Jessica Rylan’s instruments.

The Boss RRV-10 Reverb is certainly a reverb.

Norns is Norns.

This was the setup I used last Saturday at the Connessioni festival in Milan. In theory I thought I’d use Stages as modulation, but the night before I accidentally ripped the microUSB connector of my faderbank 16n so I used Stages as a mini faderbank (blinking yellow mode) and did modulations by hand. The core of the performance were the two 3 sisters I had at the bottom right.

Here is a little excerpt of the performance: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8KyfBBG8V/

[instantjuggler]

what were you running on the norns?

[AlessandroBonino]

Less concepts controlling the three sisters via cvpal. I love Less Concepts, @dan_derks! (Have I said that already? Yes I did, but I really mean it)
