Mani Coolin' - "Grew Up" (Prod. Jay Kurzweil)

Demos of a reclocked ART multiverb LT effects processor from the 80's. The new knob controls the clock speed of the system and therefore the delay and reverb times, plus the sample rate.

ART Multiverb LT Demo 1

Demos from a circuit bent ZOOM 1201 effects unit. Mods include a 14 way RAM decimation switching matrix, a system reclocking knob, and a power switch!

Circuit Bent ZOOM 1201 Self Generated Flanger Noise & Vocoder

Circuit Bent ZOOM 1201 Decimating Christina Aguilera & Disney

Demo of reverb effects from a reclocked Zoom 1202. As the clock speed of the system is slowed down the reverbs become more and more granular, until early reflections turn into creaking washes of noise and tails decay into a huge sea of sound.

Demos from a modified Danelectro Dan-echo delay pedal. Mods include a hold footswitch to grab an loop whatever is in memory, a feedback boost switch, a 100% delay switch, and a reclocking knob plus switch that controls the clock speed of the digital delay circuitry.

Demos from a heavily modified Mattel Synsonic drum machine. These demos have not been edited or effected externally. All of the compression comes from the machine itself!

Demos of a circuit bent Digitech RDS1200 delay rack. 
Mods include a 10 way RAM glitching switch matrix, a new delay range switch giving a maximum 15 seconds of grungy delay, and a 'RAM clear' switch that stops the delay RAM being emptied whenever you change delay modes. 


Digitech RDS1900 Delia Demo

Demos from a circuit bent Kawai K1 synth. Mods include a 24 way ROM destruction patchbay, and a LTC1799 based clock speed/pitch knob.
Surprisingly the modded K1 is incredibly good at BBC Radiophonic Workshop style sci-fi atmospheres. The kind of drones and "sounds of the future" you'd hear in the background on Forbidden Planet or an ancient episode of Dr Who.

The Loop Loft Hip Hop Drums - Crunchy

I found an old box of cassettes with a couple of gems in it. One actually has my final project from an electronic music composition class I took in 1979. I was poking my nose into dusty corners in the basement of the music building at the University of Arizona, and found a rack of wire wrapped circuit boards with a terminal, a couple of 8" floppy drives, and an 88 key keyboard attached! I started asking around, and learned that it was one of the 5 prototypes of the Micor Coupland digital synthesizer. It had been left by a professor who had retired, and no one knew anything about it. So being me, I asked if I could play around with it. They made me take the 400 level class (as a sophomore) to get access to it, and I happily obliged, and got a couple of friends to help me haul it out of the basement and set it up in the 8-track studio. Now keep in mind that in 1979 no one had even considered a digital synthesizer, and you could count the polyphonic synths in the WORLD on one hand. Here was a FULLY (88-note) polyphonic DIGITAL synth! So I set about putting it all back together, started sticking floppies in until I found one that actually booted up, and I was off and running.
It was based on the TI-9900 microprocessor. Sounds were created by entering an equation that gave voltage as a function of time. It had 2 oscillators, the main oscillator and a modulation oscillator, and an ADSR that controlled the amplitude. The keyboard was the only "performance" control - all other real-time changes to the sound had to be commanded on the terminal. I learned to type with one hand while playing with the other.
Anyway, this is what came out of a fun-filled semester playing with this beast. I am putting it up here strictly for its historical significance; to showcase what this synth could have become if Micor hadn't pulled the funding.
There is a little bit of info on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupland_Digital_Music_Synthesizer - but the story I heard (from a girl I was dating, who's father was a friend of Rick Coupland) was that Rick was so mad when Micor pulled the funding that he destroyed all of the documentation, and wouldn't even talk about the project to anyone after that. This MAY be the only surviving recording of this magnificent instrument.
