very nice.
the small keyboard seems really well made.

                  Hello,



I would like to share pictures of my performance system.

I'm more of a keyboardist than a sound sculpter or sequencer guy, so

my gear reflects that.  The Ondes Martenot (i.e. Analogy Systems

French Connection) was the whole reason I got into this stuff.



Two things I'm proud of:



1)  The small auxillary keyboard I built myself.  It uses the A-100CGK

parts with a 2 octave keybed.  The panel I had made by Front Panel

Express after careful measurements.  There are two simple homemade

circuits on it as well-- the "RCF" passive slew setup, and the "ATT"

attenuator.  I need that RCF because I only have room for one envelope

on my small rack.  The housing is poplar wood, painstakingly measured,

cut, sanded, drilled, glued, screwed, stained, and finished.



2)  The selection of modules I picked which fit exactly in 84HP.  I've got:

-two RS95's for high-quality two-voice synthesis

-A132-3 dual VCA, very good space-saver

-A140 ADSR

-RS100 low pass filter, very nice sound

-A compact 4-step sequencer made out of an ASys sequential switch and

Doefper CV source

-ASol LFO/noise

-A121 multimode filter



The sequential swtich is nice in that you can put fixed CVs into some

channels, and put the small keyboard CV into another and the joystick

into another.  This allows some nice quick changes in the arpeggio.  I

also use it to swtich the VCA control quickly between envelope and

expression button on the French Connection.



I like the LFO-NZ because it is so small and gives me a timer for

sequences and also the white noise, which I like to send through the

bandpass filter.  With the French Connection controlling the frequency

and the joystick controlling the resonance level, I can make an eerie

"whistling" type of sound.  Another cool thing is to have the

resonance controlled by the envelope, so that you get notes that fade

into noise with the decay/release.



Cheers,

Monroe
