A fellow electronics enthusiast I see. Pretty cool here. I'm not always too keen on these sounds since they tend to sound a bit primitive, however, they certainly add a certain characteristic that stands out. Nice job. What are you using as the main board? Arduino? I checked your profile and see you also use ChuCk. There was a time when all I used was ChuCK (and other apps): this might be interesting to you:

Very old work. But all done in ChuCk with some things being done in post.

Anyway, pretty cool.

Hi siensystem, The board has two components: A dual Boolean Sequencer and a pair of Karplus Strong circuits. The BS generates a binary count and sends it into logic and resistors to make control voltages of long sequences. The KS performs string synthesis, which generates sort of guitar-ish and drum-ish sounds. ChucK is a major tool for me, I've been coding in it for nearly three years now. I modeled the BSKS circuits in ChucK before building them which helped a lot. Thanks for the video link and I'm glad you liked the track. Thanks.

Interesting. Reminds me of some of the old original Moog records I have. Kudos to you again man for making your own synths!

Being compared to Moog is a compliment of the highest order, thanks! You made my day.

Awesome track! It's cool to have another electronics builder on the site! This song sounds pretty cool, I'm curious what chips you used to build this little synth. Nice one! Welcome to Looperman!

Inventor replied Unknown
Hi Spivkurl, the Boolean sequencer is made of LMC555, CD4040, CD4070, CD4073, and TL074 chips. The Karplus strong is made of LMC555, BL3102, BL3209, and TL074 chips. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi Inventor..and welcome to looperman!...interesting sounds,what are you using as a controller? sounds like a rotary device,as opposed to a keyboard with octaves,there's a couple of circuit benders on the Loop,SpivCurl to name one...I've always found electronics interesting but only profess to know a little guitar circuitry and basic amplifier maintenance...behind every inventor lies an inquiring mind and untold projects I'm sure...nice to have you aboard!..cheers planet :)

Inventor replied Unknown
planet, the controller is a Boolean Sequencer, which is a clocked binary counter driving logic into a resistive summing network. I know, technobabble, but that's what it is. I can explain further if you're interested and ty for your comments.

Funny stuff. Not really a song but great loop to fool around with. You can create really funky loops with some drums.
Inventor
Inventor replied Unknown
FDV, I posted a second song that has the same boolean sequence but percussive operation of the Karplus Strong circuits. The two can be mixed together to create a song with two drum and two guitar voices. Hope that helps.

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...

Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.
