If you know Parasit builds, you know. All the crazy cmos driven robot sex sounds you could ever hope for. First is the Sonic Reducer. A bit crusher/ring mod. Easy build, bang for the buck baby! Very bell like tones to be had, but also plenty of dissonance if that’s what you’re aiming for. Throw it into some reverb for the most mood/ Asimovian/sci-fi atmosphere. I missed ordering the modulation daughter board, but kind of glad I did. Instead I (with validation from @benny_profane over on the MBP forums) cooked up a mod to use the Wavelord to drive a home brew vactrol in the Sonic Reducer. Man what a lot of fun (I know, DEMO!). Only regret is using a toggle instead of a footswitch to turn the mod on/off. Here’s the pics:
Nothing says reduction, Sonic or otherwise like the BFG9000.
Next up is the Quantum Defrakulator. A 3 voice drone synth. The first oscillator has a 4 step sequencer for a little movement. Again, super fun little noise machine especially when run through some modulation or delay. I think I could have crammed this into a smaller enclosure, but meh. I need to bust out my little mixer so that I can run this, my abacus, and maybe a little drum sequencer together. Unfortunately, I have a lot of things that can accept CV control but really only 1 that will produce CV (mother 32) so linking everything is a bit of a no go. Here’s the pics:
Even if I implemented CV jacks, there a lot of empty space.
