Synthtopia regular MirlitronOne created what could be the low-budget music hack of the year – turning a $6 LED kit into a 8-stage step sequencer.

He started with a Vellemen MK107 LED kit – which are available all over the place for less than a fast food lunch, making the kit a great risk-free starting point for music hacking.

In this video, MirlitronOne shows you how he did it and how this DIY music sequencer works. Read more…

Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Project) gives a quick demonstration of using the Moog Minimoog Voyager’s Touch Surface CV outputs to simultaneously control two Moogerfoogers.

He does this using the Touch Surface CV outputs on the VX-351 Output Expander.

The X-axis CV is sent to a Mult, where it outputs two identical copies of the CV. One copy is sent through an inverting attenuator on a CP-251 Control Processor. Both CV are sent to the Mix inputs of the Moogerfoogers.

Since one of the CV’s is inverted, positive Touch Surface “X” values increase the mix of one. Negative “X” values increase the mix on the other.

If you’re into theremins, you probably already know that the new Moog Etherwave Plus theremin has control voltage outputs, so it can be used to control analog synths.

This is a demonstration of the Etherwave Plus controlling the MiniMoog Voyager Analog Synthesizer.
