casper modular synth+circuit bent barbies+sequencers

for more info visit:
http://www.casperelectronics.com/.
All sounds are generated by the modular synth (right) and two heavily modified barbie karaoke machines which have been mounted into a single housing (top left).

The synth is feeding through and being processed by one of the barbies. The second barbie is generating it's own sounds. Both barbies are being controlled by the step sequencer (bottom left). Watch the lights on the step sequencer to see how it corresponds with the sound.
The synth is being controlled by the Pulse divider (bottom center) and melody sequencer (top right).

All three sequencers are sync'd together using a common clock signal.

got a question for ya, on the patch bay of your double barbie, is that inline with the bend points? i've got 2 type a's that i'm just getting out of the housings! thanks a ton!

[bubagoo]

Yes! the patch points are all inline with the bend points. I use the relay sequencer to rhythmically patch points together.

[gnarlsbukowski]

how are the synth brass sounds?

[bubagoo]

hmmm..probably not very good

[AnalogAudio1]

cool, but can you also play melodies with it - leadsounds?

[bubagoo]

If I connect a keyboard onto it I could easily play leads. Right now I'm more interested in making sequences and knob twiddling, but I'm sure I'll incorporate a keyboard some day.

[RobotTickleFight]

is there anything casper electronics can't do

[bostich1]

nice!

カッコイイ！、コレはシビれる！。AUTECHREとセットでじ­っくり聴きたいサウンドです。

@bubagoo @bubagoo hey thanks, didnt see this, 1 of mine i just hooked up a line out to get sounds off it, i broke the board in a space on the 2nd, im sure i could solder a jumper wire

not everything gotta be pretty music... ABABCBBB to fade not everyone wants that - people like this too...

[electro257]

@bubagoo wasnt i cnsidered s the downfall of synths when the mass produced them with a keyboard?... cant remeber the composer who first said.. maybe slavlovski... no no some one did honest..

[electro257]

@gnarlsbukowski that is one funny uestion and answer... lmfao MoFO.. brass sounds you gotta be kiddin.. love the rsponse oo...

[maineimisbeto]

really cool, congrats!

[vomiol]

i'm pretty sure he's using a+/-12V PSU for all the modules in that synth.

[ElektroPunc]

Cool lab you got there, man!!!!

[teamhowdy]

hey for the soundlab part of your modular synth do you have it running off 9v batteries or do you have some sort of other power supply and what Is the voltage of the power supply?
