Analog Synth Noodle with Klee Sequencer

This is my home made Analog Modular Synth playing on its own in real time.
No Midi, Keyboard, knob twisting, overdubs or computer. I built every module with designs or PC Boards from MFOS, CGS, Electro-Music.com and wherever else I could scrounge schematics.
I just finished building the Electro-Music Klee sequencer (The black faced panel on the desk a few minutes into the vid) - This is its first recording. Please don't consider this a good demo of the Klee capabilities - it's operating here as a 'normal' sequencer.

how much did the mfos modules cost you? and what ones did you build?

[bchris1776]

@Tacos117 I've built most MFOS modules that he has offered as PCB's - many of them several times. I have 29 from MFOS PCB's in the system. Cost is tough to say for sure. I buy parts in quantity to get the price breaks and I'd guess my cost per module is between $50 and $75 total for most modules. If you buy parts one or two at a time you can easily triple that cost.

How do link so many VCOs without voltage drop? Is there some sort of bus booster in each modular unit?

[bchris1776]

@anbreatnach It's really not an issue in this patch. I'm running a number of different voltage sources and each one only feeds at most a couple VCO's or other modules. I do have some CV buffers/splitters in the modular but I don't think I'm using them here.

[rockangel1967]

may i ask how many VCO's LFO's are running? and i see you are using the 16 step sequencer from MFOS :-)

[bchris1776]

@rockangel1967

I think 6 VCO's and probably three VC-LFO's.

Sequencers include the Klee, MFOS, CGS Gate sequencer, and a 4 step 4017 Sequencer.

wow

[Vuduman]

wonderful sound... amazingly it reminded me of a song i haven't heard in about 10 years. Took a while to conjure the track from my memory, but check out the beat that kicks in at 2:00 minute mark here: youtube.com/watch?v=6FqVXi-lwv­g Match the tempos, the percussive sounds are similar.
