Cwejman vco-2rm,AS modular synth VCO+LFO and TR-606

here in the video i did a simple patch using just the output of the ring modulator from the Cwejman vco-2rm, the Analogue Systems VCO controlled by the Analogue Systems LFO and on the other input is the Roland TR-606 drum machine, i really love the sound of the Cwejman ring modulator alone, no aditional effects were used, just the 3 eurorack modules and the tr-606.

cwejman vco-2rm
The Cwejman VCO-2RM has two independent full featured VCOs and a ring modulator. It has internal connections for sync and linear frequency cross modulation, and are also pre patched to the ring modulator. All these connections go through normalized jacks, so external signals can also be used.
They deliver square and pulse waves, triangle, sine and four variants of ramp wave, each adding more over tones with a more nasal timbre. The VCOs can be switched to LFO mode and has both normal and inverted output.

They have a classic warm and fat VCO sound, not as harsh as the Doepfer, and not so muddy as the Analogue Systems.
It sounds so good that I don't automatically want to put them through in a filter to shape it. The PWM sound is extremely beefy. I can't guarantee the CV tracking all to the very top, but it sweeps from LFO to beyond the hearing level to somewhere around 22 KHZ.
Even at high modulation levels, it does not go into distortion, and keeping its warmth. That makes it a very good tool for FM sounds. The ring modulator is also a high quality unit. It sounds good, and accepts both AC and DC, making it useful as a VCA unit if needed.
On the downside, there are mainly two things. First, the waveform is determinate by a knob. I would have preferred to have them in separate outputs. The second is the lack of an octave switch.

TR-606
A cool little box! So primitive and cute! The 606 was the percussion side-kick to the TB-303. It even looks like the 303. It stores up to 32 patterns and 8 songs. The 606 allows switching between Pattern Play and Write mode while running - making the 606 the only drumcomputer in the X0X series that can be edited while performing and switching patterns. It is also possible to link up to 4 consecutive patterns in Pattern Play mode. There is only a mono audio output, however there are mods from Kenton Electronics and Analog Solutions that will add individual outputs for each drum tone.

The 606 has seven analog drum sounds which are simple, yet great! Kick, Snare, 2 toms, open hat, closed hat, cymbal, accent. The hi-hats are a very tinny electronic sound and its toms are great for soft tribal patterns. These seven sounds alone are still quite popular today, and the 606 has been used by Uberzone, Cirrus, Sneaker Pimps, Download, Aphex Twin, Astral Projection, Nine Inch Nails, Mr. Oizo, Jimi Tenor, Kid 606, OMD, Moby, Freddy Fresh, Autechre, Luke Vibert, Latinsizer, Nortec Collective and Union Jack.

For control, the 606 can receive or transmit DINSync for synchronization with other TR and TB family instruments. There are also two trig-outs on the unit, which make it very valuable as a pattern-programmable dual-channel trigger sequencer. It's often used for this by various people (Jimi Tenor) to 'drive' other sequencers and the like. (text review from http://www.vintagesynth.com/)

Latinsizer info:
In this project Pepe Mogt works with a very synthetic and basic set of musical tools to create a quirky approach to electronic music exemplified by "Ritmo 55", the first track released by Latinsizer which appeared on the Nortec Experimental CD. This approach could be described as a combination of the melodic work of early synth Pop classics such as Eno-era Roxy Music and Switched on Bach, modular synth based artists like Tangerine Dream and the grit of urban Tijuana, Latinsizer "live at MUtek.mx CD" has a more noise dance oriented aproach without loosing his analog roots

Latinsizer becomes an alternate project to Nortec, and particularly, to Fussible, recently playing at experimental and dance music festivals like Mutek or Decibel, currently is working on his new album and EP, Celofán is a video of his latest works.

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

fuckin sick sounds man

[pepemogt]

i love tr 606, sickness at maximum, ;)

[klausito1970]

Does the 606 go through a filter of the modular?

[pepemogt]

no, is just the ring modulator, tr606 and an oscillator

[HomerSparks]

thanks for the write ups!

[ilikeyouallot]

vry good, nice equip.. soop!!! !

[electrokinesis]

Fucking Sick!

[michaeltgrace]

Ahh, now all you need is a Patch Cable sponsorship and you're set.

[nebeklam]

pan sonic:)

[Leftyguitarplayer123]

that drum sound at the beginning is really incredible

[scaltek]

EXTRA +++++

[0MarciaAlexandria0]

Wow awesome equiptment.

cool sound

[alexdsteak]

... this video and the one that is a take on your track "Centro" gave me the spin of buying the VCO2RM to integrate in my Doepfer

modular... somewhat expensive compared to other modules, but the quality is superior, both in sound and industrial construction. Thanks!
