ARPParty
A Arp 2500, 2600 and two drums.
Vermona DRM & Metasonix D-1000 (Vacuum tubes).
We did a few takes of this.
Here is an earlier one that ended on the cutting room floor.
Though I'd place a link to it as part of the exercise:

Buchla Music Easel & Vermona Drum
Playing with the BEMI Easel.
The Easel is clocking the Eurorack TriggerMan (Delphtronics) which is in turn
triggering the Vermona DRM 1 (Mark III).

Who's the girl (playing that 1960ish Moog Modular)?
Does anyone know who this girl is?
I'd love to know her name? Is she a musician?
I understand that The R.A. Moog modular that she is playing is this one (bar some different modules in the upper right of the top case and the absence of the second keyboard):
The system includes:- three 901 VCOs, 901A VCO driver, four 901B VCOs, 903 White Sound Source, two 904-A LPFs, 904B HPF, 904C filter coupler, three 902 VCAs, three 911 envelopes, 911A dual trigger delay, 907 10-band fixed filter bank with a unique original switching system, and a five-octave keyboard
with portamento.
The basis of the system dates from August 3 1967. I understand that the picture with the girl was taken in the summer of 1969. There is a record of a second service being carried out at R.A. Moog when the extra cabinet & modules were added).
This modular is the 10th proper system sold by Moog since they started keeping records (based on serial numbers) at the beginning of 1967. Professor Emerson Meyers of the Catholic University electronic music studio used it to create the late 60s LP "Provocative Electronics".

Vermona DRM - How to install CV triggers
I've owned a Vermona drum for many years. It's a DRM 1 - Mark III.
I love it to bits but purchased it in the days when I was only interested in midi triggering.
Since getting into modulars I started to regret not buying the version with the CV triggers.
I've read that adding the triggers is easy but could never find info on the web relating to this.
Hopefully these pics will help others wanting to do this mod on their own.
Once you see how easy it is you will prob want to get to it right away.
The triggers are placed into the spot on the left with the 10 caps.
Once you have opened the drum, remove these caps.
These are the trigger modules. You will need two (there are 5 trigger inputs in each).
The underside of a trigger module.
This is the inside of the DRM. Beautiful to behold!!
The CV trigger modules have a ribbon cable that simply plugs into the PCB as shown.
That's all that is really needed. No soldering :-)
Many thanks to Matt of "RhythmActive" for supplying the trigger modules.

Buchla Jam 3 - Acid sounds - Cobramatic & Jondent
Some trial patches and recordings from last Sunday night (15th June 2014).
I thought I'd upload this info to help in recalling these patches for future gigs.
DJs Cobramatic & JonDent
The recording is only from a mobile phone so sorry for the lo-fi audio quality. The square wave from the 262v is very special.
And some pics from the night.
Below are some links to extra (unlisted) videos we recorded on the night.
Video 1 , Video 2, Video 3

Buchla Glitch drums
Some new collaborative patches & jamming with Paul A (a.k.a. Cobramatic).
We are trialing out some gear (mainly a Veroma DRM drum and assorted Eurorack modules)
with our Buchlas.
I really like the Vermona DRM 1 & Tiptop Trigger-Riot.
Below is an earlier recording taken on my smart phone.
The recording quality isn't as good, but it was recorded with the lights on so you will have a better idea of the patch:
And some pics of the patch:
Nice. Dual MM u-Steps
The Vermona DRM 1. It's a great analog drum machine.
