Dispersion - The Fourth Ever Pitch Controlled Modulation Effect

Dispersion tskes your incoming signal and clips it enough to use its pitch as a clock source for a clock divider. That clock divider then control both the time parameter of a delay and a silencer. So it becomes a pitch controlled lfo (sorta) controlled tremolo & vibrato effect. And of course I added a fuzz as well!

    Special sounds man! I really want an SK-1 and get back into bending, but everything changed when the fire nation attacked. I would love to hang with you at least once before my meat machine is permanently parked in an underground garage. I need someone to really show me how to move clips in my DAW. I never feel like I'm doing it right and I think that's whats been missing all these years. But seriously, I really dig your style mans! This is the music that music listens to... er something.

    Fun SK -1 trick without solder or twisted genius brain: Start with a looped sample… turn vibrato on and off.. the loop either drops from super sped up to normal in about two seconds, or builds up to normal from super slowed down .. about 20 seconds and krazy f’ed up

    Very relaxing sounds, and also very trippy! The track makes me think of lying on a fluffy white cloud, gently floating across the sky with other chill people also floating on their clouds, and with the aroma of joss sticks adding to the chill out vibe. Maybe it's a certain type of "cloud" we are all floating on (ahem!) Love the way you found and made such musical bends with your SK-1 :-)

    I know you are a Casio bending addict, but really you need to graduate to more powerful toys. My advice to that end? Buy yourself a Yamaha VSS-30, and create as many useful bends as you can find. 😉 My first sampler ever, was the VSS-30, which my mom bought me for my birthday, in the mid 80's when it came out. The SK-1 will always remind me of Homestar Runner.

      @@SimonTheMagpie I hope you find one soon, man!!! I'm super interested in what bends you'll find in there! I have a crazy feeling it's probably full of many possible useful bends. I sure wish I hadn't sold mine to a friend so many years ago. Like I said, it was my first sampler ever, and I've had a bunch, at this point. Just finally invested in 1010music's Blackbox kinda recenly. I finally figured out how to replace Ableton Live, but in a very minimal, portable way, while still being quite powerful. My No.1 sampler from 2001, to 2014, was Ableton. I went back to completely DAWless in 2014, but within in a few years, realized I needed something like Blackbox, to bring everything together into songs. It seems to work really well! In a way, Blackbox reminds me of my old VSS-30. 😁

    • @Mad4400
      @Mad4400 10 днів тому

      Musical Instrument Digital Interface was created to offer a standardisation for transmitting and receiving note, pitch and timing information. Many of the old home keyboards can be retro fitted with Midi, which then allows the keyboard to be controlled via a DAW or other Midi enabled equipment, as well as allowing you to trigger notes in the DAW or on other equipment from the keyboard. The model SK-1 shown in this video has had a Midi kit developed specifically for it, but there are also universal ones available and things like an Arduino can be programmed to serve as a Midi controller. There are other ways to synchronise musical gear, but it would require intimate knowledge of the instruments you are wanting to sync, as well as the ability to design and make the conversion circuitry for the clock signals. Midi in comparison is far simpler to implement.

    Couple of things. You should always put a current limiting resistor in series with a potentiometer across the power supply. If you have zero resistance between your voltage node and ground, that’s also a short. Also, I used to work for a company that did smt work. We would use flux generously, and it’s best practice to pre-solder the pads on the PCB. That way, you can just put the part in place over the pad, then heat up the pad. If you’ve used enough flux, the leg of the component should flow into the solder on the pad very easily.

    • @Mad4400
      @Mad4400 10 днів тому

      Not to mention, it's very easy to burn out the resistance track on the pot when the resistance gets close to zero.
