Metasonix r52 filter demo

13 October 2009 in Uncategorized

I just bought a Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera, and wanted to try it out for recording some tweaking of the modular. There was some discussion on muffwigglers forum about the Metasonix R52 filter, so I decided to set up a simple patch, tweak some knobs, and record the result. I ended up with the video below.

I’m quite happy with how it turned out (for a first video). The camera has two modes (landscape and macro). I filmed the entire thing in macro. It starts out a little fuzzy as I was too far away whilst starting out. Around the 30 second mark, you’ll notice it gets a lot sharper. Audio was direct from the modular. (The built-in mic isn’t fantastic)

The patch was two Plan B model 15 oscillators into the r52 filter, into a metasonix r51 VCA/distortion (just to give it some volume, distortion was minimal) into a multiple which went to my speakers, and also the camera input.

One thing I noticed after uploading the video is that youtube has done something strange to the high frequencies. There’s some really strange aliasing sounds (more noticable towards the beginning) that don’t turn up on my original copy of the video.
