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.

The following are quick sound samples of the Plan B Model 30 Triple Digital VCO Subsystem.

There are no sound sources outside of a single Model 30 which is being either frequency, timbre or level controlled by external envelope generators, random voltages and LFOs. There were no filters, delays or any other types of sound processing devices incorporated.

These samples are dry.

Sample 1: Sawtooth output demo
Patch: Mini Mode 1. Three sawtooth waves:

Sample 2: PWM demonstration
Patch Mini mode 1. THree VCOs tuned to unison with a single envelope
generator controlling PWM on each:

Sample 3:
Patch: Mini Mode 2.
Three sine waves with the amplitude of VCO 3 being controlled by a single envelope generator:

Sample 4: Minimode 2 with internal sync.
Same patch as above with the external sync function turned on:

Sample 5: Sloped Random Waveform demo
Patch: Mini Mode 1. Three VCOs tuned to unison, their frequency
controlled by a single S+H and the output set to the second of two
noise-based waveforms:

Sample 6: Sine purity demo
Patch: Mini Mode 1. Same pach as above with the waveforms set to sine:

Sample 7: VC waveshape demo
Patch: Mini Mode 1. Same patch as above, this time with an external
envelop generator modulating the wav eshape of all three VCOs form
sine to saw:

Sample 8: Frequency Shifting demo
Patch: Frequency Shift 2. A single drone controlled by five
independent LFOs. One is altering the waveform of each oscillator,
three other LFO set to very low amplitude are sweeping the frequency
of the oscillators with one other LFO varying the amplitude of VCO2:

The first video focuses on the new Plan B cases.
The ringer looks like a no-brainer. I’m surely going to be picking up a few of those. I’m kind of torn on the zero case. It’s really attractive looking, and at 384HP, is looking like a good replacement for my two a100P cases. I’m hoping the price is equally attractive. I found the power saving modes of the zero intriguing. My day job involves writing code for OS power management, so perhaps this appeals to my nerdy side, but hopefully it’ll have general appeal. Saving money on electricity bills means more money for more modules right?

The second video has Peter demoing the model 32 joystick, which after seeing the video looks like it may actually be on my ‘want’ list too. I had previously written it off as ‘just another joystick’. Finally, the model 30 triple digital subsystem looks like it could be capable of some really interesting tones. Looks like it’s going to eat up a lot of HP though. It currently looks like approx the width of the Livewire AFG. Even wider once you factor in the model 30A control attenuators. I recall reading something in the last few days that Peter intends to change the way that the ‘preset’ is selected, which will cause the model 30 to be a little more wider. Regardless of how wide it ends up, I think I’m sold on it already. The number of Plan B modules in my setup seems to be slowly catching up to the Doepfers.

I’m looking forward to seeing what else Plan B come out with this year. Like many others, I’ve been looking forward to the milton for a long time. (Even so much to postpone buying the A-154/A-155 combo, relying instead solely on my MAQ/16 for sequencing). Running down through the list of modules there’s a lot of really cool sounding pending stuff that hasn’t been released yet. Plenty to look forward to.
