In Early 2010 I started working with Brendan Gaffney of <a href=\"http://www.burnheartsynth.com/\">BurnHeart Synthesis</a>. One of the big projects we\'ve been working on is adapting the Benjolin into a fully modular system.  \r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1294.JPG\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1294.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"294\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1261.JPG\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1261.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1273.JPG\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1273.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1268.JPG\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1268.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>\r\n<hr>\r\nHere\'s a video showing the first prototype of the current modular Benjolin design. You can also see modular benjolin version 1 in the top left corner of the screen. \r\n<iframe width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/O3cgDeXJ7lE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h2>Makin\' it modular:</h2>\r\nIt was important to us in adapting the Benjolin to make sure it retained all of the original functionality that Rob designed into it.

What makes the Benjolin a truly unique sound generator is the addition of a complex wave modulator called a Rungler. Here’s Rob\'s (the inventor of the benjolin) explanation of what it is and a little on how it works.\r\n“The purpose of the rungler is to create short stepped patterns of variable length and speed. One could categorize the circuit somewhere halfway between a plain S&H and a shift register-based pseudo-random generator. It needs two frequency sources to work and basically creates a complex interference pattern that can be fed back into the frequency parameters of the driving oscillators to create an unlimited amount of havoc. <p>The rungler is basically a CMOS shift register clocked by one oscillator and receiving its data input from the other oscillator. The output bits of the shiftregister are used as a binary code \'to do something with\'. E.g. in the Benjolin the last 3 stages of the shift register for a 3 bit code that is fed into a 3 bit DA converter. This DA eight level output voltage is fed back to the oscillator frequency control inputs. The output of the DA is the \'rungler CV signal\'. To describe the rungler waveform in similar terms as like a sine wave or pulse wave I call it a \'stepped havoc wave\'.\"<p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<strong>CLOCK INPUT MOD:</strong>\r\nIn an effort to make the Benjolin completely modular I have added some buffering circuitry to allow external oscillators to control the two inputs to the rungler. The rungler requires waves with a bipolar swing, therefore I’ve included bipolar comparators at each of the two inputs, therefore nearly any clock fed in will be transformed into a bipolar +-9VDC square wave. \r\n<hr>\r\n<strong>BIT OUTPUT MOD:</strong>\r\nThe Rungler is a serial input shift register with a 3 bit output. The three outputs are fed into a DA converter and turned into a varying voltage. By adding output jacks at each output BEFORE it goes through the DA converter you have three gate signals which can be used as clocks, triggers or binary CV signals for other things. I’ve found them to be great drum triggers. \r\nThe way shift registers work is that the state of each bit is passed from one to the next in order so it is helpful to position them in the correct order on your face plate. The order of operation is pin 2, 12, 3.\r\n<hr>\r\n<strong>LOOP MOD:</strong>\r\nIn order for the Rungler to work it needs a serial data signal to be fed into the Rungler shift register  The serial data is generated by an XOR gate which combines oscillator 1 and the 3rd bit output of the shift register.\r\nI found that the rungle sequence can be looped by changing the OSC input of the shift register. \r\n<em>NO input = 8 step loop.\r\n-9VDC input = 16 step loop.\r\nExternal clock/16 step loop.</em>\r\nIn order to allow external clocks to be used, I added a bipolar comparator. The input to the comparator is pulled low, so if no signal is plugged in the output of the comparator will be -9VDC. That means that if no signal is plugged in and you send the comparator output to the XOR OSC input you will get a 16 step loop. This also means you can use a 3 position switch to select  OSC1 (random rungle signal)/ 8 step loop / 16 step loop (or external input).

What makes the Benjolin a truly remarkable sound generator is the addition of a complex wave modulator called a Rungler. Here’s Rob\'s (the inventor of the benjolin) explanation of what it is and a little on how it works.\r\n“The purpose of the rungler is to create short stepped patterns of variable length and speed. One could categorize the circuit somewhere halfway between a plain S&H and a shift register-based pseudo-random generator. It needs two frequency sources to work and basically creates a complex interference pattern that can be fed back into the frequency parameters of the driving oscillators to create an unlimited amount of havoc. <p>The rungler is basically a CMOS shift register clocked by one oscillator and receiving its data input from the other oscillator. The output bits of the shiftregister are used as a binary code \'to do something with\'. E.g. in the Benjolin the last 3 stages of the shift register for a 3 bit code that is fed into a 3 bit DA converter. This DA eight level output voltage is fed back to the oscillator frequency control inputs. The output of the DA is the \'rungler CV signal\'. To describe the rungler waveform in similar terms as like a sine wave or pulse wave I call it a \'stepped havoc wave\'.\"<p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<strong>CLOCK INPUT MOD:</strong>\r\nIn an effort to make the Benjolin completely modular I have added some buffering circuitry to allow external oscillators to control the two inputs to the rungler. The rungler requires waves with a bipolar swing, therefore I’ve included bipolar comparators at each of the two inputs. Now nearly any clock fed in will be transformed into a bipolar +-9VDC square wave. \r\n<hr>\r\n<strong>BIT OUTPUT MOD:</strong>\r\nThe Rungler contains a serial input shift register with a 3 bit output. The three outputs are fed into a DA converter and turned into a varying voltage. By adding output jacks at each output BEFORE it goes through the DA converter you have three gate signals which can be used as clocks, triggers or binary CV signals for other things. I’ve found them to be great drum triggers. \r\nThe way shift registers work is that the state of each bit is passed from one to the next in order so it is helpful to position them in the correct order on your face plate. The order of operation is pin 2, 12, 3.\r\n<hr>\r\n<strong>LOOP MOD:</strong>\r\nIn order for the Rungler to work it needs a serial data signal to be fed into the Rungler shift register.  The serial data is generated by an XOR gate which combines oscillator 1 and the 3rd bit output of the shift register.\r\nI found that the rungle sequence can be looped by changing the OSC input of the shift register. \r\n<em>NO input = 8 step loop.\r\n-9VDC input = 16 step loop.</em><p>\r\n<strong>External clock/16 step loop:</strong>\r\nIn order to allow external clocks to be used, I added a bipolar comparator. The input to the comparator is pulled low, so if no signal is plugged in the output of the comparator will be -9VDC. That means that if no signal is plugged in and you send the comparator output to the XOR OSC input you will get a 16 step loop. This also means you can use a 3 position switch to select  OSC1 (random rungle signal)/ 8 step loop / 16 step loop or external input. If that\'s confusing, dont worry about it, just follow the schematic above.\r\n\r\n\r\n','Rungle Mods',0,'','inherit','open','open','','575-revision-9','','','2011-07-12 01:14:54','2011-07-12 06:14:54','',575,'http://casperelectronics.com/2011/07/12/575-revision-9/',0,'revision','',0),(652,2,'2015-03-15 06:29:09','2015-03-15 11:29:09','&nbsp;\n\nclick on the schematic for a larger version.\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Benjolinmodularization.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2048\" alt=\"Benjolinmodularization\" src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Benjolinmodularization-460x276.jpg\" width=\"460\" height=\"276\" /></a>\nAdding inputs to the Benjolin is easy.

I want the base voltage to be exactly 0 volts so I installed a trim pot to the positive power supply. I use this to pull up the negative swing of the envelope until it is exactly 0 volts. It will take some fine adjustment. An oscilloscope will make it a lot easier but isn’t totally necessary. One way to test without a scope is to plug the output of the AR generator into the CV input of a VCO (like one of the ones on the benjolin). Make sure the AR is not being triggered.

In Early 2010 I started working with Brendan Gaffney of <a href=\"http://www.burnheartsynth.com/\">BurnHeart Synthesis</a>. One of the big projects we\'ve been working on is adapting the Benjolin into a fully modular system.  \r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Benjolin/ModularBenjolin/IMG_12955.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Benjolin/ModularBenjolin/IMG_12955.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_12955\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-644\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1261.JPG\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1261.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1273.JPG\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1273.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1268.JPG\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/benjolin/IMG_1268.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>\r\n<hr>\r\nHere\'s a video showing the first prototype of the current modular Benjolin design.

We also wanted to greatly extend its capacity to interface with other gear, especially other Benjolins. So, while it <em>is</em> completely modular we decided to include the normalized features of the original, like \"rungle amount\" for the oscillators and filter and put in switches on the rungle section to switch between the original setting or external inputs. \r\nHere\'s a list of all the features, old and new.\r\n<hr>\r\n<strong>FEATURES:</strong> <em>(** indicates original feature.

It was home to the wildly successful DIY video game arcade <a href=\"http://babycastles.com/\">Baby Castles</a> and the pioneering life/show documenting installation <a href=\"http://partylab.swillchildren.org/\">PartyLab</a>. A few weeks ago The Silent Barn was heavily burglarized and essentially demolished from the inside out. They are currently fundraising to help replace stolen equipment and start a new space in the near future. Check out their kickstarter <a href=\"http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1008830584/rebuilding-the-silent-barn\">here</a>.\r\n\r\nA message from Lucas Crane of the Silent Barn.\r\nWe here at the silent barn believe strongly in the principle of \"Stunt Booking\" If you think it won\'t work, try it anyway. Does that music not make sense together? Put them on different floors! Urban Lemons into High Octane Lemonade. Well, what\'s the best way to use a broken and defiled venue? Our Phoenix ready to rise with all the love and support we have been receiving? Let\'s install something that we believe speaks to the tenacity, hope, art and dialogue that the Barn has always been about. An interactive Sound/Light Installation!\r\n\r\nNow on view by appointment only, we\'d like to present Peter Edward\'s SPECTRE. Three full spectrum, sound sensitive, interactive glowing spheres that hang in our kitchen/living room, where thousands of bands have sweated and fans have boogied, the lyrical simplicity of the pulsing relationship between sound and light exemplifies our pre-burglary lives, culture stew and all. \r\n\r\nThe artist, Peter Edwards, is a musical instrument designer and electronic artist living in Troy, NY who over the years has contributed many aspects of the Silent Barn, from painting murals to surreal construction to sage advice and friendship. It seemed a shame to let the rubble just sit there while we wade in the swamp of city planning, architects, and court dates, and we will be soothed by the rainbow display of pulsing harmony that the sounds of our clean up will produce.\r\n\r\nPlease email us at Silentbarn@gmail.com if you\'d like to schedule a viewing of this remarkable interactive sculpture.

My work investigates the range of intended and unintended functionality of electronics and questions how every day objects can be used as tools for unique creative expression.  I explore these boundaries by hacking and reworking electronic devices to create intellectually and viscerally engaging media. Much of my work focuses on generating audio and musical output as well as complexly linked visual displays. In all cases my intention is to create an experience for the viewer that engages their senses and piques their desire to take part in the creation of that experience. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/installations/Specter/the%20orb.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/installations/Specter/_the%20orb.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"  /></a>','Artists Statement',0,'','inherit','open','open','','211-revision-v1','','','2011-05-13 21:24:04','2011-05-14 02:24:04','',211,'http://casperelectronics.com/2011/05/13/211-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(733,2,'2011-07-12 00:10:03','2011-07-12 05:10:03','View my sound cloud page <a href=\"http://\">here</a>.<object height=\"225\" width=\"100%\"> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F1767281\"></param> <param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess=\"always\" height=\"225\" src=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F1767281\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"100%\"></embed> </object>  <span><a href=\"http://soundcloud.com/casperelectronics\">Latest tracks by casperelectronics</a></span> \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Benjolin/ModularPerformanceSynth/casperVSnonhorse.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Benjolin/ModularPerformanceSynth/casperVSnonhorse.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"casperVSnonhorse\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-610\" /></a><br>\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/aboard-a-ship-of-fingers-and-nails/\">New album </a>on line!

It exploits the malfunctions found, most often in digital circuitry, when the circuit is “confusedâ€ by crossing data signals. The effects range from garbled audio output to random melody generation and lots in between. In many cases the results are shockingly bizarre and unexpected. \r\n\r\nAlthough the practice of bending is relatively simple, the appeal is far reaching. \r\nFor the musician and artist, circuit bending can be appreciated for the novel sounds produced in the process or the striking visual presence of a heavily altered, once common, electrical device.\r\n From the view point of the bender one enjoys the liberation found in modifying mass produced electronics and making them ones own.\r\nIn an academic arena it can be appreciated for it’s inventive approach to electrical engineering, the encouragement it gives to question the concept of obsolescence, the recycling of discarded technologies. \r\n\r\nSome of the most profound significance of bending comes when it grants the viewer a glimpse into a world that exists just below the surface of a world the think they know and know on a very personal level, for circuit bending is most often targets children’s toys as creative fodder. Children’s toys which many viewers have grown with and then outgrown and discarded. Here is where the perceptual shift that bending  offers can begin.\r\n\r\nBending encourages people to explore the world around them more closely, to question what is shown versus what is possible. It invites creative manipulation and exploration of what we are given and encourages people to create something expressive and unique from even the most common and mundane.\r\nFor these reasons, I think of circuit bending as a creative approach rather than a technical process. It may not be too dramatic to call it a philosophy. One that encourages deeper consideration and personal reclamation of a world which is fast losing it’s uniqueness and finding in it’s place faceless product and manufactured identity.  OR one might say that bending is simply a fun way of building weird sound gadgets. That’s the joy of the medium, you can delve as deeply into theory as you want or simply enjoy the process.\r\n\r\n<strong>Circuit bending as a learning tool:</strong>\r\nCircuit bending is a creative approach to exploring a technical medium. In many ways it mimics the approach one might take to learning how to paint. \r\nArguably the best way to learn either of these mediums is to jump in and start exploring. One need not deeply understand the chemical make up of the paints they use in order to begin painting. In this same way one need not understand the complex theory involved in electronics in order to start bending.  \r\nIdeally as one spends more time with either of these mediums they will begin to gain a more intimate understanding of technique and theory.\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>\r\nWhat is the difference between circuit bending and circuit modification?</strong>\r\nThere is a distinct difference between the two although they often informally share the same definition. \r\nBending is to “confuseâ€ digital circuitry. It is an experimental process, the results are unknown for which many benders are grateful. A known outcome holds no surprise. \r\nModification is a more informed and deliberate process and often is performed by replacing or adding circuitry. Common examples of useful mods are the addition of an a pitch adjustment or audio output jack and volume control . These require a basic understanding of the circuit, some simple rewiring and sometimes some component replacement or addition. Mods are not necessarily exploiting any glitch within the operation of the circuitry, they are simply increasing access to and depth of existing functionality. Mods and bends work very well together and the approach taken in each process brings practices useful in the other. Often bending gains from a bit more deliberation and modding gains from a bit more exploration. I think that the ideal is a seamless combination of processes \r\n','Circuit Bending',0,'','inherit','open','open','','214-revision','','','2008-11-19 19:11:39','2008-11-20 00:11:39','',214,'http://casperelectronics.com/2008/11/19/214-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(745,2,'2011-10-12 17:39:37','2011-10-12 22:39:37','<p><a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/Kosmos1.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/Kosmos1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Kosmos1\" width=\"460\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-739\" /></a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/kosmos2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/kosmos2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"kosmos2\" width=\"460\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-740\" /></a></p>\r\nKosmos is a new piece commissioned by the Contemporary Artists Center and funded in part by the New York Foundation For the Arts. \r\nIt was designed by myself and <a href=\"http://www.twistycat.org/\">Ed Bear</a> and is a continuation of my exploration of the ORB. \r\nThe orbs are hung outside and respond to environmental noise in the form of colored and audio feedback. \r\n<iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q5h5pz_BF4g\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>','Kosmos',0,'','inherit','open','open','','376-revision-22','','','2011-10-12 17:39:37','2011-10-12 22:39:37','',376,'http://casperelectronics.com/2011/10/12/376-revision-22/',0,'revision','',0),(746,2,'2011-10-21 17:26:17','2011-10-21 22:26:17','<p><a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/Kosmos1.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/Kosmos1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Kosmos1\" width=\"460\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-739\" /></a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/kosmos2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/kosmos2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"kosmos2\" width=\"460\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-740\" /></a></p>\r\nKosmos is a new piece commissioned by the Contemporary Artists Center and funded in part by the New York Foundation For the Arts. \r\nIt was designed by myself and <a href=\"http://www.twistycat.org/\">Ed Bear</a> and is a continuation of my exploration of the ORB. \r\nThis piece is brand new and more documentation is on its way. \r\n<p>\r\nThe orbs are hung outside and respond to environmental noise in the form of colored light and pseudo random digital audio tone output. In both cases the output (light and sound) react to the amplitude and frequency of audio each unit receives. Put simply, high frequency sounds like a child screaming (see the video below) will be one color while low frequency sounds will be another. \r\n\r\nThe audio is analyzed using two methods, one is simply amplitude or peak tracking. This is used to trigger the audio output when the amplitude of the incoming audio signal exceeds a preset level. All other audio analysis uses FFT (fast fourier transform) algorithms to read the spectral content of the environmental sound. This allows for a broad reading of many sounds in an environment not just one dominant signal. Therefore specific ranges of sound such as human speech or wind can be pinpointed and ignored or listened to accordingly. In this case the orbs are especially sensitive to human voice and less sensitive to wind or cars driving by. \r\n<iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q5h5pz_BF4g\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>','Kosmos',0,'','inherit','open','open','','376-revision-23','','','2011-10-21 17:26:17','2011-10-21 22:26:17','',376,'http://casperelectronics.com/2011/10/21/376-revision-23/',0,'revision','',0),(747,2,'2011-07-13 02:43:02','2011-07-13 07:43:02','<object height=\"81\" width=\"100%\"> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18942153\"></param> <param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess=\"always\" height=\"81\" src=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18942153\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"100%\"></embed> </object>  <span><a href=\"http://soundcloud.com/casperelectronics/inside-the-hollow-tree\">The Hollow Tree</a> by <a href=\"http://soundcloud.com/casperelectronics\">casperelectronics</a></span> \r\n<object height=\"81\" width=\"100%\"> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18406748\"></param> <param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess=\"always\" height=\"81\" src=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18406748\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"100%\"></embed> </object>  <span><a href=\"http://soundcloud.com/casperelectronics/hot-cement\">Hot Pavement</a> by <a href=\"http://soundcloud.com/casperelectronics\">casperelectronics</a></span> \r\n\r\n<object height=\"81\" width=\"100%\"> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18529179\"></param> <param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess=\"always\" height=\"81\" src=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18529179\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"100%\"></embed> </object>  <span><a href=\"http://soundcloud.com/casperelectronics/beat-repeater\">beat repeater</a> by <a href=\"http://soundcloud.com/casperelectronics\">casperelectronics</a></span> \r\n\r\nThis is a completely modular performance synthesizer designed to generate a <strong>wide</strong> range of sounds and musical environments while also being relatively portable. It was custom built to fit snugly into a military grade shipping case and is reinforced to withstand lots of bumps and thumps.<p> There\'s no midi or presets on this thing. All sounds and sequences are created by patching points together and building up complex musical systems. The synthesizer is similar to many modular synths of the past but incorporates a number of unconventional modules like frequency controlled audio samplers and a voltage controlled light display. The basic layout is: about a dozen analog oscillators and filters, 3 loop-able random sequence generators, a clumsy but effective analog drum machine, a fleet of glitched out 80\'s era digital effects circuits, 3 <a href=\"http://www.electricdruid.net/index.php?page=projects.taplfo\"> micro controller based tap tempo LFO/rhythm clocks</a> a whole bunch of mixers, a stereo compressor and a high power light synth.

One of my main goals was to make something I could tour with and bring to europe. All of the power supplies are switching supplies which means they will work anywhere in the world. Ironically the piece ended being so awesome that it weighs 85 pounds which means it costs about $200 to check-in on most planes if they take it at all, which many airlines will not. I learned after finishing that many airlines set the limit at around 80 pounds. blarg. But at least I\'ve got a great synth for an american tour!

It consists of two main components:<p>\r\n-	Sound sensitive orbs (each 1-2 ft in diameter) hung approx 8’ from the floor.<p>\r\n-	An  array of proximity sensors at floor level. </p><hr /><br />\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/explodedBall.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosmos/explodedBall-527x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"explodedBall\" width=\"200\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-418\" /></a>\r\n<strong>The Orbs:</strong> Each orb is made of translucent cast acrylic and contains a speaker, microphone, high brightness tri color lighting array and a microcontroller. Movement in the room is tracked by the sensors which trigger musical tones within the orbs. These tones as well as ambient noise within the room are translated into rich, colored light displays within each orb and across the greater system.<p>\r\n The light intensity and color are sound sensitive through the use of a microphone and microcontroller. Brightness is a factor of amplitude, hue is a factor of frequency (treble vs bass tones). This means that the sounds people make within the room will result in a highly responsive, variable light display. The functionality of the orbs are based on the circuitry developed by Chris Scully (my partner at the soon to launch<a href=\"http://www.ghostwizard.com\">Ghost Wizard</a> Design) for a piece I built in late 2010 called <a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/finished-pieces/specter/\">Specter</a>.

For instance a single person standing still will give different feedback than one person dancing through the space, or a crowd of people. This data will be used to trigger audio signals and melodic sequences which will be generated by discrete speakers within each orb. The speaker which is generating sound will correspond to the location of movement within the room. Therefore as someone walks across the room, the sound will follow them from globe to globe.

BUILDERS!\n<h2>1.</h2> I encourage everyone to source their own parts. It takes a lot of time (trust me) but you\'ll save money and it\'s a good thing to know how to do if you want to get into building. <br>\n<p>\n<h2>2.</h2> A note about parts substitution. Many of the parts above can be substituted for similar parts. That means if you look on mouser and they are out of the <strong>511-TL074CN</strong> but they have the <strong>595-TL074CN</strong> you can use it. just make sure the replacement part you get is <em>through hole</em> and not <em>surface mount</em>. The kind of chip is a TL074 quad op amp. All the other numbers just specify manufacturer or often unimportant variables like temperature operating ranges. In a high precision design these things will matter but not in an audio circuit like this one. The same goes for transistors. The 2N3904 is a general purpose NPN transistor being used in a general purpose way. If you have a bunch of 2n2222 NPN transistors around, use those.  <br>\nWe used TLC556 timers in this circuit. These are low power dual timers and are a bit harder to find than regular 556 chips. If you cant find the TLC version, just use the regular ones, but you may get a little more clicking from the tremolo effect than usual.  <p>\n\n<h2>3.</h2> The potentiometers and switches have been mounted on the board for two reasons. One is to dramatically simplify the building process, the other is to reduce noise. It is VERY likely that mounting the pots and switches off board will generate significant amounts of noise and oscillator cross talk. This is a big problem with the CD40106 IC used to create the oscillators. The noise was not entirely eliminated by mounting hardware on board but it was dramatically reduced. When mounting hardware off board it is extremely important that shielded cable is used as much as possible.</hr>','Drone Lab Parts',0,'','inherit','open','open','','312-autosave','','','2011-11-28 13:52:24','2011-11-28 18:52:24','',312,'http://casperelectronics.com/2011/11/28/312-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(768,2,'2011-05-30 13:29:39','2011-05-30 18:29:39','<strong>Drone Lab <a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/finished-pieces/drone-lab/drone-lab-v2/\">HOME</a><br></strong>\r\nBelow is a list of all of the parts used in the Drone Lab.<br>\r\nIf you want to build the Drone Lab using the official <a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/drone-lab-pcb-artwork/\">PCB</a>, you will need to use the hardware listed below.

It takes a lot of time (trust me) but you\'ll save money and it\'s a good thing to know how to do if you want to get into building. <br>\r\n<p>\r\n<h2>2.</h2> A note about parts substitution. Many of the parts above can be substituted for similar parts. That means if you look on mouser and they are out of the <strong>511-TL074CN</strong> but they have the <strong>595-TL074CN</strong> you can use it. just make sure the replacement part you get is <em>through hole</em> and not <em>surface mount</em>. The kind of chip is a TL074 quad op amp. All the other numbers just specify manufacturer or often unimportant variables like temperature operating ranges. In a high precision design these things will matter but not in an audio circuit like this one. The same goes for transistors. The 2N3904 is a general purpose NPN transistor being used in a general purpose way. If you have a bunch of 2n2222 NPN transistors around, use those.  <br>\r\nWe used TLC556 timers in this circuit. These are low power dual timers and are a bit harder to find than regular 556 chips. If you cant find the TLC version, just use the regular ones, but you may get a little more clicking from the tremolo effect than usual.  <p>\r\n\r\n<h2>3.</h2> The potentiometers and switches have been mounted on the board for two reasons. One is to dramatically simplify the building process, the other is to reduce noise. It is VERY likely that mounting the pots and switches off board will generate significant amounts of noise and oscillator cross talk. This is a big problem with the CD40106 IC used to create the oscillators. The noise was not entirely eliminated by mounting hardware on board but it was dramatically reduced. When mounting hardware off board it is extremely important that shielded cable is used as much as possible.</hr>','Drone Lab Parts',0,'','inherit','open','open','','312-revision-2','','','2011-05-30 13:29:39','2011-05-30 18:29:39','',312,'http://casperelectronics.com/2011/05/30/312-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(769,2,'2011-11-28 13:50:48','2011-11-28 18:50:48','<strong>Drone Lab <a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/finished-pieces/drone-lab/drone-lab-v2/\">HOME</a><br></strong>\r\nBelow is a list of all of the parts used in the Drone Lab.<br>\r\nIf you want to build the Drone Lab using the official <a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/drone-lab-pcb-artwork/\">PCB</a>, you will need to use the hardware listed below.

BUILDERS!\r\n<h2>1.</h2> I encourage everyone to source their own parts. It takes a lot of time (trust me) but you\'ll save money and it\'s a good thing to know how to do if you want to get into building. <br>\r\n<p>\r\n<h2>2.</h2> A note about parts substitution. Many of the parts above can be substituted for similar parts. That means if you look on mouser and they are out of the <strong>511-TL074CN</strong> but they have the <strong>595-TL074CN</strong> you can use it. just make sure the replacement part you get is <em>through hole</em> and not <em>surface mount</em>. The kind of chip is a TL074 quad op amp. All the other numbers just specify manufacturer or often unimportant variables like temperature operating ranges. In a high precision design these things will matter but not in an audio circuit like this one. The same goes for transistors. The 2N3904 is a general purpose NPN transistor being used in a general purpose way. If you have a bunch of 2n2222 NPN transistors around, use those.  <br>\r\nWe used TLC556 timers in this circuit. These are low power dual timers and are a bit harder to find than regular 556 chips. If you cant find the TLC version, just use the regular ones, but you may get a little more clicking from the tremolo effect than usual.  <p>\r\n\r\n<h2>3.</h2> The potentiometers and switches have been mounted on the board for two reasons. One is to dramatically simplify the building process, the other is to reduce noise. It is VERY likely that mounting the pots and switches off board will generate significant amounts of noise and oscillator cross talk. This is a big problem with the CD40106 IC used to create the oscillators. The noise was not entirely eliminated by mounting hardware on board but it was dramatically reduced. When mounting hardware off board it is extremely important that shielded cable is used as much as possible.</hr>','Drone Lab Parts',0,'','inherit','open','open','','312-revision-3','','','2011-11-28 13:50:48','2011-11-28 18:50:48','',312,'http://casperelectronics.com/2011/11/28/312-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(770,2,'2011-11-04 19:30:07','2011-11-05 00:30:07','</style>\r\n</head>\r\n<body bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><b>PETER EDWARDS</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>http://www.casperelectronics.com</p>\r\n\r\n<p>pete@casperelectronics.com</p>\r\n\r\n<p>53 3rd St. Troy NY 12180</p>\r\n\r\n</hr><hr>\r\n\r\n<p><b><u>Education</u></b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Rhode Island School of Design, RI: 1996 to 2000 B.F.A., Sculpture</p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Hudson Valley Community College, Troy, NY: 2010 to present </p>\r\n\r\n<p> electrical engineering and computer sciences.

I designed and built this piece with collaborator Chris Scully.<p>\r\n The Moral Kombat series was conceived of and run by sound artist <a href=\"http://nonhorse.com/\">Lucas Crane</a> and is described nicely on the Clock Tower website:<br>\r\n\"Moral Kombat is a bi-monthly performance series, curated by former AIR artist in residence G Lucas Crane, that pairs audio artists together in a sound battle in the Clocktower. An inquiry into the impossibility of assigning objective value to music, this series poses the questions: \"Who plays the most moral music? Who\'s improvisation was conducted with the highest level of moral content?\" Questions answered by the equally thought provoking Moral Magistrate, an interactive light sculpture that utilizes long forgot World War I technology to interpret and communicate messages of fate.\"\r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://artonair.org/play/10510/show/moral-kombat-casper-electronics-vs-g-lucas-cran\"><img src=\"http://artonair.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/bodyview_enlarged/show/10510/node-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"casperVSnonhorse\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\"/></a>\r\n\r\n\r\nI was excited to be invited to take part in the final Moral Combat performance. An appropriately epic end to the show pitting show conciever vs magistrate creator. The recording can be heard <a href=\"http://artonair.org/play/10510/show/moral-kombat-casper-electronics-vs-g-lucas-crane\">here</a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/MoralMagistrate/node-image_15.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/MoralMagistrate/node-image_15-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"node-image_15\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-783\" /></a>\r\nIn the picture above you an see the Magistrate at work judging two performers.</p>\r\n<strong>What does it do?</strong><p>\r\nThe Moral Magistrate is designed to record audio data from two musicians, process that data and determine which performance (and hence performer) had greater moral content. Rather than focusing on HOW it does this we have tried to turn the audiences attention to the questions a device like this introduces. What is morality? Is our inner moral character reflected in what we do (like perform music)? Can technology quantify the intangible? How much is this technology forming our world and our conceptions of reality and even spirituality?\r\n<a href=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/MoralMagistrate/node-image_9.jpg\"><img src=\"http://casperelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/MoralMagistrate/node-image_9-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"node-image_9\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-782\" /></a><br>\r\n<p>\r\nThe stages of the moral assessment process are represented through 3 modes which utilize sound and light cues. <p>\r\n1. The first mode is <strong>data collection</strong>. During this period the musicians perform and the lights on the magistrate face light up one at a time until they are all lit indicating that data is being collected and stored.<p>\r\n2. Next is <strong>data processing</strong>. This mode is activated once the performance is over and the memory bank is full. When activated the lights blink in seemingly random patterns as data is accessed and assimilated. This sequence is accompanied by a pattern of random tones. A progress bar at the bottom of the light grid fills until the process is complete. <p>\r\n3. The final mode is <strong>moral proclamation</strong>. Once the most moral performance is determined, the magistrate will activate a light facing the performer. \r\n \r\n<strong>Theory:</strong><p>\r\nThe goal of the moral magistrate was to make a device which used sound and light as a dramatic performance prop in such a way that would draw the viewer into thinking that something complex was happening.  I was initially going for the ubiquitous early sci-fi \"flashing light\" computer look which says to the viewer \"something technical is going on\". Its a bit over the top in its gratuitous use of flashing lights and blipping sounds but not entirely unbelievable as a real tool. It had to be interesting to look at (handsome design, flashing lights), draw in the audience (uses progress bars to build anticipation) and allow people to think that maybe its actually real. I think that people are general willing to believe that technology can do anything. So that last part was taken care of for me.

There\'s a lot of layers to this piece that I\'m pretty excited about. I\'m using a simple modular synth (The MFOS sound lab ultimate with added ring mod) as a complex feedback pattern generator. I could talk about this part for a while. The oscillators are feeding the ring mod and sample&hold modules, then they are feeding the frequency input of the oscillators. Its a tangle of feedback signals that results in extremely varied and surprisingly animated patterns.\r\n Then I\'m using several voltage outputs from the system (oscillators, sample&hold, ring mod out, etc) as control voltages to feed glitch gate transistors in the nintendo video brain. With some tweaking I\'ve been able to get a pretty broad range of visual patterns and I\'m really excited about the frequency alignment patterns that are emerging when the control oscillator frequency and video rate frequency align at various harmonics. There\'s a lot of potential depth in this layout that I\'ll be spending the next 2 weeks exploring.

The right column switches between \"short\" and \"long\" mode for each row. In \"short\" mode, the sequencer creates one 50% duty cycle pulse per step. In \"long\" mode the sequencer outputs a 100% duty cycle pulse per step. So it will string two or more pulses next to each other into one long pulse the image below should clarify.\r\n</p>\r\nHere is the most current schematic as of December 7 2011.
