Minimoog: bastardizing the base panel.
Designed by Robert Moog in 1970, the Minimoog Model D synthesizer is still regarded as the Rolls Royce equivalent for analog keyboard-based synthesizers. Specifically designed for touring musicians, the minimoog exported electronic music experiments from university labs out to the masses - and her deep farting bass-sounds (think of Kraftwerk's Autobahn), lead and space bleeps and sweeps have become HUGELY popular over the last 38 years.
There were originally 13,000 minimoogs produced between 1970 and 1981. After a brief hiatus during the digital-synth craze in the 1980s, the minimoog enjoyed a resurgence of interest among musicians since the 1990s...and yes, it's becoming harder to get a hold on one.
I obtained this Mini from a studio garage sale back in 1989 for US$ 150 (in prime condition - save the crackling external input knob). After lying dormant for 7 years now, it's time to bring life back into this 1973 model D mini. Tropical humidity heavily damaged the furnishing. It needs re-tuning of the oscillators, cleaning of the electronic board, new switches for filter modulation, and thinking about a new base panel.
When I came home from work today, my room had been lovingly re-arranged. My Korg and Casio were set up right next to each other like this, ready to play. The Dick Smith variable power supply was new that day on sale, and the multimeter is my trusted friend for many many years now.
My only wish is that the Casio had a mod wheel. It's got a Vibrato On/Off button, which applies Modulation controller in one big jump, but, no mod wheel. The lack of velocity sensitivity doesn't phase me that much.
A thermistor is used to find the temperature of the room. The arduino then updates the speed of a 12V computer fan by use of pulse-width modulation (PWM). As themistor detects more heat, the fan increases in speed, and as the themistor cools down, the fan slows down. An opto-isolator was used to isolate the 12V parts from the Arduino (which operates at lower voltages). The Arduino was programmed in C++.

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

Equipped with sophisticated Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) peripheral the Microchip PIC18F14K50 microcontroller could produce up to four PWM channel outputs. The enhanced PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode in ECCP peripheral is capable to drive the full bridge DC Motor circuit directly both in forward or reverse direction. It also could generate single PWM output on the selectable PIC18F14K50 pins when it configured in pulse steering mode. For more information you could visit www.ermicro.com/blog/?p=1461
The long reach rear brake; this took some fiddling; the reach was almost not long enough to reach the 650b rim. I have to use v-brake pads because the threaded posts on these are slightly thinner than ones on the road-brake shoes; plenty of braking power and modulation, though; definitely an upgrade in those areas from the tektrok R-556 sidepulls
One of my facebook friends posted a status update observing that, if you go to Mitt Romney's facebook page, note the number of "likes", and then re-load, you can see the number of "likes" drop in real time!
This was a complete shock to me, that disappointed voters might express themselves by "unliking" their erstwhile favorite candidate after the election, and at a remarkably steady rate.
I wrote a stupid little shell script to periodically poll Facebook for the number of "likes" on Romney's page. The data from the last several days is plotted above. As you can see, Facebook users—presumably disappointed Republicans— are de-friending Mitt Romney at a consistent rate of around 10,000 defriendings per day.
There is also a clear daily modulation to the dislikification rate. I conclude that these fairweather friends do not defriend Mitt while they are sleeping, but once they wake up again in the morning, they get right back to pressing "unlike".

Info:
Mid 1980's Tantek, Tanrak Studio Effects Rack which was available in kit form or ready built. Modules audio signals are linked internally with their own bus or Use the rear 1/4'' sockets as a patchbay in stand-alone mode. On the face of it, they're simple analogue effects - a bit old-fashioned, really - but that's the charm of them. They've perfectly useable and immediately accessible, so you'll have great fun fiddling with the settings - try sweeping the EQ frequency, or riding the delay time for on-the-fly munchkinisation, for instance.
Even better, you'll find new ways to patch the modules together. Everything - in, out and sidechain - is accessible from the rear panel (there's a default path from left to right across the rack if you don't want to use patch cords) so you can create LFO-modulated delay effects, frequency-sensitive compression ... you think of it, you can do it.
STEREO COMPRESSOR/LIMITER - A high quality stereo comp/limiter with variable input, slope, attack and release controls, and a switched 'key' input that can link both channels...handy for de-essing, ducking etc. It's pretty much 'invisible' when used as a limiter, only squeezing when the threshold is crossed (depending on the ratio setting). Great for laying vocal tracks, mix thickening, fattening up drums, percussions and bass. In fact, it can make anything sound 'phat' but still retains that important top-end clarity.
MULTI-DELAY - This exciting module opens the way to high quality time domain effects including ADT, chorus, echo, vibrato and reverb. It features a built-in limiter, auto-optimising bandwidth, true spatial stereo outputs and multi reflection reverberation.
MODULATION OSCILLATOR - A CV modulation source whose features include sinewave output, variable duty cycle, key or CV controlled depth, triggerable sweeps and two independently variable outputs. Used with the muli-dealy to create chorus, flanging etc.
DYNAMIC NOISE FILTER - An effective single ended, easy to use, stereo noise reducer which will be found invaluable in any home studio set up to enhance the signal to noise ratio of outboard effects including those which exhibit digital quantisation noise.
STEREO NOISE GATE – This is a pro noise gate. Variable threshold, attack, release controls, with a 'hold' timer control to keep the gate open for a predetermined time after triggering from the switched 'key' input on the back panel. Good sensitive threshold control, it really enables you to home in on that elusive area between the sounds you want and the sounds you don't, with the threshold setting staying put and not 'drifting'.
POWER SUPPLY MODULE – Supplies regulated 12v DC power to all of the above modules via the 240v mains lead. It's got an on/off switch and an LED. It sits at the end of the rack.
Atmospheric optics expert James Bridge had this to say:
"I
don't know how many times this effect has been noticed but it must be
quite often because you are the second person to ask about it in the
last year, to my knowledge. I first noticed several years ago and
started to think about it. The striking thing is the way it encircles
your eye. Eventually I wrote a paper for Physics Education and you can
find a copy on my web site www.xmas.demon.co.uk/misty.html. So
far as I know it had not been written up before.
In outline, it is an interference effect due to light scattered by the
water drops, related to the rings seen on dusty mirrors and first
described by Newton. However, those rings don't centre on your eye and
do require a directional light source. The mist droplets scatter light
by refraction and act as tiny point sources; the mirror reflects their
light back towards you. As it passes the same drop, some of the light is
scattered again by diffraction and this scattered light interferes with
the light passing to the side of the drop. Because the second scattering
only affects about 10% of the light, the intensity modulation is not so
marked and the rings not so obvious. The paper gives a much fuller
account with diagrams."

Paintings from South India
These two paintings are from the same series, which appears to have been commissioned by a British patron from the East India Company. Elements of European watercolor landscape painting are evident in the distant vegetation along the low horizon line and in the modulations of the grass and sky.
The top painting depicts one of South Indias renowned processions in which the movable image of divinitiesin this case Shiva and his wife, Parvati, on the bull Nandiare carried aloft by priests. On special festival days, the presence of the gods is ritually transferred from the icons in the temple sanctum to the movable images in order to provide opportunities for the masses to receive the blessings of darshan (seeing god and being seen by god) during the procession. Dark-skinned mendicant holy men are directly beneath the palanquin. A dancer and musicians are shown in front of a cluster of devotees at the far right. (For information on the use of South Indian music in the context of ritual processions, see the computer kiosk program.)

My best friend lent me this old Blaupunkt short-wave/AM/FM radio for the basement recording studio...
Even deep in the cellar (without an external antenna!) it somehow receives stations my new, hi-tech stereo does not... they come in like aberrations.... broadcasting across space and time (whatever they are).
The green window appears to be an actual oscilloscope... indicating the signal strength of these ethereal frequency modulations.

This is a device that mixes radio waves (~1 GHz) with light waves (~1 million GHz).
By applying a radio-frequency signal to the connector, one varies the voltage applied to a thin strip of LiNbO3 embedded beneath the three gold "clips" in the very middle of the device. This voltage in turn modulates the effective index of refraction of the material. Therefore, by focusing light (from the side, in this photo) into the fiber-like waveguide one can introduce phase or frequency modulation on the light beam at the applied radio-frequnecy.
jsc2021e037283 (8/11/2021) --- Nanofluidic Implant Communication Experiment (NICE) (Faraday-NICE) aims to develop an implantable drug delivery system that allows for remote control and modulation of the release of therapeutics over weeks to months. In this investigation, fully assembled implantable devices are tested for remote communication capabilities from Earth to the International Space Station (ISS). This investigation aims to verify that 100% of the communications between controller and implant is achieved and maintained on station. Implants are immersed in saline solution, a surrogate of physiological conditions, then placed and sealed in 15 ml containers. The tubes are mounted within the ProxOpS Faraday experimental box.

Wildlife Notes
Weaver ants or green ants (genus Oecophylla) are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae (order Hymenoptera). Weaver ants are arboreal and are known for their unique nest building behaviour where workers construct nests by weaving together leaves using larval silk. Colonies can be extremely large consisting of more than a hundred nests spanning numerous trees and contain more than half a million workers. Like many other ant species, weaver ants prey on small insects and supplement their diet with carbohydrate-rich honeydew excreted by small insects (Hemiptera). Oecophylla workers exhibit a clear bimodal size distribution, with almost no overlap between the size of the minor and major workers. The major workers are approximately 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) in length and the minors approximately half the length of the majors. There is a division of labour associated with the size difference between workers. Major workers forage, defend, maintain, and expand the colony whereas minor workers tend to stay within the nests where they care for the brood and 'milk' scale insects in or close to the nests.
Oecophylla weaver ants vary in color from reddish to yellowish brown dependent on the species. Oecophylla smaragdina found in Australia often have bright green gasters. These ants are highly territorial and workers aggressively defend their territories against intruders. Because of their aggressive behaviour, weaver ants are sometime used by indigenous farmers, particularly in Southeast Asia, as natural biocontrol agents against agricultural pests. Although Oecophylla weaver ants lack a functional sting they can inflict painful bites and often spray formic acid directly at the bite wound resulting in intense discomfort.
Weaver ant colonies are founded by one or more mated females (queens). A queen lays her first clutch of eggs on a leaf and protects and feeds the larvae until they develop into mature workers. The workers then construct leaf nests and help rear new brood laid by the queen. As the number of workers increases, more nests are constructed and colony productivity and growth increase significantly. Workers perform tasks that are essential to colony survival, including foraging, nest construction, and colony defence. The exchange of information and modulation of worker behaviour that occur during worker-worker interactions are facilitated by the use of chemical and tactile communication signals. These signals are used primarily in the contexts of foraging and colony defence. Successful foragers lay down pheromone trails that help recruit other workers to new food sources. Pheromone trails are also used by patrollers to recruit workers against territorial intruders. Along with chemical signals, workers also use tactile communication signals such as attenuation and body shaking to stimulate activity in signal recipients. Multimodal communication in Oecophylla weaver ants importantly contributes to colony self-organization. Like many other ant species, Oecophylla workers exhibit social carrying behavior as part of the recruitment process, in which one worker will carry another worker in its mandibles and transport it to a location requiring attention.

During Trans Am's encore at Santo's Party House, this dumbass got up and started headbanging to "I Want It All"... he then proceeded to fall over taking out Sebastian's ride cymbal and the ride's mic. The mic stand appeared to be broken as someone in the front row of the audience held it up for the rest of the song.
It was a good but weird show... someone had dropped the Nord keyboard that Nathan uses and was replaced by a Moog from another band. The trouble with that was that Nathan switches between vocal modulation with the keyboard and playing the keyboard, so he had to juggle cables all night long... not a lot of fun for him or the rest of us. Although it did sound good... with some missing lyrics in certain places and their new material off of "Thing" (Thrill Jockey) sounds great.

Once the life of the party and the center of attention, he played all the greats: the big bands, the stars and so many radio shows. He consoled the family during the war and celebrated triumphantly at the dance when it ended. But time went by and technology and music changed. A guy with the gyrating hips and new loud instruments and bands without horns!
The phonograph never was any real competition, but the coming of the transistor signaled the beginning of the end for old fuzzy. The Hi Fi set gradually replaced Old Fuzzy's fine "Golden-Throated Monaural" technology. Solid state circuitry came home and it could play that raucous Rock and Roll music much louder and clearer and in stereo too. The new set had frequency modulation and clearer sound than ever before - although FM couldn't bounce off the ionosphere and deliver live music from around the world!
Then the tube tester was removed from the corner drug store and the radio store stopped carrying vacuum tubes. Now they could only be gotten from old Russian military surplus - the enemy that Old Fuzzy used to play civil defense drill warnings for, and now he was using their tubes. For a while he made a interesting plant stand but eventually was relegated to the basement where he has sat ever since miserably pondering how it all came to this. once he was swinging on top of the world and now a moldy relic too interesting to throw away but too old to be in the living room anymore.
Fuzzy's small consolation is that the record 8-track and cassette players have all found their way to the county electronics recycling day. His fancy mahogany and maple veneer, Bakelite and mother of pearl details make him too handsome for that. So he sits and hopes that maybe some day someone will haul him out again. After all fads come and go, but back in the good old days there was true style and true style never goes out of fashion!

ANTONIO BONET. In 1942, Bonet participates in the constitution of the Organization of the Integral House in the Argentine Republic. The idea of the formation of its work ties it with the ideas suggested by Him Corbusier throughout the process of preparation of the Plan of Buenos Aires. "the routine servitude of conception submissive the outsider does not exist any worthy of consideration argument seriously nor even in that some Argentineans live" So that the initial note of a universal modulation does not take place in our country, whose hope appears in the immediate perspective of the world: on the area in catastrophe of the cities martyred by the war, the genius of the man already begins to project the new forms of the human coexistence. On the contrary, the essential circumstance of our historical youth and the one of our adventurous peace, locate to us in the moral obligation to create new forms of life anticipating us to whatever of project and of dream it even subsists in a world of towns in flames and ruins. This thought of Bonet, is taken from the N° Notebook 1 of OVRA, titled Study of the Contemporary Problems for the organization of the integral house in the Argentine Republic. Without a doubt, the text gathers part of the optimism of the Austral Group. But while this one was directed to the architects and its problems, in the OVRA manifesto the horizon is ampler, next to certain discovered nonfree of messianism of the American, coincident with other similar initiatives in other places of the continent.
Reflections of Antonio Bonet on the architecture: "the architectonic elements that will form the new city will be formed by a series, numerous, of structures little systematized. Those structures will be able to arrive to the maximum from their aesthetic, technical perfection and economic, since besides to be placed in free lands, its study must be based on the progressive improvement of such types, so as it has become in the great architectures of the past. Within those structures, that will be the expression of the effort of the social man, to obtain the order and the harmony of its time, never will be obtained to a freedom reached after the development of the life of the man like individual, and the one of its institutions. It is well certain that we are even far from that stage, But does not fit doubt that once demonstrated that the modern buildings can be developed in simple structures, more and more seemed to each other, it will make the importance powerful of this system. Those buildings will be used and the equipped for but diverse uses, without aging with it, although they will have to work at a time whose social programs, industrial, etc., are in permanent evolution. I am going to finish with the confession of my conviction of which to group the programs for the unification of the structures, is something enormously difficult, but some is no doubt that it is the way that will take us forms to the true architectonic of our time. in that the diverse social programs will be developed freely, cultural hygienic, etc., that must form the structure of the new society.
Bathing girl, Ca.1882.
The Sukiennice Gallery, Krakow.
A fascination with the exotic character of the Orient, associated with overcoming cultural Eurocentrism and seeking new intellectual and artistic values, which was aroused during the period of Romanticism, lasted in painting for decades, with time turning into the superficial exploitation of the sexual subject matter. The favourite motifs of painters included harem and slave trade scenes imbued with hidden eroticism. Bathing Girl, one of several dozen similar works painted by Szyndler known as Odalisques, Sultanas, Female Slaves or Daughters of Persia, can serve as an example. The painting, regarded as a classic example of Polish academic art, is marked by outstanding technical brilliance. Rendered in dark, golden and brown tonality, it enchants with harmonious modulations of shades and colour values obtained thanks to soft, almost “tender’ brushwork and the glaze application of paints. A silky smooth body of the girl has been contrasted with the texture parts of the work. The artist painted over the original work to remove the figure of a man looking at the naked beauty, depicted in the background.
Georges Seurat（1859 - 1891）
Oil on canvas
79.5 x 95.5 cm
This painting is a striking demonstration of Seurat’s pointillist technique. The modulation of light and shadow on the wall is achieved with the use of small dots of pure colour juxtaposed in varying concentrations and intensity.
The young model depicted by Seurat was his mistress, Madeleine Knobloch, who bore him two sons. This painting thus takes on a very personal meaning.

Oddly, at about the same time I was taking this shot, Pikebubbles was taking this shot, which definitely has ducks. I can't help but feel that the presence of ducks enhances light painting considerably.
A breadboard test of a DC motor controller. It works by PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation), using a TLC3704 comparator chip to generate a variable mark/space ratio square wave. This is then fed to a HUF75337 power MOSFET. There's a 5k pot in a box to control it.
I hadn't actually tried the new amp with pedals until today. I was still getting used to how much I loved it all by itself.
Man, there is nothing like a Marshall Plexi (well, or facsimile thereof) as a stompbox platform.
That Skreddy Hybrid Fuzz Driver feels like it should be built into the head. It works with the existing tone extremely well.
BTW, yes I've been using the Power Scaling. Even set like this, the guitar will start to feed back as soon as I'm not muting the strings.
I've reached a point of comfort with the Zero Point flanger where I like to just leave it on. It's like a tiny little bit of modulation that makes me happy. I mean, I still step on it sometimes for a whoosh of flange-y-ness, but mostly I just leave it idling and screwing up the signal a little.
Just in time for Thanksgiving, I'm really thankful for the sound of this rig. I mean, there's not a lot to it, but it does pretty much everything I want to hear. Although I still need to find a wah that doesn't suck. I'm told those exist.
National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen: This depiction of the artist's wife, Amelie, is one of Matisse's most famous paintings and a masterpiece within 20th century portraiture. Much of its strength resides in its simple geometric structure and in the way in which the colors are combined. Spatial modulation is pared back to a minimum. Effects of light and shadow, which would have added depth to the image, have been translated into planes of color instead.
The painting was presumably painted in the autumn of 1905, when Matisse had returned to Paris after spending a summer in the fishing village of Collioure. Here, he and Andre Derain engaged in ever-wilder painterly experiments intended to release color from its descriptive function, allowing it to act as a force in its own right. With its unorthodox use of color, the painting is built on those experiments.
One of the advantages using the Microchip PIC microcontroller Pulse Width Modulation or PWM for short is; this PWM peripheral circuit is designed to control the DC motor using the full bridge mode PWM feature. The PWM peripheral works by supplying the correct signal to the H-Bridge DC motor circuit such as speed controlling and changing the DC motor direction.

The Tektronix Type 191 Constant Amplitude Signal Generator. It's an RF signal generator but it does not have any modulation input.
Filaments of the Cyanobacterium Anabaena, from a Vernal Pool in the Warm Springs area of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Salinity was about 7-PPT.
This photomicrograph was taken with a Nikon Coolpix P5100 using Hoffman Modulation Contrast optics with oil immersion at 1,000x magnification.
Anabaena was the dominant organism in the floating microbial mat in the pond, exceeding other microorganisms by a factor of about 300-fold.
Anabaena is a nitrogen fixer. The large cells in the filament are the Heterocysts, which isolate the nitrogen-fixing process from oxygen [oxygen inhibits the nitrogenase enzymes].
The smaller, square-shaped cells carry out photosynthesis, fixing carbon and producing oxygen. This was readily evident by the masses of small bubbles in the floating mat.
Notice the fine "hairs" on the Heterocyst cells. These are some of the other bacilli that inhabit the mat and cluster around the Heterocyst cells, probably for nitrate.

With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.
