[Hey, peeps! I make roleplaying games, science fiction and Sword & Sorcery art, and other cool stuff! Back me up so I can make more!<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been building synthesizers for about a year now. My first, BRIGAND<\/strong>, got lost on the way back from Richmond, VA, where it was part of a recording for WRIR, Richmond Independent Radio. That recording is now on my Soundcloud as the self-titled EP by Def Sensor.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put off rebuilding it out of frustration more than anything else. But then I started to think about how I could use Control Voltage\/Gate (“CV\/Gate”) to integrate it with other noiz machines. It took me several weeks, but finally, BRIGAND is reborn as SCION<\/strong><\/a>! (Sorry it’s so quiet! It didn’t used to be? Not sure what happened! There will be more later, though!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCION<\/strong> started off as a breadboard mockup<\/a> where one potentiometer was mashed together with an optocoupler to give input from another oscillator, keyboard, or…who knows! It could be anything that generates 0-5 volts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
