How about a sticky serving as a sort of sound-demo library of CGS modules?
With some of the more exotic modules, it can be hard imagine what they can sound like...
I can post a sample of the Synthacon filter, and others later...

yes, finding audio demonstrations of his designs can be tough
the easiest thing i think is to look at some websites that sell premade cgs modules like metalbox or bridechamber
Ok, I have a proposition:
Posts containing soundclips should be easy to pick out from the rest (the rest being "nice sounds man", or "you need more attenuverters on that, dood" etc). Something like this:
Samples - CGS 666 Dystopian Discombobulator Demo
Yadayadayada (description)
Soundfile here
Yadayadayada (selfpraise, thanks to Ken, etc)
A heading in bold at the top of the post for easy ID of the module sampled and then a description and download link.
No page-long novellas - just the goods at the top.
Edit:
If the heading is done like the one above, it should be easily searchable through a webbrowsers searchfunction.
Very easy to see what's there, instead of searching/wading through pages of posts to find something...
Ah well - a sticky will do for now, won't it? _________________ Some Rubber Stamp Sound Effects - and other sound effects Last edited by Coriolis on Fri Aug 01, 2008 2:00 pm; edited 1 time in total
Ok, it's sticky now. May I suggest to use a keyword, something like (sample) or something, such that you can use your browser's search function. Will look into the meta link now.
Edit: looked at it, it's a manual thing I see .. the owner of the first post in the thread could be appointed as a volunteer I guess _________________ Jan
also .. could someone please turn down the thermostat a bit.
Much'n many thank yous for making this a sticky, Jan! Once I'm back and set up my older computer in the electronics shop again, I'll start making samples of my CGS stuff to gives ideas of things.
How about one for Ray Wilson's stuff? (Though - he hasn't nearly the variety that Ken does - he still will have his own 'sound'. No?? )

Actually they are numitrons - operate on about 3V (rather than 170V for nixies). but they look just like nixies....from a distance
They are hooked up to the CGS wavetable to indicate banks and waves.
First it's the folder section of the wavemultiplier.
First turning up folds, then offset.
Then turning down folds then offset.
Then modulation the folds and offset.
Then at 02.45 it's the Lockart wavefolder.
Just fiddling the knobs.
Then at 02.58 it's the Grinder.
I'm adjusting the tune of the DSG I'm using as oscillator, hence the changing in tone. I'm not sure if my grinder works as it should. It doesn't seem to do as much as I thought?
Then at 03.58 it's the CGS67 ringmodulator - and I can just say OMG! I didn't think it was that powerfull!
I start modulation the carrier after a while. Well you'll hear it.. _________________ http://www.thehumancomparator.net/

gated comparator/mixer demo
This is the GC being used as a sequencer -
not really a track, just set up a CGS dual LFO to run the GC. outputs of the GC go into a CGS DC mixer, output of the mixer to a CGS VCO. One tri out to a waveshaper, other to a Jim Patchell vocal filter.
the synth is left to its own devices until about 1:35 where I tweak the LFO settings a bit, in the last few seconds a feedback loop via a spring reverb gets inserted but its more noisy than nice....
CGS Infinite melody demo (3.03Mb 3:03)
CGS 1/f melody, clocks and CV from CGS dual LFO, output to CGS VCO, VCO tri out to CGS Wave Multiplier, then thru spring reverb purloined from a dead organ (well, it was dead once I had finished with it).

This rocks! Did you install the diatonic converter to the infinite melody? Or is it just the 1/f

cheers
just the 1/f
my synth with the diatonic converter has been in storage the past 4 years, hopefully will move to a bigger place later this year and can get it out, i miss it .
andrewF,
thanks for the CGS '73 filter demo, I'm glad I ordered a board now! Did you put the switch for the low frequency mode, ala VCFX? If so, any chance of a demo using this, I'm intrigued what this can do

here's a couple on soundcloud
1st is based on the CGS Serge73 VCF being modulated by a CGS DSG
dusg-vcf73
2nd is more complex but again uses CGS Serge 73VCF, CGS cmos dual VCF, CGS utility envelope generators do the modulating (These are totally fantastic EGs with ATT retrigger)
Also has my SDcard player and some PT2399 and zeitgeist delays.
