Subject: EML 200 Modular fun on YouTube

Someone caught me at the Analouge Heaven meeting last year(in Oakland,
CA, USA)and put up these video's on You Tube.

(Thats my CB device I made)

It's me and my trusty EML200-Yamaha setup
I was doing a search for EML there, and these video's came up..cool!
I'm famous now! :-)

The yamaha cs5 was in a fire and all the keys were pretty burned..so I
colored them for fun:-)It actually interfaces very well with the EML.
( same volt per octave kind of thing)
However, there is an issue right now with the EML ( and I started to
explain it in the video, but was cut off) Theres an 'extra' sound in
the osc tone..it's like it's being ring modulated. It almost sounds
like a grounding issue. BUT..it adds to the gritting biting tone.
Lately I have been putting it thru a Behringer Tweakalizer with it's 3
filters and envelope follower and other effects..and it's a good match
as well.

The EML has some unique modules in it..one is that electronic switch
which I was demoing. It also has an ENV, Ring Mod, AMP mod and
pushbutton pulser, and the Sample Hold rate all in one module. I made
a VAZ Modular model of it, but it's not the same as grabbing those big
knobs.

A funny coincidence when I was there at the AH meeting. I had brought
my original patch book of the EML with receipt when I got it in
1977.(from EMSA ) The guy that had signed the receipt was there at the
AH meeting..and I had a lot of fun meeting him and talking..what a
trip to say the least!
