... Consequences was a uni project, Phaze Reverse was a test using phase inversion tweaks as an effect, and OTK was meant to be a bit more polished but too much audio buzz and hiss got captured, and I couldn't go back as it was made on a multitracker and the tracks have been bounced down multiple times!
Anyway, they're pretty fat considering they were all made using the first gen electribe series (OTK was made with EMX-1 and EM-1, and an extra layer of fuzz/light-distortion/overdrive was added by running a layer of the bassline thru the 6V Gakken filter, with different settings recorded for the left and right channels.).

6V Gakken-based Filter Sounds
This is a demo of the Gakken-based 6V filter I made last year. Had this in my multi-tracker since then, but CD drive broke on it, so could not export any audio until now.
This is a B-line with squelchy fills in between. The original sounds were made on the Korg EMX-1, and each was fed individually through the filter at different settings.
It really is an easy build, and even though its not great to tweak, it does work nice via CV modulation (?), and it doubles as a lo-fi distortion box.
I have also fed drum loops thruogh it, and with some gating they sound pretty sick.
This is a copyright free demo, so if you like the sounds feel free to sample the crap out of 'em! Just stick a link in a comment so I can hear what you did with it.

Gakken-based 6V (transistor) Filter
Here's a cheap and Lo-Fi filter I made in about 6 hours. That includes picking up parts too. I still need a knob for the gain pot.
I got the schematics from here:
http://www.magicmess.co.uk/electronics/6vfilter.php
As you can see (if you've looked at the Gakken schematic), this is almost identical to the Gakken filter section, with a few resistor sizes altered and different routing for input through that 100k resistor - I experimented reversing the CV and filter inputs, as the Gakken has the filter pot going through the 100k resistor instead of CV, but it worked less well.
This is a proper lo-fi filter, so your not going to get all those big juicy filter sweeps with it. And, unless I wired something wrong in mine, you'll lose the signal (in slightly different ways) at high and low gain settings. It sounds like a bit crusher or decimator effect - which is cool.
You can adjust the input levels along with the gain trimmer to tune in certain sounds. In fact, I found that this can fatten dry character-less sounds quite a bit.
The way I've been using it is somewhere between distortion and tape saturation, but without the hiss. You will get the characteristic 'droning' sound identical to the Gakken SX-150 (so that must also be the source of the drone in that unit too!!!), especially when there's no sound running through it. So gating is in order. But I've made bass-sounds, etc, sound much hotter and oversaturated, and I've run some drums through it - to get that fat borderline-distorted 1997-2000 drum sound.
Will put up sounds later.
