How to Assemble and Use the Supplement Things you will need Parts in the Kit Phillips screwdriver (No. 1) AA alkaline batteries (4 new) Knobs (5) * Please note that rechargeable NiCd batteries and non-rechargeable Oxyride and nickel-based batteries should not be Washer head screws (7) used due to a high risk of components melting or fire breaking out with these batteries because of accidental short-circuiting or the like. Additionally, because this supplement was designed based on operation at 6 V, it may not operate in the desired way due to an excess of or a deficiency in voltage with the above batteries. Incidentally, most rechargeable batteries provide 1.2 V and Screws (3) Oxyride batteries, 1.7 V. Main unit Cellophane tape Notes for tightening screws The types of screws used for the supplement are those that carve grooves into the plastic as they are inserted (self-threading). The screwdriver most suited to tightening the screws is the #1 JIS screwdriver. When tightening screws, Circuit board firmly press the provided screwdriver straight against the screws and turn. It is said that 70 percent of the force applied is used for pushing against the screw and 30 percent for turning it.

  • A Nonlinear Analysis Framework for Electronic Synthesizer Circuits
    A Nonlinear Analysis Framework for Electronic Synthesizer Circuits Fran¸cois Georges Germain Department of Music Research McGill University Montreal, Canada October 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. c 2011 Fran¸cois Georges Germain i Abstract This thesis presents a theoretical and experimental study of the nonlinear behaviour of analog synthesizers’ effects. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate and complete current research on nonlinear system modelling, both in and out of the field of music technology. The cases of single-input and multiple-input effects are considered. We first present an electronic analysis of the circuits of common examples of analog effects such as Moog’s lowpass filter and Bode’s ring modulator, extracting the equations of each system. We then discuss the results of experiments made on these systems in order to extract qualitative information about the distortion found in the system input-output relationship. Secondly, we look at the literature for methods used to model single-input nonlinear systems, and we investigate the opportunities to extend these techniques to multi-input systems. We focus on two different modelling approaches. The black-box approach seeks to model the input-output transfer function of the system as closely as possible without any particular assumption on the system. The circuit modelling approach uses the knowledge of electronic component behaviour to extract a transfer function from the known circuit of the system. The results of both approaches are compared to our experiments in order to evaluate their accuracy, identify flaws and, when possible, suggest potential improvements of the methods.

  • Production Notes
    Production Notes ABOUT THE FILM Timed to the 50th anniversary of NASA’s celebrated Apollo 11 mission, Apollo 11: First Steps Edition is a thrilling cinematic experience that showcases the real-life moments of humankind’s first steps on the Moon. In this special giant screen edition of Todd Douglas Miller’s (Dinosaur 13) critically acclaimed Apollo 11 documentary, the filmmakers reconstruct the exhilarating final moments of preparation, liftoff, landing, and return of this historic mission—one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and the first to put humans on the Moon. It seems impossible, but this project was possible because of the discovery of a trove of never-before-seen 70mm footage and uncatalogued audio recordings—which allowed the filmmakers to create a 47-minute version of the film tailored exclusively for IMAX® and giant screen theaters in science centers and museums. Apollo 11: First Steps Edition is produced by Statement Pictures in partnership with CNN Films. The film is presented by Land Rover, and distributed by MacGillivray Freeman Films. “The Apollo 11 mission was humanity’s greatest adventure and we’re pleased to be bringing this edition to science centers and museums everywhere,” says director Todd Douglas Miller. “This film was designed to take full advantage of the immersive quality of IMAX and giant screen theaters.” But how did it happen? How did this one-in-a-lifetime batch of footage remain undiscovered for fifty years? Miller explains that as his team was working closely with NASA and the National Archives (NARA) to locate all known Apollo 11 footage, NARA staff members simply discovered reels upon reels of 70mm, large-format Apollo footage.

After exploring how this production complements existing works on the synthesizer, electronic music, identity, communication and group association, this reflection explores my creative process and decision making as an artist and filmmaker through the lens of a qualitative researcher. As part of this, I will discuss logistic, as well as artistic and creative, challenges.
