wtpa? 8-bit sampler DIY


YouTube via kidtronic
"Tom Bugs told me about Todd's kit and I just made one with a soldering iron. Here's a look at how I decided to case mine and a small peek at what yoiu can do with it. No overdubs or computer software used. Last I heard there are only a few of the first 200 kits left, details in the end credits. Sampler the size of a paperback, and it does a lot. Thanks to George for the help drilling and cabling the case!"

"VocaForm - an iPhone formant synthesizer.
More info at http://timbolstad.wordpress..."
On iTunes here
"VocaForm is a monophonic performance synthesizer instrument for the iPhone / iPod Touch. It uses formant synthesis to mimic resonant body sounds such as a voice. The results are similar to vintage 8-Bit console sounds.

The user interface focuses on making live performance simple, intuitive, and fun. The main screen is optimized to allow easy access to the most useful parameters. Detailed sound adjustments can be performed in the editing screens.

Features:
* 2 octave, Moveable-Do keyboard.
* Responsive, touch-based vibrato.
* Adjust each sound by editing 5 formant regions.
* Editable ADSR envelope.
* Accelerometer controlled volume."

MULTI FUNCTION VCF

via musicsynthesizer.com where you'll find the full article.

"Although the VCF implemented in the 3372 is a standard 4-pole low pass, the additional circuitry made of UX14, UX13, UXI5, UX17 and the one percent resistor array on the left of UX17 allows 15 different filter modes including high pass, band pass, notch and all pass. Understanding how this magic trick happens requires a little theory."

Replaced Osc A level pot, recapped CPU board, power supply, 2 voice boards, output board.
2 keyboards: replaced bushings, cleaned j-wires & buss bars.
Replaced battery; loaded factory patches; tuned & scaled.
Installed MIDI
The tape drive board was found to be faulty, very common to these, so I had the Wine Country MIDI retrofit installed.
You won't find another Prophet 10 in better operating condition, but then again, you probably won't find another Prophet 10, period.

Crowphonics CRO-1 Available


via the Crowphonics mailing list.

"I've covered the few advanced orders of CRO-1s and now I've just made three that are sitting here and ready to ship now. Therefore, its a good time for anybody who prefers to buy under the understanding that its in stock and ready to ship. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll send a paypal request out.

Working on CRO-2 circuit now. Just messing around with circuit for preamps for external audio input and ringmod initially. I'll post some sounds up when I have a bit of the circuit I'm happy with.

Thanks to Robert and Surachai at the Chicago synth meet yesterday for including the CRO-1 amongst all the great stuff and for getting it on video too (a few sqeauls of CRO-1 at 1 min 08).
http://trashaudio.blogspot.com/

Big up the Chicago synth geeks massive!!! I can swap a CRO-1 for the Serge.

This week Crowphonics is expanding to include my wife 2.5 days a week as her job as the main breadwinner is going part time. I should get more boxes made now as I can't let her see how lazy I really am. Its a new challenge as I now have to make some money with this!!!"
