"The Ruin Electronics TCG-1 is a compact noise synth. The 'Tone Cluster' is a group of four Oscillators that can all be tuned with a single frequency control, but the oscillators can also be spread from the center frequency with the 'Spread' control. This gives great control over the four Oscillators using only two knobs. The oscillators can either be mixed in equal amounts or ring modded together. These modes are changed with a toggle switch. The Oscillator Frequency also has a CV input, labelled F CV that can be used with external gear. The output of the Oscillators is sent to the Filter. The Filter has Lowpass and Bandpass modes changed with a toggle switch.. There are knobs to control the Cutoff Frequency, and the Resonance. The Filter also has a CV input, labelled C CV.

The TCG-1 can either be powered by a 9v battery, found in the lid, or with an external center positive adapter from 12-18v."

The output from the TCG-1 is a 1/4" jack.

Space sounds, crackles, hums, percussion, alien speech, warbles, zaps, clangs, bangs, basslines, sequencer runs, rhythms. This is a great unit for performance, sampling, or just plain old fun!
Please see the video further down for a demonstration.
The units approximate measurements are:
7" width x 4" depth x 2.75" height

The unit features:

Tone Cluster VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) There are 4 Square wave VCOs in the Cluster, which can be tuned with the Frequency control, and spread from the center frequency in pairs, with the spread control. When the knob is close to center, the oscillators are closest to the center frequency, when it is turned either CW or CCW two Oscillators will move up and the other two will move down in frequency. There is a switch to control Ring mod or Mixing mode.
Bandpass/Lowpass VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter). The filter is extremely resonant and will self oscillate. The VCF has a Frequency and Resonance control and a switch for Lowpass/Bandpass response.
CV inputs for VCF and Tone Cluster control. The CV inputs are 1/8" jacks.
1/4" Output
9V battery or DC adapter. With a choice of either 9V battery or external DC adapter the unit can be a portable unit for busking or impromptu outside jam sessions (when accompanied by a portable amplifier) or a studio piece. Featuring an on board regulator the unit will clean up any power source from 12-18V"

Corsynth C104 - Kind of piano sound panel

"Kind of piano sound created using the CV control of the "Diode Soft Clipping" . One C104 VCO ( at audio range ) is used to modulated the Soft Clipping amount of another C104 VCO. What you hear here is just one VCO. Two tracks were recorded one with the low notes and another one with the main melody."

AmpliTube Apps Add Audiobus Support for iPhone, iPad & iPod touch

"IK Multimedia AmpliTube Apps Add Audiobus Support for iPhone, iPad & iPod touch.

Use AmpliTube with other iPhone, iPad and iPod touch audio apps in real time

Modena, Italy – March 15, 2013 – IK Multimedia announced today that AmpliTube, the leading guitar/bass multi-FX and recording app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, is now Audiobus compatible. Audiobus is a groundbreaking new app (developed by A Tasty Pixel in cooperation with Audanika) that allows users to connect the audio of up to 3 apps, opening up countless new sonic possibilities.

For example Audiobus lets users send audio out of one app, filter it through the next one in the chain, and receive it in the third. A synth could be looped by a looper and its output sent to a recorder; or an electric piano could be run through a guitar multi-FX app and then into a sampler — all in real time.

AmpliTube is an excellent choice for any of the three slots in the Audiobus chain, thanks to its versatile feature set that includes amp-and-effects modeling, Loop Drummer (an integrated drum module), and a multitrack recorder.

Audiobus support is included in all versions and levels of AmpliTube version 2.9.5; including AmpliTube, AmpliTube LE and AmpliTube FREE for iPhone and iPod touch; and the full and free versions of AmpliTube for iPad.

There are currently over 60 apps supporting Audiobus from premium music app manufacturers like Korg®, Steinberg®, Moog®, Propellerhead® and many others, covering the widest range of music applications including synths and instruments, multitrack recorders and studios, real-time effects and loopers and many more. For a complete list please visit http://audiob.us/apps.

To enable this new feature and have AmpliTube work with other compatible Audiobus apps, users must install the Audiobus app (which must be purchased separately on the App Store) on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

IK offers multiple options for plugging guitars, basses and other electric instruments into an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, for use with AmpliTube, Audiobus, and other compatible music apps. These include iRig, the most popular guitar/bass input adapter of all time; iRig HD, the new high-definition interface; and iRig STOMP, the first stompbox-style iPhone, iPad and iPod touch interface.

Pricing and Availability:
AmpliTube with the new Audiobus feature is a free upgrade for existing AmpliTube owners. Audiobus sells separately on the App Store for only $9.99. For new users, the full version of AmpliTube is available for $19.99 from the App Store. A free version is also available for both iPhone and iPad.

The Dubreq Stylophone S2- Part 2

Published on Mar 15, 2013 AutomaticGainsay·149 videos

"Here is a preview of some of the sound and functionality of the Dubreq Stylophone S2. A full demo, wherein all functionality and sound is demonstrated is forthcoming.

The device in this demo is a prototype, and not all of the functionality is functional yet. In addition to this, the S2 has a stylish interface which doesn't indicate exactly what each setting is. The manual had not been written at the time of my receipt of this device, so functionality is not all specifically outlined. But again, a full demonstration of the functionality of the S2 will occur in the future. Thanks!"
