Miselu C.24 Kickstarter Campaign Hits Goal

via Miselu

"Hi everyone

This is really amazing! In less than a week we reached our campaign goal. We are thrilled about your support.

The campaign is still going strong with 20 days to go and there are even units left at $99. Visit our Kickstarter page for details:

www.miselu.com/kickstarter

We also had some rather positive press since the launch.

"This is arguably the most innovative thing to happen to compact keyboard actions in years," says Time Magazine.

Engadget, Mashable, USA Today and Nikkei, among others, have also weighed in quite favorably.

We are currently working on a series of videos that show the C.24 in action and will publish them in the next couple of weeks.

Again, thanks to everyone for pledging and supporting us.

Vintage Rare Steiner Parker Synthacon Silverface Analog Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Update: check out demos of a Synthacon here, here, here, and here.

"Up for auction is this super rare circa 1975 Steiner Parker Synthacon. This is the earlier, silverface, monophonic version of this legendary synth that you'd be lucky to see for sale once a year. One of the few synths that truly deserves the title of "rare". I was able to create some jaw dropping sounds and I know I haven't even scratched the surface of what this synth can do.

The Synthacon is a 3 oscillator fully analog synthesizer. To the unfamiliar eye it looks a lot like the control panel for an aircraft. But this is one powerful synth that is capable of producing sounds a Minimoog would only dream of.

Each oscillator can be modulated in a variety of ways, including LFO, EG1, EG2, VCF, and sample-and-hold. It also has a pink and white noise generator. This synth is also known for having one of the best filters ever designed - it is super crunchy and the modulation routing is top notch. You can of course, get polyphonic sounds by blending the oscillators like most analog synths.

This synth has 49 keys w/ controls for Tune, Scale, Portamento, Range Select (8 octave range), and pitch bend.

You also have your other basic controls for attack, decay, sustain, and release, trigger rate, and sample and hold level."

The Shbobo Shnth - a New Brand and Synth by Ciat-Lonbarde's Peter Blasser

shnth 'horse organ"

Published on Jul 15, 2013 soundofcode·2 videos

Update: The Shbobo shnth is latest instrument design from Peter Blasser of ciat-lonbarde.  Shbobo is a new brand from Peter Blasser that will showcase his digital creations.

"A little explanation of this patch: it uses the four bars to trigger four horses (asymmetric triangle-wave oscillators). since each horse has 4 parameters that can be dynamically modulated, the 4 yellow buttons are used to switch these modulations on and off. the modulations are:

a) FM the uprate of this oscillator by the previous oscillator; control the amt of modulation w/ the left antenna
b) modulate the down rate of this oscillator by itself on the press of its bar
c) modulate the upper bound of the oscillator by the next oscillator; control the amount of modulation with the right antenna
d) modulate the lower bound of this oscillator by the oscillator two over on release of its bar

the white buttons are used to retune the pitches of the oscillators ala the analog scrolls of the sidrassi, but that wasn't used here. video credit to my daughter marina!"

shnth-bending

Published on Apr 5, 2013

"using corp to bend sounds in the shnth

www.shbobo.net"

"The Shnth, by Shbobo, is a computer music device that features the ARM Cortex M3 32 bit processor. It connects to host computer via USB, wherein the host computer (windows, linux, or macintosh) may read its "squish data" and create graphics and sound. Or, the Shnth itself is a standalone synthesizer, which may be programmed by host in the new language, "Shlisp", by Shbobo. It is potentially self powered, by batteries, which are charged, again, via USB. A switch turns it on, and 16 bit sound comes out a standard stereo 3.5mm jack. Like a laptop; it is "handtop". Four bars on top feel your fingers and two woven antennae below sense flesh, complimented by a battery of buttons. There are red lights."

My apologies for the clipping in the first selection - audio was recorded from the headphone output into the stereo mic jack of my Canon T3i and you've got to have all the setting set real low. Hope you all enjoy and I'll follow up later with more Solaris vids showing all the different oscillator and filter types. So that means 'SUBSCRIBE!'"

One main oscillator (VCO) with selectable wave type (saw, square, noise and sine) and scalable within the range of -1 and +1 octaves.
Two low frequency oscillators (LFO) with selectable wave type (saw, square, noise and sine) and selectable frequency/rate and depth. LFO1 modulates VCO1 frequency while LFO2 modulates VCF cutoff frequency. LFO’s synchronise to MIDI/sequencer tempo at 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 notes.
One VCA with fully customizable ADSR(A) envelope.

Boxed Ear OSCar Kontakt Sample Pack Released

"Boxed Ear is proud to present OSCar Kontakt Sample pack.

Boxed Ear has announced the release of OSCar, a new library for Kontakt 4 and 5 made entirely with the OSC OSCar synthesizer.

Released in 1983 by the Oxford Synthesizer Company, the OSCar was a unique combination of analog and digital. The oscillators are a digital design with the capability of being able to build waveforms using additive synthesis. These feed into an analogue multi-mode filter design which was inspired by the Minimoog trick of looping the synths output back into the filter's input to overdrive the filter circuits, resulting in a characteristically crunchy sound.

Included in the pack are 119 Kontakt instruments which cover a wide range of synth sounds, both monophonic and polyphonic: tough basses, gorgeous evolving pads, complex leads and a host of other synth sounds all stamped with the OSCar’s unique sound.
Details:
1.1Gb soundset
Over 2300 samples at 24-bit, 44.1 kHz quality
119 Kontakt instruments

Availability and pricing
OSCar costs USD $49, EUR €39 or GBP £30 inc.VAT and is available now from the Boxed Ear website.

Full version of Kontakt 4 or 5 is required. OSCar does NOT work with the free Kontakt Player."
