Virus Indigo Arps

Published on Nov 4, 2017 100 Things I Do

"I picked up the Virus Indio a few years ago for the sum of $600! In Australia when this synth was released it sold for around $4,000. I used to dream of owning one in a time where my studio consisted of Roland and E-MU Romplers, Juno 106, SH101 and a AKAI S1000. For a very short time I managed to own a Access Virus B, the same synth but not looking 1/2 as cool!

It surprises me how synths that were once the unaffordable envy of most people drop in price to become very affordable. At least for a time. Its not that they sound less awesome than they did, maybe we all get so hung up on NOW and whats just been released that we miss the gems that are available for a fraction of the price they once cost. You can still get Access Synths very cheap compared to original list price. Even the first of the TI's is now within reach of most people... lets not talk about its USB Latency is all :D"

Fragment Synthesizer - Various sounds additive / granular

Published on Nov 4, 2017 Fragment Synthesizer

"Fragment is a collaborative additive / spectral / granular live-coding web. platform, the spectrum is created by a live GPU script, the generated visual is then converted to audio by an additive or granular process.

Fragment is able to produce high-quality fast additive and granular synthesis simultaneously with re-synthesis support, it has many features making it a bliss to produce any kind of sounds or visuals.

This is a demonstration video of a multitude of sounds created within Fragment, mostly additive synthesis (90% of them) but some parts are granular, this also demonstrate granular re-synthesis @6:54 with more than 400 layered grains and vocoder effects @3:11, some parts (the beginning) use distributed synthesis mode and are able to play more than 1200 simultaneous partials on a i7 CPU with 4 synthesis server.

Small amount of reverb/delay effect added inside Renoise DAW, low-pass filters are used on granular sounds because Fragment play the grains sample as-is, MIDI sequences are coming from Renoise.

You can try the Fragment synthesizer now at : https://www.fsynth.com

Patchblocks Minijam Studio - First noodle jam

Published on Nov 4, 2017 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"Yay, today I got my Patchblocks Minijam Studio!!!!

This was the first noodle jam with it :-) Sorry for the blur video take, somehow my camera doesn't like close takes. But I was too lazy to re-record just because of the camera. So, please focus just on the sound and not the video quality ;-)

The song was recorded in two separate parts, the synth and the drums. The synth part was recorded with some ambient reverb from the Sony DPS-V55M and a slight delay from the DigiTech Obscura. The drums were recorded clean without any effects. The final song had some slight compression and limiting to adjust the loudness."

DIY Project #8: Minty Synth 2.0

Published on Nov 4, 2017 poorness studios

"The Minty Synth is a tiny Arduino-bases synthesizer built inside of a mint tin. It's very powerful for how simple it is to build. You can buy one here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2648"

"The MintySynth kit - 2.0 is a great way to make your next musical creation while experimenting with electronics and programming. Open source and hackable, the MintySynth is an Arduino-compatible synth kit that fits in an Altoids tin.

This comes as an unassembled kit so some soldering is required - but the assembly itself is fairly straightforward and the software comes preloaded so creating your next project should be a breeze! The included software is a 4 voice, 16 step wavetable sequencer that let's you play around with different intruments while controlling the tempo, swing, keys and scale. You can save up to four 16 note songs, relooping them over and over or reload each individually. If you do want to program the Synth yourself, you'll need an FTDI Cable since there's no onboard USB."

And via MintySynth.com:

"MintySynth is an Arduino-compatible synthesizer/sequencer/audio experiment kit that fits neatly in an Altoids® tin. It is intended to be an educational tool as well as a fun toy, and is a great way to learn about electronics, programming, and music. It’s open source and hackable! Soldering is required, but assembly is straightforward and generally takes one to two hours. You supply the Altoids® tin. You can either assemble the kit and use it with the preloaded synth software, or you can program it yourself as you would an Arduino...

Prophet '08 Bi-Timbral Soft Ethereal Pad

Published on Nov 4, 2017 Sacred Synthesis

"During this past summer in which I was blessed enough to borrow a DSI Prophet 12 synthesizer, I worked on creating a patch that was an imitation of a sound I had created on my Prophet '08 Keyboard-Module pair. It was a bi-timbral sound consisting of a soft flute coupled with a bright sparkly pair of tones in the upper register. The proper organ term would be "mixtures". While I was designing the patch on the Prophet 12, as is often the case, I took a bit of a turn and starting developing a variation on the original sound. Simply, I added random filter modulation to the mixtures and smoothed out the edges with a bit of Lag.

Now that I'm back working with my Prophet '08 pair, I decided to go full circle and see if I could re-create the Prophet 12 patch on the Prophet '08. This improvisation is the result. It's virtually the same sound, minus the smoothed edges on the Sample and Hold, since the Prophet '08 lacks the lag feature. As with the original Prophet 12 piece, the mixtures are slowly merged in during the middle of the improvisation.

I added a few melodies with a reed-like patch on the other Prophet '08, just to break up the monotony. This Improvisation is only an excuse to demonstrate the Prophet '08's version of the bi-timbral soft ethereal pad.

Instrumentation:
DSI Prophet '08 Keyboard (2)
DSI Prophet '08 Module

Bass:
DSI Evolver Desktop
Hammond XPK 200L Pedalboard

Effects:
Lexicon MX300
Alesis Nanoverb 2

DinSync Announces New Gilbert CV/Gate Voice DIY Project

via the re303 forum:

"Gilbert is a new DIY project I'm working on, and will eventually be available in the re303 shop as a full kit.

The first prototype has been made and is working. The idea here is a small cv/gate voice you can build and use with your re303 (or any other cv/gate sequencer of course)

The architecture is inspired largely by the mc202, sh101 and sh09. So it sounds somewhat like all of them. Anyway soon i'll be making the next prototype version and maybe after that I'll have a good idea of the release times.

meantime check the instragram posts here in the forum for previews of the prototype"

Waterflower // Live @ Erica Synths Garage

Published on Nov 4, 2017 Erica Synths

"Waterflower performs live with vocals, using a Roland VT-3 voice transformer and a Boss RC-505 loopstation with pre-composed samples (ikaossilator, field recordings, CC0 found samples and MIDI), playing a Korg Microsampler keyboard with custom samples; 2x Dentaku Ototo capactive synthesizers connected to a plant as a keyboard; Korg Volca Keys; Crystal acrylic electric violin; Firestix Drumsticks.

'Waterflower ' is artist Sabine Moore’s audiovisual performance project. Sabine Moore’s intertwined music and visual presence is an audiovisual journey into a unique world where sound and moving image have come together like an orchestral ensemble. Musically, Waterflower draws upon genres like Electronica, Experimental Pop and Ambient. Her multi-layered compositions are created from sampled sounds like toy beeps, running water, glass beads, gardening tools, and are then mixed with synthesizers, orchestral sounds - like the violin, ghostly piano melodies and her sublime vocals. On stage, a live potted plant is transformed into a touch-sensitive synthesizer using capacitive sensors. A similar technique also allows a separate plant to also act as a real-time midi controller for the artist’s visuals. The video animations display themes such as nature, science and the interaction of the two. One could say that “Waterflower” is like a sci-fi journey to a world outside of our time-line."

If using mixer to amplify the sounds separately it can be amplified well.

All control functions are works perfectly.

Synthesis functions are appears to works well to my knowledge but maybe there are small things what I didn't recognized as issue.
