Xplorer - Oberheim Matrix-12/Xpander Editor Now Free

Available here

"An editor for the Oberheim Xpander and Matrix-12 synthesizers. That works.
Xplorer is a real-time and bi-directional software editor for the Oberheim Matrix-12 and Xpander synthesizers.

Xplorer is not just another generic synthesizer editor with ranges of slider controls that are all the same and don’t really tell you what you are doing.
Xplorer was developed by an Xpander owner for use by Xpander and Matrix-12 owners. With Xplorer you quickly get an overview of all parameters of a single patch, including an overview of the Modulation Matrix.

With Xplorer you can tweak the sound simultaneously using a computer mouse, a hardware MIDI controller, your DAW software, or directly on your Xpander or Matrix-12. Use the method you prefer to change the sound. Xplorer’s display shows you in real-time which parameter is currently being modified.

“Real-time and bi-directional” means that every change you make in Xplorer is reflected into the synthesizer memory with minimal latency, and vice-versa. Whether you change the sound parameters on the synthesizer, in Xplorer, or with a MIDI controller, the software and the synthesizer will simultaneously update the parameters of the sound, without needing to reload the patch into the synthesizer memory.

The main features of Xplorer are:

Single patch tone file load/save on disk
Extract single patches from an “all data data dump” SysEx file into a given folder
Get all single patches from synthesizer into a given folder.
All data dump request backup and restore (save and restore synthesizer whole memory to/from a sysex file)
Modification of the 226 parameters of a single patch
Real-time MIDI automation for all parameters with freely assignable control changes, even for filter modes (except Modulation Matrix)
Copy/paste page for TRACK, ENV, LFO, and RAMP pages (e.g., you can copy all ENV1 page parameters and paste them to ENV3)
Rename patch, go to patch, store patch, save patch to disk
Real-time update of all parameters when the user tweaks the synthesizer knobs (dual editing can be done without needing to reload the patch and resynchronize the synthesizer and the PC as most editors need to do)
Patch randomizer (generates a new patch from random values)
Auto-sized user interface depending on system’s default font size
…and more to come in the next releases."

"All the knobs and keys perform their intended functions, with a few knobs having some minor issues. The 1st oscillator knob has been broken off at some point (see photo), but is still turnable and works as it should. The cutoff frequency knob also has some issues as it seems to be a bit scratchy as well as having certain spots that cause the sound to cut out when rotating it. With a little effort, you can still get all the normal functionality out of it, but that pot may need to be replaced at some point if you want it to work perfectly. Other knobs may have had some of their values drift due to age and use, however we cannot be sure."

"Erica Synths Acidbox III brings you the core of the famous Polivoks VCF in stereo version with unique audio signal overdrive circuit, built in LFO and envelope follower in a compact, full aluminium case.

The Acidbox III has adjustable input gain, therefore it works with various sound sources – guitars, units with line level signals (synthesizers, grooveboxes, etc.) and modular synths. Configurable control input allows to connect a bypass footswitch, expression pedal, external cutoff control voltage source and LFO synchronization trigger. This makes the Acidbox an ideal companion in almost every production or live performance setup.

Features:
▪ Polivoks core stereo lowpass/bandpass VCF with the original programmable opamps
▪ Uniqueaudiooverdrivecircuit
▪ Versatile syncable LFO with 8 waveforms
▪ Tap tempo button
▪ Envelope follower with modulation level attenuverter

"The Erica Synths Pico Mask is an advanced random CV module that samples and holds CV within a user-defined mask – the area between two incoming CV signals; this means that you have certain control over randomness. The Pico Mask can play a key role in self-generating music, random patches, work as CV processor, waveshaper and bitcrusher."

Korg Volca FM Synth Demo Jam

Published on Nov 22, 2017 Boredbrain Music

"Here's a techno jam from Boredbrain featuring the Korg Volca FM digital synthesizer and Roland TR-606 vintage analog drum machine. Effects used are Moog Minifooger MF-Delay and Korg Monotron Delay. The Volca is tempo synced to the 606 via the tom trigger output.

The jam starts with a chain of sequences using a bell-type tone getting slightly modulated with the Velocity slider and LFO for vibrato. The middle section is a chain of sequences using a classic FM bass sound and Arpeggiator. The Velocity slider and Carrier Decay are getting tweaked heavily creating a wide range of tones.

Recorded live outside on location on a cold night overlooking downtown Richmond VA from Church Hill."

Spectral Arpeggiator: PC - MidiBox CV - Matrix Analog Synth

Published on Nov 22, 2017 Sbranvlztronics

"Simple patch presenting a 'Spectral Arpeggiator'.

In this video a PC running a MIDI sequencer sends data to a MidiBox CV converter, which then controls the Matrix synthesizer patch.

The master Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) determines the fundamental frequency, and the synced slave VCO is sweept for harmonics using very short notes. The slave VCO triangle output is sent to the Voltage Controlled Phaser, VCA and finnaly to the Voltage Controlled Delay. The wet/dry mix of the CV Delay is controled by midi velocity, CV Phaser cutoff freq. by a local LFO. Tweaking the ADSR potentiometers create some nice variation in the textures.

Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching.

Published on Aug 28, 2016

"My first presentable version of a wave terrain synthesizer. The concept of a wave table is extended to another dimension. The table is read at position XY, returning the depth of the terrain.

In this version, the table is read with various lissajous figures (and with two-dimensional perlin noise near the end). The terrains are generated with various equations including chebyshev polynomials. Terrain A can be interpolated with terrain B.

The terrain readers are in harmonic series. Further development will include more interesting approaches for the behavior of terrain reading. Dynamic terrain modulation will also be explored.

"Some time's passed since I covered a Daft punk track. I had the idea while playing with SE-02 built-in sequencer and suddenly the song came by itself!
Everything is played in real time! No overdubs.
I made some variations compared to the original song, I hope you like it.

Xaoc Tallin Dual Discrete Core VCA

Published on Nov 22, 2017 Xaoc Devices

"Tallin is a dual voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) with overdrive, offering some unusual control features and a range of attractive tonal characteristics. Each of the two identical channels offers two simultaneously available inputs for voltage control over signal attenuation or gain, with linear and exponential response to CV. Volume control knobs offer manual gain settings ranging from fully closed (-80dB) up to +18dB. A color LED indicator displays output signal levels. A soft-clip circuit avoids harsh clipping distortion, while a switchable overdrive circuit offers two carefully crafted distortion responses, simulating the sound of classic tube amplifiers. Since both CV inputs are simultaneously active, they can be jointly exploited within patches featuring more complex volume control that otherwise would require using two traditional VCAs in series. As the signal path is DC-coupled, Tallin can also be used for handling the control voltages."
