Via Peter Grenader on the Plan B list back on 9/10:
"The following link is a soundbite of the Model 16 prototype currently in it's final stages prior to release.
This sample consists of two VCOs, slightly detuned at octaves that DO NOT CHANGE PITCH. I'm using the VC sweep function in Bandpass mode and stepping through four(of 12) filter outputs, then slowly increasing the resonance from full CCW to full CW, roughly giving the effect of a crossfade from a standard fixed filter bank to a vocorder."
Update via Peter in the comments:
"Well, I hope you guys don't think this is the coolest effect going, becauuse I've yanked the voltage control of this feature off the final version. It'll stil go from low res (one filter) to high res(two filters in series) for each of the 12 in the matrix, and you will still be able to select a mixture betwen the two...but not via VC, only with a pot.
The circuitry required to do this correctly vs. the net effect itself, to my taste, iwas not singing together. It would easily add another $20 to the bottom line
So we lost this VC, but we gained two other very cool features, so I don't feel guilty about nixing the VC here.
We've added a STEP PULSE out, which returns a timing pulse every time the SWEEP function goes fro9m one filter to another...and..we added a soft/hard select switch to that as well, which gives you either hard step between the filters with the sweep function, or a softer fading from one to another. And the sweep did retain it's VC, so I think it's all good.
In any event, the other two sound samples on the EAR site for the M16 are more interesting. Have a listen.

More MP3's, dammit!
ReplyDeletedoes that mean you *want* more mp3's or you're upset that the file provided is an mp3???????
ReplyDeleteIf it was the latter, I would have said "More MP3's? Are you too cheap to let WAV's eat up your bandwith or something?"
