About the Chameleon System

The Chameleon System consists of a hardware module, a Chameleon, that can be flashed with software files to decide its functionality.

There are two types of Chameleons:

* CHAMELEON.SONIC MODULES
This is a module equipped with a MCU as well as an audio shield. This module is for files that handles audio input or output, such as oscillators, filters etc. So far I've written these files:

• PANTHER Digital Synthesizer Module.
• NAMAQUA Four Oscillator Module.
• TIGRIS Stereo Filter Level Shaper.

SPECIFICATIONS:
ARM Cortex-M4@180MHz, 2-channel audio I/O, 3xC11D I/O, 3xGate I/O, TFT 2.2"-screen, Four potentiometers, One rotary encoder.

* CHAMELEON.SIGNAL MODULES
This is a module equipped with just a MCU. This module is for files that handle data manipulation, LFOs, envelopes etc. So far I've written these files:

• NAMIBIA MIDI Input/Output and Data Randomizer.
• JACKSON Quad Function Generator.

SPECIFICATIONS:
ARM Cortex-M4@180MHz, 4xC11D I/O, 4xGate I/O, TFT 2.2"-screen, Four potentiometers, One rotary encoder.

POWER DISTRIBUTION
Power is supplied to a Chameleon connected to power via its USB-port.

DATA COMMUNICATION
The Chameleons communicate with each other using standard 3.5mm cables sending and receiving 11-bit data. I call this technique C11D or Controlled 11-bit Data as a digital equivalent to CV, Controlled Voltage. Values between 0 and 2048 are sent and received. A unipolar parameter subtracts 1024 from the incoming value making it possible to modulate between -1024 and 1024.

PERFORMANCE CONTROLLERS
The four analog potentiometers on each module work as controllers for real-time control of key parameters.

PCB DIMENSIONS 100x100mm."

via this auction

"The Polivoks (also occasionally referred to as the Polyvox; Russian: Поливокс) is a duophonic, analog synthesizer manufactured and marketed in the Soviet Union between 1982 and 1990. It is arguably the most popular and well-known Soviet synthesizer in the West, likely due to the uniqueness of both its appearance and sound.

The Polivoks was designed at the Urals Vector plant, but actual production was handled at the Formanta Radio Factory in Kachkanar, Russian SFSR. It was intended to appear and sound similar to American and Japanese synthesizers from companies such as Roland, Moog, and Korg. The Polivoks was engineered by circuit designer Vladimir Kuzmin with the appearance of the instrument influenced by his wife Olimpiada,[2] who took inspiration from the design of Soviet military radios. Its retail price upon release was 920 rubles and over its lifetime around 100,000 Polivoks were manufactured - sometimes with a production rate of up to 1,000 units a month. But accordingly to information shared by Vladimir Kuzmin only 200-300 Polvokses were produced per month. It means that total number cannot be more than 32000.

"A floaty generative ambient patch, with tentacles! The NLC Squid Axon module replicates and mutates melodies using nonlinear feedback, rhythms are varied with Euclidean clocks, while Pressure Points + Brains is clocked extremely slowly to bring in different 'movements' with varying balance between voices. The voices themselves are mostly wavetable VCOs, with analogue filtering and a lot of reverb and long delays."

Crank Sturgeon Contact Mic Tutorial


Published on Nov 6, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"What is a contact mic? What is a transducer? Can packing tape replace a violin or a cello? Is your neglected Slinky a dormant laser factory? Crank Sturgeon answers all of these questions and more, providing colorful insight into his own music making practice and the instruments he produces.

Crank Sturgeon's instruments are all based around lo-fi transducers: devices that convert acoustic energy into electrical energy. By creating general-purpose devices for amplifying all sorts of sounds, everyday objects suddenly take on entirely new musical meaning: rubber bands, spoons, string, and all manner of appliances suddenly produce sound that could bring new character to your own music...or take it over entirely.

The Cat by Octave - Vintage Analog Synthesizer - Duophonic Mode Demo - No Talking


Published on Nov 6, 2019 Earmonkey Music

"This is my Cat. One of my favorite synths ever. This is the non SRM version, built in 1976. The Cat has a duophonic mode where VCO 1 will play the higher note, and VCO 2 the lower. In this video I kind of take the Cat through some interesting modulations. You can route two different sources to modulate things like pitch, filter cutoff, etc.. There's an ADSR and an AR envelope. The ADSR can be set to be a repeating envelope as well. In this patch I have the VCA being controlled by the AR envelope, and the filter being modulated by a repeating ADSR envelope, and also the LFO. You can switch LFO modulation from a triangle wave, or a square wave, or S&H. Later in the video I switch from the ADSR controlling filter to VCO 1 controlling filter for some audio rate modulation of the filter which really dirties things up. II am using a bit of Valhalla reverb and delay as well. The Cat can really growl and I love it. Enjoy!"

Engine synthesizer : MOTORS STAGE 2 ! From VR6 to old Flat 4.


Published on Nov 6, 2019 Theo GRAND

"Motors has evolved with interactive EQs, camshaft + rolls generator, a ruptor, and stil the good old fashioned Reaktor interface. Here's a sample of classic engine types it can make. Feel free to comment."

Reminds me of the Rotors on the John Bowen Solaris, or the mechanical Motor Synth from Gamechanger Audio. All different of course.

Two more:



"We can hear the different harmonics made by a combustion engine running at the same rpm (approx. B♭), but with an increasing number of cylinders.
Actually, the fundamental is multiplied, which gives a harmonic suite, making intervals."

"This a Reaktor based synthesizer made to reproduce the sound of an engine with different cylinder configurations. Here we can hear the same engine switching from 4 to 12 cynlinders. The starter is a sample played."

UVI Introduces the PX P10 Based on the Sequential Circuits Prophet-10


Published on Nov 6, 2019 UVI

"PX P10 - Analog Prophecy 2x5=10

A new instrument in our Prototype Series, PX P10 delivers the timeless analog sounds of an ultra-rare dual-keybed monster synthesizer. Tremendous warmth awaits, including the true hardware analog unison!

Video Credits: Matt Vanacoro"


via UVI

By far one of the sweetest sounding and most influential analog synths we've had the privilege to work with, an iconic and powerful instrument whose lineage helped shape the sound of music and music for film throughout the '80s and beyond. Developed as the first fully-programmable polyphonic synthesizer with preset storage, this version 10 was the original prototype of what would become the mythical version 5, debuting in 1978 and revolutionizing the synthesizer world. It was only 3 years later, in 1981, that the more complex version 10 would see commercial release.

Essentially two version 5 synths rolled into one dual-keybed monster synthesizer, version 10 sported 2 oscillators, a white noise source, and a resonant low-pass filter per-voice. Depending on mode it could function as two discrete 5-voice keyboards, a single 10-voice keyboard, a single 5-voice 4-VCO "doubled" mode allowing sweet stacked unison sounds, or an alternate mode where subsequent notes would switch between the settings of the two 5-voice keyboards.
Few of these giants were produced, and due to their sheer size and complexity very few remain. A truly iconic instrument from aesthetics and features to sound quality, this synth is a gem with a timeless sound and lasting legacy.

Given the history of this renowned series and particular gravity of this version 10 we spared no expense in the creation of PX P10. The refurbishment was the most difficult and time consuming we've undertaken, but resulted in a perfectly functional instrument with a gorgeous sound that translates directly through to the final presets.
From vintage-styled to contemporary, we designed a huge selection of sounds capturing vibes from '80s classics, modern genre, soundtracks and more. Everything was extensively multisampled including the raw waveforms both with and without unison allowing you to enable genuine hardware 4-VCO stacking on any sound in the library - and unlike the hardware, these can all be played polyphonically, limited only by your computer.

As with the original, you can load two programs at once, and with the unison mode engaged you can create truly massive analog sounds without consideration for a 5 or 10-voice ceiling. Explore the premade sounds or create your own by mixing and matching layers, adjusting amp, filter, panning, effect settings, and utilizing per-layer arpeggiators and modulators.

In the end we recorded over 30,000 samples, packing PX P10 with a whopping 309 presets made from 188 layers, divided into 15 categories including bass, leads, strings, polysynth, ... Each of the sounds is fully customizable and can be used straight-away or as the starting point for your own sound design. Raw waveforms are also available for those who want to build up their own sounds from scratch."

Chaos Culture - Modulat Teaser Trailer - Max For Live Toolkit - Ableton Live - Signal


Published on Nov 6, 2019 Isotonik Studios

"Modulat is a MaxforLive Toolkit of prebuilt modules that you can use to effect parameters, output audio and generally be awesome. Spawn a module from the menu and connect it up using patch cords, this is MaxforLive without the coding! PLEASE NOTE: MaxforLive 8.0.2 is Essential for Use!

Formerly known as Signal, Modulat is a toolbox of modules that can be connected together to create or modify signals from Ableton Live, transform and output them as Audio or control for parameters. Begin by spawning modules from the menu and then connect them with patch cords by clicking on each modules inputs (left) and outputs (right). You can click on any output to monitor its signal within the scope and all modules run at audio rate. Use the Audio In & Out Modules to exchange signals between devices or to send & receive control voltage.

Modulat is a node based / modular playground for control signals such as LFOs, envelopes and automations. Most Max for Live control devices have a lot of issues and limit the possibilities by completely taking over the control of a parameter in Live. Signal uses audio signals for all its calculations and lets you route them however you want giving you a lot more options while keeping the highest quality possible along with staying sample accurate.

Additionally it eliminates chain mapping, where you would use an LFO on another one. Since every mapping in Live introduces a delay as well as CPU usage, chain mapping is not useful at all. With Modulat you only need one mapping to make everything possible. You can always add another signal and keep expanding the setup. Especially by using multiple instances you can use Lives own routing to mix control signals, record them and play them back in any way using the session view, the Looper device or simply by triggering them using Simpler/Sampler.

Additionally Modulat is the only device on the market that provides a workaround to control parameters in sync with Live by compensating for the delay. You can find out more about this workaround on page 10 of the user guide linked below.

The modules in Modulat are versatile, you don’t need a lot of them to create something useful. With a lot of additional features that haven’t been done before, bypassing mapped parameters for example, Signal is the ultimate control device.

With the flexibility Modulat becomes a meta language, you can basically create your own control devices exactly how you like it without actually having to program them in Max. Signal takes away all the work of getting the basics to work and leaves you only with the decision making.

Ambient with Medusa-Polyend /sequencer Random mode in chromatic scale


Published on Nov 6, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Hello guys.

Today I have my first movie with the synthesizer Medusa from Polyend.

Now Medusa is at a discounted price, so is also a great opportunity to get yours.!!!

It's a Hybrid Synthesizer with 3 analog oscillators, 3 digital oscillators, 5 loopable envelope and 5 assignable LFOs plus of course a great multi mode filter.

the advantage of course is grid as a sequencer and its touch control, under the pressure of X, Y, Z you can assign modhell or pitch ,lfo's and many other functions.

Here I showed the sound itself in quite ambient music, I set the sequencer to random which it scales on a chromatic scale.

Add effects Reverb from Black Hole DSP from Erica Synths and Euro DDL Delay from Eventide .

more info about medusa here :http://polyend.com
but now I invite you to check this movie.
have a nice day!
