Ghost in Translation 16 Inputs 16 Ouputs Teensy Eurorack

video upload by Ghost In Translation

"Using multiplexers for the inputs, the 2 ADCs of Teensy 4.0, shift registers for the outputs, I am able to sample 16 analog inputs at 44.1kHz each, and output 16 sigma-delta digital signals that can be filtered to produce analog signals up to 50Hz.

I am confident I can improve frequency and resolution of the outputs just with software, and will work on that later. For now this is enough for gates, triggers, CVs and LEDs.

This board is my platform for Eurorack modules, Motherboard 2. Everything will be available and documented on GitHub when I finalize a few more things.

#jamuary2024 03 Plantwave & JD-08 in F# PentMin

video upload by SynthAddict

"From last night, fell asleep before uploading...

-Plantwave with iOS app (Bluetooth), preset set for F# PentMin
-Roland Boutique JD-08
-Irijule Theoryboard set for F# PentMin
-Korg MiniKP
-Edirol M-10MX

Plantwave connected to a sprig of St. John's Wort in medium light. I tried to modulate the plant response with red and white lights (to stimulate photosynthesis further) - not much reaction this time.

See my older video on Plantwave where I demo white, red, and UV pocket lights to change the plant response and the synth modulation follows - sort of like a biological D-beam control. :-) [posted here]

I think the Plantwave app preset wasn't set to modulate the sounds the same way my Roland MC-101 was in the older video. Next time I will do a demo of Plantwave connected via MIDI to a hardware synth."

Fully Recreate the Legendary Sound of the World's First 16-bit Video Game Console from the Late '80s

You too must have fallen under the spell of the extraordinary visuals and sounds of the groundbreaking 16-bit video game console that once dominated the world! It was powered by the iconic YM2612 sound chip, a legacy that endures even today.

The MEGA SYNTHESIS has resurrected the sound engine of this chip. We've faithfully recreated the 4-operator & 8-algorithm FM sound module, the 8-bit PCM sound module, and the "SN76489" PSG (Programmable Sound Generator) sound module used by the original console.

This cover song series contains my own reinterpretations of my favourite and for me most influential songs from the last 50 years.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.

Behringer TD-3, TD-3-MO, MIDI: 303 Techno Patterns/Sequences

video upload by Anton Anru

"'Techno Planet' is a collection of 64 patterns for Behringer TD-3 and TD-3-MO (Modded Out). It's suitable for Techno and its sub-genres/styles: Acid, Deep, Dub, Minimal, Hard, and others.

💿 Behringer TD-3/TD-3-MO - Techno Planet (64 Patterns): https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/td-3...
📀 Same patterns in MIDI format - Techno Planet (64 Patterns): https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/midi...

A has fewer notes and articulations, it's good to start with it, while B is a much more energetic and expressive variant of A. This organization gives an opportunity to develop your bass line from "soft" to "expressive" (or vice versa) just in one click. And, of course, you may do any changes in sequences while performing or jamming.

The sequences are done in C Major/Minor scale, but of course, you may transpose them to any note.

For loading the sequences to your TD-3 use the latest version of SynthTribe app. It’s available on the official Behringer website – TD-3 page – Downloads.
SynthTribe version should be 2.5.7 or higher if you use TD-3-MO.

"Excellent used condition, includes original packaging, power supply and rack ear kit.

XERXES delivers an unmatchable level of warmth through its two digitally controlled analog oscillators. A multimode analog filter, white and pink noise generator, 2 ADSR envelopes, 2 sync-able LFOs, unique analog BBD chorus with 3 modes, full MPE-based polyphonic aftertouch, and complete MIDI control including polyphonic aftertouch and MPE work together to bring a classic analog sound ready to integrate into modern times. MK2 features an updated VCA section, and balanced outputs.

Xerxes produces triangle, saw, square, and PWM waveforms with variable drift controls from each oscillator, sync with variable phase shifting, and ring modulation allowing for complex cross-modulation effects. Each oscillator features an octave switch, bipolar transpose potentiometer +/-7 semitones, a master tuning pot affecting both oscillators, and a detune knob for subtly detuning Oscillator 2 to Oscillator 1. Portamento/Glissando or Glide can be programmed to affect Oscillator 1, 2, or both.

The analog multimode filter on XERXES offers 24db/oct low pass, 12db/oct high pass modes and a band pass filter mode switchable between 6db/oct & 12db/oct for all kinds of filter characteristics. The filter can also be modulated by the dedicated ADSR envelope, LFO, velocity, and aftertouch (MPE and Polyphonic Aftertouch) allowing for incredibly expressive performance and programming.

XERXES features 6 LFO waveforms: Sine, triangle, saw, ramp, square, and random, plus a dedicated delay control to fade the LFO to the full amount set by the depth knob. Two LFOs are selectable with an A/B switch, each of which can be used to control multiple parameters set by the button switches to control oscillator tuning (A/B/Both) filter cutoff, and amplifier levels (VCF/VCA/Both.) Each of these LFOs also includes a Sync on/off switch.

XERXES features a beautiful, fully-analogue BBD-based chorus with 3 selectable modes, similar to the chorus effect found on the vintage Elka Synthex synthesizer. XERXES MK2 is equipped with stereo 1/4” balanced outputs to take full advantage of the stereo chorusing effect.

Finally, XERXES features full MIDI control and ability to store 128 user presets per bank across 11 banks (Factory, Vintage and 9 user banks) integrating this classic synth concept seamlessly into any studio setup."

Refurbished and Modified Oberheim Matrix-12 w/ Original Manual & Operation Guide

I can't tell if the SN is P55010, P55020, or other.

"As rare as these are, it is far rarer to find one in absolute mint condition, fully restored, modified with an internal fan (to mitigate the notorious overheating issue with these), extra CEM chips, original 194 page owners manual in great condition AND the original and rare 12 page GBC bound quick start guide! I'm in absolutley no hurry to sell this one. It's just a window display for the shop really, unless someone wants the cleanest, best one money can buy. When I say the wooden sides look brand new and don’t have a single scratch, I mean this one belongs in a museum. All the buttons were cleaned and serviced by a professional, some minor components like aged capacitors have been upgraded to highest quality versions and the unit has always been stored in a climate controlled, smoke free home studio by all three owners.

When it was released, retail price was equivalent to today’s retail value of over $18,000. Can you imagine buying it new for that in the 80’s? No wonder so few were made (from 1985-1991 only 1,000 were produced).

I am the third owner. I don’t need to tell you that this is quite possibly the greatest synthesizer ever made. It is arguably the greatest Oberheim ever made as well. With 15 LFO’s and VCA’s per voice, this thing is an absolute beast. It even has a self tuning feature that recalibrates itself."

I thought the price was a bit too good at only $689.00 for this one, but it's disfunctional. This one is for the techs/DIYers out there.

"FUNCTIONING WITH DEFECTS

This is a very rare example of the Vermona MARS synthesizer and Control unit.

The Control unit is responding as it should with the head unit, and all menus and buttons seem to also be working on the head unit.

Known issues:

Head unit produces sound and is affected by keyboard presses, but for some reason the LFO keeps running and cannot be turned off, also the Filter and Envelope Generator are not responding (even though the Control unit changes their parameters)

This could be a great project for someone looking to repair and get a great deal on this very rare synth, or get the head unit for parts and a fully functioning Control Unit."

bloom

video upload by infinitedigits

https://github.com/schollz/bloom

this script aims to replicate the “bloom” app by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers that was released in 2008. the major functionality persists: clicking on the grid / screen will create circles and sounds that grow and disappear. multiple touches will create sequences that also eventually fade away. the sounds belong to scales with alien names like "ambrette", "benzoin", "bergamot", "labdanum", "neroli", "orris", "tolu", "vetiver", and "ylang" - all which were painstakingly captured from the original app (PARAMS > scale). also, like the app, the norns script has an “evolve when idle” function (PARAMS > evolve when idle), and toggles for randomization (PARAMS > randomize).

there are major differences between the "bloom" app and the "bloom" norns script. its difficult to obtain 100% the same sounds of the app so I did my best with my synthesis knowledge to create a similar sounds with SuperCollider. the sounds I have are a bell-like feedback sine sound which can be mixed with a kalimba sample (swapping between acoustic and synthetic) (PARAMS > blend). the drone notes are taken from the scale, as in the app, but the switching between drones is not precisely the same.

another change is the introduction of "lanes" (PARAMS > lanes). this essentially splits the grid into multiple lanes where each lane is a separate sequencer. by default there is one lane, but you can have one lane for each row on your grid.

FarCoast | 0-Coast, 0-Ctrl, Strega

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I did a drum patch yesterday and right after posting I recorded a jam I liked very much. So even though I am using the same modules as the day before, this patch is completely different, mainly because 0-coast is the main voice. It's a simple patch, designed to stack itself up by using delay and short loops. Using a scale creates the illusion of polyphony even though 0-coast is mono. Using Strega as a support voice doesn't create polyphony or duophony, but a multi-timbral mono patch. Telharmonic is making creative noise effects. Using a quantiser like the O_C is crucial for offering the freedom to tweak 0-Ctrl's pitch lanes so whatever you tweak will come out as a 'proper' note. While it may be interesting to go 'unquantized because it's designed that way', I don't believe a module dictates how you should use it. The only rules that apply are your own.
