new, a sponge based audio oscillator
video upload by RS-Elc
"Sponge material shows an extremely large dielectric constant that changes with the amount of compression. It can be made into a wide range variable capacitor when clamped between two metal plates. Capacitors in the range of 100nF can be made with only a few cm of (cellulose based) sponge material.
This movie shows a sponge-based oscillator and a sponge-based lowpass filter as an introduction into 'Spongetronics'. Comes with oscilloscope waveforms and resulting sounds. More info on Elektor Labs."

Korg DW6000 rack mount conversion with editor
video upload by Craig Barnes
"I bought this DW6000 for £100 a few years back, after fixing a few issues and adding an editor it didn't warrant taking up a keyboard space, so I'm converting it to a 19" rack. First thing to do is build a condensed front panel."

Tangram Sequencer TEST V02
video upload by MOS-LAB
"Le prototype du séquenceur avance plutôt bien. Dans cette version, il y a seulement la gestion des Gates sur un channel de 1X8 steps (le projet final comportera 4 X 16 Steps). Les boutons Run/Stop/Reset/Manual advance sont OK. Il y a un menu General Settings pour visualisation Tempo, bascule Clock Interne ou Externe (Clock Midi prévu plus tard) ; et un menu pour les paramètres du channel 1 (Mode de défilement / nombre de pas / Cv range)
La prochaine étape consistera à implémenter les potentiomètres de pas, avec quantisation interne + DAC externe pour 1V/octave, puis sélection ratchet à la volée sur pas désiré."

The EV: A New Digital/Acoustic Hybrid Stringed-Instrument Synthesizer
video upload by Brian Lindgren
"The EV is a new digital/acoustic hybrid stringed-instrument synthesizer. The instrument’s FFT convolution algorithms combined with the unique and expressive synthesizer create a gritty and textured realism. Using a novel pitch-tracking technology the instrument achieves both high accuracy and low latency; in this way it overcomes the hurdles that have historically plagued pitch-tracking or ‘MIDI’ stringed-instruments. Most importantly, the EV is reliable, expressive, and enjoyable-to-play. The most unique feature of the EV is its sound. While the pitch-tracking technology allows for a responsive and accurate playing experience (which cannot be overvalued), the FFT convolution unlocks new dimensions of sonic possibility and a uniquely responsive electronic instrument. The parametric customizability of the synthesizers, transfer functions, and FFT engines (not to mention the timbral-responsive nature of the FFT convolution algorithms) allows for a responsive and far-reaching sonic palette. Most synthesizers utilize an interface for pitch input that forces the player to adhere to a ‘Western’ twelve-tone scale system, for example, a keyboard. As the EV is a fretless stringed-instrument, it allows for the creation of synthesized music of any particular tuning system. In this way it suggests the creation of music beyond the Western canon, suggesting myriad musical possibilities."
