"These are single rack space modules consisting of a pair of 24db/oct low pass filters using Curtis CEM3328 synth filter chips. These are great sounding, musical filters with the special feature of consistent volume across resonance settings.
These modules have balanced/unbalanced inputs and unbalanced outputs. There are CV inputs for frequency and resonance on each channel, and a stereo link switch to have the knob settings from channel one operate channel 2 (the CV freq. input also carries over, but the res. CV control jack does not so you need to use a multiple if you want identical CV on the resonance input).
High-quality parts used through-out (Nichicon and Nippon caps, etc). These are professionally designed, assembled, and wired. Uses quality double-sided pcb's.
The only thing I would say is not professional quality are the control decals. I used water-slide decals so they will last and have a low profile, but they don't look nearly as good as proper screen printing or engraving methods in my opinion."

"so this is my first attempt at a circuit based synth. it makes some horrible noises. that's why it's called 'do capacitors dream of electric death?', it sounds like electricity trying to die.
i don't know if it's really useful (the intro tune was a quick little something i made up in Sunvox with noises only from the synth.) But i'm quite happy with it's overall aesthetic and well, since it's my first attempt at anything like this i'm just glad it worked and ended up making noises :P

"At Vindor, we believe that anyone can make music. Playing music should be affordable, accessible and fun for everyone.
That's why we designed the Vindor ES1. It's an electronic saxophone that is easy to play, fun, and inspires creativity.
Playing music develops cognitive, motor, and emotional skills. It also builds confidence and encourages everyone from kids to adults to express themselves.
The Vindor ES1 is:
Affordable. For less than $200, the Vindor is cheaper than buying or renting a saxophone, flute or clarinet.
Relevant to all ages. Lightweight and tough, the Vindor ES1 is designed to be played by adults and children over six years old.
Satisfying to play. By digitally producing tones, the Vindor ES1 eliminates the squeaks and squawks that frustrate beginners.
Creative. With a unique sound, quick response, and four-octave span, the Vindor ES1 gives you the flexibility to be inventive and to experiment.
Mobile. Lightweight, compact and with a built-in rechargeable battery you can play the Vindor ES1 anywhere.
Quiet when needed. You can play the Vindor ES1 with headphones to play or practice in peace (and out of earshot of roommates, parents, neighbors).
Connected. Use it as a controller for software instruments and with music apps like GarageBand on desktops, tablets and smartphone.
The way you press the Vindor's buttons to make different notes is the same as a saxophone. We have eliminated a few advanced keys to simplify the playing experience. Even though saxophones are bigger, what each finger does is identical in both the Vindor and saxophone.
The Vindor also has corresponding sound and fingering to a flute or a clarinet."

"3 sine wave oscillators each with adjustable symmetry and low sine key adjust! Creating smooth to course, dirty to clean, synch chords at a push of its 12 keys! This little monster sounds great with added distortion and WOW with a Flanger. Completely portable with 9v power and 1/4 inch output!"
via the ST Community website, where you can find additional info including build instructions. This is a DIY synth by pappas.chris that uses a $23 STM32F7 Nucleo-144 Board.
About this project :
An expandable feature 6-voice virtual analog synthesizer using only one STM32F7 Nucleo-144 board.
Project info
Type : Built using one STM32F7 Nucleo-144 board, one stereo audio jack, and a USB-OTG to USB-A adapter.
1. the SQK-01 - Arduino digital/analog FM synthesizer - Part 1
"A bit of a basic video to show the progress I've made on my synthesizer build so far! Part 2 will be more of an actual video, probably will make that when I've added the filter and such."
2. the SQK-01 - Arduino digital/analog FM synthesizer - Part 2
"Now that the digital and analog sections of the synthesizer are complete I show off some of the things it can do.
I forgot to re-tune the thing before recording (it was still using the old samplerate tuning words) so it is not tuned to A = 440Hz, but otherwise it is of course IN tune so no difference there :P"

"Moog Mother 32 Semi-Modular Synthesizer, mounted in Moog's Triple-Tier Rack with two additional 60 hp Moog Eurorack Cases... Also included is Alchemical Audio's touchplate controller featuring gold touchplates and purple LEDs. The controller is brand new and only used for testing purposes. It features outputs for CV (1V/Octave), Gate, Trigger, as well as MIDI. It can be used to play any Eurorack Module, MIDI compatible Synthesizer or Drum Machine due to its multiple outputs. I am also including a 12V power supply, but the controller can also be powered by a standard Eurorack ribbon cable if you want to mount this into a larger Eurorack case and don't want to use the external power supply.
Also included is the Tiptop Audio uZeus Power Module w/ Premium Zeus Boost / Mantis Power Supply (also brand new and only used for testing purposes. Both flying ribbon cables will be included (one is currently mounted in the case and the other is brand new in box)."
"The Pribore MDP101 Baby connects to a computer or a phone via bluetooth, defined as a MIDI device. It has 2 assignable control knobs (Rotary Knob CC), 2 assignable keys (Button CC), 5 transport keys (Rewind, Stop, Play, Record, Loop), 1 angular acceleration sensor (accelerometer), for capturing emotions and expression (Motion Sensor), 1 battery for stand-alone operation, and a USB port for charging and connecting as a usb-midi device."

When the surface area or intensity of skin contact between two or more people changes Touch Me modifies sound output according to selected scale and tone parameters."
This and the below appear to be beta software from Rael for the Sega Mega Drive, aka Sega Genesis. via Wikipedia: "The Sega Genesis, known as the Mega Drive[b] in regions outside of North America, is a 16-bit home video game console which was developed and sold by Sega Enterprises, Ltd."
The sound source for the Sega Genesis is the Yamaha YM2612 and Texas Instruments SN76489.
"The mega synthesizer is a synthesizer software dedicated to mega drive made for improvisation and live performance.
I develop it in C language using SGDK of mega drive development kit. "
And via Soundmit (Google translated from Italian):
"Fingersonic presents "Fingersonic EXP-1", the new complete drum workstation, vintage bassline, polyphonic synthesizer and effects.
13 instruments controlled by a powerful step sequencer and 3 independent arpeggiators.
There are many features to discover, such as the EXS external track that allows you to easily pilot an external synth / sampler or even the built-in mixer with track mute function for live track, tap time and more.
All your work, patches, and patterns can be saved in internal memory. Much work has been done on algorithms and mathematical models with some innovations to allow you to offer a virtual analog synthesis with sound from scary.
Dedicated bass line that knows how to become acidic with integrated distortion. A powerful synthesizer with 6 oscillators (2 waveforms, square and saw), detune, VCF, 2 envelope, 2 lf. There is no professional MIDI implementation that allows you to control all internal parameters and voices.
A USB port allows you to connect EXP-1 to a PC or your Android smartphone / tablet. The product is expandable with 2 xpansion ports. A module with 3 additional controls and a MIDI hardware interface are already available from launch. By purchasing the GOLD version, the expansion modules are supplied as standard factory-fitted. EXP-1 is a fully designed and built instrument in Italy and will be premiered at the Soundmit in Turin, which will take place from 3 to 5 November 2017."
