"Clandestine Projects go by many strange names. Projects which changed the course of history for better or worse. Manhattan, Bluebook, MK Ultra— hell—even Alan Parsons…
PROJECT ANTIDOTE (codename THE MACHINE) is the latest of such world-changing endeavors. But rather than another top-down government control-scheme funded by covert appropriation, the Military, Moonies, the Heritage Foundation or Rand Corp— PROJECT ANTIDOTE is conducted by a grassroots coalition of outsiders far from the eyes & ears of the surveillance-state.
Miles down a random dirt road a working group was assembled from the ranks of OFF!—the Hardcore Punk Supergroup—& Trogotronic’s Subhuman Resistor-Wranglers. Their mission: Design the ANTI-SYSTEM.
While silicon valley oligarchs were squandering unimaginable sums to develop “brain-enhancement implants” at zillion-dollar vivisection labs, PROJECT ANTIDOTE relentlessly refined THE MACHINE at a secret forest shanty dubbed “THE PUNK WORKS”. Success was soon realized when the pathway for organic audio-to-mental frequency-coupling was established, whereby minds are FREED rather than controlled. What’s more THE MACHINE viscerally resonates with only the MOST radical free-radicals to achieve a critical mass of illuminated population no longer subject to THE SYSTEM.
THE MACHINE includes a holistic tuning array of
11 Parameter Knobs 10 Element Light Emitting Array All-Analog Audio Circuitry Right vs. Left Hemispherical Design Endless Audio-to-Brain Setting Possibilities 12v Worldwide Power Supply Plug & Play for rapid deployment at blistering amplitudes, its immediate effects are clearly notable when the uninitiated strike a peculiar pose with each fore-finger inserted deep into the ear canal. Congratulations: IT’S WORKING!
As a redundant precaution, plans are being subliminally disseminated via unlimited multimedia release. Hidden diagrams are embedded in LP sleeves, Sportswear & Midnight Movie plots only visible in complete darkness. This way if all our efforts fail, the intrepid underground technicians among us can independently construct THE MACHINE in shanties the world over."
"A new unit from a brilliant new designer – exclusive to Soundgas – we absolutely love this wild and unpredictable box which can create stunning sounds and rhythms from pretty much anything.
The BOU is a characterful and unpredictable audio sampler, designed for experimentation and improvisation. please feed it a wide variety of sound sources including but not limited to field recordings and household objects, acoustic instruments, synthesizers and electronic equipment, songs by your favourite recording artist (or your least favourite…).
There are no menus, sub-patches, presets or save functions. The BOU is immediate and imperfect.
Please note that these are handbuilt and hand-finished units; some imperfections to the finish and knobs is to be expected.
The capture button records for the length that it’s pressed for (maximum 3 seconds), recording from the built-in microphone, unless a line input is connected on the back in which case that source is captured. the looped sample begins to play back immediately.
Mix
There is no overall volume control for the BOU. both of the playback samplers have their own level control, as does the fragment space and occult emanation parameters which are routed as pre-fade effects.
Play
There are two sample players which behave differently: particle and fragment. each has a control for length, speed and level.
There is additional control for pitch and direction of particle, whilst fragment can be sent to space.
Occult emanation should be used liberally with caution.
Power supply:
Requires a 9v centre positive supply (not included).
External measurements (including knobs): 24 x 18 x 8 cm"
"The NTDD is a PT2399 based dual-delay(DD) processor, and analog Dub-Siren circuit.
DELAY: There are two PT2399 delay chips in series with independent delay time controls on the X and Y axis of the "TIME" joystick(Left). The delay-mix and feedback-amount are controlled together by the "ECHO" knob. The "REGEN X2" switch enables the output from delay-chip 1 to be fed back to its input, as well as to delay-chip 2's input. When disengaged, only delay-chip 2 will have feedback(echo). The Echo and Feedback circuits are designed more for experimental exploratory noise, and less for traditional audio processing. The delay times can go very low and become very distorted, and the feedback is set very high to allow maximal feedback and self-filtering with the use of auto-leveling. An optical compressor is used to prevent feedback runaway, while allowing lower signals to regenerate continuously. An internal trimmer resistor can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the compressor.
SIREN: The "Dub-Siren" consists of a square-wave VCO, gated envelope generator and LFO. The envelope generator is active while the "GATE" switch is held, and the "ENV"(envelope) knob determines the Attack and Release time when the Gate switch is pressed and released. The three position switch below the Envelope knob determines the Envelope knob's range. In the upper position, the Envelope knob will have a fast attack, and the knob will only change the release time of the envelope. In the center position, the Envelope knob range will be split between Attack and Release. Increasing the Attack time will in-turn decrease the Release time, and vice-versa. In the lower position, the envelope will have a fast Release time, and the ENV knob will only change the Attack time. By default, the envelope generator controls the volume of the square-wave VCO, but can also be used to modulate either the Pitch of the VCO or the Rate of the LFO with the "MOD" 3-way switch. In the center position, the MOD switch is "OFF". The LFO modulates the Pitch of the VCO. The LFO can be set to Square-wave or Triangle-wave with the "SQR-TRI" switch. The LFO Depth and Rate are controlled with the X and Y axis of the right joystick. The LFO voltage can be offset with the "BIAS" knob. While the LFO depth is set to minimum, the BIAS knob can be used to change the pitch range of the VCO independent of the LFO.
The NTDD also comes equipped with; Volume knob(VOL) Power ON/OFF switch with LED 1/8 inch(3.5mm) input jack 1/4 inch line output jack 5.1mm DC adapter(9V tip-positive) Built-in speaker 3XAAA battery compartment."

"My YouTube friend Shiela from @midi_in sent me this digital kalimba prototype for feedback. This is an early prototype. She's already made changes to the design, but it shows a lot of potential. I really like the idea of a MIDI controller that conforms to scales/modes and the interface is very intuitive.
"Sn is a lofi FM synthesiser that can produced a wide range of tones, textures and noise. This video demonstrates some of the sounds when operating alone.
It features 7 algorithms, with 3 different pitch settings for each. Controls for Carrier pitch, modulator pitch(es) and FM amount. Each control also has a CV input and a trigger/gate input is available to change algorithms. The output is run through a passive LPF that turns into a LPG when the passive VCA is on and a CV signal is received at the VCA's input."

"This video demonstrates the final version of a 4-bit Linear PCM synthesizer that I have designed and built over about two months. It makes use of mostly Soviet clones of 7400 and 74LS series TTL chips, with no microcontrollers involved. It has a 256 x 4 SRAM chip that allows the user to program whatever waveforms may be desired, with looping capability, and starting at whatever point desired. Most importantly, it is able to be controlled by an external source, for example a keyboard instrument. It also has a frequency doubler circuit. This video is part 2 of 2, showing the finished product.

At Artium Instruments, we approach our designs with the understanding that musicians cultivate intimate connections with the gear they employ to create their art. We firmly believe that instruments ought to possess not just functionality, but also personality, character, and a distinct identity that inspires its user.
First and foremost, we've dedicated significant effort to ensuring that the synthesizer and onboard effects produce exceptional sound quality akin to professional studio-grade equipment. The Swarm features a SuperSaw oscillator with 8-note polyphony, curated onboard effects, and a full-featured arpeggiator.
At Artium Instruments we are committed to knob-for-knob functionality in our desktop synths. Every feature of The Swarm is directly mapped to a knob, button, switch, or jack, ensuring effortless control. There's no need for menu-diving or complicated button presses to access features; everything is conveniently accessible at your fingertips.
With over a decade of experience in the effects industry, we have carefully curated a selection of effects that complements the synth core. Unique to The Swarm is its capability to use the onboard effects with other equipment, allowing you to route external audio through the input jacks on the back.
We've invested considerable thought into crafting the overall feel of the instrument. From the layout of the knobs to the choice of colors, artwork, and weight of the enclosure, every detail has been considered. These details matter to us because we recognize that the connection a user forms with a piece of gear is nearly as crucial in the creative process as the sounds it produces. We hope you can feel the love and passion we've poured into every detail of The Swarm, from its sonic capabilities to its design aesthetics.
The Swarm is controlled by MIDI through a USB-C port. Most modern class-compliant MIDI controllers with USB functionality should plug in and work immediately with zero setup. Additionally, The Swarm provides power to your controller, streamlining your setup process. For older controllers that only have DIN connections, a USB to DIN converter can be used to ensure compatibility.
The Swarm features a SuperSaw oscillator with 8-note polyphony. This oscillator is composed of seven individual saw waves stacked on top of each other. The magic happens when you detune the waveforms by applying a frequency offset, resulting in one of the most massive synth sounds available.
The Swarm employs this SuperSaw oscillator through two distinct control modes: Polyphonic Mode and Arpeggiator Mode. In Polyphonic Mode, you can play up to eight notes simultaneously. Arpeggiator Mode offers a comprehensive monophonic arpeggiator, automatically sequencing held notes in a variety of patterns.
All onboard effects can be used with external equipment. Simply plug an external audio source into the rear input jacks, and The Swarm will seamlessly mix the external audio with its synth core, allowing for simultaneous processing of both signals.
By pressing the touchpad on the right, The Swarm records a 1000ms sample of the current audio. It then layers, and smears the sample, creating an infinite drone frozen in time—a perfect foundation for layering additional notes. The freeze effect facilitates overdubbing, and pressing the touchpad with the freeze knob at its minimum setting erases the memory, allowing you to capture a fresh sample.
The Swarm's delay is a digital delay with a subtle touch of warmth. The delay length synchronizes with the arpeggiator clock, which can be adjusted manually using the clock knob or via the tap tempo touchpad on the left. Additionally, the delay features a multiplier knob, offering a range of unique subdivisions that complement the synced arpeggiator, including quarter notes, dotted eighth notes, eighth notes, and triplets.
The reverb effect in The Swarm strives to enhance the natural body and ambience of the synth core without overshadowing it. Its stereo reverb algorithm is controlled by a single knob, which adjusts both the mix and decay simultaneously. This versatile control allows you to seamlessly transition from realistic room or hall effects to expansive cathedral-like soundscapes, offering a wide range of atmospheric possibilities.
The SuperSaw oscillator practically demands to be paired with a chorus effect. The Swarm employs a stereo 4-voice chorus effect alongside a gradually shifting LFO, aiming to craft dimensionality without becoming nauseating.
MON2 : Soundscape Machine 16-bit synthesizers 6 Oscillator is a combination of functions such as GrooveBox Omichord Drone Noisebox designed to be able to mix a variety of sounds, divided into 3 groups, 2 oscillators per group A(1) B(2) C( 3) And each group can adjust parameters independently. It creates new sound mixing and it's quite functional. There are 30 waveforms, random step, CV in, LFO, Tremolo, LPF, ECHO, Sub Oscillator and many more.
Suitable for people who want to understand sound synthesis. Players will gradually Learn to customize the characteristics of each sound group through a unique, easy-to-understand and playable vertical screen. It's like we have 3 synthesizers in one box, with 2 main modes: Voice mode and Chord mode. MON2 : Soundscape Machine will definitely give you new ideas.
The design approach remains unique to the brand. Stainless steel plates and buttons made from quality grade silicone plates. Gives a good feeling of use The keys are designed in size and distance to be similar to the keys on a MIDI keyboard used for making music, so finger placement is comfortable. Vertical screens are something that designers really want to present. It is both unique to create an instrument that has This new type of workflow The screen divides the parameters to display 3 parameters at all times. Corresponds to the number of 3 left knobs when the user wants to adjust any parameter in the screen and the 3 parameters in this vertical screen. Also related to the 4 touch sensors placed under the screen. There is a system to lock parameters to prevent discrepancies. Because we use the same knobs for all 12 menus.

"673 WaveWraith is an Analog Vacuum-Tube instrument which combines the power of the Valkyrie model with the MotherMutant model's interface in a no-compromises ergonomic console. Simultaneously delicate & brute, terrifying & beautiful; time invested in Wavewraith bears dividends of ghastly key-borne transitions, lengthy Rube Goldberg cycles & endless foley ideas for the classic sci-fi horror movie of choice."
