"About Super OSC (https://dr.yuendo.jp/pages/elz_1-play)

I have shoot a demo of 'Super OSC,' which will be additionally installed by taking advantage of the period of time created by the delay in FCC/CE certification testing that I reported recently.

Not only Super SAW, but also Super SIN, Super SQR, Super TRI, and other sounds can be created. The video also introduces sound making and simple jammin', so please take a look.

Thank you for your continued support.

AKAI Introduces MPC STEMS: A NEW ERA IN SAMPLING

video upload by AkaiProVideo

"For four decades, Akai Pro has stood at the forefront of sampling technology, from the legendary S950 to the iconic MPC platform that laid the foundation for some of the most impactful music genres in our industry. This art of sampling from vinyl evolved into a craft, enabling producers to extract sections of records, chopped and re-pitched into slices, creating an entirely new composition. Renowned producers such as The Alchemist to DJ Premier have become pioneers in this sampling art form known as Crate Digging.

With MPC Stems, Akai Pro opens Pandora's box, seamlessly integrating stems separation into the Iconic MPC workflow. This innovation not only delivers superior sound quality but also enhances the speed of the sampling process, ushering producers and beat makers into a new era of sampling creativity.

Coral got a new Engine! VCO Moog style Virtual Analog

video upload by OXI Instruments

"We kick off 2024 with a new sound engine available for Coral ! 🪸🪸

3x variable-saw virtual analog oscillators that seamlessly morphs from Triangle to Square waveforms with dynamic PWM capabilities. 2 of the 3 oscillators can be detuned in relation to the main oscillator.

The detuning controls (Harm and Morph) are finely calibrated to easily align with musical intervals, such as +7 and +12 semitones. This feature facilitates the creation of musically coherent detuning effects, while still providing the flexibility to detune by a few cents."

NerdSEQ Firmware V2.0 and Multi-IO Expander release

video upload by XOR Electronics

"Finally I am happy to announce you the new NerdSEQ firmware V2.0 and the new Multi-IO Expander release! There have been many updates since the initial release of the NerdSEQ 6 years ago but this time it is the most massive update so far!

Adding a new mapping screen which allows to modulate everything with everything, adding calculations and even simple scripting/code.
A new scaling screen with many scale presets, user scales and microtuning per note.
A new tracktype which allows polyphonic sequencing and the drummatrix to sequence Midi, I2C, CV/Gate ...
New edit modes to fill in notes/values and make sequences on-the-fly.
Updated Midi Routing allows the use of 3 independent Midi Ports with the Multi-IO Expander.
I2C support for distingEX, ER301, Just friends, 16n/F8R and clones....
External control of all parameters in the NerdSEQ.

There is much more in this new firmware and I squeezed even more out of the NerdSEQ hardware!!
As usual the new firmware is free to download on the XOR Website.

Also the new Multi-IO Expander is finally released which is the new Midi and I2C Expander. It got 3 Midi Ports:
- USB Host - Connect a Launchpad, Midi Keyboard, Midi Controller etc
- USB Device - Connect with the Computer and you got a NerdSEQ Midi Device to use with a DAW
- TRS-A Midi - Classic TRS-A / DIN Midi ports
They are 2 x I2C Ports which can be used in a flexible way to act as a Leader or as a Follower
- Encoder and Buttons allow to use new edit modes, to dial in notes and values

New Spectraphon Firmware! | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

Also see: SpectraNoise Coming to Make Noise Spectraphon

Press release follows:

Make Noise is proud to announce SpectraNoise, a new Spectraphon firmware coded by Tom Erbe of Soundhack!

This free firmware can be downloaded directly from our website.

SpectraNoise adds two new oscillator modes: Chaos and Noise.

As with the original Spectraphon firmware, each half of the module is able to run any of the four available modes (SAM, SAO, Chaos, Noise) independently, allowing for a wide range of experimental, harmonically rich timbres.

This new firmware also includes improved low frequency compensation for the Partials parameter in SAO mode.

A new low frequency mode can also be enabled, transforming the module into a chaotic modulation powerhouse!

Noise Mode:

In Noise mode, the Even and Odd outputs contain a pair of sine waves modulated by noise sidebands. The Slide and Focus controls set the frequencies of a low-pass and high-pass filter, respectively, for this modulating noise, further shaping the sidebands.

Chaos Mode:

In Chaos mode, two sine oscillators are each paired with a second sine whose harmonic ratio is set by the Focus control. Partials adds audio rate modulation of one sine by the other, and Slide adds multiple chaotic feedback paths to this modulation.

In both new modes the Sine and Sub/CV outputs, the Pitch Controls and the FM Bus, all work the same as in previously existing modes.

Please refer to the Spectraphon manual for more details!

Additional information:

The updated Spectraphon manual (which includes the SpectraNoise info) can be found here.

A cheat sheet for the various controls and functions of SpectraNoise can be found on our website.

Installing SpectraNoise provides access to sounds otherwise impossible to create with the original Spectraphon firmware. We cannot wait to hear what you create with it! Download today and happy patching!
