"Linear and Oscillating Control Voltage for Analog Synths. Performing with an Analog Synth, consists mainly of real time Timbre shaping. For this purpose 24dB Resonant Filters and Envelope Generators were created. The Analog performer will share his attention between the keyboard manual and the panel. Intended to release your hands to other tasks, this Control Voltage(CV) Pedal can control most synthesizers or other gear that has a Control Voltage input. This pedal can produce the following signals:
0 to +5V : As used in most current equipment both analog and digital. The current moog line works with this standart.
0 to +10V : Used in most vintage synths. Moog, Yamaha, Roland, Sequential, Arp etc...
-5 to +5 : Used by Analog Korg: Mono/Poly, MS-10, MS-20, MS-50, Polysix, PS Modular Series, Trident, VC-10 Vocoder among others."
"Spaceman Technologies has pioneered multi-touch touchscreen research. Many different 'multi-touch' interfaces for both musical and general-purpose computer applications have been developed. These surfaces are capable of discriminating between (and tracking) multiple objects, human touches, and/or elements of a user-reconfigurable mechanical or graphical overlay in contact with that surface. The images above show several different multi-touch touchscreens and multi-object-tracking interfaces developed for various musical applications in collaboration with Novation EMS Ltd - an electronic music equipment and synthesiser manufacturer.
IP status: Various patent applications filed. Since spring 2007 when Apple Inc announced their IPhone, and Microsoft announced their 'Surface', both products incorporating 'multitouch' touchscreen technologies, there has been considerable commercial interest in this field. Spaceman Technologies began this research project in 2002, prior to Apple Inc commencing the filing of their 'multitouch' touchpad patent applications in 2005."
"In 2003/2004 Spaceman Technologies developed quite a number of innovative sound synthesis and electronic music controllers, sequencers and interfaces. These efforts were mainly concentrated on developing tactile instruments, sequencers and mixing desks based around the Spaceman Technologies multi-object tracking and multi-touch sensor technologies, in collaboration with Novation EMS Ltd. One of these interfaces - a multitouch tactile sequencer (shown above) was exhibited by Kinetica Museum, London, 18 May - 29 June 2007.
In addition to these projects various DSP-based sound synthesis and spectrum analysis toys and gadgets were developed such as the SoundMouse and the OpticalMicrophone."
Update: the site with details is no longer available. It contained:
- Direct parameter accesses to the VCF (volume days control LED filter, cut off and Resonance)
- Direct parameter accesses to the ADSR (envelope generator, Attack and Decay)
- Control inlets for cut off and Resonance, gate trigger (multiple gate Out)
- Suboszillator for DCO1/2 (different variants)
- LFO (Low frequency oscillator) to the modulation of the VCF (cut off/Resonance)
- Structure of a further envelope generator (application suggestion, not tested)
"You want your very special VST effect or VST Instrument? This e-book will show you an easy way how to do it even without any skills in higher programming languages like C or C++. Thanks to SynthEdit it is so simple to connect modules via virtual cables like wiring a musician's setup or a modular synthesizer. This book will also provide you with various background info on how audio effects and synthesis work. This is the easiest way to start successful VST/i programming. Required system for SynthEdit: Win 98/ME/XP"
"Mutations is a collection of over 100 racks specifically designed for Ableton's Operator synth. Programmed by some of Ableton's own sound designers exclusively for Puremagnetik, Mutations fully explores the sonic possibilities of Ableton's Rack format and FM synthesis. Mutations is a free download" via Sonic State.
I totally missed this in this previous post, but the shots are apparently of the prototype Prophet '08. To start, note the panel graphics in relation to the pitch and mod wheels vs. the images on the DSI site. Thanks goes to one of the anonymous in the comments of the prior post.
