"Last night tenori save my night!

I was invited yesterday to do gig in a massive event with The Hives, Chromeo, Flosstradamus and other live acts, i was invited as Latinsizer, so i prepared my self to do a Tenori-on live improv, and i did lots of blocks and lots of Sampling back home, and sudenly my SD card lost the info(long story), so couple of hours before i went to stage, i was at the hotel INTERCONTINENTAL (GDL) preparing my tenori set, just using the internal sounds, i really prefer my samples instead but in an emergency you have to use whatever you have at your disposal to save the night,
here is one track i did there just using the Tenori ITSELF, no SD Card, Just Tenori -on internal sounds and no external effects, just live improv ..
so i consider this tracks my first ALL TENORI-ON track.

enjoy!
p.d. thanks for the people that show up at my set ;)

enjoy!"

Analyzing the Juno-106 DCO circuit

"In the previous posting, we discussed how the core of a typical VCO works, and the main sources of drift and instability in a VCO core circuit. The Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) is a 1980s technology designed to eliminate most or all of these sources of inaccuracy, while still operating as basically an analog VCO. The DCO was a transitional technology that arose as soon as inexpensive microprocessors were available that were fast enough to control the timing of an audio oscillator circuit, but not yet fast enough to compute the oscillating waveform entirely in the digital domain. (A secondary consideration was the fact that fast 16-bit digital-to-analog converters, although available, were still quite expensive at the time.) The distinguishing characteristic of a DCO, as opposed to a purely digital oscillator, is that the DCO does not have a D/A converter in the audio signal path. (It may have a D/A converter in the control path.)"

MiK-one - The Guts - Part 1

YouTube via MusicMiK. Follow up to this post.
"MiK-one is the name of my DIY synthesizer, and this video shows you the modules built into it. It's not a full development story, but it might leave an impression.

More development details can be found in the german synthesizer forum: http://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/v...

Due to YouTube length limits, i had to split this video into 2 parts - this is the first part."
