Great Improvements of the Serge Triple Osc M-odule

via Bakis:

"via Rex Probe himself:
'about the new NTO & PCOs:

The VC FM index on the NTO is now linear with no base line pitch shift

The SYNC inputs work much better, with the points of tuning between the master & slave optimized. The sync 'grab' is now much 'deeper' into the harmonics.

The portamento section of the NTO is much smoother with lower harmonic distortion and better linearity.

Because of many improvements to the circuit associated with the SINE output, the sonic purity is greatly improved and with it the swept sine into the FM inputs
sounds great!

All the waveform outs on both the NTO & PCO have much improved sonic characters. Lower harmonic distortion, lower intermodulation distortion, lower phase noise, improved bandwidth linearity and improved jitter -- all without compromising their analog (phat) tonal richness!'"

PSPSeq 3.00 demo - probabilistic sequencing for drum & bass

"this is a tutorial on how to use the probabilistic sequencing feature within PSPSeq 3.00 to create automatically changing drum loops. the video was recorded by ethan, the creator of PSPSeq. the SEQ used in the demo can be downloaded at:

AquesTone is a vocal synthesizer plug-in (it is free!) It is a curious experience to sing a song with a keyboard... Try it yourself."

Min/Max Melody II

"Same patch as before, except now the A-111 output paths are separated. The min part A-111 is now feeding a square wave to the Doepfer A-196 PLL, and the A-111 pulse width is being sine modulated in time with the notes. The PLL output is going to the Cwejman MMF-1 (now in dual-peak bandpass mode). The max A-111 is now feeding the Cwejman VCEQ-3 and then on to the Doepfer A-121 (low pass). The PLL gives the bass line its crazy character, as it has been tuned so that it can't keep up with the square wave pitch changes. Narrowing the pulse widths to zero in the meantime is not helping either."

"Sorry about the poor quality. The lighting was horrible and it was very load. I went around and made some short clips of various goings-on..."

"I've replaced the display in my new (old) Korg Wavestation A/D with a white-LED backlit generic 240x64 LCD from Hong Kong. It's much nicer than the original display. My digital camera wouldn't take its picture for some reason - it shows up as a washed out white colour - the k800i did a better job but still doesn't show up how rich and contrasty it is. I am very pleased with the results!"
