MaxMSP clicks for the modular synth.

YouTube via dkimcg
"I used the PlanB Model 17, Model 10, and the Model 26 to create syncopated rhythms based on a click that Max/MSP was outputting via the MOTU 828 MK2. The Triple Timer is excellent for making triggers/pulses out of any incoming voltage. It doesn't have to be an envelope, so it's great for making the Cyclotron the master clock. You can create triplets from the slower notes with the M28, but it can get a bit messy and hectic unless the beat is a steady 1/4 or 1/2 notes.

This patch in max is one from a little while ago where I was testing out the new meter system in Max5 and the click~ object. There's no midi involved, just clicks and the modular processing the click and making new triggers and envelopes from that and the modulators.

There are samples though. two tracks of them, in Max."

Crumar Spirit analog synth

"Great little synth I just got back from being repaired by James Walker at Synth Repair Services. Don't have much experience of it, so just me noodling. I like it towards the end (after 5 minutes) where I add S&H to the filter. Very flexible with 2 filters and some great modulation possibilities and a pretty funky Arpeggiator." Odd note: this one sounds a bit like my Waldorf Pulse Plus.

Access Virus TI OS 2.7 has landed

"Recklinghausen, Germany - Access Music GmbH, the company behind the award winning Virus TI synthesizer series released OS 2.7 after an extensive public beta test.
The new version, which is compatible with the entire Virus TI range including the Virus TI Snow, is a landmark in Access' history of free feature OS updates. It introduces Atomizer (an unique realtime glitch- and looper effect), a third USB buss to transfer even more discreet audio channels in between the synth and the sequencer and support for multiple devices. It also adds Virus Control Center, a MacOS/Windows application which can backup and restore the memory content of the entire synth and overwrite the ROM patch banks with new sounds. A detailed list of all additions and solved issues can be found on the download page as well.

OS 2.7 is available free of charge to every Virus TI user from http://www.virus.info today."
