"My new Elby Designs MIDI2SDS(X)
Excited anticpiation ends in frustration on arrival of new module.
argh why is it acting like this?"

Update via Muff in the comments:
"Laurie at Elby Designs AND Paul Maddox (the designer of the PCB) have both been VERY HELPFUL and GREAT to deal with.

It's confirmed that it's a bug with my unit. Laurie is shipping me a new microcontroller for it.

No foul here - been very impressed with how these guys handled it, great communication & great service. "

SPEAR

"SPEAR is an application for audio analysis, editing and synthesis. The analysis procedure (which is based on the traditional McAulay-Quatieri technique) attempts to represent a sound with many individual sinusoidal tracks (partials), each corresponding to a single sinusoidal wave with time varying frequency and amplitude.

Something which closely resembles the original input sound (a resynthesis) can be generated by computing and adding all of the individual time varying sinusoidal waves together. In almost all cases the resynthesis will not be exactly identical to the original sound (although it is possible to get very close).

Aside from offering a very detailed analysis of the time varying frequency content of a sound, a sinusoidal model offers a great deal of flexibility for editing and manipulation. SPEAR supports flexible selection and immediate manipulation of analysis data, cut and paste, and unlimited undo/redo. Hundreds of simultaneous partials can be synthesized in real-time and documents may contain thousands of individual partials dispersed in time. SPEAR also supports a variety of standard file formats for the import and export of analysis data."

Waldorf Blofeld Samples via SCD

via Boele on the Waldorf list:

"Just toying around with the Blofeld:

Recordings are bare Blofeld, no external FX or processing.

Sounds with nice reverb:

Sound with 6 oscillators per voice (3 osc, noise, 2 combfilters)
