"This is the "board" version of the Solar Module. Can be used as is, or installed in a project box. It is completely assembled and all parts are soldered for you. Two instruments in one. It is an 8 bit synth and MIDI controller. Uses a 12" ribbon sensor, the same sensor used in commercially manufactured ribbon controllers. Also come with a photocell sensor that plugs right into the board. The photocell sensor will allow you to use the Solar Module board as an optical Theremin. Available at ElectroKraft.com "

UAD Moog Multimode Filter Now Available

see this post for a video of the filter. "If UA were able to conceive a product with Moog, what would it be? The answer is revealed in the new Moog Multimode Filter, which delivers the first truly analog-sounding VCF (voltage controlled filter) emulation made for mixing, performing, creating, or destroying. The Moog Multimode Filter is a ‘digital-only’ tabletop filter set that combines the best of Bob Moog’s classic designs with select features from his final Voyager instrument.

* Stunningly accurate UAD recreation of the historical Moog Four-Pole filter sound
* Sophisticated Lowpass, Highpass and Bandpass filtering with self oscillation, saturation and zero artifacts
* Several classic and modern Moog instrument features combined into one simple control set
* Six waveshapes, and tempo synchronization for LFOs
* Mono and Stereo processing, with special features like Spacing and Offset for stereo effects
* Includes low DSP “SE” version of Moog Multimode Filter"

bergfotron minimoog vca project(s)

via numbertalk on this electro-music.com thread.

"I would like to build a Minimoog VCA clone. I would like to base this off of adaption(s) designed by Bergfotron. There are 2 of his schematics I'm looking at and would like to incorporate features of one into the other but have a few questions, if anyone could help (and can manage to read through these questions Smile).

For the questions below, schem 1 refers to link - this is the one I would like to mainly base my module on.

And schem 2 refers to link - this is one I would like to use a few of the extra features from."

Multitouch Audio Table - AudioTouch OS - Long Version

YouTube via cerupcat. via sequencer.de
"AudioTouch is an interactive multi-touch interface for computer music exploration and collaboration. The interface features audio based applications that make use of multiple users and simultaneous touch inputs on a single multi-touch screen. A natural user interface where users can interact through gestures and movements, while directly manipulating musical objects, is a key aspect of the design; the goal is to be able to interact with the technology (specifically music based) in a natural way. Users can load, exit, and move musical applications using gestures as well as have a multiple applications operate within the same work environment. The design is built into a table that hides all the hardware necessary for tracking multiple inputs as well as displaying visual feedback on the touch surface."
