Playing with my new e-toy under the x-mas tree

Plogue Bidule track. Via Plogue Bidule Experiments where you'll find more in in French. Googlish here.

Ex-Mess Electro

You can hear the track on Isotope of Me, via the forum.
"I finally had a few moments to spend in the headphones this weekend, and this little electro piece is what happened. It’s pretty cheery and a bit, um… chill, I guess (god I hate that term, but I guess it fits). DSI Evolver and Doepfer are working on bass, while various soft synths play the other parts. Samples are being played by the fantastic Short circuit 2 soft sampler. Wurlitzer EP samples and ARP string synth samples are thanks to Hollow Sun."

PICSynth V2

via picsynth on this electro-music.com thread: "PICSYNTH V2 chip is available. This allows variable pitch adjustment of oscillator 1 as well as having very accurate higher note frequencies.
Frequency modulation is now possible.

New samples on the picsynth site.

This was made by varying pitch of oscillator 1 using the new detune control, a little inspiration followed around the beating notes. Oscillator 1 is also being fed into filter cutoff frequency for interesting peaky filter effects.

I fed a LFO (sine wave) into PIN2.

The new pic18f1220 chip is cool and performs the task much better than the 16f628 did ! I hope to have a few pictures of other peoples picsynths soon.

Pro One feedback with Marshall and Steiner

"A real heavy drone with the audio routed back into the Sequential Pro One after going thru the Marshall Time Modulator. Steiner Parker Synthacon and its little sequencer doing bug sounds, while the Roland SH-7 does a resonant howl."
