Patch Tutorial 1

"Some things I forgot to mention:

-The envelope controlling the lowpass filter is set with high attack, decay, sustain, and release.
-The pitch VC to the lowpass filter is inverted but heavily attenuated.
-I used no resonance and the notch filter was turned all the way down.

Sorry, the sound quality could be better. I'll use a higher bitrate next time."

Music Thing on Hiatus

And this is what I woke up to today. This is a sad day for us fans. Music Thing along with Create Digital Music and Analog Industries were the first music blogs I visited and still the top three in my opinion.

They also helped me during rough times - site issues and figuring out how to find the balance in blogging. I will always be thankful of Tom for his support, guidance and of course a few beers in London last summer! :)

Read Tom's post on why he is taking and indefinite break. Although, I am definitely crossing my fingers that MT will come back one day, I congratulate Tom on his success and wish him the best. Sometimes you just need a break and a change in perspective. Family and life should always come first.

Tom, thank you for Music Thing, your support and the great memories. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see you online or in person again one day.

cheers,
matrix

GCe2 // GestureSynth

GCe2 // GestureSynth from Mouse & the Billionaire on Vimeo.
"Here's an example of the GCe2 (Gestural Controller - Exploration 2) in use with an application called GestureSynth. Tilting to the left and right lowers and raises the pitch, respectively. Tilting back applies a chorus effect, and squeezing the expression pads on the side creates a flange.

Thanks for watching."

Rare Blue Utility LFO

via VICMOD where you will find one more shot [see update below].

snip via Elby Designs, The Panther Series CGS758 - Utility LFO where you will find the full description:
"This module is a dual utility LFO offering manually variable wave shapes. Standard waveshapes are falling ramp variable through triangle to rising ramp, and variable pulse width. A fixed square wave is also available, as is a combination waveshape that is variable between the TRI/SAW output and the SQUARE. This is a MIX not a morph. Two switches allow the variable outputs of the two LFOs to be intermixed.

The Utility LFO is based on the standard integrator/schmitt trigger oscillator core. Two pots in the integrator charge path allow for the adjustment of speed, and along with two diodes, for the adjustment of
charge versus discharge time. Changing this ratio will allow the TRI/SAW output to be adjusted from a falling ramp through triangle to a rising ramp. At the same time, the output of the schmitt trigger will reflect this in the length of its output pulse."

Update via reSEQUENCer in the comments:
"Hey Matrixsynth, that's my Christmas present in the VICMOD photo. The kit was under the tree, then in my rack a couple of days later. Plays well with the Steiner Filter, ChaQuo & Roland 100m. Cheers, reSEQUENCer"
