#############

Yudo rectools is a stereo compatible linear PCM recorder that is perfectly suited for recording live concerts, your surroundings, meetings and much more. Unlike WMA or MP3 rectools uses a linear PCM format which means that no data will get lost due to compression. The original sound will stay intact, with rectools its possible to make recordings with the same high quality as a music CD. Furthermore rectools is tested and compatible with several external 3rd party iPhone/iPod microphones. Also an optional limiter that protects you from sound deformation due to too load input and a high pass filter that filters away low frequencies is adapted. Moreover rectools includes a wave editor which makes it possible to easily process and edit your recordings."

Solar Powered "Cricket" Circuit - Phil Stearns (Pixel Form)

"Documentation:

Prototype of a VERY SIMPLE - Solar powered "cricket" circuit -

Solar cells charge two wireless phone battery packs during the day, then when it's dark the circuit starts chirping away.

The cricket is made using a single 4093 quad NAND gate and a few resistors and capacitors. Amplification provided by a single transistor, LED used to debug (no pun intended)."

New Serge M-odule Released: The 'Dual 'Q' Filter' M-odule

via Bakis

"a new Serge M-odule has been released:

the 'Dual 'Q' Filter' M-odule. Price is 1600 USD

it contains the following modules (from Left to Right):

AC-coupled 3-channel audio mixer, Variable Q VCF, Variable Q VCF, Dual VCA (one vca is AC-coupled the other vca is DC-coupled), and a Mix Processor (DC-coupled).

with that M-odule, you can create various filtering slopes (12db and even 24db, with a patch described in detail here and also, of course, you get various filter responses (BP, LP, HP, Notch). the VCFQ module has a slope of 12db/oct. the filters can be patched to self-oscillate and they have a trigger In socket, for exciting them to produce various percussive sounds. By exciting the resonant filters in 'Lo' mode, you can use them as interesting modulation sources. by combining them in parallel, you can get a twin Q peak also. or, by connecting them in series, you can get a BP filter with variable bandwidth and twin Q peaks also, etc... also you get two vca's for your audio, AM, and inter-patch modulation index needs, plus a mix processor for scaling, mixing and inverting cv's."
