"The Nothing Machine by Mr.Ugly. 2009.

This here is a homemade synthesizer of random proportions. The main control component is a single oscillator that feeds into 4 fine tuning oscillators. There is the option of switching between 4 pitch ranges from low to high, creating deep bass drones to high end computer sci-fi effects. Easy to control, impossible to predict. This is an almost entirely homemade synthesizer, so it is quite unique. Considering I didn't even copy the schematics after building this, there will only ever be this one made. A one-of-a kind! It has the following features:

-3 separate 1/4" output jacks
-circuit bent delay pedal
-operates on 9v power supply(not included)
-1 main control oscillator
-4 fine tuning oscillators
-4 separate pitch range choices
-5 glitch momentary push buttons
-8 oscillation/glitch on/off toggle switches.
-3 distortion/glitch effect knobs with on/off toggle switches"

8bitone

"8Bitone is Synthesizer and Sequencer application to simulate sounds for 8bit Personal Computer and Console Game Generator from the 80`s.

PSG and SSG vintage voices are revived here and their nostalgic electric sounds are able to be simulated with iPhone/iPodTouch.

The Sequencer part uses general Piano Roll Screen.

To operate Sound Changer properly, Synthesizer parts consist simple form of Knobs, Switchs, Sliders for easy understanding.
You can find the most suitable to learn the basic device of the synthesizer here.


★ Synthesizer
Monophonic
1 oscillator or LowBitNoise.
LFO
Envelope
HiSpeed Arpeggiator
★ Sequencer Edit
With Truck manager on Sequencer screen, Composing is easy with Piano Roll format.
In addition, Voice Change is equipped to produce different Voices in the song.
4 trucks are the maximum limit.
★ Voice Edit
The nostalgic sounds can be created here by turing knobs and operating sliders on Synthesizer screen.
In 8Bitone, a group of values which are set on the Synthesizer screen is called “VOICE”.
Each one song can contains up to 128 Voices.
In addition, playing with keyboard on the bottom of the screen can be enjoyable too.
Move the wheel to control the Pitch.
★ Edit Controller
Edit Controller on the screen right side will show 3 types of monitor.
Selection is operated by touching each of the monitor`s name.
★ Transcontroller
PLAY, STOP, COPY, PASTE, DELETE function for songs are performed in the Transcontroller.
In 8Bitone, Transcontroller will be turned on with TCR button of the screen upper part.
★ Recording
CD monoral qualitity (..wav files) can be recorded here,
However, the CD quality may not have much meaning for those electric sounds.
★ PC Sync
The recorded datas can be sent to personal computers on the same WiFi network.
They are downloadable from the WEB browser of desktop and laptop also.
You can listen by iPod and use them for beep sounds on iPhones etc."

New mQEdit link

The old link in this post went down. The link there has been updated with the new link hosted by Achim on the Waldorf list.

"as some of you have noticed, the website that mQEdit was available on has vanished some months ago and the only way to get it was the wayback archive. I have contacted Martin, the author of mQEdit, and he kindly permitted to host it at my site. As an added bonus, you'll now get the latest version 1.14."
