contrOSC software demo

contrOSC software demo from Malte Steiner on Vimeo.

"contrOSC is a middleware to bridge hardware DAW midicontrollers to OSC (Open Sound Control) enabled software like PD, CSound or SuperCollider, so you can easily create patches which communicates with the devices. The first implemented one is the C4 by MACKIE (tm).
The free open source application is created by Malte Steiner and available at Sourceforge under a GPL 3 license:

controsc.sourceforge.net

Demopatches for CSound and PD are included."

CRAZY ASS UPDATE!!!

We have a new auction item for the contest. See the second update in this post.

DCAM Synth Squad

DCAM Synth Squad Overview
"DCAM: Synth Squad finally delivers the satisfaction of playing real analogue instruments in software! Advanced modelling technology carefully reconstructs the soul of dusty vintage circuits within your computer, for the unmatched vibe of hardware at a fraction of the cost.

At the heart of DCAM: Synth Squad are 3 modelled synthesizers - Strobe, Amber and Cypher - bulging with the immense weight and power of old-school analogue. These are no mere emulations stunted by the limitations of the past. Instead, they combine the best features from legendary machines with new and exciting ideas to drag them kicking and screaming into the modern world.

Oscillators ooze immense sound pressure, amp stages can be overloaded for extra grit, and real-world chaos can be dialled into the circuit for delicious instability. These synths don't break with extreme settings, so you can abuse them just like the real thing. Meanwhile, the intuitive TransMod modulation system brings your sounds to life in new and expressive ways.

Fusor, a versatile sound-design environment that can layer and keysplit 3 instances of the DCAM synths, is also included. It provides a variety of ways to add new dimensions to your sounds with high-quality FX, extra modulation and an advanced step-sequencer/arpeggiator."

via Damian who has the following to say on the suite:
"1) The first or one of the first synth packs with proper audio-rate
modulation. You get to use LFOs that are tens of kHz on the VCA or the
filter cutoff and it sounds as it actually should.
2) New SVF model, sounds better than anything out there right now
3) Cypher has awesome oscillator intermodulation
4) Amber is probably the first *true* emulation of a string machine,
with the divide-down circuit emulated etc. And it has a formant filter
5) Strobe has the most amazing filters - an Xpander is a foretaste of
that, but you're not limited by slow 100 hz modulation
6) Fusor allows you to layer them and add all sorts of crazy filters
and modulation
7) They support polyphonic aftertouch - yay!
8) Not that expensive and runs on older hardware
9) More knobs, sliders, XY pads and modulation than you can shake a stick at!"

SYB-5 Bass Synthesizer [BOSS Sound Check]

YouTube via BOSSchannel
"Utilizing the latest in DSP technology, the SYB-5 faithfully reproduces the fat and sharp sound characteristic of classic analog synthesizers. The 11 internal synth sounds are based on combinations of three oscillator waves (Saw, Square, Pulse) and filters that fluctuate according to the envelope and LFO changes. The external pedal input means that bassists can put their foot into the performance by connecting an EV-5 Expression Pedal (sold separately) to control the filter and LFO rate."

Red VCO PCB Demo

Red VCO PCB Demo from BLCLONES on Vimeo.

"A midi to CV converter is used to play a Full Scale Sequence to show you the Excellent Tracking. First run is a SAW wave, then a Square Wave, next a Triangle wave, then (2) VCO's to show tracking, and finally a Linear FM patch between (2) red VCO's." BLCLONES on Ebay
