MOTM E350 Morphing Terrarium stereo samples

via Paul S on AH:
"Here are 2 "knob twiddling" samples of the upcoming Euro E350 Morphing Terrarium wavetable module. The module has 3 banks of 64 wavetable each (these demos use only Bank A, a sinewave harmonic bank). The 2 audio outputs are called XY MORPH and Z MORPH. The wavetables are arranged as a 8 x 8 matrix, and the X & Y MORPH CVs index into the wavetable, while the Z is a linear index from #1 to #64. The DSP then interpolates from 2 *adjacent* wavetables. In this manner, we get ~ 4100 different waveforms per bank.

The demo uses a LFO into the MORPH Z CV input (right audio). The XY audio (left channel) is just turning the 2 panel pots.

There are a few "dropouts" when I bumped the alligator clips on the cables and 1 "noise glitch" when I jiggled the power cable trying to keep my cat Moses from jumping on the bench to investigate all the racket.

Additional info is on the Euro forum at www.muffwiggler.com (panel mockups, etc). The modules will be sold via Analogue Haven and Schneidersburo in late Nov/early Dec.

introducing "The saucer"

YouTube via DamagedMeat
"This is a short, bad quality video clip presenting "The saucer", my latest interactive art/design project.
It features a vibrating aluminium sheet, with salt on it creating patterns depending on the sound frequency.
Sound is generated by a modular synthesizer. The saucer plays sounds, displays lights and patterns as one approches it, using the theremin principle.

The possibilities are infinite and I will upload a long high quality video soon."

"short little experiment using major 2nds. Synthesizer voice one plays in whole note one measure phrases, Synthesizer voice 2 plays in whole note two measure phrases, Synthesizer voice 3 plays in whole note four measure phrases, Synthesizer voice 4 plays in whole note eight measure phrases, and Synthesizer voice 5 plays whole note ten measure phrases. There is a delay of two measures between each voice entry.
Vocals are doubled,mangled and modified. The primary vocal speaks in words elongated across two measures. The second vocal is time-stretched so that each word is spread across four measures and overlaps with the primary voice."

"This is to show you that the LFO outs are audible. There is a range selection switch: Hyper, normal, slow.
(2) outputs can be morphed with the shape knob. You can make a double saw or trapezoidal shape with those."

dual lfo take002

"This demo shows you the dual lfo being used to control a polivoks filter. The filter is put into self rezonance. The lfo is making it twirp chaotic."
