The Healing /// Doepfer A100, Kaoss Pad, Virus C

YouTube via beckhusen
"Meditative track with drums, but not for sleeping ;)
The song is made with my little Doepfer A100 Modular System, the Korg Kaoss Pad 3 and Access Virus C. The drums are coming from the A100 and routed to the Kaoss Pad."

Resonant Lopass Gate Examples

"www.naturalrhythmmusic.com

Here are some samples of what you can do with the Resonant Lopass Gate PCB I offer at my website shown above. You will find commentary about this DIY project including samples of running a guitar through it, a voice through it, and music from an iPod through it. Modules used include the Oakley Sound Preamp/Envelope Follower Module, and the Lopass Gate module with a bit of TC Electronic M350 reverb at times. Songs are shown for demonstration of this module only. Thanks to Don Buchla for giving me permission to make these PCBs! A true gentleman and scholar of electronic instrument design!"

Livid Instruments Block

via Livid Instruments
"Block is a compact and programmable MIDI control surface designed for interactive audio performance. Built on the same bi-directional and adaptable platform as the Ohm64, Block provides a powerful interface for creating and interacting with sound in a small easy-to-transport body. Sixty four backlight led buttons provide endless possibilities for visual feedback with the instrument by connecting it to Ableton Live, Max/Msp, our open source sounds apps, or any other software that supports MIDI. The open source blockEditor application lets you reprogram any of the controller's sixty four clip buttons, eight knobs, two faders, and seven function buttons. Block is hand crafted from lightweight wood and aluminum for easy portability."

PlayBox and PlayLive Multitouch Instruments

"Play Live is a multi-touch user interface for Ableton Live.
Features:
* intuitive Natural User Interface
* you can control 32 tracks and 127 scenes, that are 4064 clips
* track controls are mute, solo, record, send1, send2, pan, level
* display track levelmeter, name
* scene feedback name and state
* clip feedback color, name and state
* Transportcontrol
* 2 Returns
* Master
* support bidirectional communication
* easy to setup , just load the “Play” Control Surface"

More details on Create Digital Music

"I tested it with my mac book pro, “Play Live” and “Ableton Live” is running at the same machine. It should work on all platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X). That Project started with my Diploma Thesis in Applied Computer Science 1 year ago."

Like I said in this post, the tablet pc will be the future of synth hardware.

JH. Analogue Physical Modelling Experiments

via jhaible in this electro-music.com thread:

"I'm doing some research on a physical modeling module.
I try to tie this up to my old PM experiments
( http://www.jhaible.de/jh_ana_phys_mod.html ), making a dedicated module that contains all you need for a analogue physical modelling voice. [you'll find samples there]

BBD, Waveshaper, VCA, Envelope Generator.

For accurate tracking, I try the following idea:

The board contains one of my "Living VCO" cores. The BBD, instead of having the usual HF VCO, is locked to that LVCO with a PLL and variable frequency divider.

I'm using low voltage BBDs (3207) because these are easier to come by in the long run, and their noisyness isn't a problem in a PM module, after all.

Unlike previous BBD projects, that's not a "safe" design where I expect "first time right" - I just make a PCB for myself now, to test the concept, and if I like it, I'll think of something more commercial.
