DroneStation 1.1.0 Now Available...

via Analog Industries

"UPDATES:

1. Tilt controls filter cutoff, in user-selectable amount.

2. New user interface. (Now with 100% more blobs.)

3. Help screen added.

4. Note name/frequency bug fixed.

5. Now (should) work fine with iPhone OS 2.2.1 or greater. This means that (theoretically) people that had the "you can't use this on your Touch because you don't have a mic" bug should be able to buy and use the app now. If one of those people would grab it and let me know if that's actually the case, I'd be much appreciative.

6. Added a 1/8th inch-wide dead space between the left-hand controls and the right-hand control, to lessen accidental triggering.

The upgrade is free and available in the usual manner (via in-device upgrade or iTunes upgrade) if you do already have it. Still $1.99."

On iTunes here. A search on DroneStation here brings up demos and videos previously posted.

Largo Sunday Tracks via Stefan Trippler

via Stefan on the Waldorf list:

"http://www.trippler.net/files/largo115/backlash.mp3

That's just one "auto-playing" 4 layer patch, controlled with modwheel,
aftertouch and pitchbender.
Not very useful, but funny anyway.

And now that it's snowing here, three fitting cold Largo sounds:

Chaos Matrix Programmer Official Site

follow up to this video.

You can find full details on the project here.

"Chaos Matrix is a programmer for an Oberheim Matrix 1000 analog synthesizer built by Patrick Manderson. It's capable of manipulating all 126 voice parameters including 10 programmable matrix modulations buses, ramp generators, 5 point tracking generator, 3 five stage envelopes, 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs, and much more.

It features edit buffer synchronization for visual feedback and inspection of all Matrix 1000 voices parameters, patch compare, patch init, advanced performance options for some parameters as well as containing all 1000 original patch names. Seeing patch names instead of numbers alone, makes it a lot easier to remember your favorites.

Chaos Matrix is currently a work in progress and is nearly complete. It was built with help from the MBHP (MidiBox Hardware Project) using the MIOS operating system. It uses 1 DIN module, 1 AIN module, 1 DOUT module and 1 core with a PIC18F4620 microprocessor along with a custom application built with the C skeleton interface."

Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Guide by Anu Kirk

Spotted this one via this auction

"Fully operational & in excellent condition with power adaptor and manual. The manual isn't very informative and I strongly suggest all owners of the Evolver to read this guide:

[The Definitive Guide to the Evolver]
http://www.carbon111.com/evolverguide.pdf

Features:
* Monstrous four oscillator voice architecture.
* True stereo signal path with separate Curtis analog low-pass filters in each channel.
* Dedicated onboard effects (feedback, delay, distortion, high-pass filter, etc.).
* 16 x 4 step sequencer really brings the Evolver to life with evolving “pseudo-polyphonic” sounds – you won’t believe it's mono!
* Stereo audio input for audio processing of external stereo or mono signals, enabling the synth to act as a unique stereo effects processor.
* Everything (sequencer, LFOs, and delay) syncs perfectly to MIDI.
* Easy-to-navigate matrix-style interface for quick editing and real-time control of 8 parameters simultaneously.
* Multiple Evolvers can be daisy-chained for more polyphony."
