Setup is JM Lemur, connected to a mac laptop running Ableton and Max/MSP Clip launcher template. Currently my set has about 500 samples and loops in ableton, that I can trigger via the Lemur. Full set is a hour long ...

Some of these patch names are truly hilarious e.g. "Flute Played by a Celestial Nymph". Classic!
If anyone knows of an unsecured version of this patch manual and the original user's manual, please let me know - these files can't be printed out it seems..."
"I have designed a synthesizer made of only filters. There are no oscillators in the design at all. It is also up to 32 voice polyphonic. I call it PolyDrum.
It has 32 state variable filters and 32 single pole IIR filters and is implemented on a $39 FPGA development board.
The state variable filters form "resonators" and the single pole filters form exponentially decaying envelope generators. The envelope generators modulate the Fc input of the state variable filters to provide a variety of pitch modulation effects.
Each resonator is frequency, Q, EG and MIDI note number programmable. More than one resonator can be programmed to respond to a given note number - but all of the resonators responding to the same note number will begin their sound with a synchronized pulse
EDIT ADD 2009-12-05: I should have added that the instrument is played (MIDI) by sending an impulse to any resonator that receives a match between the note played and the resonator's note number map (assignable). If the Q values are large enough, it will be very tonal with a long sustain."

Europa hardware MIDI sequencer demo with blofeld & dr670
* Intuitive and simple programming procedure * No sub-menus or shift keys - one function per key * Simple to use - TR808/606 style programming. * Analogue features - analogue tempo clock, 7 analogue trigger outs, analogue sync signals * Live editing features * Transpose, Octave shift, Mute * Rugged steel construction.
Europa is a hardware sequencer, it does not contain a 'sound engine'. It has been designed from the ground up to be utilised with your MIDI synths, analogue modular, drum brains and drum machines." "Eurpoa was designed to be utilised with our SQ8 and Oberkorn analogue sequencers (and anything else with a compatible clock input).
Either use the main sync out or one of the seven trigger outputs to clock your analogue sequencers. Have them step whenever you like by programming triggers into the Europa sequencer. You can have 2 sequencers play alternately. You can mute the track so the Oberkorn/SQ8 sequencer stops! Use another trigger and you can activate the reset feature of the Oberkorn/SQ8!"
