Arduino Modular Synthesizer Demo

YouTube via davitr0n
"All sound is being generated by the arduino. The only thing the computer is doing is power and recording.

Demonstrated in this video:
2 voltage controlled square wave oscillators
1 envelope (also can be controlled by voltage)
1 clock (speed controlled by voltage)
1 sequencer (S&H voltages)

Two of the knobs are controlling VCO pitches and the last is helping send voltage to the S&H sequencer.

There's still another envelope on it that can be used as an LFO.

We are in the progress of designing an interface so a lot of parameters are hard coded in due to lack of components. We'll do another demo soon with everything connected. It should be a beast by then.

Talks of selling such a device have come about, also. Stay tuned to learn more."

ADASYNTH Prototype Demo

WavedrumX + Modular

WavedrumX + Modular from katavist on Vimeo.

"Just some attempts at creating a bit of aural atmosphere. I'm not a drummer or percussionist, so forgive my dilletante dabbling. I had taped an Eowave ribbon sensor onto the Korg WavedrumX for pitch modulation (via A-177 foot controlled CV/gate-source). I used a Roland expression pedal for rate modulation of the f(h) SoS delay module and a Doepfer A-179 (Light-to-CV) for controlling cutoff of the A-124 Wasp-Filter."

YouTube via musotalk
"Video in High Quality auf http://www.musotalk.tv

Der SPL DrumXchanger nutzt die Technik des Transient Designers zur Erkennung von Drum-Hits. Dabei sollen Anschläge unabhängig von der Dynamik erannt werden, sogar Ghost Notes. Bei der Ersetzung fügt der DrumXchanger die Samples phasengenau in das Originalsignal ein. Wahlweise kann man das Sample dem Originalsignal auch zumischen.

Der DrumXchanger wird laut SPL Website 356,- Euro kosten (laut David ca. 390,- Euro) und als Plugin im RTAS-, VST- und AU-Plugin für Windows und OSX erhältlich sein. Der Veröffentlichungstermin der finalen Version steht noch nicht fest, wahrscheinlich aber noch im April 2010. Weitere Informationen und Screenshots findet ihr auf der Produktseite von SPL.
