CHIMERA BC16

via this auction
"BLURB FROM THE SITE-
The bC16 miniature patch synthesizer packs a fully featured VCO, LFO, envelope generator, analog VCA, analog VCF, noise sources & ring modulator all in a CD sized case CNC machined from 10mm high-grade acrylic plastic.

Fifteen color coded potentiometers control key functions, connections between synthesizer sections are done using twenty-five 2mm mini-banana sockets.

Powered by either six AAA batteries or by an external (not supplied) 9 to 12v source, the bC16 can be used free standing (internal headphone amplifier), linked to an external keyboard/sequencer or MIDI-CV converters, combined with other bC16's, etc...


VCO: The complex VCO (actually two linked VCO's) waveshape can be adjusted through sine/triangle/sawtooth and square wave (with adjustable dutycycle). The VCO can be CV modulated (log response), FM modulated (linear response) or can be driven by MIDI NOTE values. The two linked VCO's can be offset using a control knob, CV or MIDI for rich complex tones.

LFO: Like the VCO the LFO is actually two linked low frequency oscillators with a host of modulation possibilties and waveshapes. Like the VCO the LFO can also be controlled via MIDI.

VCF: An all analog 24dB discrete ladder filter with variable cuttoff (knob and CV), adjustable resonance, specially designed to work from the low voltage busses in the bC16.

EG: The bC16 envelope generator is very easy to use, four knobs (or via MIDI) control the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release parameters of the envelope. Set sustain to zero and the EG enters repeat mode for long VCS3 style modulation possibilites.

VCA & HEADPHONE AMP: An analog voltage controlled amplifier is provided along with an built-in headphone amplifier (volume control via grey knob).

MIDI INTERFACE: An enhanced internal MIDI interface allows control (monophonic) of:
NOTE to VCO FREQUENCY
ENVELOPE triggering (patchable trigger output)
PITCHBEND (including pitchbend amount via RPN)
PORTAMENTO on/off
PORTAMENTO rate
MODULATION (bC16 has modulation output)
REMOTE/OVERRIDE control of 12 of the 15 knobs via CC# and/or NRPN

ARPEGGIATOR: An internal arpeggiator allows you to control arpeggio's (rising, falling, rising/falling, ordered) via either an internal clock (20 to 6,000 BPM) or via an externally supplied MIDI CLOCK (BPM/2 to BPM x24)."

via Impostor

"Synthwood Pro One, an MS-20 controller, Novation Nocturn, Arturia Analog Factory Experience keyboard and some Apple equipment. I’ve since bought a beautiful Jupiter 4 which you can see in the attached photo. Its very much old meets new and will be more so when I get myself an iPad."




Synth Core A


"'Synth Core A' is a development board I designed to create my own audio synthesizers. It is composed of a 32bit microcontroller with DSP features, a CPLD , and other standard elements usually found on synthesizers like MIDI, potentiometers, LCD, stereo DAC, USB ... The initial idea when I started the project, was to design a board with most part of the hardware and drivers I would need to create my custom medium range audio synthesizers. Having the board and the most important drivers ready will allow me focusing on the pure audio and interface design tasks every time I develop a new system."

YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan — April 18, 2010 — "Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made with Plogue Bidule sequencing 2 Doepfer Dark Energy. The sounds of these 2 Doepfer Dark Energy has been reintroducted into Plogue Bidule in order to permit the 2 Doepfer Dark Energy to frequency modulate together. Plogue Bidule plays also the solo synth. The all thing has been made in one take and has been a bit edited with Audacity (short stereo delay and pitch downshifting added). Enjoy !"
