"Demo of my FPGA-based subtractive synthesizer that I am working on. It is being processed by the Space Baby digital delay. Percussion is from Audio Damage Tattoo. The synth is running on a Spartan 3E development kit. I am using software faders to control synth parameters off screen over MIDI.
"The first session with Rebirth on an iPad. I had only one hand free an sound is recorded by iPhone. It just demonstrates that its useable in sync with other gear. The iPad clock seams to bee stable and precise (what I expected). Just the initial "Play" hit on iPad is a little bit difficult to set by touch. Its a matter of tryout..."

YouTube via adiblasi | August 15, 2010 inside a Hartmann Neuron "http://www.Alfred.TV READ ME FIRST: In this video, we document the amazing kludge job that was beautifully executed by AdamB to get the Hartmann Neuron Synthesizer in working order due to failed capacitors on the motherboard and power supply.
This synthesizer is a great example of how a PC compliant system was used as an 'embedded system' that was at the hart of this synthesizer. I had given Adam constraints NOT to drill through the metal base of the synth -- which would have facilitated mounting and avoided the glueing of screws, but I didn't want a drill taken to the synth.
Without doubt, this is NOT for the 'faint of heart', and there was quite a bit if guesswork, but in the end, it did work.
