"With 15 configurable sound effects and a user-friendly HMI

Digital Multi-Effects Unit
It’s a simple fact: every recording sounds better with the right sound effects. Here we prove that it’s possible to generate a variety of effects digitally, including hall, chorus and flanger effects, without having to work yourself to the bone with DSP programming. The circuit is built around a highly integrated effects chip and features an intelligent user interface with an LCD. The result is a treat for the eye and the ear.

Features:
- Multi-effect generator with 15 effect algorithms
- Based on the FV-1 effect processor IC
- Frequency response 20 Hz to 15 kHz
- Maximum delay time 700 ms
- 64 memory locations for preset configuration profiles
- Separate user interface
- MIDI In port
- Effect selection and parameter control via MIDI port
- Integrated ramp generator for producing attack/decay effects
- Easy assembly using standard components (except the FV-1 IC)
- Free assembler program for generating user-programmed effect algorithms"

FPGA Synth and Space Baby

"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.

Rebirth on iPad 2

futuro04 | August 17, 2010

"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..."

"Warning: very boring. Shows why Metasonix products are 'costly'. They are hand made in the USA, and the owner of the company does the final assembly and testing on every item, with his own hands."

Tech : Repaired Hartmann Neuron Synthesizer

"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.

I hope this footage helps other Neuron owners!
