When you view all of the sound parameters in one logical display in easier to understand the complex interaction involved with synth programming. When you add CZ RIDER's ability to change any parameter instantly, building voices becomes quite simple. The changes are instantly sent to the synth so you can immediately hear your new sound.

The convenient editing options make it a breeze to customize existing sounds or create sounds from scratch. Now you can play any sound you imagine. Its easy to program your own voices with CZ RIDER.

YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan | September 05, 2010

"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie. The music has been made in one take with microtonal (de)tuner that i have made with Plogue Bidule. It allows to freely microtonally (de)tune each note, from C to B. It has been associated to a polysynth also made with Plogue Bidule. The discreet stereo delay effect is provided by Plogue Bidule too. Enjoy !

The Fate of the First Feature-Complete Prototype of the Harvestman Hertz Donut

via Scott Sebastian Jaeger of the harvestman on FB

"This was the first feature-complete prototype of the Donut. The PCB had some serious routing issues, so it never worked correctly and caused me a great deal of frustration. It was also the only module in my junk bin with a panel and no hop...e of rehabilitation into something musically useful.

The first shot immediately sheared all of the knobs off of the module, as the panel came away from the board assembly. Four of the pot shafts were snapped off as well. I only recovered about half of the knobs. Despite scoring two direct hits on the tact switches, I recovered most of the parts from all 5 switches. The force of the projectile impact blew most of the surface mount parts (0805 size) off of the board, I wasn't able to find any of them except for the crystal and a single electrolytic capacitor.

Load: Remington 125gr SJHP .38 Special +P (some garbage that had been laying in the back of my safe for a while). The brass and the recovered module fragments have been saved for use in an art project. I tried to pull a bullet from that tree stump but I couldn't do it without damaging the tools I had on hand."
