Doepfer A-100 Modularsytem

YouTube via SyntheticMachines | September 25, 2010

"Demo track made with the Doepfer A-100 System. This is the basic system, upgraded with the AFG Livewire Oscillator and the Doepfer A-105 SSM 24db LP VCF. All sounds made with this system. As usual, multitrack recording + some external FX."

GetLoFi Cell phone MIDI Loop Sequencer Demo 1

"This is a demonstration of the GetLoFi MIDI Loop sequencer on a Nokia cell phone. The program is a Java application that theoretically should work on a wide range of older cell phones.

DIY Fonitronik Voltage Controlled Pattern Sequencer 8 VCPS8

via electro-music.com

"The VCPS-8 is a sequencer providing one channel of gates, triggers and CV. For control there is a clock in, manual step, manual reset and a reset in. The trigger length follows the pulse width of the incoming clock signal. The reset button is an stop/reset and inhibits the sequencer as long as pushed. However the reset input creates a short reset pulse from the incoming reset gate/pulse signal to prevent the sequencer from stopping. This comes in handy when resetting the sequencer using a divider. Think about it…
And then there is a section to provide voltage control of the gate/trigger patterns: CV in, manual pattern select (offset/fine), and two LEDs indicating the limits of the CV (0v 5V). The patterns of the 8 steps are under the control of an ADC, however each step can be set manually too, to overwrite the ADC pattern if desired.

Some time ago kind fellow CJ Miller sent me some old EFM schematics to upload them to my site. One was the ADC flash, based on LED driver ICs (LM3915). I thought about the use for an ADC module for a modular synthesizer and came up with the idea of controlling the steps of a sequencer with it. But why use expensive or hard to get LM3914/15? so I utilized an ADC0801 (or even 0804) for that purpose. This IC accepts 0V-5V input, so i put a simple CV processor upfront the ADC, with two additional comparators to drive indicator LEDs for voltages greater than 5VA or less than 0c.

Spectral Tools Quick Tutorial

Spectral Tools Quick Tutorial from Martin Jaroszewicz on Vimeo.

"Spectral Tools uses a time-expansion/compression algorithm based on Jean-Francois Charles’ “A Tutorial on Spectral Sound Processing Using Max/MSP and Jitter”. It allows for extreme stretching and freeze of short samples using video matrices.

The included effects are common tools for the transformation of sounds. It can be controlled via OSC for live performances."

Xenon on iPad - "Space Break" demo

YouTube via ArtemiyPavlov | September 25, 2010

"First demo that I did with the awesome Xenon groovebox on my iPad. I especially love how the synths sound in this one, they're surprisingly good! Highly recommend this app (it also runs on iPod touch and iPhone)."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 Nearing Completion - Price Announced

Via Teenage Engineering:

"Op-1 Newsletter, Sept 25, 2010

Thank you for signing up for OP-1 news.
This Newsletter is about the OP-1 portable synthesizer from Teenage Engineering.


Project status

When it comes to functionality, 90% percent is completed and working.
Some parts of the system is still being fine tuned and optimized. Overall we are extremely happy with what we have.
The OP-1 will be shipped with 6 synthesizer engines and 2 sampler types. Pulse was shown at the NAMM show, the other synthesizer
engines are DrWave, FM, Phase, String, Digital, Cluster. Further it will include 8 effects, 3 LFO types and 3 original sequencers.
The Mixer section has a dedicated EQ and Drive as well as Master Balance and an additional Master Effect slot.
The Sequencers can be matched to the tape speed with a feature called Beat Match.
The Tape also have additional ONE-KEY features added that will be revealed at launch.


Beta test

The beta test is approaching. The beta sign up has been closed for quite some time. So wait and see if you are one of those we invite to participate.
When the beta machines will be released those invited have the option to buy a machine, get all updates and be credited in the manual.
Unfortunately we cannot give beta machines away for free or reduce the price.
We are very excited about this final phase when the feature set will be locked down and to get feedback from fresh eyes and ears.


Hardware

We just received the golden sample for the keyboard module / plastic parts from the factory. And we are very satisfied with the look and feel of it.
The complexity level of the OP-1's electronics makes component sourcing a bit tricky. As soon as we get the missing chips we will go into production with the first beta batch.
Shortly after, the first full production run will be started. So keep your fingers crossed that all this works out.


Feedback

We have got a lot of mails lately regarding the shipping date and the final price of the OP-1.
So we felt it's time for us to provide you with some details:

Estimated street price: $799 / Euro 799 (includes EC-VAT)
Estimated release date: TBA (Depending on the last components to arrive)


Where to buy the OP-1

Initially the OP-1 will be sold exclusively in the TE store (store.teenageengineering.com)

Note! Come visit us at the 2011 NAMM Show in Los Angeles."
