Xenharmonic FMTS VSTi

"Xenharmonic FMTS is a 4 Operator FM Synthesis VSTi with a specialized set of features for musicians interested in exploring the expressive possibilities of microtonal and xenharmonic music making.

Microtuning Features
* Internally loads and externally receives both MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard) Bulk Dump and Single Note Microtuning Files.
* Operator ratios can easily be set to values that are coincident with the microtuning being used, thereby producing tuning related FM sidebands in the timbre of the instrument.
* Isoharmonic spacing of the operator ratios.
* Precise values may be set for microtonal pitch-bends.
* Arbitrary microtonal period shifting makes it possible to pitch transpose in both octave and non-octave increments.

FM-RM Oscillator
* 4 Operator FM Synthesis with Ring-Modulation.
* 57 Operator Algorithms.
* 11 different Operator Waveforms.

Phase & Pulse-Width Oscillator
* 22 Waveforms.
* Phase & Pulse-Width LFO Modulation.

Envelope Generators
* 6 independent Envelope Generators dedicated to modulating Operators A-D, Filters and VCA.
* Velocity sensitive.
* Keyboard tracking.

Filters
* 2 State Variable Filters with 12 and 24 dB response.
* Cutoff frequencies modulated by Velocity, Envelope Generator, LFO and Keyboard Tracking.
* Low Frequency Oscillators can be set to modulate the cutoff frequencies of the filters at audio rates, thereby producing sidebands in the signal.

Effects
* Saturator for subtle to extreme distortion.
* 6 dB LPF Warm Filter.
* 4-Voice Stereo Ensemble Detuner.

This VSTi is a gift to the xenharmonic and microtonal community, as well as to musicians and composers who are interested in exploring the exciting possibilities of microtuning in their music. It is being offered as freeware and can be downloaded here"

"www.homegrownps.com
In this video, we demonstrate how you might be able to incorporate some of our fx onto a simple rhodes loop..
Signal flow is as follows, Rhodes-Crunch-Vibro Trem-Triple Twister.
Due to some parts of audio being very subtle, viewing this video in HD mode is highly recommended..."

"In this shot, you can see the Eurorack system, which acts as Time Square, where Ableton Live interfaces with the modular and other analog devices through the Eurorack system (via the Cwejman AI-2s in the lower righthand corner, next to a pair of Make Noise Pressure Points with Brains. Above that is the TipTop row, with a Z8000 sequencer, a pair of Z3000 MK2 VCOs, and a Z-DSP). Also patched in is Schippman Ebbe und Flut, Mungo Sync, OTO Biscuit, Pigtronix Echolution and a Zerotronix Min-LE passive spring reverb. In the left foreground is a Monome 256 running Stretta's Monome suite for Max For Live, and glowing off to the right is an ancient Cooper MSB 16/20 MIDI patchbay....."

"Just a quick test of my new sequencer. Only one row of the sequencer is used and only one module is used. Sequencer: Doepfer MAQ 16/3. Module: Doepfer A-111-5. Plus a heavy amount of delay."

Roland MKS80 rackmount synth w/ MPG80

via this auction
"The MKS80 is Roland's rackmount version of the popular Jupiter series and is similar to the Jupiter 6 and Jupiter 8. One of the fattest and most versatile synths ever made. It features 8 voices of polyphony with 2 great sounding analog oscillators per voice, classic Roland filters, 2 envelope generators, and tons of routing and modulation possibilities. Perfect for pads, leads, bass, or anything you could imagine. It's been used by artists such as Vangelis, Vince Clark, and the Pet Shop Boys. Also included is the MPG programmer which breaks out all the controls onto one panel and makes creating and editing sounds a breeze. This unit was recently serviced by the techs at The Analog Lab, NYC's premiere store for vintage synth and pro audio sales and repairs, so you'll be getting a fully cleaned and calibrated synth."
