iTablaPro.m4v

YouTube via rrr00bb | February 14, 2011 |

"iTablaPro is by far the best background accompaniment available for iPad. It's perfectly suited for Mugician. It doesn't prevent Mugician from sounding right even with all features turned on at once."

ElmGen DSP Development Tool

YouTube via shiftedphase | January 13, 2011 |

"ElmGen is a DSP development tool for the Spin FV-1 effects processor IC that I developed back in 2008. I finally decided to release it for free. It includes a built-in hardware simulator for the FV-1 and an EEPROM programmer that uses an Arduino to flash real chips. All the software is free"

pg8x: virtual synthesizer

New VSTi inspired by the JX-8P in development.

via Martin Lüders' VST site

"Features:
* 6 voice polyphony
* Two DCO's with Saw, Square, Pulse, Noise
* Hard Sync and Ring Modulation
* Two exponential envelop generators
* 24 dB resonant LP filter
* HP filter (3 stages)
* Stereo Chorus

Technical information:
* Framework (GUI) in Synthedit
* Sound generation (DCOs and VCF) entirely in custom modules
o C++/Assembler
o SSE code
* 12-fold oversampled oscillator
* 4-fold oversampled filter
* Custom voice allocation

To do:
* fine tune the ADSR timings, oscillator levels, filter frequencies, etc.
* Further optimizations to reduce the CPU load
* Implement the unison modes
* Sysex support for importing JX8P patches"

My Favourite Things

"Difficult piece for an amazing client, can't say until it goes to print! The theme is 'My Favourite Things' There were strict colour limitations (4 Pantone's) and the piece has to be able to repeat.

Any constructive criticism gratefully received!"

Galileo v1.2

YouTube via UPROAR24 | February 15, 2011 |

"Galileo v1.2 has been around since 2009 and is a synth that can capture many of the old synthesizer genre sounds of the 1970's and 1980's ambience and pad Arpeggiators and delay sounds that many people try to emulate even into days music. you only have to search synthesizer music to find these types of tracks
on you tube and if this is the type of sounds you want then Galileo v1.2 is a good choose from the spooky scifi sounds to advangard. only problem is that it can sound bassy at times.

"OK get a Hang player 2 interpretive dancers a decent synth and you have instant art!

Cool and always surprising results. This is much more musical than the early Soundbeams, because you can define the scales and proportionality.

Auction includes the complete system. Main unit, power supply, two control boxes, two sensors, and all cables."

Intellijel Designs: Mutagen & Azimuth

flickr By Analogue Haven

"Here's a quick pic of the Mutagen & Azimuth, back from assembly and nearly ready to ship to us.

A rundown of the features are at the following LINK:
muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26057.

Both are incredibly flexible modules. The Mutagen is best used as a performance mixer due to the bussing, pushbutton mutes (which can incredibly also be toggled via a gate) and
convenient size. The Azimuth can be a panner, crossfader, dual vca or stereo output module.

Once Intellijel ships these who knows what else he's working on? ;)"










"Mutagen: 12HP
6x3 performance mixer
- 6 direct coupled inputs suitable for audio or CV
-each channel has a slide switch to select one of three output busses A/B/C
-each channel has a logic controlled mute. Mute generated by tactile switch or pulse/gate to the CTL inputs (pulse mode or gate mode selected by jumpers on back).
-leds show mute status
-Mute/Gate inputs accept any signal with a rising edge (could be sine, triangle, random etc.)
-Has link via ribbon cable to HexVCA

NOTE: panel displayed is a sample. They are revising them with smaller square punch outs for the switches so that they will be more flush."

"Azimuth: 8hp
-Constant power panner/stereo ballance/crossfader and dual vca
-contains an additional vactrol based stereo width circuit (allows cv control of stereo material in the range of mono->stereo->extra wide via negative cross bleed.
-Bipolar and Unipolar CV inputs for the pan control
-Leds have smooth fading for displaying pan position.

Combine all three to get a VC mixer with VC stereo controls, volume and muting.

NOTE: these three modules will go into production in approximately one week but will not be ready in time for x-mas. Should ship first week of January."

Intellijel Designs: HexVCA

flickr By Analogue Haven

"Here's a batch of the new HexVCA from Intellijel Designs.
The module will be shipping to us very soon.

Features:
- 8HP in size
- 6 channel VCA using high quality THATcorp VCA ICs.
- CV of each channel has an led monitor.
- Outputs normalled to a summed output, normals broken when taken as individual outs.
- Has inverse sum output which is useful for CV.
- Has matching link header as found on the Mutagen for linking the two modules together. The link connects the outputs of each VCA to the input normals of the mixer.
- The LEDs are color coordinated to help keep track of channels between the two.
- The knobs control the VCA offset (range -70db to 0db)
- 6 trimmers on back of the module for attenuating CV input range (or one can use an uAtt)

Special thanks to Shawn @ AH for coaxing me into making a mixer and panner. Also thanks again to Haven and James for lot's of great ideas and input."
