VSP-330 Voice Synth Plus beta VST (VP-330)

YouTube via FlakeStick | February 23, 2011 | Update: video re-uploaded below.

"A beta version sound test of my Voice Synth Plus VST plugin. It's not going to replace the original Roland VP-330 strings and choirs, but it's the next best thing and then some.

VST Plugin Features:
- Choir selectable Male 8', Male 4' and Female 4' across all keys.
- Strings selectable 8' AND 16' Bass (the 16' string was not on original)
- Built-in ensemble mod can be switched on/off for choir and strings.
- Envelope attack for each Choir and String. Env release is shared like on the original.
- Choir and String level controls.
- Up to 16-voice polyphony depending on your computer.
- Of course MIDI and patch save.

This is a beta version so the GUI is minimal. Better graphics will come w/ future versions.

The audio was recorded in Cubase on three tracks w/ no other processing added - ALL VSP-330! I added some pics of a real VP-330 to the video for fun."

"Coming soon from Malekko, the next in their line of compact utility modules, is the 4 HP VCA. The VCA is a simple but good sounding dual VCA at an affordable price. Each half has an audio input and output, a CV input with atttenuator and a pushbutton for switching between linear and exponential modes. This module should be shipping within the next couple of weeks.

"Here is a photo of partially assembled Metasonix iCunt (TX-3) boards. We look forward to having the pedal in-stock sometime in April or May. The retail price will be $500. We'll update our website when we have further info."

Decided to at least keep the title of the post work safe for the slackers. :) Then again, there's no slacking browsing MATRIXSYNTH!

via Doepfer
"Module A-154 is a supplement to the A-155 Analog/Trigger Sequencer module. It offers a lot of new features that are not available in the basic control unit of the A-155. The A-154 is used to replace the control unit of one or two A-155, i.e. the section marked "Control" with Start / Stop / Step / Reset buttons and inputs in the upper left corner of the A-155 front panel. If the A-154 is used to control the A-155 the control section of the A-155 is put out of action.

These are the features of the A-154:

"A short silent movie which shows the avail of a MIDI controllable Matrix for modular synthesisers."

Update via jochen in the comments: "Novation Lauchpad isn't important here! It´s the MIDI-controllable Matrix for modular Synthesizers. It is planned as a MIDI-device for all modular formats. The Launchpad just visualized the MIDI-control perfectly here. An iPad could be even nicer for some people!"
