Update via wmoecke in the comments: "This synth was created and sold exclusively by DIGITONE, a company owned and operated by Mr. Christóvão Batista da Silva. It never had anything at all to do with Gianinni. Please correct."

Gianninni was a Brazilian brand that re-packaged Siel synths as you can see in these previous posts.

Original description via flickr By msxgalaga:

"DS1000 Giannini Programmable polyphonic synthesizer 80s ad from Bizz music magazine.

32 factory made presets, delay, chorus, white noise, env polarity, DCO, VCA, LFO, ADSRI e II, bender/pitch, atack/delay/sustain/release... you could create and save your own presets for 2 years in the databank. Create new voices/instruments and add various effects. Up-down digital command on display. polyphonic flute bank. Combine and mix flute, synth & string sounds simultaneously. Sounds like a lot of fun... uh? haven't seen this one being sold anywhere in while. Sorry guys for the crap image... low resolution. Maybe I'll try to get this ad properly scanned sometime in the future... Anne.etzel requested more Giannini ages ago this is why I uploaded this image.. did you notice how I hardly ever check my own flickr gallery?

Propaganda de uma revista Bizz dos anos 80.
o primeiro sintetizador polifonico de 8 vozes totalmente programável produzido no Brasil.
Esse texto é grande e eu escaneie numa resolução ruim. Depois escrevo o que diz no anuncio.

80talls brasiliansk synth, masse teknisk informasjon. Gidder ikke å oversette nå... kanskje senere"

Make Noise just shipped a batch of ModDemix modules to us. The shipment should be here around the end of this upcoming week. The ModDemix represents the continuation of the long discontinued ModDemod but with many new features. We'll update our website with pricing and more details soon.

"Mój pierwszy w życiu syntezator sprzętowy (cudo!) bede jak Tomy Lee Jones w ściganym jak Michael Jordan w Kosmicznym Meczu ;)

Na podklad pod szyny kolejowe składają się:

Partia basu i główna linia melodyczna zagrana na tym códzie natury :P
perkusja i efekty zsamplowane z bylekąd :)

Patche zaprogramowane przezemnie jak i aranżacja i mix ...."

MATRIXSYNTH is a news site. If you don't want it covered, don't put it out there. For what it's worth I have only received two requests to take content down in the last couple of years, but two is too many in my opinion. If you put it out there you usually do so to be seen. MATRIXSYNTH usually helps with that unless for some bizarre reason you put it out there not to be seen. Again: If you don't want it covered, don't put it out there. Once it is posted and people comment and link to the content, it stays up. See Creative Commons for content control.

Arduino Drum Machine Step-Sequencer / Groove-Box

YouTube Uploaded by williamkalfelz on Jan 19, 2011

'For Version 1.0.4 we added 2 Step-Note Tracks for Bass and Synth lines. This is a short demonstration of 2 patterns playing both Drums and 2 Synth Lines.

Those two new tracks, S1 and S2, have Note Selection per Step, Note-Off and Slide.

Details via kickstarter:
"The Arduino Drum Machine is a 14-track Drum-Machine Step Sequencer with 2 accent tracks and 32 steps. Check out the videos -- it's a lot easier to understand when you see it: [videos above]

The Arduino Drum Machine is like the classic Roland TR707 but with some twists, as it actually has 32 x 1/32 or 32 x 1/64 steps. The 2 note-step sequence feature allows you to do bass and/or synth lines -- it's a MIDI groove-box!

Here's a picture of the first prototype PCB: http://ruggedcircuits.com/images/adm_proto1.jpg

And here are some videos of the first prototype working with a Duemilanove:

Once we get this prototype into Wusik.com's hands we'll post a video of the whole drum machine software+hardware working together.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This project is a joint collaboration between Wusik.com and Rugged Circuits. We've taken the breadboard prototype of the drum machine shown in the videos and made it into a proper Arduino shield that plugs in on top of an Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, or Mega/Mega2560 (not included). The software performs all the drum machine functions, but you can always tweak it to do whatever you want (with the source code reward levels). We will provide sample source code at all reward levels showing basic usage of all hardware on the shield.

We've added EEPROM, FLASH, and expandability options and connectors. Suggestions from backers are welcome too (as long as they don't break the bank!)

And it's not just a drum machine: the hardware is a general-purpose MIDI development platform and playground. The awesome software from Wusik.com is what provides the drum machine functionality, but you can run any software you want on your Arduino to make use of the hardware.

Here are the project specs:

* Arduino shield (we're aiming for about 8" x 3") that plugs on top of an Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Mega, or Mega2560
* 512 kbytes of FLASH (beyond what's on the Arduino)
* 32kbytes of EEPROM (beyond what's on the Arduino), expandable to 128kbytes by adding more EEPROM chips
* 16 buttons with LED for each button
* 8 buttons for control functions (intended for up, down, left, right, shift, play, stop, record)
* 16x2 LCD with backlight
* MIDI IN and MIDI OUT interfaces
* System operation at 5V or 3.3V
* Designed to be compatible with Arduinos as well as Netduino and FEZ Panda

The Wusik.com drum machine software provides:

* 14 Drum Tracks + 2 Accent Tracks (a total of 3 MIDI-note velocities can be sent from each step)
* 2 Step-Sequence Tracks (each step has its own Note selection, Velocity is set by the accent tracks)
* Multi Pattern and Song Mode
* Number of Patterns and Songs depends on the total amount of system EEPROM -- the base system provision of 32kbytes of EEPROM has enough for 99 patterns and 99 songs
* Each pattern has 32 x 1/32 or 32 x 1/64 steps and 14 tracks + 2 accent tracks
* Each track has a note-number and MIDI-channel number, so you can also use tracks to output regular notes (one note fixed per track)
* Optional MIDI echo

NOTE: International backers (outside the USA) PLEASE ADD USD$10 to your pledge for any reward levels that require shipping physical items (that is, $50 and up). These items will ship by US Priority Mail International and usually take 6-10 days to arrive (though it is not guaranteed). Shipping by courier companies like UPS or DHL is much more expensive but allows for shipment tracking -- please contact us for prices. Also please contact us for combined shipping prices for group buys and multiple-order pledges."
