iFS1R v1.2 Wireless iPad Editor Now Available‏‏

"Apple has released iFS1R v1.2 for Yamaha FS1R, a free upgrade for all iFS1R v1.1 users.

iFS1R v1.2 offers:
- a redesigned look & feel for enhanced readability plus some very tiny UI adjustments to make the workflow even better
- parameter default value buttons. In v1.2, if you touch the parameter value label, it resets the label and slider to a default value (ex: Operator Coarse Frequency = 1.00, Operator Fine Frequency = 1.00, etc...) for each parameter... this is the fastest workflow you'll ever get in sound designing!
- iFS1R automatically enables / disables the relevant parameter set based on some parameters values (ex: Wave = Formant enables the formant parameters and disables the other non-formant parameters) to help you master the unit."

MeeBlip Reloaded

via MeeBlip
"We’ve updated the MeeBlip DIY hacker kit after receiving lots of feedback from builders. The biggest change (apart from the color) is that the I/O jacks are now mounted on the bottom of the board. This will make it much easier to mount in a case or behind a panel. There are a number of other tweaks, too:
A new power switch on the top right of the panel
We’ve upgraded to a 1 Amp 7805 voltage regulator
The MIDI Channel DIP switch has been moved to the bottom rear edge of the board
We’ve removed the USB power connector and 3.5 mm audio jack
Analog and digital grounds are now split at the DAC for lower noise

We’ve also reduced the price to $69. The Full Board Kit includes the circuit board, components, programmed microcontroller and knobs. You can use your own 9 VDC power supply, or get one of our regulated wall warts for $9.

Does not include a case or panel overlays — that part is up to you. Be sure to share photos of your creations in the forum!

MeeBlip kits and accessories are available on our Get One page."

YUSynth Saw Animator D.I.Y Module

YouTube Uploaded by kenzie2029 on May 13, 2011

"Here is my first DIY module for my modular synthesizer. It was made from a kit I bought from Bridechamber and the panel was custom built in the synthesizers.com format which matches the vintage Moog modular synthesizer.

The Module is called the YUSynth Saw Animator. Here is the description from Yusynths website: The Saw Animator module is a very interesting module when you whish to get that FAT sound, usually obtained with two or more sawtooth VCOs, but you are short of VCOs. You can get this typical sound with only one sawtooth VCO, thanks to Bernie Hutchins (JAES, 1981). The Digisound 80 has this wonderful module and Scott Bernardi designed a version of its own. The present module is a somehow simplified but yet efficient version. To get the best of this module, it must be used in conjunction with a mixer. I chose not to integrate a mixer within the module in order to benefit from the dry outputs which are very useful when used with a LFO instead of a VCO. When used with a sawtooth LFO and inputing fixed CVs in the MOD inputs, one can achieve some interesting phase shifted modulators such as quadrature modulation. Well the possibilities are numerous and it's up to your imagination."
