"Voyetra Eight users have been waiting for this tool for the past 25 years...
... Apple has just released iVoyetraEight v1.2 our dedicated iControlMIDI wireless iPad editor for Octave Voyetra Eight REV4.

iVoyetraEight v1.2 offers 115 parameters (not counting Page 1) on 7 Pages:
• Page 1 is dedicated to the Voyetra Eight NORMAL Page / MIDI parameters, you will love this!

- 1 click to put the Voyetra in MIDI Omni Off (as this parameter is not persistent!)
- A numeric keypad that let you change the Left Program of a Step
- MIDI Program Change parameter block to change the Left + Right Program of a Step
- Step Change parameter block
- Whole 8 button
- Split button
- Layer button
- And also MIDI dump (to your Mac / PC) request buttons for Program 00 (so after editing in the buffer you can save safely in Program 00), for Step 00 and for any Program or for any Step

• Page 2 is dedicated to VCO and PWM parameters
• Page 3 is dedicated to VCF and Envelop 1 parameters
• Page 4 is dedicated to VCA and Envelop 2 parameters
• Page 5 is dedicated to LFO and Global Modulation Matrix parameters
• Page 6 is dedicated to Modulation Matrix A and B parameters
• Page 7 is dedicated to Modulation Matrix C and D parameters

Price?
Only 2% of your Voyetra Eight current value; which represents the time we invested designing / developing / QAing iVoyetraEight; this time is valuable.
As potential users time, they will save programming their Voyetra Eight using iVoyetraEight.
This is valuable too.

Why use iVoyetraEight?
Because known to date software editors don't work with the Voyetra Eight (although they claim they do; we own those software they do not work with our Voyetra Eight).
Because the MIDI implementation is so complex that it does not allow hardware control surface or iPad software to provide an editor; for example:
- can those tools manage 256 values (for the same parameter) spread on 2 nibbles when sent to the Voyetra Eight?
- can those tools send 8 parameters / parameter values at the same time when you slide 1 parameter pertaining to a '8th-grouped parameter byte'?
Unfortunately not!
Because iVoyetraEight abstracted those technical challenges and is organized like a standard analog synth (VCO page, VCF page, VCA page, etc...) making programming the Voyetra Eight straightforward.
Because iVoyetraEight will automatically enable / disable parameters based on other parameter value (ex: you select VCO 1 wave Pulse = On; iVoyetraEight will automatically enable the PWM1 parameters) offering an even faster programming workflow."

Forbin Accenta Electronica & RADIOPHONIC EXPLORATIONS

YouTube Uploaded by JeffreyPlaide on Jun 4, 2011

"Forbin Accenta Electronica is an entirely electronically-produced experimental composition using the KX-Synth X16software synthesizer. The KX-Synth X16 is a successful and extremely flexible software re-creation of the famous EMS VCS3 Putney or various Synthi models, using a virtual pin matrix to inter-connect the various oscillators, filters and modulation effects together. For this work, twin KX-Synth X16 synthesizers were connected in parallel within the VST host. Both synthesizers responded to playing, making the sounds truely bi-timbral, with both outputs able to be recorded by the host software for later integration into a multi-track environment. Various presets were used and modified to create etheral tones. Most of the patches employ ring modulation , or were configured by the virtual pin matrix to add ring modulation and extra feedback delay to create metallic and etheral melody lines. Those who every wanted to play an EMS VCS3 or Synthi synthesizer can have a feel for what it is like playing a KX-Synth X16 VST synthesizer on their own computer. The experience is extremely satisfying and open for much exploration and experimentation. The first mix comprised a reverberant tonal line with two tracks of a lone reverberant synthesizer line with heavy short feedback delay. These tracks were mixed down to one stereo track and slowed down significantly to create a more dreamy combination. Added to this was a metallic vibration tone with very short delay and heavy feedback. This was faded in and out as appropriate to the first mix. At the end are two time-shifted tracks of a sample of the ending, looped, then progressively slowed down until a very low frequency combination is heard receding into the distance. This then concluded the composition. The final mix was twice-compressed to level out the dynamics, then this version was used for the video. The visuals comprise vintage digital and analogue computers from the last 50 years - including UNIVAC, ORACLE and other systems, including SketchPad by Ivan Sutherland and various radar systems such as SAGE. These images were colourised with painting software, then keyed over modulating derivatives of a striped pattern, or motion-tracked versions of other images. The music reminded one of the feel of the music score in the film The Forbin Project; so the title of the work pays homage to this science fiction classic. The vintage computer images help to connect the music to previous generations when the technological landscape of computer science was of a different order."
