"Noodling around. Out of batteries for digital recorder so sound is from camera. :-(

This is just two unfiltered MOTM-300 VCO pulse waves slightly pulse width modulated being driven by two different MIDI to CV interfaces (Synth Tech and Moon Modular) The delays are Modcan and COTK."

STRINGSTATION PROJECT on Kickstarter

via Kickstarter where you'll find additional details.

You might remember the StringStation from previous posts here on MATRIXSYNTH. I met creator Jim Bartz at the Pacific Northwest SynthFest. The StringStation is a beautiful instrument and may look like a guitar, but it can also be used as a MIDI controller for your synths. You can find a couple of videos from the event here and here.

"Join In To Build An Innovative Computer Controlled 40-Stringed Instrument...

A string's intrinsic ability to express a more instantly controllable nuance and dynamic of tone is indisputable. This new instrument advances that extraordinary aspect and innovates with combinations of new technology and an interactive control surface that's a joy to play.

The final StringStation designs are exquisite, opening an exploration into music and 3D sound architecture like no other instrument before. Here is a hi-tech instrument of 12 distinct string groups on one play surface, intertwined, digitally tuned and set into 3D resonance control. It allows a spatial interactive array of live strings to be focused and creatively enhanced... crafting scores of exotic 3D sound.

The StringStation is unique to see... but it is genuinely about the sounds it will create. It is my passion to bring the full potential of this amazing 3D music instrument to light..."

DSI Tempest - smooth funk test run

"Running another little test on the Tempest with some smooth synth funk patterns.

Not much of a performance again. Barely scratching the surface with half the pads and simple transitions. Mainly aiming to test some nice, smooth sounds with it.

All sounds and patterns programmed from scratch. Raw output from the Tempest. No effects or editing."
