Living Part 3 (Roland MC 303)

YouTube Published on May 12, 2012 by ratface1987

"Part 3 of the Living series of long jam videos. Hope you enjoy. Here I'm using the MC 303 with the Korg Kaoss Pad Quad for effects.

It fell apart at the end so I decided to cut off the last five minutes and fade out instead. You get to hear the beginning of it at the end when the 303 decides to switch to a different pattern. I tried to recover after that but it was ugly... oh well.

There are some rough spots. And the the cutoff/volume knob on the MC 303 is starting to poop out on me so some of the filter sweeps freak out a little and that's why. Sometimes it actually makes a cool effect."

Xen-Arts IVOR | Microtonal Virtual Analog Synthesizer

"IVOR is a two-oscillator subtractive synthesizer that features full-controller MIDI Pitch Microtuning using MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard), where any MIDI Note Number can be freely microtuned to any desired pitch across the MIDI range, thereby enabling musicians and composers to explore the vast expressive possibilities of composing music with alternative intonation systems.

IVOR is a microtonal sound-designer's virtual analog synthesizer with a carefully designed ergonomic workflow for quickly creating powerful sounding and musical useful timbres.

IVOR excels at making categories of timbres that include bass, distortion, keys, pads, broken, weird, leads and other analog synthesis types of sounds.

IVOR is an educational tool for learning about subtractive sound synthesis and musical instrument intonation (aka microtuning and xenharmonics).

IVOR embodies a design philosophy of simplicity for microtonal music sound-design…
• A ‘knob-less’ design featuring slider controls only, which enables intuitive direct control with a computer mouse.
• A dedicated control signal system mapped to the most important synthesis functions.
• Settings are made by typing values into fields, dropdown lists, left-and-right arrows, switches and sliders.
• Enables musicians to specify precise microtonal pitch-bend settings.
• Features arbitrary microtonal oscillator transposition settings.
• Velocity modulation of harmonics enables dynamically playing harmonics of the fundamental pitch.

Features...

Oscillator Section
• Two Oscillators with 22 Waveforms
• Microtonal, Harmonic Series and Subharmonic Series Oscillator Transposition
• LFO (with Rate Sequencer) and Envelope Generator for Phase, Pulse-Width and Pitch Modulation
• LFO and Envelope Generator features both Unidirectional and Bidirectional Modulation
• Analog Pitch Drift Emulator with both Unidirectional and Bidirectional Modulation
• Velocity-to-Harmonics Modulation enables oscillators to dynamically sound harmonics of the fundamental pitch
• Ring Modulation with 23 RM Types
• Oscillator and Ring Modulator Mixer

Filter Section
• Pre-Filter Saturation Stage with 20 Saturation Types
• Two Independent Filters with Six Filter Types: LP4, LP2, HPF, BPF, BRF, APF
• One and Two Stage Filter Cascade
• LFO (with Rate Sequencer) and Envelope Generator for Filter Cutoff Frequency Modulation
• LFO and Envelope Generator enables both Unidirectional and Bidirectional Filter Modulation

VCA Section
• Dedicated Envelope Generator
• Switchable Velocity Sensitivity and Fixed Volume Control

Performance Control
• MIDI Pitch Microtuning with MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard)
• MTS Support for both Single Note and Bulk Dump
• Loads MTS Microtuning Format Files Internally and Receives MTS Externally
• Local (Per-Patch) and Global Microtuning (Static Microtuning for All Patches)
• Microtunings can be loaded from any directory on hard drives or storage devices connected to the computer
• Ten Note Polyphonic
• Monophonic Legato Mode
• Polyphonic Portamento with Three Glide Modes
• Microtonal Pitch Bend
• Vibrato
• Effects include Warm Filter and Stereo Ensemble

IVOR is a freeware 32-bit VSTi for Windows XP or higher and includes a detailed instruction manual, 98 factory patches and 54 microtonal tunings."

"For your consideration: A Dual tube wave warmer distortion module

Capable of adding warmth and sweetness to serious distortion.

Unit AB is calibrated with a gain suitable for low and line level signals.
Unit CD is calibrated for modular synthesizer levels. A trim pot on the unit CD PCB allows for gain adjustment
to suit other signal levels as well.

Each device features:

Two input channels
An input drive potentiometer for each channel
A 10-turn feedback potentiometer for precise control of warmth/distortion/oscillation
A main output potentiometer

An additional Sum output combines the main output of both units.

Interplay between the drive, feedback and output controls allow for a wide range of tube effects from
adding warmth and punch to your signal to obliterating it into sickening oscillation.

High quality powder coated, laser cut and infilled 3mm panel
High quality sealed Bourns conductive plastic potentiometers
High quality black aluminum knobs
RG-174 shielded cables on all signal paths
Switchcraft jacks
One of a kind

(4) rack screws with protective washers provided to eliminate rack rash
MOTM style power cable provided (+/-15V)
5U height, 2U width"
