Update: Two vids added to the end of the playlist. Check back later in case more come in. You can check the count at the bottom of the video, currently at 6.

"just tweaking this new synth
...the AVRSYN from Elby designs.... trying to find its sweet spots.


"The AVRSYN is a monophonic "virtual analog" synth based
on the Atmel AT90S8535 microcontroller. It was originally designed by Jarek Ziembicki.
His aim was to check to see if a simple micro-processing chip could be used for sound synthesis.
Paul Maddox later adapted this design design using a
ATMEGA16 instead as the AT90S8535 is no longer in production.


I think they succeeded.

The AVR consists of
two DCO's, a DCF, and a DCA. There is also an LFO and an AR/ASR envelope generator.

All sounds are from the AVR.
Thanks to Blake C for the tweaking.

Thanks to Matt from RhythmActive for the AVRSYNTH

Akai Miniak controlling Vermona qMI

YouTube Published on Jun 4, 2012 by ISOTROPOSPHERE

"Akai Miniak to Vermona quad Midi Interface modular synth

After taking delivery of the Akai miniak and playing with it for a week or so to make sure everything was functioning as it should (used item) I set to work on a experiment.

The miniak has a great sequencer and arpeggio engine within it and I wanted to see if these features would integrate into usefulness controlling my modular synth. This is besides the intended use I have for the miniak which I wont go into at this time.

The first experiment failed and I was worried the miniak would not be useful driving the modular. After joining the yahoo user group and writing to Akai's technical service department I pondered of the path for experiment two.

Success!!! Turns out that passing the midi out from the miniak through a midi patchbay to the Vermona qMI works where direct midi line from the miniak to the qMI does not.

Now to set up the various voices on the modular in which the miniak is controlling. You will witness these in succession in the video.

Voice one: A sine wave from a Blue ZTVCO to the HEXvca and doepfer adsr to soften the gate hit.
Voice two: A four saw wave voice spread from the E340 into the EMS synthi filter (Vulcan modulated) and into the HEXvca.
Voice three: A saw wave sequence from a Tip Top Z3000 mkI into the HEXvca.
Voice four: Clock out from the qMI to Rene which is controlling a voice on the QMMG coming from the E350 Z output. This is the reverbed bongo like drums you here.
Voice five: The miniak driving a Blue ZTVCO Zodial wave through the Topobrillo wave folder being modulated by the Dalek out to the HEXvca.

Voice four through the Mutagen to the Korg KP3 and to the mixer with reverb added.

All other voices through the Mutagen and straight to the mixer. Trombone added for spice.

Liking the miniak so far, Thank You for watching!"

The Incident gTar iPhone Guitar Controller Interfaced with Ableton Live

gTar Meets Ableton

YouTube Published on Jun 2, 2012 by incidenttech
You might remember the gTar from this previous demo.

"Lots of people have been asking us whether the gTar is MIDI compatible. The short answer is yes, but we wanted to illustrate some of the exciting things it can do. Here, we've mapped the fretboard out to an Ableton Live set where it is triggering loops and one-shots.

What isn't demonstrated here is the ability to use a d-pad between the 12th-16th frets to navigate around different areas of the set. There appears to be a bit of lag with the clip triggers, but that has to do with the quantize settings, not the latency of the controller (this should be evident with the triggering of the snares).

You can secure a first-run gTar through our Kickstarter page here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/incident/gtar-the-first-guitar-that-anybody-can-pla­y

And if you're interested in learning more, check out our Facebook page: facebook.com/incidentgtar.

The demo contains a sample from Danny Daze's track "Fall Away From Love". If you're a representative for Mr. Daze, Hot Creations, or an ancillary rights holder and object to this usage, please contact us directly (info at incidenttech dot com)."

Build a 1973 Paperfaced Serge VCF on June 16th at RobotSpeak

What you get: "Serge 1973 VCF kit with 4u panel, Instruction on building, Pro QA / troubleshooting, A great time."

Full details at coa-modular
Info on the Paperfaced Serge systems here. In short: "Often donning psychedelic punk rock collaged front panels instead of something that looks like it cost a million bucks. Pretty much the original Synth DIY community. As this was on the west coast the Serge systems had banana jacks and 4u high panels."
