Simple intermodulating line to prove they are all compatible and like each other :-)...

Raspberry Pi UI Update

via the Raspberry Pi Blog
(see the before pic here)
"I think this is done, and the design exposes enough underlying modulation flexibility to get lots of interesting sounds out of it. Now I need to tweak the code to represent all the new LEDs and tweak the existing LED positions in the overlay geometry to align with the rendered underlay. Should be done before the end of Saturday, tomorrow I'm on other stuff.

Note the VCA block, 'EG2=>A' and 'EG2=>B' - this is to allow stealing of the noise EG (EG2) to allow each oscillator to ramp independently. Both OSCs (in fact everything) is still envelope shaped by EG3 right st the end of the signal chain, but earlier on during modulation EG2 can now be applied to one of the OSCs. This could give some really interesting richness if a more harmonic-rich wave is ramped up slightly more slowly than the other, harmonic-poor wave, to add yet more movement to the attack. Experimenting with this by pulling on the OSCB slider while hitting notes leads me to believe that this could be a killer feature.

Here's an interesting observation for those who can count - notice that every modulation template (the stuff enclosed by blue lines on the right) has 16 options - 2x2x4 or 4x4. So every template is just one of 16 possibilities, 7 templates (VCA, phase, pitch, filter, LFO0, LFO1, MOD/CHANPR) so just 7 switch statements and a tiny burst of multiply-accumulates and I'm done. So the new modulation matrix code should be way, way quicker than the old one. I just need to write it ..."

New Phonec VST Funk Audio Demo

Phonec VST Funk by ramjetproductions

"Audio demo of new VST software synth from Psychic Modulation.

7 instances of the synthesiser in track with no added effects on bass, chords, pads or stabs. Drums from Cubase Groove Agent and Reel People v 3 drum samples. Real guitar by me. All synths played with Roland Midi Guitar GI-20 interface. www.ramjetproductions.co.uk"

"Phonec is best described as an 'analog flux synthesizer'. Inspired by the mystique of video logo synth scores from worn out VHS tapes, Phonec was primarily designed with character in mind. However Phonec is capable of producing a wide range of sounds such as vintage analogue tones, lo-fi synthscapes, ethereal pads, minimal techno sequences, and synthwave leads and basses. Phonec has an intuitive GUI that attempts to strike a balance between form and function, making it a very usable tool that can be a real inspiration to work with. Apart from it's unique character and smooth workflow, Phonec has several interesting features that set it apart from the crowd. Here is a brief overview that highlights the most important aspects:

Dual oscillators that can be combined in various ways
Analog style oscillator drifting
A unique Melt feature that adds instant character to any patch
Arpeggiator
Accent Sequencer
3 LFOs (2 monophonic, 1 polyphonic)
HFO (High Frequency Oscillator)
2 Modulation Envelopes
Echoshifter Delay Unit
Universal Value Display
Double Click Parameter Reset
128 presets"

Logan string melody meets the elkorus

Published on Sep 27, 2012 by wutierson

"This day, the Logan string machine visits Wutierson studio and it's imposible to don't do experiments with an elkorus.
The different types of chorus available at the Logan are very useful. It makes more versatile to process.
Tweaking the elkorus parameters + the Logan chorus I can make even more deep and lush chorus... ensemble of ensemble! a six line chorus! : )
No more effects are present, it's just Logan + elkorus v3"
