"The Prophet-12 is a hybrid synth: four digital oscillators (that are capable of analog modeling as well as wavetable and vector-appropriate digital waveforms), but analog filters and envelope section. In Dave Smith's own words, it's the best synth he's ever designed. Find out why he thinks so as editor Stephen Fortner goes hands on."

Frankensnail - Ready To Rumble

Published on Jan 25, 2013 elohess2·74 videos

"Next Circuit Bending toy is ready. It's again one of th Vtech snail. I've collected a lot of them and plan to join all in "band". Each snail should be different and will have an own name.

This is 'Franksnail'.

Powered by an Arduino sequencer and modulated with signals from some simple CMOS oszillators (Lunettas). This is only a feature demonstration. I've done this video for myself, cause I often have the problem to remember after a while how the toys work, when I use them again after month. :-) The sequencer is based on a source I've written as a plattform for a simple, timing stable sequencer for the Arduinos"
