Step Sister prototyping part 2. Now with badass overdrive wave shaping and other bits.

Published on Feb 13, 2013

"For part 1, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWsOy... [posted here]

So i've added a bit to the Step Sister since yesterday that i thought was worth sharing. It now has a waveshaper that squares of the saw wave but also overdrives the input to the filter, yummy. I have also added the Attack and Release controls to the envelope that were mentioned in part 1. This test version is shown running 4 steps for a bit of variety but the finished version will be selectable up to 10 steps. Enjoy.

It should eventually be available to buy from my Etsy and Folksy shop and if its not nightmarishly complicated to build, a kit version too.

E Theremin -- Electro Theremin

"I'm sure that you think that E Theremin is a theremin... It seems to be a mix between a monophonic synthesizer with 3 oscillators (osc2 unison), 4 waveforms and an Ondes Martellot... E Theremin is a little bit too minimal... A good little App with a very good sound quality."

Grendel Formant Filter - Voltage Language

"Demonstrating synthesis of vowel sounds using the Grendel Formant Filter Eurorack module. This 100% analog filter allows voltage-controlled selection of English vowels from a 2-dimensional map. The map corresponds to the International Phonetic Alphabet vowel chart, a.k.a. the vowel trapezium.

In this video, an analog joystick with X and Y CV outputs is used to control the filter module. Two channels of MIDI-CV converter may also be used. The module is designed to accept CV sources with 5 volt range. Either -2.5 .. +2.5 volts or 0.. +5 volts can be used for optimum control. Wider CV ranges (up to +/- 10V) will not cause damage, but should be attenuated for best articulation.

Visualizations were made with a Tektronix TDS 350 digital oscilloscope in XY display mode, 1 volt per division.

The Grendel Formant Filter is made by Rare Waves (Austin TX)"

Roland JX3P & TR 505 + Arduino step sequencer + EH Echo #1

"A homebrew Arduino step sequencer clocked by a TR 505.
The synth is a Roland JX3P playing through an Electro harmonix Echo #1 digital delay.

I'm still working on the step sequencer. It still needs some step indicator LED's ...

Name that tune for extra credit :-D"

Arduino + TR505 + Meeblip Micro

"A Meeblip Micro driven by a homebrew Arduino step sequencer that is clock synced with a TR 505.

Experimenting with MIDI i/o for Arduino (no "MIDI shield" used).
The tiny DIY breakout board with the white IC is the opto-isolator receiving serial from the TR 505.

The pattern was created earlier and saved to the Arduino's EEPROM. Name that tune for extra credit ;-)"
