▓▒░ OFFICIAL BLURB ░▒▓

We have received numerous requests from musicians and composers to develop a replacement for Yamaha's breath controller BC3A.

The result is the MIDI Breath Controller, which has the same function as a combination of the BC3A and the "MIDI solution" converter box but with a USB interface instead of the older standard DIN connector.

The MIDI Breath Controller uses a novel signal processing algorithm to transform the breath pressure signal to MIDI cc messages that let you add realistic expression to your performance. This is extremely useful for live performance with synthesizers and DAW's. It gives you excellent control of pitch, expression, velocity cross-fade etc... of soft synths and sample libraries

BugBrand News - Update on PEQ, Hiatus on Modular Front

via the Bugbran mailing list:

"Last night I added the second (& potentially final) batch of PEQs to the online store.

No one noticed yet!
So here is the link

Will I make further batches? I don't know.. I guess I need feedback from people. If these sell and then there's ongoing demand, maybe.. (though knob sourcing is currently busting my balls)

In other news:
- brief mention for now that I'm taking a pause on the modular front for the coming months - in theory that may mean more 'general' designs.

- I've begun releasing a few details on the coming-quite-soon new version PT Delay - it is still at least a month off but I am pretty excited already - production is starting to roll..

-- the aim here is for more regular production - SMD parts are being stuffed and future runs may well have further build steps out-sourced (I want to investigate these areas - but for the first batch I will be putting the hardware on by hand & doing the assembling in the usual Bristol setup)
- a little tease is here: http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=78682

That's about it - mainly at the moment I am in focus and tidy-up modes - trying to push particular new projects alongside tidy & settle from several years of hectic! Not much in the way of shows for now + gradually sorting through hours & hours of recordings from the past years..
Cathartic!

Best to all,
Tom"

No synths in this one, but I'm sure you can make the connection. I saw this earlier on Gizmodo as well. Note it supports iOS and Android so hopefully you won't have to lug your computer around.

Beetle PR-7 Programmer for the Yamaha TX7, TX216, and TX816

Beetle PR-7 Programmer for the Yamaha TX7, TX216, and TX816 FM synthesizers

Published on Jul 17, 2012 ymarcc·23 videos

"This is a pretty rare Beetle PR-7 hardware programmer for the Yamaha TX7, TX216, and TX816 FM synthesizers. I posted the video in connection with an eBay auction (it's now sold).

I'll keep this posted for folks since right now this video seems to be the only one on YouTube of a PR-7. Too bad I didn't have a compatible synth to use it with.

From the manufacturer:

'The PR-7 is a control panel designed exclusively to control the Yamaha TX7, TX216 - TX816 FM tone generator systems. Programming of patches is now possible with a mock-up of a DX7 front panel including a backlit LCD adjustable display and ROM/RAM cartridge port. Other features include a midi in to allow key data to be sent for audible feed back while working with sounds, cartridge load/save to any module and is rack mountable if desired.'"

PASCO Dual Function Generator + modulation

Published on Feb 26, 2013

"Brief demo of the Pasco dual function generator + modulation generator.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/124109528/vintage-dual-function-generator-2"


"Here we have a modified vintage Pasco scientific dual function generator. This thing has tons of great features and is capable of some amazing sonic architecture.

Each oscillator has 5 waveforms with duty cycle for the pulse and ramp waves. There is also a mixer section with 2 additional inputs. The first input is an 1/8" mono input with gain. One of my favorite patches with this beast is to run audio to the 1/8" in and take the banana out and patch it to the input on Gen 1.

Most of the modulation routing is done through the 2 modulation knobs but you can also experiment with various outs patched to generator 1's input ( white banana jack next to gen 1 ) You can also feed CV to the same input or the 2 CV in's on the front panel.

MODS:
*1/4" CV in for each oscillator ( 0 - 10v )
*1/4" audio out jack

**The dual function generator also comes with 2 banana cables and a 1/4" to banana jack converter so you can modulate Generator 1 with your 1/4" format gear.

**OPERATES ON 115 Volts"
