The Shbobo Shnth - a New Brand and Synth by Ciat-Lonbarde's Peter Blasser

shnth 'horse organ"

Published on Jul 15, 2013 soundofcode·2 videos

Update: The Shbobo shnth is latest instrument design from Peter Blasser of ciat-lonbarde.  Shbobo is a new brand from Peter Blasser that will showcase his digital creations.

"A little explanation of this patch: it uses the four bars to trigger four horses (asymmetric triangle-wave oscillators). since each horse has 4 parameters that can be dynamically modulated, the 4 yellow buttons are used to switch these modulations on and off. the modulations are:

a) FM the uprate of this oscillator by the previous oscillator; control the amt of modulation w/ the left antenna
b) modulate the down rate of this oscillator by itself on the press of its bar
c) modulate the upper bound of the oscillator by the next oscillator; control the amount of modulation with the right antenna
d) modulate the lower bound of this oscillator by the oscillator two over on release of its bar

the white buttons are used to retune the pitches of the oscillators ala the analog scrolls of the sidrassi, but that wasn't used here. video credit to my daughter marina!"

"The Shnth, by Shbobo, is a computer music device that features the ARM Cortex M3 32 bit processor. It connects to host computer via USB, wherein the host computer (windows, linux, or macintosh) may read its "squish data" and create graphics and sound. Or, the Shnth itself is a standalone synthesizer, which may be programmed by host in the new language, "Shlisp", by Shbobo. It is potentially self powered, by batteries, which are charged, again, via USB. A switch turns it on, and 16 bit sound comes out a standard stereo 3.5mm jack. Like a laptop; it is "handtop". Four bars on top feel your fingers and two woven antennae below sense flesh, complimented by a battery of buttons. There are red lights."

"mod-k-45 vs syncussion sy-1"

All audio is coming from the mod-k-45 processed by the Syncussion. The mod-k-45 is a simple DIY CMOS logic synth, 40106 and 4040, x2 and a bent delay pedal. The syncusion is controlling the output of the mod-k-45. The he Syncussion receives the audio signal from the mod-k-45, and the output is processed by the Syncussion.

Note this is the first Miguel Pipa post.

John Bowen Solaris - A Quick Sample of Factory Presets

Published on Jul 15, 2013 zibbybone·122 videos

"I received my Solaris synthesizer last week and put together this small sampling of some of the factory presets which barely scratch the surface of what this amazing synth is capable of. My apologies for the clipping in the first selection - audio was recorded from the headphone output into the stereo mic jack of my Canon T3i and you've got to have all the setting set real low. Hope you all enjoy and I'll follow up later with more Solaris vids showing all the different oscillator and filter types. So that means 'SUBSCRIBE!'"

This appears to be a DIY organ synth.  This is the first post to feature Schober.  I couldn't find a demo for it on YouTube, but I did find the following demo for the Dynabeat. I'm curious if any of the synthy organ sounds in the video are the Tunesmith. More pics of the Tunesmith below.
