nonlinearcircuits Neuron - Difference rectifier (papernoise panel)

"A DIY module combining a dual analog neuron and a dual differential rectifier circuit

The Difference Rectifier has 4 inputs (two + & two -) and two outputs. The Neuron has two inputs and one output. There is a pad labelled 'ext' where extra inputs can be added if desired (use a 100k resistor attached to the jack).

All inputs for both circuits can be wired to attenuating pots if required. The two pots on the PCB are the critical Offset and Invert controls for the Neuron. The Offset is slightly modded from the previous Double Neuron PCB as it now ranges between +V and -V and its effect is halved by the 200k resistor to give greater useful range.

"EGSY01 is a Synthesiser. A little synthesiser among the big ones... The sound that you can generate with it is rather cool. 2 oscilators / ADSR / Delay / Noise / Crush. A low and a high Pass also It comes with the Audiobus and the Coremidi features. You can control 6 parameters with the modulation slider (wheel). You can also modulate the sound by moving your finger up and down on the keys. A good synth."

Waldorf Pulse 2 - first soundcheck - HQ Audio

Published on Sep 12, 2013 MrSynthmania·18 videos

"This is the new star of analog monophonic synthesizers...the brandnew WALDORF PULSE 2.
An amazing sounding mashine with tons of good features. More than 16 modulationslots are available, 3 real analog oscillators for a rich sound, an analog multimodefilter and a very easy userinterface and 500! presets. It allows you to syncronize an older synthesizer like the Roland SH 101 or older Moog Synthesizer with its built in CV/Gate Interface via Midi. Very nice feature. And you can play with paraphonic modes up to eight voice chords.
The Waldorf Pulse is built like a tank, it´s Made in Germany.
Enough words now...just listen to the raw sound without any effects on it. Have fun and if you like it...buy one.

"TAKE YOUR MUSIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Modular, the ultimate synthesizer that will revolutionize your sound.

• High fidelity virtual analog synthesis using band limited oscillators and oversampled filters
• Audiobus and background audio modes
• CoreMIDI control with external devices or internal sequencers
• Beautifully rendered graphics
• Dynamic workspace with intuitive navigation
• 10 octave keyboard with classically styled arpeggiator
• Extensive in app help with detailed module descriptions and guides
• Record and export live performance to Soundcloud, Sonoma Audio Copy, email and iTunes file sharing

Modular is a powerful sound design tool which allows you to build your own custom synthesizer by connecting different sound modules together. By separating each synthesis process, modules can be connected in any way. You are no longer limited to fixed synthesizer design, you are now in full control of your sound. This is the beauty and power of modular synthesis. Whether you are a professional musician or a beginner who just loves sound, modular offers you an incredibly powerful synthesizer experience.

Modular looks, acts, and sounds like a hardware modular synthesizer to give you features that musicians want such as pulse width modulation, oscillator sync, 4 pole ladder filters, and 1v/oct filter tracking. Traditional modular systems are expensive and out of reach for the average artist. Modular is here to bridge that gap and allow everyone the opportunity to use these powerful synthesizers.

Modular provides modules in every category for free. Enough to build a vast array of sounds. Buy only the modules you need or get the bundle which includes all modules including future modules. Owning a module means you use as many as can fit in the modular rack. You want to build a monster 6 oscillator synth? You can.

What makes modular special is the audio and visual experience you have with it. Beautifully minimal menu systems and interface along with ultra realistic synthesizer graphics are just the beginning. The real beauty is not what you see, but what you hear. Pristine and punchy oscillators that sound great, even at the extreme ends of the frequency spectrum. It starts with band limited oscillators. Not just traditional methods of band limiting, but band limiting that enables each note you play to have the maximum number of harmonics without distorting.

Every detail of the audio has been analyzed to provide you the most amazing sound possible such as buttery smooth filter sweeps and resonance so stable you can use the filter as an oscillator!

Modular goes a step further with connectivity and supports Audiobus, Soundcloud, CoreMIDI, as well as Sonoma Audio Copy so that your music making workflow is streamlined and integrated."

Bucephalus is a unique physics-based sound design tool from Refined Stochastic Technology. Version 2.0 presents a brand new audio engine featuring granular-based synthesis utilising both a built-in library and your own custom samples. It includes an array of custom built effects including a "Chamber" reverb, three Filters (LPF, HPF and BPF), Distortion and master effects (Compression and Soft Saturation).


BASIC FEATURES

Five ball sizes controlled globally.
Highly accurate ball physics.
Add up to 20 balls simultaneously (6 on older devices).
Five fixed high quality custom resonance samples.
Variable ball hardness to blend between granular synthesis resonant and static collision sounds.
Variable elasticity and gravity.
Gravity controlled by accelerometer or with touch controller.
RST designed three stage Chamber Reverb unit.
RST designed distortion unit.

Master FX: Compression with variable Threshold/Ratio and Soft Saturation for analog-like breakup.
Audiobus support - connect to other audio apps in real time.

ADVANCED FEATURES (Available with in-app purchase)

Access to library of high quality custom resonance samples, with more coming in later versions.
Import your own samples via iTunes.
Ability to change tuning of notes over 10 octave range.
