STM32F4 DIY synth : Brisophone demo + Korg Monotron delay effect


"Published on May 1, 2013
Automatic semi-random digital sound synthesizer based on STM32F4 Discovery board (STmicroelectronics).
Control through 4 push buttons and 1 bargraph LED display.
Access to 13 parameters...
This is a work in progress.

Open source code ! : https://github.com/MrBlueXav/Brisophone

The latest sound demos are here : https://soundcloud.com/bluexav"

"This is a semi-random music generator based on a STM32F4 Discovery board and a simple expansion board providing four push buttons and a 10 LED bargraph.

It's a cousin of my previous "Ambiantiseur" project.

Now we have 4 effects : LP filter, chorus/flanger, delay, distortion.

The latest sound demos are here : https://soundcloud.com/bluexav

Through the 4 buttons you can edit about 20 parameters.

All push buttons are active low. They are connected to PD8, PD9, PD10, PD11.

The first two are used to choose the parameter you'd like to modify : you scroll the list forward or backward. The bargraph displays a configuration of LEDs for each parameter.

The two second buttons are generally used for increasing or decreasing the parameter value or sometimes toggle a value.

The bargraph (common cathods) is connected to pins PE6, PE7, .... PE14, PE15. Each output is active at high level (3V). I've used 120 ohms resistors. The display is multiplexed (one Led is on at a time) and not bright...This system doesn't work very well in fact....

This project was built with Coocox.org's free IDE : CoIDE 1.7 and the GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors (https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded).

The main project file to open with CoIDE is "Brisophone.coproj".

MrBlueXav Dekrispator Experimental Synthesizer

"Dekrispator'sTest Sound!!

This software is a synthesizer which has flexibility very much!!"

via https://github.com/MrBlueXav/Dekrispator

"Experimental synthesizer based on an STM32F4 Discovery board with USB Host function for interaction and automatic mode. Flash your board with "dekrispator.hex" and enjoy hours and hours of sweet music coming of it ! Sounds can be loud so beware !

When powering up the board, the synth starts in "demo mode" unless you press and maintain a little the user button before power. In that case the synth is in "user mode".

Demo mode : The synth works on its own, sounds are perpetually changing. If you press the user button, sounds and effects stop always changing and the red LED lights on : the synth parameters are frozen. Press once again the user button and the red LED lights off : unfreeze.

User mode : Connect an USB MIDI controller (like Korg NanoKontrol...) to the board's micro USB connector and control the synth.

More to come..."

Analogue Solutions Christmas: Polymath Night (featuring Christine Anderson)

Published on Dec 18, 2013 rezfilter·67 videos

"HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ANALOGUE SOLUTIONS!

Here's some holiday synthpop action featuring the Analogue Solutions' Polymath modular synthesizer (all synth sounds heard in the video) as well as the wildly talented and unforgettable Christine Anderson on vocals!

The track was assembled layer by layer using ONLY the Polymath as the sound source. Each track was recorded separately into Logic Pro. From the percussive analogue sequencer loops to the quirky retro leads: each sound was created specifically for use in the "Polymath Night" song and video.

The reverb heard on the instrumentation is from Polymath's own Spring Reverb. However, some slight delay was added on a couple of tracks for effect.

Christine Anderson offers her one of a kind sound and unique abilities as a vocalist, lyricist and overall creative contributor. Her "magic" touch can be seen and felt throughout the production and her fun-loving spirit brings an overflow of charm and fun to this project! Christine is also a star on the piano and an analogue enthusiast!

The musical bed uses all original Polymath sounds and was produced especially for the holidays by Sound of Science.

*If you enjoyed this video, please share!

Benge Releases All EMS Polysynthi Album - Forms 3

"One of the interesting things about creating an album using just one synthesiser is that it puts you in the 'sonic era' of the machine that you are working with. So for this reason I decided to create these tracks with this idea in mind, resulting hopefully in a sound reminiscent of the musical cues found on certain late 1970s soundtrack or library albums. Therefore when listening to this record it would not be inappropriate to try and imagine yourself immersed in a progressive Television Play such as would have been broadcast on on a sunday evening in 1978

This record was made using the EMS Polysynthi electronic polyphonic synthesiser. All sounds were created and played on this single machine, and then recorded directly to multi-track tape in overlaying passes. The only exception to this was the minor addition of monophonic spring reverberation via the EMS VCS3 and some occasional band-pass filtering courtesy of the EMS 8-octave filter bank
