Little Phatty & Slim Phatty Update v3.2 Now Available

"What's New:

• LOCAL CONTROL: OFF, ON, noKB. The new "noKB“ setting turns local control OFF for the keys only, while all knobs still affect the sound.

• ARP SETUP: SYNC LOCK (OFF, ON). When ON, the SYNC LOCK parameter keeps the arpeggiator phase constant from the time the arpeggiator is started. When Sync Lock is OFF, new notes reset its timing. This parameter can also be set with CC87 (0-63=off, 64-127=on).

• POLY-CHAINING: Multiple improvements and bug fixes to Poly mode.

- Fixed several ways that different units could get out of sync

- Added a new voice-stealing behavior: When a note is released, the system looks for keys that are still held whose voice has been stolen by a subsequent note, and re-plays the most recent stolen note. In practice, this helps prevent notes from seeming "dropped" when polyphony is momentarily exceeded (such as when playing legato phrases).

• MIDI Time Code (MTC) bug has been fixed

• MIDI CC filtering bug has been fixed: Certain panel controls would continue sending MIDI even when MIDI CC filtering should have blocked them.

• SYSTEM UTILITIES: PRESET MWHL added to Little Phatty. This allows the Mod Wheel amount to be saved per preset. (The Slim Phatty already has this feature implemented)

• ARPEGGIATOR: When turning off the arpeggiator while still holding a note, the held note now continues to play instead of being silenced when the arp is turned off.

"A rhythmic patch centered around the Make Noise Wogglebug, Function, Maths (2013) and Pressure Points modules, the Voice of Saturn sequencer and the 4MS SCM.

The NanoKontrol is muting and un-muting the patch's four voices (via Reaper).

WebSID - web-based Commodore 64 synth

Published on Mar 11, 2014 Igor Zinken·13 videos

"A demonstration of the WebSID, a synthesizer that runs inside your browser (Google Chrome or Safari 6+ required, though most mobile devices such as iPads are ready to go) that pays homage to the retro sounds of the SID chip, a.k.a. the audio module of the Commodore 64. The trademark pulse width modulated waves provide a testament to deep, heavy bass lines while playing chords on the top keyboard will result in the trademark arpeggiated lines so typically associated with old school video games. For further sound sculpting, a high res filter and echo have been added to turn the WebSID into a chaotic drone machine.

NOTE : the audio glitches in the video, but is a side effect of the screencast, no such glitches are present in the actual application.

You can play with the WebSID directly by following this link :

or get it as a (free) Chrome Web App so you can run it offline:

"Alex at BEMI mentioned to me this patch that he developed yesterday. Wonderful rhythmic and asymmetrical rhythmic variations via CV feedback between the Sequencer and the Arpeggiator! Cool idea! Part 1, my little explore; Part 2 Alex's explore. Enjoy!"
