The Jano-Xk Analog Hybrid Synthesizer on Indiegogo

The DSP Synthesizers Jano-Xk synthesizer based on the Roland Juno-106 DCO is now on Indiegogo. Click through for details.

"Integrator Jano-DCO with SAW, SuperSAW, SQR with PWM and SUB mix output.

This is NOT a VA synth.
The oscillator is a digitally controlled analog oscillator based on the ATmega328.
The output from the DCO-integrator is 100% analog signal.

All 4 waveforms can be simultaneously mixed.

Triangle LFO for PWM and pitch modulation.

Portamento/glide for notes.

Arpeggiator with up-mode, rate and note lenght.

Gate output with oscillator set as gated, arpeggiated or hold mode and 5 volt CV output for highest note played on the keyboard or arpeggiated chords.

12dB HPF and +24dB LPF with resonance.

Outputs are monoaudio and 5 volts CV/Gate."

MIDIBox MBProgramma Knob Box Controller for Synths

[techdemo] MBProgramma vs Alpha Juno Published on Jan 19, 2015 Maelstroem3

"...demonstrating the first test run of the DIY MBProgramma! :-)
Many thanks to TK. for his fantastic MBNG base, and to jojjelito for sourcing parts, gathering ideas, documenting stuff and so on! :-)

The Programma contains 64 LEDring enhanced encoders and corresponding OLED labels. It was built to control multiple synthesizers, that don't have sufficient hardware user interfaces, it should be especially useful for patch programming. The label displays make parameter lookup a lot easier for the user, also there is support for multiple banks with different labels, as well as patch snapshot support (store and retrieve from SD card, for synths with limited memory).

The MBProgramma is a MIDIbox NG with hardware specific software extensions, that utilize the standardized hardware (eg., the 128x64px OLEDs). The hardware list is defined, so it is a "named" MBNG variant, that other users can build, too. This version 0.3 only has support for graphical encoder label loading, nothing more, yet :-). But, thanks to TK., MBNG (which is the base) is extremely powerful, it can be scripted, it can serve as a MIDI router, ... :-)

In this quick demo, the MBProgramma controls a Roland Alpha Juno 2 (MKS 50).

Thanks for watching and listening!

"Hola folks,

Jojjelito and myself are currently collaborating on a bigger MIDIboxNG project, that should help facilitate patch programming for all those synth users, that are unhappy with the bad/minimalistic user interfaces of their rack and keyboard synths, especially when programming new patches. This project was planned for years and never took shape...
But, thanks to TK., MIDIboxNG came to the rescue!
Its codebase has all of the needed functionality integrated in a very generic way, allowing to do so many things!

So... why this project, additionally?

Moog Micromoog Vintage Analog Synthesizer with Custom Knobs & Pitch Bend

via this auction

"Cosmetics: Front panel is bright and clean. White switch caps are correct. Rotatry switches and pots knobs have been replaced with very high quality vintage bakelite knobs (see pictures). A few minor scratches on keys. Right hand wood grained panel has a small drill hole.

Now the unfortunate: The original left hand modulation panel is missing. I have built a working one using a center detent slider pot for pitch and have added a non-Moog mod wheel. Panel cover is a print of the original Moog graphics. Panel works.

Low starting bid, a chance to get one of these classic synths at a lower than usual cost."

"This boombox was made of excellent quality, MADE IN JAPAN. I Weighed it on scale and it is 12 lbs. So much quality put into this radio. Back in the day, this Item was purchased new in 1986 with a hefty price of $ 575.00 dollars, There were not very many sold, but the good thing is that the technology was ahead of its time and after all these years they are highly sought after. This Item was tested and it has an incredibly powerful Analog radio and Many keyboard recording functions that are complex. I do not have the manual but one can be obtained from casio for $4.99. Box does show wear such as scraps and scratches though no cracks or missing parts whats so ever. Radio switches work perfectly though will need a nice cleaning cause they crackle sometimes from years of dust. Keyboard, Tape Player, and Radio work Perfectly!"
