NEW Ginko Synthese GRAINS

Published on Mar 14, 2016 paul tas

"thanks to ginko Grains V1 PCB v1 (basic code for PCB v1)"

via error instruments

"the cheapest ways to get a voltage controlled oscillator in your modular and sounds completely different than all other oscillators! It can do minimalistic clicks and plops, screaming leads, fat basslines, weird noises or chiptunes.

This is a DIY kit
The kit includes:
PCB
frontpanel
all electronic parts
Knobs and jacksockets
Arduino
powercable

How it works
The sound is a PWM output routed via an (optional) low-pass filter and a 100uF capacitor – so no external DAC is required. The low-pass filter on the PCB can be bypassed if you want. Bypassing the filter provides more clarity and a slightly louder output but more artifacts in the sound.

Not bored yet?
Here comes more information about the synthesis technique on the basic code and you will understand why I called this module “Grains”.
The “Grains” code provided on your module is based on FOF synthesis or formant synthesis. FOF synthesis is closely related to synchronous granular synthesis. It uses two simple triangle-shaped grains. The grains are separated by the same amount of time. With granular synthesis, the spacing within the grains radically change the texture that is created. The FOF grains have very little parameters: pitch and decay. In the basic “Grains” code the 2 decay values are fixed to most musical sounding and can not be altered via potentiometers. So only the pitch of the two grains can be altered via pots (or the cv inputs) and the overall grains repetition which provides the pitch of the output.

The code is highly customizable and I will upload user codes for the Grains as soon as I get them. (Please do share your own customized code with me via email: info@ginkosynthese.com)

PCB version 2 is shipped from 25-06-2015. There has been a change in the way cv input 3 is processed. All earlier codes can be changed to work with V2 and backwards, look for the analogRead (0) in the code and add an extra input for analogRead (3). You can play around with the way they influence each other.
For people who want to dive deeper in coding and want to write a lookup table for 1V/oct tracking, here is how: code doc."

Introducing the Global Modular Project by Moog and Yuri Suzuki

Global Synthesizer Project from Yuri Suzuki on Vimeo.

Update: this is now posted here.
Update2: Vimeo video from Yuri Suzuki is back as of 10/19/2016 - added above.

"Yuri Suzuki and Moog proudly present 'The Global Synthesizer Project,' an interactive electronic musical instrument installation where users can synthesize environmental sounds from around the world. Utilizing an archive of atmospheric field recordings from diverse geographies, The Global Synthesizer Project empowers users to create new sonic environments through the manipulation of the source material.

To populate the custom Moog designed and built synth modules with a unique archive of world sounds, The Global Synthesizer Project is reaching out to audio adventurers and sonic scouts from across the globe to contribute local sounds from their regions. Field recordings can be submitted to globalmodular@moogmusic.com in either .aiff or .wav format.

The Global Synthesizer Project will debut at Moogfest 2016, a festival of future thought and future sound taking place in Durham, North Carolina, May 19-22. To learn more visit: Moogfest.com"
