Number Money (Avon, Stringer, Omar)

Published on Oct 10, 2017 Aidan Burns-Fulkerson

"Money. It’s value is made up, but the things people do for it are all too real. Some work diligently to better the world, while others are compensated immensely to do harm to the earth, animals, people. Humans increasingly live under systems of government that push the benefits to the rich and scapegoat the poor and powerless.

Please do what you can to resist, to protest, to better this place.

Dedicated to Frédéric Munsch on this day of protest."

Variable star wave tables for the SynthTech E352

Published on Oct 9, 2017 Steve Bryson

"Demonstration of a wave table for the Synthesis Technology E352 based on observations of the variable star RR Lyrae by the Kepler space telescope.

NOTE: there are rather terrible compression artifacts in the audio, particularly in the first section. Listen to the uncompressed audio file here: http://stevepur.com/music/electronic/RRLyr352DemoAudio.aif

RR Lyrae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RR_Lyrae) varies in brightness by over a factor of 2 every 13.5 hours or so, with a characteristic pattern of variation. This particular star is good for musical sounds because the oscillations don't exactly repeat. Using observations from different times together, like in the video, creates a rich variation in phase and texture.

Details of these observations can be found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1011.5908.pdf, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.4908.pdf and https://arxiv.org/pdf/1310.0543.pdf.

Each wave table breaks up three months of observation into 64 waves, with each wave having about two periods of oscillation. Each three-month period is called a "quarter", and the waves shown in the video are for quarter 5 (Q5) and quarter 6 (Q6) of Kepler's observations.

My thanks to Jon Jenkins for the code that I modified to make these wave tables."

KORG Volca Circuit Sunrizer Deep Session 12 (unmastered)

SynthFest UK 2017 Videos by DivKidVideo

1. AJH Synth Mega-Phase 12 // Synthfest 2017

Allan from AJH Synth continues to absolutely knock it out of the park (his other modules are gorgeous!) with the new Mega-Phase 12 phaser module. This is a reimagining of the phaser with a multi stage rotary selector and a unique separate emphasis stage tap. Allowing you to create classic 4 stage EHX small stone style phasing through a range of other phaser tones but you can tap the resonant emphasis from a separate stage to the total stages selected. This allows for unique phase cancellation and tonal changes allowing the Mega-Phase 12 to create a wide range of phasing sounds and FX.

2. AJH Synth Finale R-EQ // SynthFest 2017

Video 2 of 3 from AJH Synth at SynthFest UK 2017. Here's the Finale R-EQ which offers aural exciting and maximising of the low and high frequencies alongside a 4 band EQ and basic reverbs that are suited to synths all of which comes together to act as a "back end" for a synth voice (although I'm sure it's great on other sounds too as all the AJH modules are stupidly good!).

3. AJH Synth Gemini 2412 // Synthfest 2017

This is the third and final video / new product from AJH Synth at Synthfest UK 2017 in Sheffield. The Gemini 2412 is a dual state variable filter based on the classic SEM filter. There's a lot of tricks not often seen include series cascaded and parallel use of the filters, filter CV mixing that scales to each filter, a dual frequency control, totally independent dual filter use (should you wise) and a CV-able mix between the two. There's also CV-able resonance which is rare on SEM style filters.
