Massive Update on Percussa's SSP's Software Development - MPE, USB and More

via the Percussa Kickstarter:

"It’s time again for an update on the development of the SSP. The past few weeks a lot has happened!

1) more parts arrived for production of the SSPs

We’re getting ready for the production of the rest of the SSPs! We already have a small number of SSPs from our initial run a while ago which we’ve been using for hardware testing, and will now be producing the rest of the SSPs. Almost all the parts we need have arrived and we’ll be kitting and delivering the parts to our subcontractor over the next weeks. It looks like the first PCB revision of the SSP does not need any fixes or additional revisions, so that is really good news. We’ve also been testing the SSP with multiple power supply solutions and a variety of modules in our intellijel 84hp performance case.

2) development of the MPE features in full swing

Since our last video where we showed how you can plug a MIDI controller into the SSP’s USB port, have it detected automatically and instantly play a patch, we’ve been working on support for the MPE features of the SSP. For testing we are using a ROLI Seaboard block. For the moment the parameters from the Seaboard are automatically mapped to Wavetable oscillator parameters, such as X, Y and Z and to envelope generators which amplitude-modulate the oscillators. The notes are assigned to voices internally in the SSP’s software, and the modules in the patch are grouped into these voices so they receive pitch and trigger info. The Seaboard’s strike and lift parameters are mapped to scaling of the envelopes, so the wavetable oscillators’ sounds are louder or softer depending on how you play the Seaboard. Press and Slide are used for the Z and Y parameters of the WT Oscillator and the Glide parameter is of course mapped to polyphonic pitch bend.

Published on Mar 22, 2018 NomNomChomsky

"A synth blues cover version of the classic song : 'Ain't No Sunshine' by Bill Withers. Done using analog hardware, but controlled by Ableton Live 10 with a Novation Launchpad Pro.

The longer jam sections have been cut out.... coz, while they're fun to play, but no one really wants to hear that shnitzel.

.... and yes, it is in portrait mode 9:16 😜

018//The Drums of Callisto - 3 voices from 2 Moog Mother 32s

Published on Mar 26, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A self-generating patch using 2 Mother 32s sent through an Eventide Space shimmer reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on digital delay setting. No other processing has been applied.

The lower Mother 32 is supplying the percussion and effects, by having the self-resonating filter modulated by a triangle LFO, which in turn is being modulated by a random stepped voltage to go up into the audio range. The Pulse output from this Mother 32 is patched to the Ext Audio input of the higher Mother 32 and is mixed with its melody, with the effect of the higher Mother 32 handling melodic lines at the same time. Random stepped voltages from the Assign outputs affect the melodies, as well as several other controls like the tempo of the the sequencers. Another notable feature of this patch is that the envelope of the higher Mother 32 is patched to the VCA CV input of the lower, adding a bit of extra snap to the percussive sounds.

Veils (in the top left) is being used as an output mixer and isn't affecting the patch.

Q962, C958 and a couple of batteries...

"Experimenting here with the Q962 shift trigger input and also the C958 transpose function. I had the idea of building myself a box that does all this on dedicated buttons and in various combinations and configurations...!"

BOSS DR-202 cleaning and repair

Published on Mar 26, 2018 organfairy

"The sound demo starts at 5:00

I mentioned, in the description for the DJX cleaning video, that I bought a second instrument from the same seller. This is it: BOSS DR-202 drum machine/groovebox.
It had a problem with the power plug and the power supply was also faulty (I don't show the repair process for the power supply in this video). And as usual it needed a good cleaning.

The music is 'This is your song' by Telex. I play it on Roland JX-8P synthesizer, Yamaha HE-8 organ and SY-1 synthesizer. The rhythm comes from a Korg Rhythm 55 drum machine."
