SoundMit 2019: SonicLAB Stochastic Synthesis Tools - Crazy Sound Design Madness!

Published on Nov 7, 2019 sonicstate

"So aside from using the same name as our own popular SonicLab review series, sonicLAB make some interesting sound design tools. We took a look at Cosmosƒ Stochastic Synthesizer and the VOLbot.

Cosmosƒ Stochastic Synthesiser is a Stochastic Synthesizer treats the sound as a multi dimensional topological object. Producing all sorts of crazy effects."

Price: 5,90€ / $6.90

The GAIA SH-01 Sound Editor and midi Controller facilitates the sound adjustment in the Roland Gaia SH-01 synthesizer. It is also possible to automate the controls in the VST version of the editor in the DAW.

Features:
- Complex sound changes
- Direct access to all 3 Tone Layers
- Extensive arpeggio control
- x-y modulation of the controllers, across tone layers
- Access to many hidden parameters
- The editor settings can be saved in the DAW with the project or saved as Plugin Preset (.fxp) and loaded again.

The editor gives as for PC VST / Standalone 32/64bit, and for MAC VST / AU / Standalone 64 bit."

Chameleon Modular Synthesizer

"CHAMELEON - MODULAR SYNTHESIZER specifications:

This synth is made up of four individual Chameleon modules.

Software files used:
Slot 1: NAMIBIA
Slot 2: NAMAQUA
Slot 3: TIGRIS
Slot 4: JACKSON

MIDI IO with channel select and MIDI clock out. Note, velocity, pitchbend and modulation wheel output.
Arpeggiator with external or internal sync. Up, down, up/down or random pattern.

Chaos Designer randomizer with external or internal sync. Range, speed and variation adjustable via performance controllers. Note (0-112) or frequency (0-2048) output.

DCO x 4 with individual stereo panning, mixer level and semitone tuning. Pulsewidth modulation and FM. Nine waveforms (Sin/Saw/Sqr/Ramp/Tri/Pulse/WhiteNoise/PinkNoise/FM). Manual mode where each oscillators frequency is adjusted via performance controllers. Legato between 0-635ms.

DCF x 2 with link function, two individual mono filters or one stereo filter. State Variable Filter with Low, Band and Highpass filter. Resonance and manual frequency adjustable via performance controllers.

DCA with external control and bypass function.

ADSR x 2 with fast, medium and long mode.

LFO x 2 with fast, medium and long mode. Four waveforms; triangle, sawtooth, square and S&H. Cycle end indicator via gate jack. Rate controlled via data input jack or performance controller. Amplitude controlled via data input jack or parameter value.

56 point modulation matrix with 14 gate input jacks, 14 gate output jacks, 14 data input jacks and 14 data output jacks.

Audio Interface with 4 audio input jacks and 4 audio output jacks. Daisy-chain function where the audio inputs are routed and mixed directly to the audio outputs.

About the Chameleon System

The Chameleon System consists of a hardware module, a Chameleon, that can be flashed with software files to decide its functionality.

There are two types of Chameleons:

* CHAMELEON.SONIC MODULES
This is a module equipped with a MCU as well as an audio shield. This module is for files that handles audio input or output, such as oscillators, filters etc. So far I've written these files:

• PANTHER Digital Synthesizer Module.
• NAMAQUA Four Oscillator Module.
• TIGRIS Stereo Filter Level Shaper.

SPECIFICATIONS:
ARM Cortex-M4@180MHz, 2-channel audio I/O, 3xC11D I/O, 3xGate I/O, TFT 2.2"-screen, Four potentiometers, One rotary encoder.

* CHAMELEON.SIGNAL MODULES
This is a module equipped with just a MCU. This module is for files that handle data manipulation, LFOs, envelopes etc. So far I've written these files:

• NAMIBIA MIDI Input/Output and Data Randomizer.
• JACKSON Quad Function Generator.

SPECIFICATIONS:
ARM Cortex-M4@180MHz, 4xC11D I/O, 4xGate I/O, TFT 2.2"-screen, Four potentiometers, One rotary encoder.

POWER DISTRIBUTION
Power is supplied to a Chameleon connected to power via its USB-port.

DATA COMMUNICATION
The Chameleons communicate with each other using standard 3.5mm cables sending and receiving 11-bit data. I call this technique C11D or Controlled 11-bit Data as a digital equivalent to CV, Controlled Voltage. Values between 0 and 2048 are sent and received. A unipolar parameter subtracts 1024 from the incoming value making it possible to modulate between -1024 and 1024.

PERFORMANCE CONTROLLERS
The four analog potentiometers on each module work as controllers for real-time control of key parameters.

PCB DIMENSIONS 100x100mm."

POLIVOKS VINTAGE DUOPHONIC USSR SOVIET ANALOG LEGENDARY SYNTHESIZER

"The Polivoks (also occasionally referred to as the Polyvox; Russian: Поливокс) is a duophonic, analog synthesizer manufactured and marketed in the Soviet Union between 1982 and 1990. It is arguably the most popular and well-known Soviet synthesizer in the West, likely due to the uniqueness of both its appearance and sound.

The Polivoks was designed at the Urals Vector plant, but actual production was handled at the Formanta Radio Factory in Kachkanar, Russian SFSR. It was intended to appear and sound similar to American and Japanese synthesizers from companies such as Roland, Moog, and Korg. The Polivoks was engineered by circuit designer Vladimir Kuzmin with the appearance of the instrument influenced by his wife Olimpiada,[2] who took inspiration from the design of Soviet military radios. Its retail price upon release was 920 rubles and over its lifetime around 100,000 Polivoks were manufactured - sometimes with a production rate of up to 1,000 units a month. But accordingly to information shared by Vladimir Kuzmin only 200-300 Polvokses were produced per month. It means that total number cannot be more than 32000.

"A floaty generative ambient patch, with tentacles! The NLC Squid Axon module replicates and mutates melodies using nonlinear feedback, rhythms are varied with Euclidean clocks, while Pressure Points + Brains is clocked extremely slowly to bring in different 'movements' with varying balance between voices. The voices themselves are mostly wavetable VCOs, with analogue filtering and a lot of reverb and long delays."
