Hand Of Glitch (Experimental drone music using iphone gyroscope)

Perplex On

"Revisiting an idea that’s coming back from time to time in one or the other form: iphone taped to the hand loaded with #gyrosynth + fx with #k7d and #dedalusdelay. Tilting the hand in different angles basically enables to wander through, inspect and pitch a custom sample. Served with #audioreactive particle projections."

New Bleep Lab's Bleep Base Teensy 4.0 DIY Platform & dadageek course "Making Synths with Arduino"

via Bleep Labs newsletter:

"I've got another session of my dadageek course 'Making Synths with Arduino' starting February 1st. It's a great course whether you're a beginner or if you already know how to code but want to get into Arduino and synths.

For this session I've got something new. Rather than just have a breadboard with a few knobs on it this course will use the Bleep Base, a new educational platform based around the powerful Teensy 4.0. This will allow us to experiment with more controls, i/o, memory, and speed without needing to troubleshoot breadboard connections and deal with add-ons that get in the way of learning to code your own synths and effects.

Sign up for the course soon and be the first to try it out. Less that 10 seats are currently open. Scholarships are also available.

The course starts February 1st and goes for 7 weeks, meeting in zoom every Monday at 6pm CST. Check out the dadageek page for all the info."

Waldorf Pulse + Polivoks Filter – Filter Comparison

via Virtual Music

"The Polivoks Multimode Filter integrated in the Pulse - a Synthesizer on Steroid!

The filter of the Russian Polivoks synthesizer is legendary for its powerful and mangy sound. Nothing in the world is that fat! The new Virtual Music Polivoks Filter Upgrade is an adequate replica. It is a small circuit board, designed for installation in the Waldorf Pulse.

Polivoks + Pulse = A powerful team!
The distinctive aesthetics of the Polivoks filter under the control of a powerful modulation matrix make sonic dreams come true. With relatively little effort, this Filter Upgrade transforms the Pulse into a fantastic sounding analog monster that even outshines some famous vintage synthesizers.


All features of the Polivoks Filter Upgrade
Vintage sound an analogue warmth for Waldorf Pulse / Pulse Plus
Authentic fat Polivoks sound Polivoks Filter Upgrade - Board
Multimode filter with low pass and band pass characteristics
Optional filter modulation by Oscillator 3
The orignal Pulse filter still remains
All filters can be selected quickly via the panel
Seamless integration into the Pulse sound generation
Kit for self-installation - optional installation by Virtual Music

The Polivoks Filter Upgrade sounds like the legendary original. The sound is creamy and powerfully mangy. Higher oscillator levels produce juicy saturation effects. With stronger resonances, the filter begins to scream passionately."
