"The Standuino fraAngelico is an 8-bit PWM digital synth, built on the Arduino platform.
It does not use any D/A convertor, but the sound is generated by one digital output pin using Pulse Width Modulation. Resolution of this technique to achieve different voltage levels is 8-bit, but in the true essence the output from the synth is just 1-bit because the output pin does just 1 or 0 which makes distinctive digital character to its sound."
"In this video Karl from Patchwerks shares his favorite way to use the Chase Bliss Mood and Moog EP-3 expression pedal with his trusty Teenage Engineering OP-1.
MOOD is a two channel granular micro-looper / delay. Designed to be playful and immediate, it is a study of interaction. MOOD is internally collaborative, allowing audio to freely pass back and forth between its two sides, evolving and transforming over time. Drolo FX is behind the loop channel, a collection of always-listening micro-loopers, and old blood noise endeavors offer us the wet channel, a suite of live spatial effects.
We have three different options for how the channels are internally routed. Run a time-stretched loop through a cloud of delay taps, re-record it and carry on. Overdub, freeze, dissolve, smear. The device’s heart is the clock control, which slows or accelerates both sides simultaneously in harmonized steps. Instantly turn a loop into rolling chirps, or divide a reverb down into atmospheric noise. And naturally, we have full MIDI, dip-switch, and preset implementation.
The EP-3 Expression Pedal from Moog is a universal expression pedal for keyboards, synths, and pedals that have either an expression or CV input. It has a polarity switch for compatibility with non-Moog products and a scalable output knob for different musical ranges. The pedal itself is designed for smooth operation while being rugged enough for daily use and touring. A 6.5' 1/4" TRS cable is included.
"During the Superbooth 2021 journalists, artists, musicians came to try Osmose for the first time.
These meetings were full of good vibes, and it was amazing for us to see your reactions while you were discovering Osmose for the first time.
For those of you who did not have the opportunity to be there, we have concocted a short video to give you an idea of the atmosphere that reigned in our little wooden bungalow lost in the Berlin wilderness."
"Just playing some layers using the Strings, Fantasy, Flute and Guitar sounds from the VL-1. I'm also using the Eventide TimeFactor and Strymon BigSky."

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Kawai K-1 II. Is this late-80s ROMpler the Dark Lord of digital synthesizers?"
