Giorgio Sancristoforo's Compusynth for Windows Now Available

You can find it at giorgiosancristoforo.net. You cand find demo videos in previous posts here.

"AN ALTERNATE REALITY
Compusynth is a modular synthesizer that takes inspiration from the west coast paradigm and the mighty Altair8800, one of the first personal microcomputers available to the hobbyists in the mid 70s.

With its peculiar 128 bit sequencer, oscillators, filters, efxs and processors, Compusynth is a powerful sonic laboratory thanks to its generous resources and flexible routing with 1596 patch points!

DREAM SYNTH
Compusynth has everything I ever dreamt about west coast modulars: enough resources to create tons of sounds with the addition of a large memory sequencer and a fantastic tape echo.

Compusynth can make weird experimental sounds as well as traditional fat synth sequences that will serve any music genere with its warm and deep tone.

RECORD ON TAPE
A cute tape recorder with many tape simulations is at hand to record your sound and gigs

Compusynth is made for experimentation, free from cliché and formulas, it is a magnificent tool for live improvisation, drones, strange bongos and extremely flexible for sound design.

You can use any virtual audio driver to connect Compusynth with your DAW, just in case…"

sonicPlanet app "Creation"

video upload by Richard Devine

"The user gains the architect’s role by creating dialogues in a 3D simulation scene based on gravitational interaction. A force that is responsible for the macro-formal evolution of our universe.

Creation calculates the gravitational interaction between up to 999 objects and 5 masses (with GPU) and renders the cumulative sound from this dynamically evolving space data.

Each object itself represents an oscillator with a rich sound synthesis engine and unique modulation capabilities

"this system is available for purchase on reverb [listed here]

-Ellitone Osage Modular Synthesizer System (4-voice) being sequenced by Ableton Live via MIDI.

-experimenting here with a strange MIDI delay plugin I found called Mdelay. this note delay can sometimes lead to glitchy sounding notes when you have a limited number of voices. But overall, its an inspiring plugin that can really jazz up simple sequences.

-this demo shows how well these dual analog oscillators can accurately track incoming pitch voltages across a range of octaves (1V/octave). These are modern adaptions of the classic buchla 258 oscillator circuits using THAT340 matched transistor pairs to create the expo-converters."

via this auction

"Looks and sounds great - quite punchy. And MIDI!

This versions is without the optional Reverb DSP.
It's a digital module triggered by external drum pads. Mainly based on samples derived from the big SDS X sampler. The SDS-2000 is the last drum brain from the company before the closure.

Each channel have own volume and a label:
-channel 1 bass
-channel 2 snare
-channel 3 hi tom
-channel 4 low tom
-channel 5 mid Tom
Each channel can be tuned to +/- 7 semitones (some sounds limited to 5)

Sounds can be triggered by Midi input.
Midi can also act as a trigger to midi converter.
Also a Midi THRU port.

The brain manages up to 5 analog inputs to trigger the internal sounds. The relative pad sensivity can be set using the "SENS" button.

TIP: you can trigger sounds using these combo: "VU METER" + "UP" + "DOWN" at the same time."
