BLEASS Arpeggiator - Hands-On Creative Arpeggiation

"Download BLEASS Arpeggiator Plugin (Desktop / iOS):
https://www.bleass.com/arpeggiator/

BLEASS Arpeggiator takes the inspirationally melodic power of a classic synth arpeggiator and supercharges it with modern features demanded by today’s musicians. Developed in collaboration with top French producer Canblaster (@MrCanblaster https://canblaster.bfan.link/genesis), BLEASS Arpeggiator’s capabilities extend far beyond the clichéd up-and-down monophonic patterns of an old-school synth arpeggiator, with polyrhythms, polyphony, and a large collection of highly configurable arpeggio patterns built in.

The focus of BLEASS Arpeggiator is creativity and experimentation. The plugin’s hands-on user interface is as intuitive and spontaneous to use as a classic subtractive synth, so varying and adapting arpeggios on-the-fly is an easy, fun and organic experience.

The plugin recognises incoming performance controllers, and includes a pair of XY pads (huge fun on iPad!), a pair of advanced LFOs and BLEASS’ signature Motion Sequencer. These can modulate the arpeggiator’s parameters, unlocking a deep level of creativity that’s simply not available from modern step-sequencer-style arpeggiators.

BLEASS Arpeggiator also offers a built-in sound generator. This is a cut-down yet great-sounding FM synth that’s perfect for creating the kinds of bright, sweet and punchy sounds that can work so well with an arpeggio line. You can of course use BLEASS Arpeggiator with any other synth too (see tutorials here), with each instance of the plugin creating its own MIDI source that can be bussed to any instrument within your project."

Vintage Polymoog and Minimoog Jam (by synthpro)

video upload by synthpro

"Hey Guys,
This is just a little different video for you. I finished the restoration on this Polymoog 203a and was going through all the functional tests including the moog open interface which you see in use here with my 72 era minimoog.This feature allows you to interface other moog synthesizers to the polymoog and use the keyboard of the polymoog to control them. The 280a also has this feature as well.

Thanks for watching!

sincerely,
Jareth"

Mutable Instruments Ambika (Xena) soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"I finally found my PSU for my Ambika. I've been very tempted to get the Michigan Synth Works Xena synth... My unit has 3 4P voices and 3 SMR voices (if you see a note activated on the left side of the LEDs, that's a 4P filter, if you see a note activated on the right side, that's an SMR filter.

Well - there's probably no real reason for me to buy the Xena. But maybe this video will help you decide...

Used Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb."

New Synton Fenix 2 PP Modular Synth First Patch

video upload by HAINBACH

Priced at 4999€ via Patch Point

"Patch Point is producing 100 Fénix II PP analog modular synthesizers in small batches.

The first batch is 30, and there are 14 left available.

The Fénix II PP is a direct descendant of the Fénix II in collaboration with the designer, Mr. Bert Vermuelen of the original Synton design team.

It is a fully analog synthesizer, with the same components as the original Fénix II, with some upgrades.

VCF3 - Formant Filter - a new modern design using chips instead of vactrols which allows for voltage controlled resonance and an expanded frequency range.

VCF4 - LPG - a new modern design using chips instead of vactrols which allows for an expanded frequency range, and quicker response, and more accurate control of the length parameter.

Delay - The Delay is now a dual delay with a 3rd switch position. delay 1, delay 2, or in the middle both delays mixed! with the additional jack of a second frequency parameter for the 2nd delay. You can now CV control both delays pitches with a separate jack.

3 VCO’s, 3 different VCO's ( Inputs CV, FM, PWM, Sync e.o, Output square, triagle, sawtooth and some has puls, sub, sine e.o) )

4 different VCF´s ( SVF, 24dB Lp, BPF, 12dB Lp). ( Input CV modulation, SVF has Q-CV control

3 EGR and 4 VCA’s and 5 LFO’s. (Many modules are voltage controlled)

7 Mixers ( 3 audio mixers and 4 DC-Audio mixers).

1 Phaser and 1 Delay (BDD). ( off course voltage controlled)

1 8 step analog sequencer with own clock.

1 Waveshapers, 1 wavemultiplier and 1 full wave rectifier. ( voltage controlled, except for the rectifier )

1 CPR, 1 S&H, 1 Gate delay, 1 Ringmodulator, 1 Slew limiter, 1 fixed +/- 5volt output.

1 Analog noise and 1 Digital noise. ( Digital noise voltage controlled

1 6 Banana to 3,5 mm minijack connectors.

1 Input module with trigger, gate and envelop out.

1 Stereo output module with dual panning and dual VCA. ( off course voltage controlled)"

itty bitty midi (with pikocore)

video upload by infinitedigits

"https://ittybittymidi.com

here I'm syncing the pikocore clock and start/stop and beat resetting to the midi output from the roland tb03.

the pikocore midi syncing works using a small device I call the "itty bitty midi". the "itty bitty midi" has a midi input (DIN or trs type A) which is converted out to a serial stream that can be read by the pikocore clock in. the "itty bitty midi" device can be found on my wares website (link in bio) which you can get directly from me or use the schematic to build your own (its open source and only a few components - a DIN, a resistor and two caps at minimum).

the pikocore firmware can be updated to use midi with the online tool (also link in bio) with options to change the midi clock division, synchronization behavior, etc.

hopefully in the future I can get the usb midi working too...but not quite yet. still a goal.

and just a note that I've totally floored by all the astounding pikocore creations - music-wise and hardware-wise. there are now several alternative pikocore firmwares out there (link in bio) which can be used to make pikocore become different things, which is totally amazing and just shows how incredible open-source can be. never stop!"



"itty bitty midi a simple circuit that takes either a midi din input or a midi trs type-a input, and converts it to a logic-level serial bit stream. the resulting bit stream can be used by *core devices (like the pikocore) to listen to midi signals directly through the clock inputs.

there are two versions of this product, select the one that suits you: the active version utilizes a battery-powered circuit with the 6n138 optocoupler to effectively isolate the downstream and upstream devices. the passive version does not use isolation and has no battery.

the itty bitty midi is open-source."
