Arduino tracker on ESP32 developed from scratch - little sneak peak of a tracker/synthesizer project

video upload by Marcel Licence

"I have started to develop a tracker from scratch.
It runs on the ESP32 and also contains features from my previous projects.
The file format is quite simple.
All samples are integrated in the .mod file.
There are also patterns that are put together as a song.
I copied post effects from my old projects and added a feature to play the embedded sounds/samples.
Feel free to leave comments with ideas and suggestions to move the project forward.

Used tracker files:
- Patrick Phelan - Lotus3_Cd6-Shamrip.mod
- Patrick Phelan - Lotus3_Cd3-Lotus3.mod
- BOULA.MOD
- MONSTER.MOD
- PRES.MOD
- MINES.MOD
- bodyblow.mod
- 2unlimitedmagic.mod
- 2unlimitedmix.mom

Electra One - Generative Sequencer preset

video upload by Electra One MIDI Controller

"A demo of Electra One MIDI controller running a generative sequencer preset. The preset is greatly inspired by the Zoa sequencer IOS app.

Roland MKS-50, D550, and Kawai K5000 play the sequencer voices. Sound of MKS-50 is tweaked while the sequencer is running."

Schlappi Engineering NIBBLER / first patch / binary for the people

video upload by BRiES

"Nibbler is used for just about everything in this patch (sequencing melodies, triggering drums and providing stepped modulation). Everything else that needs to be said is right there in the video. I kindly suggest (if you have the time and the energy) you just watch/listen first and then do a rewatch while reading the captions to get to grips with what's happening. This is just a basic patch using only the most basic functionality of both NIBBLERS but nonetheless it can get a 'bit' confusing.

Thanks to the wonderful people at Schlappi Engineering for their trust and support.

PS: Spielberg please make it happen.
PS2: Federico if you're reading this: I'll start working on the SINGOLI video soon
PS3: if you're into LPGs, you should really have a look at what Herzlich Labs is doing."

The SINGER - Toy sewing machines and synths

video upload by Love Hultén

"Commissioned setup using two MOOG Mother-32s, a Strymon Magneto and 3x toy sewing machines from the 70s. The machines are triggered via MIDI and can be played using sequencers or the hidden pull-out keybed.

Very happy how this one turned out!"
