"Custom Explorer 16 with wood.

bought a experimental Explorer without a keyboard.
so i thougth i do a Mini Deluxe for fun 🙂

the synth is going to have a build in focusrite soundcard.
i program the hardware so i can use it offline.

backside will be in wood, and retro handles on the sides so i can take it with me.

l like Retro look so more sanding the wood and fix the inside of it so it looks really nice."

Free Synth - QSynthi Quantum Synthesizer by AJ

video upload by Elektronick Musick

This one is in via supporting member FSK 1138.

Video description:

"Uncover Quantum Soundscapes: Experience the Sonic Potential of the Schrödinger Equation.

Play with Quantum Mechanics

Take advantage of the simulation's motion characteristics to create large and evolving sounds. Play big chords or focus on the melody – QSynthi has you covered.

Sculpt the sound you want

QSynthi brings the power of quantum physics to your sound design process. By translating a quantum simulation into dynamic and evolving sounds, it opens up a new world of possibilities for music production. This innovative instrument provides real-time, adaptive tones, enabling a unique exploration of the sonic possibilities inherent in the fascinating world of quantum phenomena.

Simulate real life phenomena

QSynthi lets you animate real-life phenomena through sound, offering a unique and interactive way to understand complex systems. Explore, tweak and play – it's quantum physics, but with a melodic twist."

"Creating a Synthesizer from Schrödinger's Equation
Arthur Freye, Jannis Müller

Our project offers an alternative approach to the sensory perception of the Schrödinger equation (an elementary model of quantum phenomena) by interpreting it as a sound wave. We are building a synthesizer plugin that simulates a quantum mechanical state that evolves over time. Thus, our tool allows the creation of unique sounds that are in motion and feel alive. These can be used in professional music production without any knowledge of physics, while at the same time providing insight into a chapter of quantum mechanics. The goal is to lower the threshold for entering complex theory by first developing an intuition for the subject; but the tool can also be used purely as a musical instrument. The user is encouraged, but not forced, to learn more about the underlying physics. Simulation parameters are adjustable in real-time, allowing intuitive experimentation. Despite the approximate calculations, real physical effects such as quantum tunneling can be observed acoustically and visually."

New FuncBud Generative MIDI Sequencer for iOS or Apple Silicon

via the developer Cem Olcay:

"I’ve released my new generative sequencer app today - FuncBud. It’s a unique and fun sequencer that uses simple math functions to generate patterns. You can create your own math functions with the function builder. It’s really fun to explore the possibilities, especially if you are interested in math."

Additional details via http://keybudapp.com/funcbud & the AppStore follow.

Make music with math!

Welcome to FuncBud, the generative sequencer that uses simple math functions to create patterns.

Create, chain, and repeat simple math functions to create complex sequences.

A simple x + 1 function would sequence all the notes in the scale in order.

But it gets more interesting when you use different formulas and chain them.

Build your math functions

The function builder lets you create functions using simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations, as well as square, square root, sum, and product operations.

You can also use parentheses to prioritize the calculation order.

The newly created function will be saved and accessible in the library across both the standalone app and AUv3 instances.

Function results are saved to the history. Sum and product operations utilize the history to perform calculations on up to 64 values.

∑3 would sum up the last 3 results, ∏3 would take product of the last 3 results.

Define your limits

FuncBud's sequencer generates the notes in the working key and scale, within the defined minimum and maximum octaves.

Min/max octave, key, scale and the root note can be defined on the top of the UI.

The sequencer rate, gate length, gate variety, velocity, velocity variety, and swing parameters can be defined using the slider at the bottom of the UI.

The loop detector can be enabled in the settings menu if you get stuck in a loop due to the nature of the math and want to break it.

Functions can be muted by swiping them to the left, and deleted by swiping them to the right.

Take advantage of the AUv3 Plugin

FuncBud app operates both as a standalone application and as an AUv3 MIDI Plugin.

You can create AU presets and use AU parameters of the AUv3 plugin.

You can control the patterns and all other parameters with AU parameters.

You can also change the parameters or change the patterns with PatternBud."

FuncBud is available in the AppStore here.
