A custom OS for the Korg DW-8000

video upload by tubesockor

"I reverse engineered the OS (firmware) of the Korg DW-8000 from 1985, and have started to add some new features. Bringing some new life to a 40 year old synth!

First up, as a proof-of-concept, is an additional waveform for the LFO.

I'll add more features, so if you have a DW-8000 and are wishing for things, let me know in the comments!"

Extended Range Slope Filter (VCFS) mod test 1 - Low-Gain Electronics | Serge Modular 4U

"Experimenting with the extended range mod for the slope filter (VCFS)

Negative slope is running through the VCFS then into the FM input on an oscillator. So pitch modulation provides an idea of the CV mangling that can be achieved."

Ambient w/ Prophet-10, OP-1 field, SPECULAR TEMPUS | Sparse State 2025-02-20

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. It's a beatless track where synth harmonies, enhanced by spatial effects, resonate.

On the OP-1 field, I trigger harmonies with a MIDI sequence output from my DAW, while layering in live keyboard playing. I also manually operate the synth's filter with a knob. The output is processed with ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS’s Shimmer Reverb.

On the Prophet-10, I play sounds with a slower attack, and its output is routed through ‪@strymon‬ blueSky to apply deep reverb."

Batverb is the stereo reverb that dreams are made of: less of a room simulator and more of a tail generating pedal, Batverb is an instrument in its own right.

Taking inspiration from our popular tail-generating modules, Batverb brings reverberation and delay to a whole new level with extensive control of timbre, echoes, and dynamics.

Start by setting a predelay time and adjusting Regen to set the length of the tail, from a short slapback-style echo to an infinite wall of reverberation. A variety of unique controls make Batverb sing in any signal chain:

Doom adds in chaotic suboctaves, and Shimmer brings in haunting overtones. With each on its own control, go wild and have both at the same time!

Low and high damping settings for the reverb tank

Add filtering and harmonics to reverb tails

Built-in saturation can apply to only the wet signal or the whole output
Includes onboard dry/wet Blend control and input- and output-gain parameters

Unique Duck switch controls the reverb’s behavior: duck out of the way of an input signal, or match the dynamics of your playing, similar to a gated reverb

Create instant atmospheres with reverb-freezing Hold footswitch
Route the expression input can to any parameter on the pedal

Store and recall 16 different presets and recall them in response to MIDI program-change messages.

Noise Engineering announces Batverb, an experimental reverb, delay, and infinite-tail generator

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their expansive selection of synthesizer effects and sound sources, announces Batverb, a distinctive stereo reverb with a twist.

Noise Engineering’s take on reverb has always been innovative, creating effects that are as much instruments as they are processors. Batverb is no exception: parameters allow the resulting effects to morph organically from slapback delays to infinite reverb tails.

“Batverb was inspired by our Desmodus Versio module, but when we tried to bring the Desmodus experience to guitar, we realized quickly that we would need to rethink the approach. Batverb shares concepts with Desmodus but shares zero code: the entire thing was redesigned from the ground up, with the dynamics and tonality of guitar at the forefront,” said Stephen McCaul, Chief Noisemaker at Noise Engineering. Kris Kaiser who is the Doer of Many Things at the small company added, “Working with guitar was key, but what sounds great on guitar also works really well for loads of other instruments.” Indeed, Batverb’s stereo I/O and MIDI integration make it a perfect choice for a multitude of instruments.

Kaiser continued, “I like to say Batverb isn’t your father’s reverb because it has such unique features.” She’s not wrong. Along with predelay/delay Time and Regen controls, Batverb includes a number of parameters for shaping the tone of the reverb itself. The Grit switch adds a unique harmonic distortion to the tail or the whole mix, and the Doom and Shimmer controls add in subharmonics and overtones. Batverb also has onboard adjustable highpass and lowpass filters to shape the tone to taste.

Batverb’s configurable Bypass footswitch can cut the reverb tail immediately, or simply mute the input to the reverb processor, allowing the tail to ring out while you play. The Infinite footswitch mutes the input to the reverb tank while maximizing the feedback for an infinite atmosphere.

The innovative Duck switch uses the dynamics of your playing to shape the reverb tail. Use the right setting to duck the reverb out of the way of your guitar’s tone, or the left setting to make the reverb’s dynamics match your guitar’s.

Batverb also stores/recalls up to 16 presets with MIDI Program Change messages. Batverb features a convenient MIDI thru jack, so it’s easy to patch into your MIDI control chain. In addition, all parameters can also be controlled via MIDI for automation and remote control from a DAW or configurable controllers.

Noise Engineering is a member of 1% for the Planet and has been donating a percentage of all sales to environmental conservation. Proceeds from Batverb will benefit the organization Bat Conservation International.

Batverb is available for preorder with MSRP of $499. It starts shipping March 13 from noiseengineering.us and retailers worldwide.

Batverb was designed and built in sunny Southern California.

"TeensyMix synth is an 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer based on the Teensy 4.1 development board. It is designed to be an easy build with just an LCD display and a digital to analog converter. An Akai MIDImix is used to control the synthesizer. The MIDImix is a compact and afforable MIDI based mixing controller with 24 dails, 9 sliders and 19 buttons with LEDs.

All sound parameters of the synthesizer can be controlled directly using these dials, sliders and buttons. No complicated menus and pages of parameters to scroll through!

Code and schematics are available for free on GitHub:
