Fred's Lab Manatee TouchOSC Bidirectional Editor v4.0

via synth_nyc

NB: This Bank B has entirely been created using the editor.

This is my favorite patch in that bank. It illustrates what the Manatee can do like a warm FM full body pad (that you can do on a DX synth) but with an aggressive attack and subtle spectral decay and movement that only the Manatee can do AFAIK.

Thanks to Fred’s Lab for providing me with the MIDI NRPN (and CC) specifications.

GENERIC FEATURES:
- Display parameter Name and Value
- Double click a slider or button to reset it to a default value
- MIDI data rate efficient: only sends a MIDI message if the parameter value is incremented or decremented by 1

SPECIFIC FEATURES (FW v1.06d):
- 1 Editor Page for the Part Main parameters
- 1 Editor Page for the Part Auxiliary parameters
- 1 Editor Page for the Multi parameters
- 1 Editor Page for the System parameters
- All 162 Part + 27 Multi + 48 System parameters implemented in the editor using NRPN. Part parameters are bidirectional using NRPN and SYSEX.
- MIDI Channel selection slider
- Bank (change) + Program (change) selection slider + buttons
- Buffer Init button using SYSEX

WORKFLOW 1 EDITING FROM PATCH (starting at 00:05 in the video above):

- Start editing (the loaded patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)
- Go to the synth, press and hold the 1 button to record it in your DAW / SYSEX librarian; or save it manually in the synth

WORKFLOW 2 EDITING FROM SCRATCH (starting at 01:18 in the video above):

Sailing the Styx : dual SID chiptune composed in DAW

video upload by MIDI IN

"I decided to use MIDISID in a mode that I don't use so often, to drive the 6 SID voices directly from my DAW with some automation of parameters using CC messages. Since the CC control is hidden unless you've read the manual thoroughly, I've made a little tutorial after the track.

Synclavier's Cameron Warner Jones to be Knobcon's Guest of Honor

via Knobcon

"We are delighted to announce Cameron Jones as our esteemed guest of honor. Join us at the annual banquet for his keynote address and to help us honor him.

Cameron Warner Jones is the co-inventor and principal software architect of the Synclavier, the groundbreaking digital synthesizer and music workstation developed in the late 1970s. Jones, co-founder of New England Digital, designed the Synclavier’s real-time software engine, interface, and iconic button panel, helping create one of the most advanced instruments of its era—combining FM and additive synthesis, sampling, and sequencing. He later revived the technology through modern apps and hardware, ensuring the Synclavier’s legacy lives on.

The annual catered banquet will be held Saturday, September 6, 2025 at 7pm in the Sapphire Pavilion. Tickets are available as an add-on to your Knobcon attendance. Seating is limited."

video upload by GenosKeys

"The original Roland V-Synth keyboard was released in 2003. The V-Synth XT (Rackmount) was released in 2005. Roland later released the V-Synth GT keyboard in 2007 which added a new synthesis architecture called Articulative Phrase (AP) Synthesis plus it had 28-note polyphony versus the V-Synth and V-Synth XT's 24-note polyphony. You can find used V-Synth XT's on Reverb.com for $1,000-$1,350. The V-Synth XT cost $3,000 brand new when it was released."
