Precision Control

With Telequencer, you have control over three independent sequence layers:

Note Durations: Sculpt rhythmic complexity with custom timing.
Ctrl Sequences: Map to any plugin or parameter, adding an expressive modulation layer.
Unparalleled Customization

Whether you're creating off-kilter experimental beats or locking into precise dancefloor grooves, Telequencer adapts to your workflow.

Low Poly Synth by warmplace.ru Now Available


video uploads by Alexander Zolotov

Follow-up to this post.



"Low Poly Synth is a generator of melodic atmospheric sounds with billions of unique timbres.
https://warmplace.ru/soft/lpsynth
(standalone app for all systems and AUv3 plugin for iOS)

The app is built on modified synthesis algorithms from Fractal Bits, Relic Waves, and Relic Flow, with the addition of pure tone generation code.
The sound space is divided into 4294967296 presets, each corresponding to a set of 8 sample textures. The volume of an individual sample can be adjusted in the top panel or via MIDI. The bottom panel is a classic musical keyboard that sets the note for the sounds in the set. Each note triggers all 8 samples at once - together they form a complex harmonic pattern that almost never repeats over time due to the different lengths of the looped fragments.

Features:
search for new sounds with three buttons: next random set, edit code, previous set; each set of 8 sounds corresponds to a code of 8 characters (you can save/copy/paste it as plain text);
three types of keyboards for live performing: on-screen, PC keyboard, MIDI input; for the on-screen keyboard, you can set the number of displayed octaves and scale;
20+ parameters can be controlled via MIDI or directly through the app interface: Settings / MIDI Mapping;
real-time audio recording to WAV (32-bit);
export to: WAV (one file or a set), SunVox (samples + effects in one file), text clipboard;
the LCK button freezes individual samples - they will not change during the search for new sets;
Wi-Fi export/import;
iOS: Audio Unit Extension (AUv3).

X1L3 - STARSTRIKE - mission complete - chip tune - YM2149f - eurorack module


video upload by X1L3

"Starstrike module running a YM2149f with final release front panel fitted.

** MISSION COMPLETE **

The sound of victory from before the world moved on.........

3 CV inputs to the 3 voice pitches, Voice 1 CV multipled to modulator rate and one gate to the noise gen on voice 3. No cheating and trying to sound like a SID with filter support, and no VCA support so no volume control either. The skill level was set to hardcore - making it sound nice while it's acting as not much more than a 3 voice drone machine 💀😅

Modulator permanently active on voice 1 for gnarly grit pitch tracking and the ringmod near the end.

YOU HAVE ENTERED THE HALLS OF THE ALL TIME GREATEST !
