Free Roland D-50 Editor & Librarian – Edit Patches in Your Browser

video upload by Ian Dixon

"My free Roland D-50 Editor Librarian is a browser-based Web MIDI tool for backing up, browsing, importing and editing D-50 sounds without sending your patch data to the cloud.

In this video I show the full workflow from the YouTube transcript: connecting the D-50 over MIDI, enabling SysEx, reading the current edit buffer, opening a patch library, sending sounds to the synth, receiving a full bulk dump from the D-50, saving a library backup, importing SysEx banks, and editing classic D-50 patches such as Fantasia. The editor also makes it easier to work with the D-50's upper and lower tones, partials, PCM and synthesis structures, ring modulation, filter and amp envelopes, reverb, tuning and patch management.

The aim is to give the Roland D-50 a modern librarian/editor workflow: build a large library of card sounds and custom patches, search for sounds quickly, send patches to the edit buffer when recording, and avoid constantly swapping cards or managing small internal banks by hand.

NerDie 8-bit Engine — OUT NOW!! (no talking video)

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

"OUT NOW!! NerDie, played from start to finish.

NerDie is an 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer. Four oscillators, four LFOs, a summing tree with eight algorithms, a resonant low-pass filter and a one-bar sequencer. The whole engine runs in whole numbers at a fixed chip rate, so the overflow, the wrap and the quantisation you hear are not effects added at the end: they are the signal itself.

It runs as a plugin on Mac and Windows, and as an app on iPad and iPhone. Presets (.ner files) are the same on both, so a patch saved on the iPad opens in the plugin, and the other way round.

Ziggurat Sequencing

video upload by John Schussler

"The Ziggurat from Acid Rain is sold as a quantizer, but it has a sequencer built into it that actually is pretty nice to have around. You can't edit the sequence, so once it's in it's in, but you can make really long sequences, and you can do it for 4 voices at a time.

Plus you can transpose the root of individual channels or all channels at once, which gets fun. And if you want to give up one of the channels you can use channel 4 (or whichever) as your harmony sequence and move the others around.

This is just a short demo to show it doing its thing as a sequencer.

VCOs: Beehive/Plaits, Pony VCO, MiG VCO. Envelope: Zadar

0:20 Basic demo

The Crow Hill Company Announces Availability of Utterly Terrifying CHILDREN’S CHOIR

Utterly Terrifying Choir - WALKTHROUGH video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company announces availability of CHILDREN’S CHOIR, crafting terrifying sounds from school-age children to deliver broad spectrum of timbral possibilities

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce availability of CHILDREN’S CHOIR — crafting terrifying sounds from a school-age troupe of boys singing with just the right amount of ‘beautiful menace’ and an ability to be creative while working with the Edinburgh-based enterprise in support of delivering an instrument based around an expertly curated sample-set with a broad range of timbral possibilities designed by media composers with other media composers in mind — as of September 21…

Asked about the task of crafting CHILDREN’S CHOIR, The Crow Hill Company co-founder and media composer Christian Henson has his tongue not entirely out of his creative cheek in response, resurrecting the famous showbiz warning usually credited to American comedian W.C. Fields, effectively, by way of opening: “Never work with animals and children! So what’s this going to be like? Getting kids to be slightly demonic, evil, scary… they love it! And they totally seem to get making it so pretty that it’s scary. So we thought we’d try and nurture that spirit in a children’s choir library designed particularly for media composers — people who write for film, TV, and computer games. Why are these guys going to be wanting to use a children’s choir? Maybe there’s something set in a boarding school, maybe there’s something slightly choral and religious, but, more times than not, something unsettling is needed, and that’s where we’ve gone with this one. There are limits to how long children should be asked to perform. So, we thought we’d use the time thoughtfully, curating a selection of singing styles that capture this spirit. As opposed to giving you yet another library with ‘AAs’, ‘EEs’, ‘Ahs’, ‘Ohs’, and ‘MMs’, etcetera, AHOH, OHEH [and many more singing styles are available using the EXPRESSION wheel]. There’s some lovely WAVERING stuff where the pitch centres change. They sound great and scary when you cluster up, but on their own — or just a couple of notes — they have all sorts of childlike menace. There’s terrifying RISES and FALLS. And we’ve got a whole bunch of SHORT [singing styles].
