Black Corporation Kijimi TouchOSC Bidirectional Editor v5.0

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 v2.0.0):

- 1 Editor Page for main, LFO and ADSR2 Common Program parameters (some Global parameters are also on that page)

- 2 Editor Pages for LFO and ADSR2 Individual Program parameters (and duplication of key LFO and ADSR2 parameters for a better workflow)

- 1 Editor Page for ARP and Microtuning Global parameters

- All 240 Program + Global parameters implemented in the editor. Program and Global parameters are bidirectional using CC and SYSEX

- MIDI Channel selection slider (this is the Kijimi MIDI Receive Global parameter)

- Bank (change) + Program (change) selection slider + buttons

- Buffer Request, Buffer Init, Buffer Write and Program Write buttons using SYSEX

- Hide / unhide specific LFO and ADSR2 features based on Common / Individual parameters selection (see video for a demonstration)

WORKFLOW 1 EDITING FROM PATCH (starting at 00:06 in the video above):

- Select a Bank & Program

- Press Buffer Request to load it to the editor

- Start editing (the loaded patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)

- Select a Bank & Program (Optional)

- Press Program Write to save it in the synth

WORKFLOW 2 EDITING FROM SCRATCH (starting at 03:56 in the video above):

- Press Buffer Init to send an init patch to the synth buffer

- Start editing (the init patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)

- Press Buffer Request to record it in your DAW / SYSEX librarian; or save it manually in the synth

- Press Program Write to save it to the synth

FEATURE REQUESTS / BUG FIXES:

- Go to the video Description on Vimeo

https://vimeo.com/1102655869

MOTIVATION:

- Consistent User Experience (no skeuomorphism): Color coding of synth blocks (VCO1 in blue, VCO2 in green, VCF in orange, etc..) which makes it extremely efficient and consistent across synths (rather than using different synth UI or dedicated editors).

Synths That Tanked! Top 15 Value Crashes You Won’t Believe!?

video upload by Andy Whitmore

You be the judge. Feel free to comment below.

"💥 The biggest synth value crashes of all time! These once-iconic instruments lost tens of thousands in value—from legendary analog giants to futuristic digital monsters.

You've seen the synths that became priceless icons… but what about the ones that didn’t?

In this countdown, we reveal 15 professional synthesizers that lost the most value from their original prices (adjusted for inflation). From boutique rarities to digital behemoths, these are the synths that hit the market hard—and hit resale even harder.

🎹 We cover:

Synth name + release year

Original price + adjusted inflation value

Current resale value

Total loss 💸

A fun or tragic fact per synth

Whether it's a Fairlight, Synclavier, or the ultra-rare GX-1, some of this gear once cost more than a house… and now? Let’s just say you could buy one for the price of a laptop.

🧠 Think you can guess the biggest loser?"

Whimsical Patching

video uploads by Whimsical Raps

Playlist:

1. Whimsical Patching // 1. Audio-Rate Modulation

from Dani:
"One of my favorite aspects of modular synthesis is that signals we can hear are made of the same basic building block as signals which provide control and modulation -- they're all just voltage moving at different rates!

When we use an audio signal in the place of control voltage, we're touching into a technique broadly known as audio-rate modulation. Using audio-rate modulation in the Whimsical Raps ecosystem is incredibly rewarding, as it can unlock unexpected behaviors in familiar and new modules alike.

Here, Mangrove (our formant oscillator) modulates Silhouette's (our new 'signal combiner') SPOT, which is mixing six audio channels from Just Friends (our six-voice digital oscillator). I noticed that sending Mangrove into SPOT bleeds Mangrove's audio signal into the mix, so I tuned Mangrove to harmonize with Just Friends. This endowed FORMANT changes with new power, adding harmonic depth to the chaotic modulation -- notice the sizzle around 0:30 as FORMANT is cranked up.

Once INTONE adds distance between the ratios of Just Friends' oscillations, I reduce FORMANT to a low-frequency grumble -- I particularly enjoyed Silhouette's delayed vocalizations of these changes across the stereo field. Manually scanning SPOT offsets the input channels we're highlighting, which reveals the new INTONE-spread pitches. Increasing FORMANT introduces audible discontinuities as Mangrove regains its pitch, which are unique in the left and right channels. A final INTONE adjustment is added for performative spice, which is caught by the bucket-brigade device for a muted splash of stereo color."
