BE SPEAK & SPELL INCARNATE with Sonic Charge Bitspeek

"http://www.soniccharge.com/bitspeek for you to try the demo and BE SPEAK & SPELL LIKE ME. Official blurb:
--
About Bitspeek
Sonic Charge Bitspeek is a real-time pitch-excited linear prediction codec effect. Right now you are probably thinking, "oh, another one of those"? Or perhaps not. Chances are that you have never heard about "linear prediction", although most of us use it daily when we talk on our cell phones. Linear prediction coding is a voice compression technology that appeared in commercial products in the seventies and was implemented in some well-known speaking toys of the early eighties.
We have applied this technology to create a VST / AU effect plug-in that analyzes audio, extracts a number of parameters (including pitch, volume and formant data) and then resynthesizes the audio using a simple oscillator, noise and filter architecture.
We have added a number of playback parameters that adjusts the pitch and tonal quality of the sound as well as support for MIDI and a beat-synchronized "formant freezing effect". Despite having only a few simple controls, this box can produce a broad range of sounds from cheap speaking toys to high-end vocoder and talkbox effects."

Own My Moog Taurus
Own My Moog Taurus from TACG on Vimeo.
"Up on the block is my Moog Taurus I -- the original, first generation, and still the fattest two-voice analog synth in the land. And this includes the Taurus 3, which, while feature-laden, does not pack the same voluptuous sonic goodness as this one. Why? Who can say? But I'm not particularly golden-eared, and even I note the difference in the A/B shootouts I've heard.
So:
If you've never heard one, I've put together a little demo of its funky fatness. No effects or eq in this clip. As you can see in the video, it's in fantastic shape, with very little external wear and tear, and everything is in perfect working order. The glass flap above the custom controls is removable, and I sometimes take it off for better access, as you can see in some of the shots.
As you can also see in the video, filter and volume controls were designed as sliding foot pedals. This was a fantastic idea which was replaced by a more typical mod/pitch bend wheel configuration on the Taurus 3. Too bad. The little pedals are chunky and easy to grab, which makes it simple to do rapid envelope-follower style effects with a flick of the wrist. This works because you can tell by sight and by touch exactly where the pedal is in its travel. And the length of travel is just long enough to provide good resolution, while being short enough and smooth enough to travel quickly from fully open to fully closed. Check the clip for several examples of this.
I need to free up some space in the arsenal for some other things, and I really don't use the Taurus as much as it deserves to be used, so it's time to let it go. Hopefully you can give it a more active lifestyle than I have.
$1950. Will personally deliver in NYC to ensure safe arrival of this vintage piece.
Thanks!"

NAMM & NOT NAMM - New Products on the Synth Front
Well, it's that time of year again. Keep an eye out on the NAMM label (added to top right menu) for everything NAMM and more.

Nice T!!! :) Added to the MATRIXSYNTH Hall of Fame!
"A caffeinated, volume-unsteady adventure with the new HxC SD Floppy Emulator from www.lotharek.pl -- installed into a Korg DSS-1 Sampler/Synthesizer to replace the old 720K drive.
I am not a DSS-1 expert, nor have I owned this beast for any notable length of time, however, I couldn't stand the fact I couldn't use it fully without the floppy drive. Hopefully, problem solved! These are remarkable music machines, and people have done some incredible things with them, even after a quarter century of other synthesizers, manufacturers and trends changing all around."
