Graphic Editor for the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP & Audio Numberz

http://itijik.com/zdspde.html

"Display text editor for use with TipTop Audio Z-DSP, and TipTop Audio Numberz.

The editor is able to open and save .txt files, for quick text recall with Z-DSP screen formatting. It also exports .hex files if needed. But the coolest part is...it now writes directly to Numberz! Just one application for all of your text editing. No more using pickit2 and having to select devices or eprom parts. Just click the write button, confirm and its done!

Please donate to show your appreciation for our programmer. He has made an awesome tool for our Z-DSP projects!...and has done it on his own time!

This donation will not only help with the continuous stream of Mountain Dew needed to keep the code flowing, but it will also encourage future development for the modular community. Thank you."

BUGBRAND Weevil08 synth oscillator touch

via this auction

Description via BugBrand where you'll find samples.

"Released Feb08
Here's the new Weevil08 - three lo-fi oscillators quasi-ringmodulated together, with PowerStarve, Filter, 9-point-TouchPlate and internal MiniAmp.

While the core Weevil circuitry is similar to the Postcard, the sonic results are quite different - for one, each Osc has a range switch for Hi tones or Lo clickety, and the output levels are much more stable due to a comparator circuit (don't worry - there's still loads of chaos within!). The combination of PowerStarve and responsive TouchPlate opens up a vast array of sounds that are played in a way unlike any other instrument. The internal MiniAmp is now a standard feature and gives a pretty different tone/response from the output jack. Plugging in a jack conveniently disconnects the internal MiniAmp.

This is a newly standardised version built with pro-PCBs for improved feel and replicatability, available in Green or Red with chunky knobs in a sprayed plastic case and running off a single 9V battery.

You can check the block diagram for details of the internal arrangement, but it may be best just to listen to the mp3 demo (11MB) that wobbles through some of the wide-ranging sounds available!"

BUGBRAND Micro BugCrusher

via this auction
Description via BugBrand where you'll find samples.
"The BugCrusher effect comes from using a Sample & Hold circuit clocked at audio rates - this Sample Rate Reduction is an analogue process and should not be confused with BitCrushing [most BitCrush plugins will have Sample Rate and Bit Depth controls]. Rate Reduction sounds somewhat like RingModulation, but tends to appear more musical - at high frequencies you get a fizzle to the sound while maintaining most of the original audio, and at low frequencies any high notes will seem to wrap-around and the overall sound is much more chaotic. You could read about Aliasing and Nyquist for further technical details.

The Micro or μCrusher features two simple controls, one to set the Sample Rate and one to Blend between the Dry and Effected signals.

There is a button to Engage/Bypass the effect with a status LED. As the case and switch are not designed to be stompable, an external footswitch can be attached via the front jack socket. This should be a simple momentary switch such as keyboard sustain pedal. Switching is achieved electronically and is noiseless - the effect is not true-bypass and audio always passes through an input buffer amplifier even when bypassed. The devices has a unity gain structure and applies no amplification to signals.

The Micro is happy with instrument or line input signals. Input and Output connections are on the rear with standard Mono 1/4" Jack Sockets - note that Mono cables should always be used as inserting a jack plug into the Input socket serves to apply power to the unit in typical stompbox manner.

Power is supplied on a standard external 'Boss-type' 9V Regulated DC Supply with 2.1mm centre-negative barrel plug. A simple battery connector is also supplied with each unit. Max. power consumption is 10mA and the device is polarity and over-current protected.

The MicroCrusher features PCB material panel and end-cheeks and is enclosed in a metal case measuring 12 x 8 x 4.5 cm. Some of the metal cases come in black dependent on supply. Each device comes in a stamped cardboard box with instruction sheet. The Micro is covered by a 1 year parts & workmanship guarantee."

Note the date of the video. The video was just linked in the auction for demo purposes and is not the one for sale. The following is from the description: "The build quality of the Syndrum is typically seventies American ( moog Arp) but seems to do all that's needed occasionally you get a sticky slider or switch but most of us can deal with that if you want to fully restore it is is thankfully fully discreet circuitry and all parts are available i haven used the pads ( loom is included ) i was triggering this from voltage triggers or sound sources i don't think the 4 pads are working properly but its probably only a minor issue with leads or connections it has been describes as 4 Moogs in a box? http://electro-music.com/forum/post-15480.html i can tell you it has a very wide range of sounds and extremely wide range LFOs at times it can get out of control but if you can control it then huge subsonic kicks . crispy snares and melodic toms toms are all there all 4 voices are identical this has a far wider range of sounds than other electro drums of the late seventies ( like Simmons SDS5 - i have owned all of them at some stage ) the book had not been written yet and rules were broken"

Hohner bass pedals

YouTube via organfairy | Mar 1, 2011 |

"This set of bass pedals is quite special. Instead of a VCO, VCF, and VCA it has a capacitor controlled oscillator, a fixed filter, and a light modulated amplifier.

I show the inside of the instrument and play a piece of music where I use it for the bass line.

The other instruments are Böhm Station One workstation and Roland E-15 keyboard."

Orion Pro-9

"The new Pro-9 generator is a complete overhaul of the former XR-909 generator. The Pro-9 offers virtual-analog drum sound modelling of breathtaking quality and accuracy, not only making it indistinguishable from the analog reference hardware, but also providing that analog "feel" which mere sample-based recreations lack.

The user interface comprises controls for each drum sound, as well as a classic drum machine step sequencer, for quick and easy pattern programming. There is a total of 11 sounds that can be synthesized, including Bass Drum, Snare, Toms, Clap, Rimshot, Hihats and Cymbals. The Pro-9 is fully compatible with the General MIDI (GM) drum map, so it can be played via MIDI gear as well."

"Unlike most other software drum machines, the Pro-9 is not sample-based, but offers virtual-analog modelling of a breathtaking quality and accuracy."

Buchla 255 Used for Automated Voice Dynamics

"Another rare dry track from me. No reverb at all, I forgot to turn on the Eclipse, so dry it is. Changing envelope lengths attacks, and other stuff so that the voiced don't compete with one another, levels are screwy, but you can hear the proof of concept. The 255 inverts (around 5v) which is weird, but makes perfect sense in the Buchla boat. Gotta figure out how to record in stereo, you're missing the swirlies and I think the ZOe cancelled itself out a little bit, it was louder in person."

VSP-330 Voice Synth Plus beta r2

YouTube via FlakeStick | Feb 28, 2011 |

"Version 2 beta sound test of my Voice Synth Plus VST plugin. Ready for download soon - stay tuned!

Added Features:
- Stunning new GUI looks more like a vintage instrument
- "pitch set" knob for the pitch shift slider
- "tune" knob like the original, global detuning by +/- 50 cents
- ensemble controls: rate, depth, amount
- power button!
- and a wicked new feature....OSC2 detuning! OSC2 is the source for Male 8' and string Bass 16'. Instead of OSC2 being restricted to one octave below OSC1, pitch intervals can now be set. You can also make OSC2 be very close to OSC1 tuning, resulting in two voice unison detuned-type sounds. It takes the classic VP-330 sound to a whole new level - you will not believe your ears!


The audio was recorded in Cubase on four tracks w/ no other processing added - ALL VSP-330!"

50 Modular Frequency Modulation Basics

YouTube via 7thDanSound | Feb 28, 2011 |

"I planned to make a massive FM patch to see how cool that would be. I studied up on Gordon Reids fantastic Synth Secret series in SOS and happily went along. The patch didn't quite turn out as I had planned however and instead of being a bit FM thing it turned out a somewhat modulated sound playing a nice little arpeggiated melody. I like it a lot and I think it shows a bit of the basics of frequency modulation with a modular synth."

"Yes, it's basic, monophonic, and limited to sin waves, but I challenge you to create a velocity sensitive synth in less than 1 minute with fewer max objects!

I'm going to add features in future tutorials, including polyphony, other waveforms, filters, envelopes and much more, so subscribe and tune in! Will include modulation for that dubstep/DNB wobble of course!"

M4L : One minute synth Pt 2 : the ADSR~ envelope : Learning Max for Ableton live tutorial

Uploaded by eameres2 on Mar 2, 2011

"Second Part of our "one minute max" tutorials. Today we add an ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release" envelope to our mono-synth. This allows you to control the basic timing of the sound. Short attack and long decay/release for a bell like tone, full sustain and no release for a flute/organ like tone, etc.

I was able to get the bulk of the work done in under a minute, but I took a some extra time to explain things and label our new synths parameters. I don't want to short-change anyone!

Note that the first argument of the ADSR~ object is the trigger, and it preserves the velocity sensitivity "feature" we have going! The envelope varies from 0.0 to 1.0 so multiplying it against our signal is what gives our sound "shape".

Subscribe and tune in 2 days or so, we'll be adding a basic filter and eventually be adding polyphony! And of course useful dubstep and DNB effects!"
