SINSTANT SPACE TRAVEL!
Full Blotter is a ticket to infinity!
It’s a smart little software that can turn any audio file (or song!) into an immense psychedelic, mesmerizing ambient drone.
Simply drag and drop a file into the waveform window and prepare to reach the limits of the galaxy, in no time.

DRONE HEAVEN
Granular synthesis often works using many small grains, Full Blotter instead use a few (ten) very large grains which have sizes of several seconds.
The algorithm disintegrates transients and time and transform any audio file into a luscious stream of hypnotic frequencies.

REMIX YOURSELF OR…
Remixing your music into an ambient megadrone version has never been easier and fun and using the random functions you can let it go alone for hours.
You can use FullBlotter to meditate, sleep or well… take a bicycle travel…
Use it wisely!

2MGT METAMUSIC GENERATIVE TOOLS

This one was sent in via Brian Comnes who had the following to say (links will take you to more info):

"Here's some stocking stuffers for Christmas.

Boris Kovalev has been making ambient sound tools for over a decade. Back in 2011 I was messing with his AMBITRON and PSYBOX synths and having a lot of fun. see here

Well lately by chance I came across his latest work at 2MGT and I have to say, these are some nice tools for those of us interested in the ambient side of synthesis. Yes they are software, no real knobs to twist but they do sound really nice. Best part they are donation/freeware. I'd say they are as nice as anything Giorgio SanCristoforo is doing and getting $20 a pop for.

The UIs do take a little bit of initial head scratching to decipher and attain competence, but they offer nice eye candy to work with compared to say the current sparse dials only ones popular today.

Giorgio Sancristoforo's No-Fi Virtual Cassette Tape Loop Studio for Mac Released - Windows Coming

Presentation and Tutorial video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo

"No-Fi is a cassette tape loop studio sim made to revolutionize your creativity with warm lo-fi sound and striking simplicity!

No-Fi is not a plugin and no other software is needed, it’s standalone:
Plug your instruments, record and mix, just like the real hardware.
You have one mixer, five cassette/loop recorders, one handy reverb and one delay. That’s it!
No-Fi carefully simulates the peculiar nostalgic vintage sound of cassette loops with all the warmth of tape saturation, noises and playback irregularities that characterize the sound of true lo-fi loops.
Choose between Ferric, Chrome and Ferrochrome tapes, add background hiss, tape age and saturation, then control azimuth errors, wow, flutter, tape catch and speed to recreate an authentic lo-fi experience.

The input channels can be used with synthesizers, guitars, bass, microphones, electroacoustic instruments etc. and can load a VST/AU plugin such as a guitar amp. Alternatively you can load a virtual VST instrument and play it with your midi keyboard! The cassette tape loops can record up to 1 hour of sound each, or if you want you can import your own loops from your computer.

Tape your loops and hear the magic!
And it’s not just five tape recorders, it works as a loop station! Plug in a midi switch controller and use it as a digital looper, with an analog heart."

Additional details on the series from Giorgio Sancristoforo:

"I’m very happy to share my works at the prestigious Ernst Krenek Institut where I had the chance to play for four days and nights an original 1967 SFTMC Buchla 100 once owned by the Austrian Composer Ernst Krenek and now exhibited at his museum in Krems an der Donau Austria.

Krenek has been one of the most prolific composers of the XX Century, he has written pieces for theatre ballet opera symphonies electroacoustic and electronic music.

In 1938 after the Anschluss Krenek moved to California United States and in the late sixties he met Morton Subotnick and Don Buchla at the San Francisco Tape Music Centre.

In 1967 the same year of Subotnick’s SIlver Apples of the Moon Krenek bought la large Buchla 100 modular synthesizer which he used for a number of electronic and electroacoustic works not yet released to the public (which I hope that will be soon collected in a special release of his edition).

So here I am with Krenek’s amazing Buchla 100, probably one of the rarest and most expensive synthesizers on earth. Working with this breathtaking instrument is pure pleasure."

Giorgio Sancristoforo's Compusynth for Windows Now Available

You can find it at giorgiosancristoforo.net. You cand find demo videos in previous posts here.

"AN ALTERNATE REALITY
Compusynth is a modular synthesizer that takes inspiration from the west coast paradigm and the mighty Altair8800, one of the first personal microcomputers available to the hobbyists in the mid 70s.

With its peculiar 128 bit sequencer, oscillators, filters, efxs and processors, Compusynth is a powerful sonic laboratory thanks to its generous resources and flexible routing with 1596 patch points!

DREAM SYNTH
Compusynth has everything I ever dreamt about west coast modulars: enough resources to create tons of sounds with the addition of a large memory sequencer and a fantastic tape echo.

Compusynth can make weird experimental sounds as well as traditional fat synth sequences that will serve any music genere with its warm and deep tone.

RECORD ON TAPE
A cute tape recorder with many tape simulations is at hand to record your sound and gigs

Compusynth is made for experimentation, free from cliché and formulas, it is a magnificent tool for live improvisation, drones, strange bongos and extremely flexible for sound design.

You can use any virtual audio driver to connect Compusynth with your DAW, just in case…"
