Plogue chipspeech teaser

Published on Jul 18, 2014 The Plogue Channel

"We are proud to announce the third member in Plogue's 'chip' series, Plogue chipspeech.
A faithful software emulation of all major classic speech synthesis chips of the early 1980s, and a few surprises.

Its a synthesizer, not a Vocoder.
This video contains only a fraction of the hardware created/dissected for the creation of this instrument.

Coming soon..."

Patchblocks Programmable Mini Synth Modules on Kickstarter

A bit like KORG LittleBits meets Nord Modular, Pure Data & Plogue Bidule.

via Kickstarter

"Software patching goes hardware! Create your own modular synthesiser by programming Patchblocks with our software editor.

Program your own synthesiser modules

We are proud to present Patchblocks, a modular synthesiser and signal processing system where you decide what the hardware does. You want a filter module? Turn your Patchblock into one! You want a crazy sounding bassline synth with built-in arppegiator? Make it so! We provide you with an empty canvas, your imagination fills it."

"How does it work?

All you need is a Patchblock, a Mac or Windows PC and our free software. The software allows you to program your hardware module the way you want. This is done in a so called “visual programming language”, in other words, you don't have to go into 100% geek mode and write code to make it happen. Visual programming is easy, you choose from a variety of low level sound processing elements and combine their functions by connecting them with virtual cables – a bit like a modular synthesiser, but in software. Your library of software modules includes signal generators and processors (e.g. oscillators, filters, delays etc.), signal routing options and even modules for algorithmic composition. Our editor lets you emulate how your patch will sound and once you’re happy with it you can upload it to your Patchblock hardware simply by connecting it via USB. Once programmed you can unplug the Patchblock and jam away."

"What can I do with them?

A lot, it's really up to you. Plug some of your other gear in and use them as a sound processor if you want. Make an awesome noise box that produces pure digital filth. Let them play a concerto of chaos based algorithmic sequences. But also don't forget to think outside the box! Because you can combine several Patchblocks, you can make them work together. One Patchblock could for example generate an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) that you plug into another block to modulate processes that happen in there. Or you can create a chain of audio effects and processes. You can do this analogue style, by connecting them with audio cables, or via a digital connection, by clicking the Patchblocks together directly. Or even both!"

Blue Cat DP Meter Pro Part 2: MIDI Controller Output

Published on Jul 24, 2013 MusicMarketingTV·519 videos

"In this conclusion to the 2-part series on Blue Cat Audio's DPMP, Prof. Garbutt shows two active DPMPs controlling filters and envelope generators in 2 LuSH-101 synths, If your DAW supports MIDI out from an audio strip, then you can hook this up directly. This generic demo uses Plogue Bidule to host the instruments and route the MIDI."

Plogue chipcrusher: Advanced Bitcrusher, Speaker Simulator and more! | Effect Plugin

Published on Jun 4, 2013 wwwPLOGUEcom·12 videos

"chipcrusher is an advanced bitcrusher, a speaker simulator and noise machine. It's an audio effect which plays back input audio through a simulation of early lofi digital audio codecs (DAC Encoding), adds grit (Background Noise), and outputs through a selection of speaker and filter impulse responses (Post-Processing).

It can work as a VST/AU/RTAS plug-in for most major sequencing audio programs and supported tracker programs on Windows and OS X."
