1. O Z Hall: Zebra Synth

Dive into the enthralling world of synthesizers and witness O Z Hall's outstanding entry, "Zebra Synth", in the Synthesizers.com Composition Contest. Crafted with unparalleled precision and technique, this remarkable composition combines an array of captivating sounds that will take you on a breathtaking sonic journey.

Hall masterfully utilizes three distinctive patches in "Zebra Synth" to create an immersive soundscape. The first patch features a drone made using a Q106A oscillator, which is meticulously processed by a wave folder. Another oscillator, intertwined with linear FM from the wavefolder output, results in a fascinating "clang tone" that is beautifully amplified by a digital reverb.

In the second patch, a sequenced voice is artfully produced by employing two re-paneled Q106 oscillators. One output is channeled into the input of the linear FM, which subsequently provides intriguing timbral variations. The Q119A sequencer's 3rd row masterfully controls a Ratchet effect, adding even further depth to the composition. An expertly-applied digital delay effect enriches the output of this patch.

Lastly, the lead voice is ingeniously designed using the Q169 Dual Oscillator with Pulse Width modulation. O Z Hall skillfully manipulates the 24db/oct low pass filter in real-time to deliver an electrifying performance. The extended digital delay effect ties the entire sonic experience together.
O Z Hall's "Zebra Synth" draws its arsenal of modular synthesis tools from the Synthesizers.com catalog, including Q106, Q106A, Q119A, Q171, Q148, Q127, Q169, Q168, Q167, Q114, Q174, and Q175A modules. The creative process has been meticulously executed, showcasing how these modules can be combined to engineer a rich and dynamic sound adventure.

A Preset System Concept for the Synthesizers.com Modular

Note this is not from synthesizers.com, just an idea submitted during a contest they had. Title link takes you to more info.

"Morbius asked for suggestions on a preset storage system for use with a Synthesizers.com modular synth. Here is a concept that I came up with. A guiding principle was Morby's comment that "no computers" be used. I believe that he was opposed to anything that would require a PC (personal computer) to use, whereas a computerized module was actually within his guidelines. Regardless, I took a stab at a system that could be built using discrete logic. Although the concept presented here stretches the limits of practicality, I think it is interesting."

Alexander Rubenstein: How the most basic patch ever saved my recording session
"Welcome to the captivating world of synthesizer compositions!

Today, we're thrilled to present an inspiring entry in the Synthesizers.com composition contest, featuring the incredible talents of Alexander Rubenstein. Dive into his stunning creation, aptly titled "Why 5U?" and get ready to be transported into a realm of sonic magic and unique melodies.

Alexander's brilliant performance showcases the use of three Q106 Oscillators expertly played by hand, navigating through filters and VCAs to create a rich, mesmerizing soundscape. As the symphony unfolds, you'll also notice the inclusion of two more oscillators, cleverly routed into a DIY lowpass gate to offer a tantalizing percussive structure that breathes life and rhythm into the piece.

Alexander stays true to his personal preference by working with a carefully curated selection of simpler modules from Synthesizers.com. In this enticing performance, he includes the Q106, Q107, Q108, Q110, and Q157 modules, each bringing a unique layer of depth to the mix. The creative arrangement and impeccable execution of this electro-sonic ensemble are sure to leave you awestruck!"



"Today, we're excited to share Alexander Rubenstein's inspiring creation titled "How the most basic patch ever saved my recording session." Alexander's innovative and alluring performance began with a modest patch that had the power to spark a symphony of synth sounds.

At its core, Alexander's composition started with a single oscillator patch, a testament to the concept that sometimes, simple is better. As if by serendipity, this 1-osc patch in the background of the studio one night unlocked a world of creativity, paving the way for arpeggios, a thunderous 3-oscillator bass, solo, and lead sounds that transformed into an astonishing and immense song. 🎶"

The Doppler Effect

"The Retronyms Release DopplerPad Expressive Touch Instrument for the iPhone and iPod Touch

July 21, 2009 - San Francisco, CA

The Retronyms, makers of popular iPhone applications Recorder and FourTrack, released the DopplerPad expressive touch instrument for the iPhone and iPod Touch today. DopplerPad is a live performance music production application that was inspired by tools such as the Korg Kaosscillator, Yamaha Tenori-on, and DJ mixers. Synthesizers, samplers, and drum pads combine with stunning visual displays to create a powerful and portable instrument that is still intuitive enough for recreational use.

DopplerPad's interface imitates the standard DJ setup of a mixer with turntables on either side, but replaces the turntables with music-producing touchpads. The app launches to the mixer, where the user can access the two touchpads, their playback controls, a crossfader, and a loop bank that stores up to 14 loops.

The framework for a loop on one of DopplerPad's velocity-sensitive touchpads begins by adjusting the tempo and number of beats. Thirty-seven instruments [top image] are available to design melodies and harmonies with bass, percussion, and additional sound effects, while four samplers allow users to record snippets of any audio to add to the mix. The gate/arpeggiator and scale editor polish the loop with unique rhythms that are always in tune.

Using DopplerPad's musical tools, users can infinitely layer sounds and phrases to create complex loops with vibrant visualizations at home or on the go. Dan Walton, co-founder of the Retronyms, says "DopplerPad encourages musical improvisation by making its features easily accessible and visually integrated. Because you can remix your musical phrases, there are endless possibilities for both professional musicians and music enthusiasts to create audio-visual masterpieces anywhere."

The Retronyms are holding a video contest coinciding with the release of DopplerPad to see who can create the best DopplerPad track. Submissions will be accepted until August 21, 2009, and the prize for the winner is an iPhone 3GS.

Details of the contest rules, screenshots, and tutorials are available at http://dopplerpad.com, and the video trailer for DopplerPad can be found at http://dopplerpad.com/video.
