genoQs Machines: Oktoberfest - Launching OS v1.60

via the genoQs newsletter:

"Dear all,
many months of hard work were needed to bring you the latest and greatest OS to your machines.. And now, here it is: we proudly present OS v1.60 for Octopus and Nemo!

The new OS is a significant leap forward and it includes numerous new features, and workflow improvements. Too many to list here really, but all minutiously captured in the latest release notes document. Our main page links to all that information and more: www.genoqs.net

Remarkable about OS v1.60 are the significant contributions provided by our users, which include those in a "source code" way! Without those, the machines simply would not be, what they are now. Or, as soon as you update yours..

Happy Oktober everyone!
Marcel and Gabriel

Alias Zone: Iceland (performed by Chris Meyer of Learning Modular)

video upload by Learning Modular

"This performance of Iceland was created for the 2021 edition of SoundMiT. In a slight change from my recent instrumentation, I played my smaller portable modular synthesizer system, as well as several of my polyphonic synthesizers. Hope you enjoy it!

genoQs Machines - Launching NEMO!

"Stuttgart, July 1st, 2008

Dear all,
back in March at the Musikmesse 2008 we have presented Nemo, the portable sequencing machine
that delighted many hearts and souls with its unconventional appearance, form factor, and power!

We take big pride in what Nemo has finally become over the past few months, and we hope you will too!
Today, on the 1st of July 2008, we are excited to share with you the great news:

Nemo is here!
Enjoy with us the material now available on our site (www.genoqs.com) describing the new machine:
- the storyboard provides an introduction to the operating model of Nemo.
- the manual describes all features in great detail, while
- the picturebook is a collection of Nemo poses over the last few weeks.

We are much looking forward to your comments, questions and feedback!
Nemo is available for order now, with delivery of pre-ordered and reserved machines starting Moday, July 7th.

Once again, our sincere thank you for the years of commitment, support and dialogue, which is probably the single most important driver that led us to this accomplishment!

DIY Synthesizer with ESP32 (super/hyper saw, aliasing free oscillators)

video by Marcel Licence

"This video shows some impressions of using the ESP32 for a little synthesizer project.
All processing is done on one core with sampling rate of 48kHz.
I've connected a master keyboard via MIDI to a serial input.
The synth actually can play 6 voices together (also with 6 oscillators per voice in unison/detuned mode).
The oscillators are aliasing free (wave forms had been generated in advance to avoid fold back of frequencies above nyquist).
Rough ADSR for velocity and filter is implemented.
---
I am preparing a little arduino project for sharing. It will be available soon..."

You can find additional posts featuring the ESP32 here.

via the genoQs newsletter:
"Dear all, almost 5 weeks ago we started the genoQs 5 years celebration 'season', most notably featuring a significant price discount on our product line*.

The response has been tremendous! We thank you for that and are more proud than ever of our machines and our history.

Looking forward, we will drive the delivery of the backlog, while at the same time continue with perseverence our work towards the next level.
Wishing you happy sequencing and a beautiful summer!

Polyphonic synthesizer, first steps with DaisySeed (DIY MIDI module based on STM32, no arduino yet)

video by Marcel Licence

Timeline (description and resource links below) Intro: (0:00) Overview: (0:50) Hardware: (1:36) (Basic)Oscillator: (1:52) VariableSawOscillator: (4:02) VariableShapeOscillator: (5:17) Delay: (6:41) ReverbSc: (7:48) Unisono: (8:32) Chorus: (9:12) Overdrive: (9:48) Tremolo: (12:31) Outro: (13:06) "I've started trying out the Daisy™ Seed from electro-smith. It's an embedded platform using the STM32 as a microcontroller including DAC, external RAM etc. To get a first impression I've created a little polyphonic synthesizer project using the Open Source DSP Library (DaisySP). In addition to that some voice processing etc. was required to get the synth working. At the moment I do not have a direct comparison to the ESP32. It is compatible with arduino but you can also just program with your C++ editor. The STM32 board library has been updated in arduino recently and caused compiling issues. Now I just worked with a makefile based project to get it running. I think soon an arduino implementation would be also possible. Finally the sources are basically the same (arduino does just the multi file compilation magic) References: https://www.electro-smith.com/daisy/d... https://github.com/electro-smith/Dais... https://github.com/electro-smith/DaisySP https://github.com/electro-smith/libD..."

genoQs Machines Info - Sequencing Summer!

via the genoQs mailing list:

"Dear all,

we hope you all enjoy the summer!
Once again, we'd like to share with you some good news, interesting things and lots of ice cream on top!


1. Octopus - The Shell launching
2. Octopus - Lion Head launching
3. Nemo - Black Sea launching
4. Operating System v1.62

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1. Octopus - The Shell
Announced at Musikmesse 2009 for July 1st, 2009, The Shell is ready for order on our web site or from your genoQs dealer.
The Shell combines industrial-strength materials, no-compromise engineering and the world's most sought after sequencer
in a road case, which by the way will also turn your studio into something similar to a time machine. You probably know what we mean.
Check out the picturebook and convince yourself:
www.genoqs.com/downloads/PB_Octopus_TheShell.pdf

2. Octopus - Lion Head
One day we asked our woodmaker to build a sequel for our successful and limited Octopus Legacy line. And wow - he did..
We were stunned by the looks of the massive pear wood mounting black anodized panels - Lion Head was born!
The classic Octopus form factor, with a fresh and natural color twist - available now!
See the new compiled picture book featuring the full Octopus line, to be found here:
www.genoqs.com/downloads/PB_Octopus_Impressions.pdf

3. Nemo Black Sea - Limited Edition (25)
Exactly one year ago we unleashed Nemo! To celebrate this success we thought there is no better time than now to announce the
limited edition Nemo Black Sea: Black casing, black painted panels, white painted lettering and blue/yellow/purple LEDs.
Available for order now, Nemo Black Sea is limited to 25 machines world wide! Secure yours on our order page now.
Once you've done that, you may check out the picturebook as well (spoil danger!)
www.genoqs.com/downloads/PB_Nemo_BlackSea.pdf

4. Operating System v1.62 for Octopus and Nemo
New life is new soul - so we built some fresh bytes to go with the new hardware!
The operating system v1.62 injects new features and soul into the machines and comes pre-installed on all machines of the new series.
Of course, all operating machines out there will benefit as well - the OS update will be made available shortly in our service area.
To get the full picture of what is new and important in the new OS follow the link below:

Always yours,
Gabriel and Marcel"
