BugBrand Modular and Mini-Modular Synths

Remember BugBrand? Looks like they now have a Modular and Mini-Modular Synth. Title link takes you to the BugBrand Sound Devices page currently featuring the Mini-Modular with samples. Here is a link to the Modular Synth page.

The Mini-Modular contains:
* Input Mixer - Audio Input Preamp, Noise Source, Extra Channel
* VCOs x 2 - Lofi Voltage Controlled Oscillators with audio or lfo rates producing vari-shape Tri / Sqr waveforms - certainly no 1v/oct tuning here!
* State-variable VCF - Voltage Controlled Filter with Lo / Band / Hi - pass responses and variable resonance (up to screamy self-oscillation)
* Output Mixer - two channel output mixer
* Ring Modulator - AD633 type with modulation option
* Attenuverter - signal level control and inverter
* Foot Control - CV generator from volume pedal with adjustable range

DIY Drum Grid Editor for Touch Screen

Music Thing will post a link as soon as the link is available. It looks pretty interesting. Like a software version of the monome.

A(mbient ) - 100

Title link takes you to Widtek Studio and A(mbient)-100. A(mbient)-100 is a collection of tracks from various artists using the Doepfer A-100 modular synthesizer. Tracks feature Efofex, Unyo303, and Charles Graef; a few names I recognize from the various synth lists. There's more info on the project and downloads after the hop.
