ScottG FPGA MIDI Synthesizer Information and Source Files

http://home1.gte.net/res0658s/FPGA_synth/

Another FPGA project.

You'll find the following:
# Avnet Board PolyDaWG/8 Synth Details and Source
8 voice Polyphonic Karplus-Strong string physical model synth redesigned for the small Avnet Spartan-3A development board.

# GateMan I FPGA MIDI Monosynth
Linear Arithmetic Subtractive Monosynth, 4 NCOs with 4 waveforms each. This is the first version of the GateMan synths.

# GateMan II & GateMan III FPGA MIDI Monosynths
Linear Arithmetic Subtractive Monosynth, 4 NCOs with 4 waveforms each. GateMan II contains a state variable filter which replaces the simple IIR filter in GateMan I. GateMan III is also described, the major difference being better use of RAM and fewer flip flops in the design.

# Digital Waveguide Information
General digital waveguide information plus 8 voice Polyphonic Karplus-Strong string physical model synth for Spartan-3E Starter Kit development board

# GateManPoly
Linear Arithmetic Subtractive Polysynth (8 voice), 4 NCOs per voice, each NCO supports 4 waveforms.

# PolyDaWG8 on Spartan-3A DSP.html
Test port of PolyDaWG8 on Spartan-3A DSP 1800 Development Board.

# Xarp-56
Xarp-56 (pronounced 'harp fiftysix') is a 56 voice physical model using the Karplus-Strong string model. Each of the 56 strings is implemented as an individual digital waveguide and not multiplexed/reused as in the PolyDaWG synths.

Plan B Model 15 Complex VCO

via the Plan B list:
"Effective today we are beginning shipments of the newly re-designed Model 15 Complex VCO which incorporates two major changes: The elimination of Cliff Jacks and 12 point to point interconnect wires.

The circuit, the module functionality and the price remains unchanged. These improvements were put in play to increase our production throughput, decrease the potential for field failures with the elimination of the 12 hand-soldered wires and addresses the continual Cliff jack availability issue which has shut our production line down in the past, most notably last summer at the worst possible time imaginable: two weeks before the ELFs were to be released when Cliff announced they were halting worldwide production for three months.

Freed from those constraints I am confident the M15 availability will flourish."

MS-2000b preset fun

YouTube via d0gg0d
"I got bored one day and record myself playing around with the presets on my MS-2000b. Everything you hear but the drums is the MS-2000b. I did add some minor effects here and there on some parts.

Hear more of my music at:

Hope you enjoy it."

Circuit Bent NES - Version 2.0 - Pixel Form (audio visualizer mod)

YouTube via pixelform
"This is a demostration video of the second version of my audio reactivity modification/bend for the original NES.

Sound is input through a 1/4 inch jack, goes through a bit of custom circuitry (soon to be documented in detail) and mangles the video output in response to the input sound.

TB-303+TR-606+Shuffle Generator (High Res Video)

YouTube via pepemogt
"Dr. Bostich Jamming with the legendary TB-303 and TR-606 using a Shuffle Generator. The audio recording was made without any effect, the idea was to capture the natural sound of them.
enjoy!!!!

Korg Radias emulates the phased strings of the Eminent 310U - Equinoxe part 2

YouTube via Yorkshirelad69

"Equinoxe part II. Original music composed by Jean Michel Jarre.

This video is here only to show the Korg Radias doing quite a passable emulation of the phased strings created by passing the sound of the Eminent 310U through an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phaser.

This is swirling string sound that helped define Jean Michel Jarre's first two albums, Oxygene and Equinoxe.

No external effects were used, only those on the Radias.

I don't play it note for note, it's only to give you an idea of how good the emulation is so please don't comment on my lack of talent, I haven't been playing for long :)"
