Jasuto Modular Synth for the iPhone Available

Just a reminder, Jasuto is available on iTunes for only .99 (at the time of this post.)

See this post for videos.

I finally got around to downloading it after reading in the comments of the video post that it's similar to Reactable. On first glance it is. Each disk is a module that can affect other modules. So far definitely worth the small entry price.

ARM FPGA Audio board

LINK
via Eric on the SDIY list:
"Basically it's a MIDI controlled 2-op FM synthesizer with an ADSR and a regenerative feedback delay. The ARM processor is responsible for configuring the FPGA and parsing the MIDI data into parameter settings for the synth design.

I've made a few audio samples to demonstrate some of the sounds. Find them here.

Descriptions:
fm.mp3 - this is playing around with the 2-op FM waveshaping. You can hear changes in the mod/carrier ratio as well as the mod index. Note the rather strong clicking as the mod/carrier ratio is changed, while sweeping the index is much smoother.

gong.mp3 - this is a high and low gong sound to illustrate the exponential release.

delay.mp3 - this is playing around with the regenerative delay / feedback feature.

Let me know what you think!

Eric"

Flying Lotus - Camel/Melt

"A video for the Flying Lotus Tracks- Camel and Melt. Just random videos and photos I thought would look cool :)"
some synth spotting
Some I spotted: Fairlight, Synclavier, Roland TR-606 and TB-303, Future Retro Revolution, Buchla, DIY Sequencer (who makes the circular sequencer module again?).

Update via Tor Olav in the comments: "
The circular looking seq is a diy project. The PCBs are Ray Wilson (MFOS) and the format/panel job is as stated in MOTM-ish format, layed out and designed by Thomas White."

You can find some posts featuring it interspersed here.

Analog Health Club synthesizer

who needs barbells

"The Switcheroo features:
2 Voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), scaled to 1v/Octave
1 Voltage-controlled filter (self-oscillating and 1v/Octave too)
1 Attack-Release envelope generator
1 Low-frequency oscillator (LFO)
1 Voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA)
1 Envelope follower (that can trigger the envelope)
1 MIXER
1 White Noise generator
Some details about the features:

-->The original filter on the circuit was tweaked so that it self oscillates to get you the sine wave--you can hear it on tracks 2 and 4 on the website's playlist.

-->You can play the oscillators and the filter with your favorite CV keyboard.

--->The up/down switch on the Envelope Follower inverts the shape of the output. You can plug in a guitar, keyboard, drum machine, etc. into the envelope follower and it can modulate the VCA, oscillators, and filter! It also triggers the envelope generator, the Gate knob acts as the sensitivity of the follower to trigger the envelope generator.

--> The AR envelope can loop internally, so it acts like an LFO. It is very enjoyable and is used ALOT. When the EF (Envelope Follower) switch is on the down position, it is switched to this internal loop mode. When it is switched up, it triggers from the EF.

The synth circuit design is based on Ray Wilson's design. For more PCBs and analog synths, go to www.musicfromouterspace.com

GorF Kits, 2nd Run

via Vacoloco Ramblings where you can order them.

"Ladies and Gents,

I have some more GorF kits for sale. I’m also dropping kits 3 and 4, as I only sold 2. Most people seem to want either Kit 5 (90% of orders) or Kit 2 (about 9%).

I’ve added the Crystal Oscillator module to Kit 5, as a lot of people seemed to be struggling to find them, I have had to increase the cost to cover the cost of the part."
