Chamber of Sounds JUPITER III with Jupiter Time Clock Module

"JUPITER III - Analog Percussion Synthesizer and Optical Theremin with Time Clock

You've probably seen them at Analogueheaven or MoogAudio, but no one but Chamber of Sounds has the Jupiter Clock module! You get both the awesome Jupiter III synth + a green Jupiter Clock, a great combo for some unique sound-making. Both units are signed, dated and numbered by the creator. This will be the only green Jupiter Clock available to the public, so don't miss out.

Smack it, trigger it, or shine some light on it...
The Jupiter III, analog, percussion synthesizer and optical theremin is both light & touch sensitive. It's handmade, built to last and extremely, unique sounding. It will get any crazy analog sounds you could imagine on the fly - from very fat, low bass to super high, sweeps, bleeps, chirps and glitchy cross-modulations. It has a trigger input to plug any source into it - a drum machine, metronome, mp3 player and of course the matching Jupiter Clock, to control the rhythm or make the unit sustain indefinitely. In Jupiter III’s manual, percussive mode you can bang on the box to get a wide array of analog sounds. This little guy is highly versatile and can be played many different ways for any situation. Listen to the demos below... Visit Chamber of Sounds for more Jupiter III info." Also see the Chamber of Sounds label below for videos and more previously posted.

SK-Synth: A subtractive FPGA synthesizer

via stekern on this electro-music.com thread:
"This is a project I have been working on for a while.
It is a subtractive synthesizer implemented in an FPGA.
Features:
* 2 DCO's with sawtooth, square, triangle and sine waveform generation
* LFO that can be modulate the filter, amplitude or pitch. Possible waveforms are: sawtooth, square and triangle.
* LP-12 filter with adjustable frequency and resonance.
* Filter envelope
* Amplitude envelope.

I have been using a Avnet spartan 3A devboard with a breakoutboard with midi connector and a I2S DA-converter.
In this device the polyphony is set to 8 voices, but it is easily adjustable in the VHDL-source code. I also have received reports that it is easy to implement several SK-Synths to achieve multitimbrality (on a spartan-3e board).

The synth is controlled by a computer application written in Qt and it runs on both Linux and Windows.

The source code for the synth and the controller application and schematics for the breakoutboard can be found in my SVN-repository here
Here is a zipped SVN-snapshot from 2010-08-05"
