SDIY Assorted random project ideas

See http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~lanterma/ems11/projectideas_sp11.html. I mirrored this below for the archives as it's on an edu site and they have been known to disappear after interest is gone. There are some interesting details on various synth designs including the Rhodes Chroma VCO, Yamaha CS-80 filter, Roland Jupiter-6 filter, Korg MS-20 sytle VCO, Buchla 148, Tau 1005 Utility VCO, Korg Delta, and more.

Musikmesse Is Here!

The Musikmesse officially starts tomorrow, but as you can see posts are coming in now. Non Musikmesse posts will continue to go up otherwise the backlog gets out of hand. You can get to all Musikmesse posts via the Musikmesse label. I also added a link in the top menu bar just above the Venom pick on the right.

The Vermon PerFourMer MKII

via Vermona

"And here it is. We’d like to introduce you to the new PerFourMer MKII. Like its predecessor it features four individual synthesizers that can be linked and played with six different playmodes: 2x monophonic, 2x duophonic and 2x polyphonic.

Each synthesizer has a VCO with sine, triangle, pulse and sawtooth wave shape as well as a noise generator. There is a lowpass filter, an ADSR envelope generator and a LFO that can be synced by an internal or external (MIDI-) clock.
A whole synthesizer can be modulation source for oscillator- or filter frequency of the following one and it has got hard-sync for the oscillators and soft-sync for the LFO.

The PerFourMer MKII can be checked out at the Superbooth at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt and it will be available this summer."
