"This episode is all about modulations and in particular the modulation matrix of the Virus TI. We show you how to create pulsing pads beyond the omni present pumping pad effect."

de la Mancha basic65

"basic 65 is a monophonic synth, inspired by the classic 80s home computer, the Commodore 64 and its legendary SID chip. Building on the waveforms and signal path of this famous chip, basic 65 adds further features and options to take things a step further.

The double arpeggiator allows complex versions of that retro 8-bit game sound and the modulation options inspire experimentation via the mod envelope and 2 comprehensive LFOs. Pulse width modulation, ring modulation and oscillator detune/sync are key ingredients in the signature sound. Throw in some pitch drift, bit drift, a sprinkle of dirt and randomisation and you have a wide range of lofi, chiptune, retro-tastic sounds at your disposal.

This version is the update to the popular basic 64, redesigned from scratch, with many improvements, new features and all new presets. basic 65 was co-developed with sink, who also made the amazing presets.


features

• Monophonic synth in VST format for Windows based hosts
• 3 oscillators with pulse, saw, triangle and noise waveforms
• Pulse width can be modulated by envelope or both LFOs [NEW - pwm modulated by envelope]
• Each oscillator can be sync’d to another and/or ring modulated by another
• Each oscillator has its own ADSR envelope and can be routed to filter individually
• Resonant filter with low pass, high pass, band pass and notch modes [NEW - notch mode added]
• 2 tempo-sync Arpeggiators in series for complex arp sounds [NEW - 2nd arp, added arp patterns]
• Arp tempo, range and note length can be adjusted [NEW - more tempo-sync options, note length knob]
• Modulation envelope can control pulse width and pitch of individual oscillators as well as filter and dirt [NEW - modulates pwm, cut-off, res, dirt]
• 2 tempo-sync LFOs with wide range of waveforms, including random [NEW - more waveforms, more tempo-sync options, added phase]
• Both LFOs can control pulse width and pitch of individual oscillators [NEW - individual oscillator pitch and pwm]
• One LFO also controls filter and dirt, the other can modulate the depth and speed of the first LFO [NEW - modulates res, dirt and LFO1]
• Envelopes are non-linear and can be retriggered from zero or smoothed on each new note [NEW - separate smooth for amp and mod envelopes]
• Pitch drift models instability with variable depth and frequency [NEW - depth and frequency added]
• Options for 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 bit audio with randomising feature [NEW - added randomising, added 4 bit and 12 bit]
• Developed with SE 1.1, so no problems with multiple instances [NEW]
• 128 presets by sink covering arps, leads, bass, drums and lofi sounds [NEW - all new presets]
• basic 64 is also included in the download"

KOMA Elektronik FT201 - Analog State Variable Filter / 10 Step Sequencer


YouTube Uploaded by KOMAelektronik on Sep 6, 2011

"Marlon Penn handling the FT201, with recorded vocals through a loop station. In this video Marlon shows many features of the pedal; the state variable filter, 10 step sequencer and plays around with the infrared sensor (with his hands (and remote control)!

Sorry about the bad video quality, but we guess you all get the idea!

Radio Shack Q&A with Forrest Mims III

Forrest Mims is the man that brought us the Atari Punk Console. Below is a pic of him building a model rocket launcher back in 1969 via wikipedia.

"Forrest M. Mims III has written over sixty books about science, computers and electronic circuits that he has tested and built. We were able to wrack his brain and learn a little more about the man who has sold over 7.5 million copies of his books. Throughout the Q&A we were able to learn a little more about how he got his start, his favorite build and how he is able to turn circuit analysis into something that DIYers are able to understand!"

"TSB: You’ve built a ton of cool projects over the years – which one was your favorite, and why?

Mims: I built and published a series of solid state oscilloscopes using arrays of LEDs. While their resolution was low, they worked. I also designed and built from discrete chips a 4-bit digital processor that could be programmed with several instructions. My favorite projects were the lab kits I designed for RadioShack, especially the Electronics Learning Lab and the RadioShack Sun & Sky Monitoring Station. I just returned from 13 days at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory, where I calibrated the first Sun & Sky Station for the ninth year. I use this device every day the sun shines, and it provides beautiful data."

"The synth originally came from BGSU's music department. It was sold at auction and I ended up with it. I kind of wish I still had some of the modulators. It had several staircase generators, phasers, envelope generators, ring modulators, VCO's, VCA's, VCF's, Spring reverbs, A patch bay, just anything you could want in a synth."
