"This particular unit has been fitted with the new power supply and new CC+ which updates many aspects of its operation and makes it easier to incorperate into a 2013 workflow but most of all makes it reliable, the online support for it is incredible and if you're worried about the lack of editing control (which isn't that hard anyway) you can edit it via an iPad..."

MacBeth Nexus 1 Prototype

via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

"When Paul Hartnoll from Orbital paid me a visit towards the end of last year- he tried out the NEXUS prototype- he said he liked it, but for him it was important that Octave switching for each oscillator (4) be included. We also talked about PWM. Now there is octave switching- and PWM for oscs 1 and 3. These are completely deicated modulators aimed at their target oscs...so two separate moving waveforms to add to one hell of a sound! I myself also wanted pitch bend- in this case *Ultrabend*, master tune and a dedicated master LFO control! NEXUS is NEXT!"

Meganome -- DIY Arduino MIDI Controller

Published on Apr 26, 2013 JazariMusic·11 videos

"Get the free Jazari EP: http://jazari.bandcamp.com
Arduino code and tips: goo.gl/oxQcm
The Meganome is inspired by the monome controller and powered by an Arduino Mega. Like other grid controllers like the Launchpad and Push, it has performance modes for triggering drums, playings synths, and launching clips and effects. I like the feel of arcade buttons and look of exotic hardwoods, so mass-market products just weren't right for me.

You can see how the grid-based layout makes octave jumps and glisses really easy in this video: http://youtu.be/Gsph_10sb64?t=2m18s

Watch the Meganome be used as a drum machine: http://youtu.be/rMrk-pZ4RBk

"Battery powered modular synthesizer that uses banana jack patch cords. Has a 1/4 input for Guitar, Bass, Microphone or other instruments. Infinitely deep as you create your own sounds by connecting patch cables, this synthesizer uses banana jacks which easily allow the signal to be "multed" e.g. you can send one jack to multiple different jacks by stacking the jacks upon one another. This particular LBB has been modified with a banana jack ground plug on the side, allowing for the ability to interfacing with other banana jack modular synthesizers. It also comes with a some banana jack cables to get you started. Best of all it's battery powered which allows you to take it anywhere, you can use it as a sound generator or use it like a guitar pedal, you can also play it by singing through it using a microphone and routing your voice to the envelope follower.

Features:
2 voltage controlled ramp (sawtooth) oscillators
1/4" input with variable gain
envelope follower with optional inverter
2 channel mixer
intermodulating output stage
powder-coated aluminum case
single 9V battery
power automatically disconnected when output cable is unplugged"
