Laurentide Synthworks MFOS Soundlab Mini-Synth MKII 2-Voice Poly Synth

via Laurentide Synthworks:

"The past couple of months I have slowly been designing a 2-Voice Poly Synth. At it's core, it is 2 MFOS Soundlab Mini-Synth MKII's. I've spent a lot of time tweaking ideas on how to implement everything. Pretty much all of the parts are there, I just need to put it together. Easier said than done.

It starts at a Mutable Instruments MIDIpal. Eventually I will try to tweak the MIDIpal code so it only has some of the apps, like Dispatcher (of course), arp, seq and maybe some others. Keep it simple. The MIDIpal will be connected internally to 2 chained midimplant's (MIDI to CV) which will be wired to each Soundlab. This is how the polyphony will be achieved. I will have MIDI IN & THRU jacks mounted on the rear of the case.

The front panel will have both Soundlabs mounted side by side. There will be a 3rd panel to the left of the 1st Soundlab that will be home to the MIDIpal as well as some other cool stuff..."

Mixtape Alpha Crowdfuning for Re-Release

"Mixtape Alpha is currently crowdfunding on Portland, Ore. based Crowd Supply (www.crowdsupply.com). Mixtape Alpha is a re-release of our pocket-sized 8-bit synth. Complete with four voices, four effects, five-note polyphony, record, playback, and more!

http://www.crowdsupply.com/open-music-labs/mixtape-alpha (click through for additional details & video)

Mixtape Alpha has:

· a stylophone style input for continuous tone generation

· six buttons for discrete notes

· four voices

· four effects

· five-note polyphony

Loop. Play. Record.

You are able to loop a pattern and play a second part on top. But, the best of all, you can record the songs you make. Trade Mixtapes with your friends! Each Mixtape Alpha will come in its own cassette case, with instructions.

Open Source Design

If you want to dig into the guts of this 8-bit synth, check out the wiki page. You will find all the schematics and code, and we even have a Pure Data patch for making your own wavetables.

The project is based on the same processor used in the Arduino (the ATmega328p), and all of the source code is online, so it can be hacked to make even crazier sounds than we came up with.

Thank you for considering posting this project!

Cheers,

Phil Gentile"

via Par Uy on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"Acclaimed New York techno label Biatch Corp turns to the emerging Montevideo artist Par for one of the most ambitious electronic music full lengths in years. El Futuro could be described as an exciting combination of genre-blurring music, cutting edge sound design, and South American dance music sophistication. But in reality the record is hard much to pigeonhole with easy labels and trite definition. On the first pass, the album is nebulous and ephemeral touching on the distant, the emotional, and the hear-and-now without ever revealing its inspirations or influences like a Dada vision hiding in an opaque cloud of dense mystery. Repeat listenings reveal subtle layers with intense shades of gray nuance coloring the smallest of details like a cultured piece of fine art.
