The Collidoscope Prototype Double Granular Synthesiser


Crazy Synthesizer Demo Published on Nov 19, 2015 Doctor Mix

"Meet The Collidoscope, a prototype double granular synthesiser by researchers Fiore Martin & Ben Bengler. More instruments and gear on http://www.doctormix.com/blog/

This hybrid keyboard is a combination between a sampler and a supercollider synth engine, designed to be played by two performers at the same time."

Update: some additional info & pics via Doctor Mix follow. Note it is currently a prototype and not for sale. If it does end up being produced for purchase they do not have an estimate of how much it might cost.

Update2: You'll find the website for Collidoscope at http://collidoscope.io. Note the Collidoscope is not by DoctorMix. They only featured it and of course made the video above. The Collidoscope is an independent project.

"The Collidoscope is a prototype synthesiser designed by researchers Ben Bengler & Fiore Martin.

Based on a granular synthesiser engine the instrument can be played by two performers at the same time (as they stand opposite one another on the sides of the unit) using the 2 built-in sets of keyboard, gooseneck microphone, colour display and controllers.

The Collidoscope samples from the microphones (or line inputs) and displays in real time a waveform of the sample and allows it to be played back instantly. The main sliding knob positioned below the waveform allows for the visual selection of a portion of the sample to be played (by moving it horizontally), and for the modification of the size of the portion being looped (through rotating the knob).

Two additional sliders allow for the high passing of the sound and for the extension of the boundaries of the loop being played to its neighbouring audio material, fading in more of the audio sample without changing the rhythm of the loop.

There are also two backlit octave selection buttons and a sturdy metal button next to the microphone base to start sampling.

The Collidoscope is revolutionary for the way in which it changes the relationship between the performer and sampling process, allowing a seemingly infinite way of manipulating the sound without interrupting its flow."

Modular Synth - ALM Akemie's Castle - 4 Part Percussive Melody


Published on Nov 19, 2015 isvisible / isinvisible

"This is a quick patch to show the ALM Busy Circuits 'Akemie's Castle' module doing a four part percussive type melody.

Mutable 'Grids' is providing most of the triggers for a Doepfer A-143-1, which is providing the envelopes to the 'Level' inputs of the Akemie's Castle.

The Livewire 'Chaos Computer' is providing the cv for 3 of the 'Multiplier' inputs of the Akemie's Castle.
Obviously if you want a more structured melody then standard sequencers can be used instead of the Chaos Computer.

Modular Synth - PDO, Orgone and Cyclebox


Published on Nov 19, 2015 isvisible / isinvisible

"This is my first little experiment with the WMD Phase Displacement Oscillator (PDO).
There is just the one single line out from the QAAF expansion to an Eventide 'Model 1745 M' which is loaded with 5 individual taps, which I've set to various delays and spread them for stereo.

The Neutron Sound 'Orgone Accumulator and the Cylonix / Intellijel 'Cyclebox' are feeding the three inputs in the PDO's TBVCA expansion to be mixed up with the PDO waves.
Everything is being modulated by a Doepfer A-143-4 and a couple of Mutable 'Peaks' in LFO mode.

Kitty Brute (Akai Tom Cat & Arturia Minibrute)


Published on Nov 18, 2015 HardtekStudios

"Download the audio track for FREE here-https://soundcloud.com/hardtek-studio...
The Akai Tom Cat is the midi master using the chromatic toms sequencer track to sequence the Arturia Minibrute. The Cat is then going into the audio in of the Minibrute, only playing when the synth is being triggered, so it can now be filtered & distorted and chopped up with the envelopes and LFOs."
