Kick.S Live / X966

Published on Mar 22, 2016 Expedition Electronics

"Excuse the tuning issues; I should have tuned the guitar and the synth to the guitar

Roland GR-300 mod to provide variable pulse width waveform, PWM, and filter mod from a tap tempo LFO. I did a poor job describing how it works. Essentially, as part of the pitch determination the GR300 samples the height of a ramp wave (the same wave used as second oscillator in Duet mode) on the zero crossing of the incoming signal. That means the sampled voltage gets larger the lower the frequency of the incoming signal. This sampled voltage is used as the reset point for the main ramp oscillator. Therefore, that voltage is equal to the peak voltage of the oscillator sawtooths (ramps, really). So, the servos figures out how much to attenuate that sampled, relatively stable, voltage to bring it to a constant level and applies the same attenuation to the oscillator waves. Thereby, making the output of the oscillators have a fixed height as they would in a normal synthesizer. From there, standard synth stuff to do PWM."

Video Equations: Colour Video Synthesizer

Video Equations: Colour Video Synthesizer from Cat Full of GHOSTS on Vimeo.

The Video Equations video synthesizer is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter here. This is a project by Cat Full of GHOSTS' Roberto Jordan, who I am happy to say, happens to be a supporting Member of MATRIXSYNTH. See the kickstarter campaign for additional details including the different reward levels.

"The Video Equations system utilises the power of mathematics to yield rippling lo-fi seas of colour, acid trip roguelikes, glitching fractals, visions of an 80's techno dream and worlds of crashing computer programs, all from a single, beautiful unit.

Equally at home in the studio, lab or on the road this colour video system is ready for take off!"

Some additional details via the Kickstarter campaign here

"Features:

16 colours, hundreds of characters and symbols
20+ different equation archetypes each with two modifier sliders and a colour depth control for literally millions of unique stable or evolving visuals
colour and character offset knobs for even more control and variation of output
4+ variable size masks, each with an invert function and mask fill options
9v battery or wall wart operation (wall wart not included)
7 X 0-5v CV inputs for modular control of all sliders and knobs
picture mute and equation hold functions for expanded live use
composite NTSC output (PAL users can buy a NTSC to PAL converter to integrate it into their PAL system. There is a cheap one for sale here.) The jack on the synth is BNC but comes with an RCA adapter.
Kit and build options:
Available as a fully built and tested unit or as a DIY kit with all the components (all thru-hole components). Both kit and built unit come with a rugged acrylic and plywood base."

Viral Synthesizer

Viral Synthesizer from DoktorBang on Vimeo.

"Viral is a 2 osc synth i programmed couple of years ago in max 6

Each indipendent oscillator is capable of producing five different pure waveforms (sine, saw, tri, square, para) and is equipped with controls for pitch, detune and ADSR. Is also present an FM synthesis module, as well as AM and RM modulators, multimode filter, tremolo, and vibrato

All the parameters are controllable via external controllers, internal step envelopes, xy controller and 2 internal LFOs with two destinations each.The final mixer allows you to mix oscillators and add delay to one or both of your sounds

Two sound visualizer are present, to check spectrum and magnitude of resulting sound.

In the video a walkthru of few preset i made"

"First synth produced by Akai in 1984. All analog, two oscillator plus sub-oscillator. 8-voice programmable and 61 keys. A little punchier than a Juno 60, big and cuts through a mix. All digital interface is rad looking when lit up. Full MIDI. Everything works and sounds amazing..."
