Desktop Hardware Version of SERUM in the works?


The top image is via @deadmau5 who mentions, "yeah yeah... you guys keep your skins :P"

The bottom image is of SERUM via XfferRecords (you can find previous posts featuring video demos of SERUM in the archives). You should be able to see the similarities between the hardware and software. The following is a quick recap on the software.

"The dream synthesizer did not seem to exist: a wavetable synthesizer with a truly high-quality sound, visual and creative workflow-oriented interface to make creating and altering sounds fun instead of tedious, and the ability to “go deep” when desired - to create / import / edit / morph wavetables, and manipulate these on playback in real-time.

IMPORT YOUR OWN AUDIO / CREATE CUSTOM WAVETABLES WITH EASE
Serum has a Wavetable editor built right in- you can create your own wavetables in a variety of ways. Import audio directly from audio files - Serum has a variety of methods and options for analyzing audio for breaking it apart into individual waveforms. You can import single-cycle wavetables of course, as well as many at once (with in-built sorting options, or manual re-ordering). Morph between various wavetables using standard linear interpolation (crossfading) or via harmonic/spectral morphing. Draw directly on the waveform, with optional grid-size snapping and a variety of shape tools. Generate or modify waveforms using FFT (additive). Create or process waveforms using formula functions. Processing menu options allow you to do the other tasks you would want, such as apply fades, crossfades, normalize, export, and much more..."

P.S. I created a new "Teasers" label for these moving forward. It's hard to believe I didn't see the need to create one before now... I added the label to the recent Behringer MS-101 post. Sometimes they are teasers, sometimes they are leaks. The label will apply to any gear not officially released.

Reminder: SNAZZY FX at Control Tomorrow, August 10 at 7 PM

SNAZZY FX LIVE AT CONTROL AUG 10 2017

Published on Oct 7, 2017 Control Synthesizers & Electronic Devices

"Dan Snazelle of SnazzyFX visits Control for an evening lecture and electronic music demonstration, with a special ear to five new modules released just this year (2017): HI_GAIN, KICK_ME, eternal spring, kitty eyes + dual Multiplier.

Dan started SnazzyFX in 2009. Among his first electronic devices were released were pedal (stomp) boxes at NAMM 2010 and he has designed for a number of formats since. But as Dan says, "It is not the format that matters but the ethos."

We hope this video gives you a taste of that ethos. To get deeper into SnazzyFX and the modules, try here:

+ visit us at Control to play the instruments i.r.l.

Control is a brick + mortar shop specializing in unique electronic music devices. Located at 416 Lorimer St. in Brooklyn, NY, we are open 7 days from 12-8pm. Stop by to get your hands on some of these electronic instruments and for one of our equally unique in-store events.

"JOIN US THIS THURSDAY AUGUST 10 AT 7PM FOR A LIVE TALK AND TOUR THROUGH SNAZZY FX'S *5 NEW MODULES* WITH FOUNDER AND DESIGNER DAN SNAZELLE

SNAZZY DISCUSSES HIS CONCEPT, DEVELOPMENT & SHOWS THE WEIRD FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH THE NEW:

KICK_ME SNAZZY’S FIRST STEP INTO THE WORLD OF DRUM MODULES is two kicks in one: KICK A is pitch controllable and with 4 tweakable parameters can create a wide variety of kick styles, from tight rock kicks to blown out techno bass drums + KICK B features control of decay designed for MAXIMUM SUB-BASS.

KITTY EYES SNAZZY FX LOVES CHAOS. No, not chaos in the sense of everything going crazy, but chaos in the natural systems, dripping faucets, fractal sense. Kitty Eyes has most of the features of our bigger chaos modules but with a lower price and footprint. PURRFECT FOR EXPERIMENTING.

THE ETERNAL SPRING FILTER SNAZZY SAYS: ' WEIRD filter of my own design (not based on anything classic). Think of it as a character filter --- quite intense at some settings, while nice and acidic at others. Doesn't sound like any other filter I own...Adds harmonics in some regions while removing others. Has interesting non-linearity in the Q section which allows for instability, even chaos at some settings ! '

HI_GAIN Enter a world of trash. A world of scraping hi-hats, smashed up kicks, beautiful clipped white noise, broken file cabinets, disused railway cars...The HI_GAIN was designed to create noise, to pump up the hiss, to boost asymmetrical happiness for super acidic bass lines and more. Like other Snazzy FX modules, the HI_GAIN encourages play with capital P - cross couple/feedback/mix outputs/send CV. Repeat.

DUAL MULTIPLIER For quick creation of varied timbres, Snazzy's four quadrant multiplier is similar to the classic ring modulator with attenuation control over all four inputs, giving you tweakability to create a variety of effects: tremolo, pitched noise, vca capabilities, spectral shifts in vocal samples, analog computing patches +++

PPG Infinite Now Available


PPG Infinite has been released. You can find previous posts featuring demos here, and walkthrough videos from creator Wolfgang Palm himself, here.

Details via iTunes:
PPG Infinite - Wolfgang Palm

"At the end of the 70s Wolfgang Palm developed wavetable synthesis. This was very successful and used by many synthesizer companies in the 80s and 90s. But this technology has its limitations. The main reason is that all sounds are harmonic. In nature this does not happen very often. Many sounds like a piano string have small offsets from the harmonic frequencies. This is even stronger in sounds like bells or percussion.

Infinite overcomes this limitation.
