GR-1 demo: Stand-alone "play mode"
You might remember the Tasty Chips GR1 from previous posts here. The following are the details and pics via the Kickstarter campaign.
"The GR-1 is a hardware polyphonic granular synthesizer in a class of its own. The GR-1 is capable of creating textures, characteristic sounds, drones, soundscapes, pads etc. with the help of your creativity! A sample and a few knob tweaks is enough to create something beautiful!
A truly high-end device
DMX Krew and The One of a Kind Opal Rhythm Computor
DMX Krew - Opal Rhythm Computor tutorial (Drum machine & sampler) - Gear Guide
Published on Sep 12, 2017 FACTmagazine
"A one-of-a-kind drum machine, made from scratch.
Best known as DMX Krew, Ed Upton has been making acid, electro and IDM-laced bangers since the early ‘90s for some of the underground’s best-loved labels, including Aphex Twin’s Rephlex, Legowelt’s Strange Life and, more recently, Hypercolour.
When Upton’s favorite drum machine – an ultra rare RSF SD140 – was stolen and he couldn’t find another one, he learned how to solder and designed and built his own. The Opal Rhythm Computor is a drum machine and sampler filled with sounds from his Roland Alpha Juno synth that doesn’t look or sound like anything you can buy in a store.
Watch it in action above and find his new album Strange Directions at Bandcamp.

Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
The Fizmo is a 48-voice synthesizer which uses 2nd-generation Transwave technology to create very organic sounds unlike any other synth available. Every programming function has its own dedicated knob or button, and there is a limited but useful 4-character LCD display. The Fizmo features an Arpeggiator and 24-bit VLSI effects with 41 algorithms, including a Vocoder and the ability to process incoming audio through the Vocoder and effects. (VERY POWERFUL)
Transwave synthesis uses wavetables of sound data with layered variations in harmonic structures such that their timbres progress naturally from one end to the other. This allows for sounds to modulate over time, or by velocity, wheel, pressure, or any number of other options.
There are 2 oscillators available for each of the 4 presets allowing for 8 unique oscillators at the same time, not to mention individual LFO and Noise generators for each Osc. Another wonderful feature is the ability to stack up to four individual presets together into one sound and map them across the keyboard. This synth is very capable of some very complex sounds.
The built-in Arpeggiator has 118 presets which can be easily edited to your liking, and 26 real-time control/editing knobs make mutating your sound a pleasure. All controls may be recorded in real-time to an external sequencer."

Published on Sep 12, 2017 -CALC-
"Played a gig recently and made a recording of a practice run. I'd actually forgotten I made the video, its been unlisted for a while.
It's quite low and subby in parts so use headphones/speakers for best results.
Its a fairly long one too but I hope you like it :o)
