Omsonic - Triangulum VCO LTD Edition *Mini Demo*

Published on Mar 21, 2018 DivKidVideo

"This is the limited edition blue panelled Triangulum VCO from Omsonic. It's a triangle core analogue oscillator with a great sine wave, rich FM, thick square and PWM and a great saw wave. This is a "mini" demo as it's a single patch and quick feature run down as opposed to a fuller more comprehensive video. This was also filmed for the 12 days of DivMas so you may have seen a bit of this already :)"

Note the listing is for the replacement badge only, not the synth.

"As the title says, this is a brand new reproduction, large badge that fits on the back of earlier Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 1 and Rev 2s. These are often missing as they sometimes need to be removed when repairing their power supplies. The back is self-adhesive, but sometimes may need glue depending on how clean/dirty the surface of your Prophet-5 is. I have a limited quantity of these as there is little demand for them. Please do not get this size confused with the other Prophet 5 badges that are available from other sellers."

Melodizer - Random Melody Generator

Published on Mar 21, 2018 Damien Quartz

"An audio/visual demo of Melodizer, an analog sequencer inspired audio app and plugin that randomly generates melodies.

Melodizer will be available for free at https://damikyu.itch.io/melodizer"

"Melodizer works like an analog sequencer where each step in the sequence is controlled by a column of knobs. However, rather than having a Pitch and Gate knob for each step, Melodizer's main knob is Probability. At each step you can control the probability that it will play a note when that step is activated. The actual pitch played will depend on the chosen Key, Scale, Octave, and Range. At each step you can also control how the note is panned, set the velocity, and shape the amplitude envelope of the note using ADSR knobs (attack, decay, sustain, release).

Melodizer will play notes using a built-in oscillator and effects, but also sends MIDI note messages so that you can use it to drive any soft-synth you already own. Any MIDI notes received by Melodizer will be used to change the Key and Octave or, in the case of the Fingered Scale, will be used as the pool of notes to choose from."

Strange Envelopes: Basic Enveloping and Pseudo Echo

Published on Mar 21, 2018 MAKEN0ISE

"Allen Strange wrote the book on modular synthesizers in the 1970s. Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Unfortunately since the expanded 1982 edition, it has never been reprinted, and in today’s landscape where more people have access to modular synths than ever before, very few have access to the knowledge contained within. This video series will explore patches both basic and advanced from Strange’s text. Even the simplest patches here yield kernels of knowledge that can be expanded upon in infinite ways. I have been heavily influenced by Strange since long before I became a modular synth educator. Please share this knowledge far and wide.

The first video in the series covers one basic and one slightly less basic patch using envelopes."
