Inside KOMA Elektronik HQ at Common Ground

Published on May 2, 2018 DivKidVideo

"To kick off the Modular Podcast footage at the 2018 Superbooth we went to KOMA Elektronik at their headquarters in Common Ground. Common Ground is a community, DIY build space, DIY kit shop, vintage synth collection and lots more. Woutr takes us on a tour around the public and private spaces involved with both the Common Ground shop front and the working spaces and staff at KOMA. The space is peppered with great books, modular systems, DIY projects, soviet era synths, broken synths users can buy and fix themselves and loads more.

We're proud to have our Superbooth 2018 content sponsored by www.thonk.co.uk"

Building a CV QUANTIZER with Arduino - 01

Published on May 2, 2018 Sbranvlztronics

"A CV quantizer with Arduino UNO (ATmega328) in its earlier stage of development. In this video the quantizer is doing its thing on two LFO waveforms. There is two independent CV inputs to be quantized, other parameters are voltage controlled also: scale choice, clock, tessitura (low and high note range for each CV input channel). Yet to be implemented are: synchronization with external clocks, MIDI output, if memory won't run out...

Enjoy

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet X Demos by Rozzer

"This is a compilation of parts from recordings I made when creating patches for the Prophet X synthesizer. I recorded much more, but edited down to the the best bits. There are no additional effects or processing. All effects are from the synth itself.

DISCLAIMER: There is no particular musicianship in these demos. They were recorded whilst patching mostly with one hand on the keyboard and the other hand tweaking knobs. The purpose of uploading is to give an idea of the tone, sound and character of the Prophet X as explored by one sound designer."

Official Stand Alone Software Editor for the Roland SE-02 Now Available

via Studio Electronics:

"The official Roland approved, Studio Electronics standalone editor for the SE-02 is once again the handiwork of SE Sound Designer and Coder, Emmanuel Santoul, developer of the software editors for the ATC, SE-1, and Omega Series synths. This inspiring cross-platform product affords full, real-time control, providing not only an intuitive GUI, enabling immediate access to all synth parameters, but also: full library management and auditioning, "Patch Blending," "Random Patch Generation," and edit and compare customization. Expressive features not standard on your synthesizer can now be explored, integrated, and perhaps most importantly, visualized—to simplify, and yet amplify your most detailed '02 sound designs and creative expressions. Translation: Music could happen.

In general, one can interact with the software in the same way you would with the front panel controls of this Boutique, but the seamless integration and coordination of the two closely interacting systems, real and virtual, massively increase the programmer’s grasp of the total signal, timbre, and control flow.

Switch programs, tweak sound parameters, or move to another bank: editor and hardware and editor settings will correspond; a contextual menu, with all features available, will be displayed by right-clicking the display. Copying and pasting, and rearranging your patches—a bear with just the box and your DAW in front of you—is now gentle on the mind, perhaps even enjoyable. Better still: saving and reloading banks (all within a few minutes) without disconnecting, power recycling, and reconnecting, as well as transcending and expanding the single User bank limitations is reason enough to get on board.

VSTi and Audio Unit scheduled later on in 2018. We are prioritizing the standalone app as we think this is better in line with the spirit of the SE-02, which is a table-top synth. Most of you Boutique-ers are now working this way—without DAWs; we see you.

Note: The app does not generate sound; it only address MIDI and SysEx data.

Noistation - By Love Hulten

Published on May 2, 2018 Love Hultén

"Synthesizer built around the Axoloti Core"

via lovehulten.com

"Noistation is a synthesizer based on Axoloti core, the open source hardware synth created by Johannes Taelman. Combined with Axoloti Patcher software - a user friendly and very graphic modular environment. Create your own effects and sounds using oscillators (from subtractive to FM), filters, modulation, and much more. Simply connect the Noistation to your computer via USB and start making objects. Build your own personal patch bank and store it on the built-in SD card.

The casing is handmade from mahogany the controls are designed around tactility - 37 semi weighted full-size keys, a pitch-wheel, six buttons(octave, transpose and patch shifting) and 16 faders for EQ, filters, effects and much more.

​For output, there's stereo output on the back and an optional built-in full-range 40W speaker. Dimensions: 70x80x18cm"

2 05 18 Serge Modular System Videos by batchas

Published on May 2, 2018 batchas

"Heavy use of my Scrotum Lab panels (Panel Nr 1 + SWAMP).
RingMod, ResEQ give the sound this character, but mostly also the RLPG.
VCO used = variable output of NTO + variable output of Buchla 258 (present on Panel Nr 1).
I use from time to time the LOOP function on the SWAMP."
