"Update: thank you everyone for your kind words, love and support. We now have a candidate in Toronto being assessed and a backup in Ottawa ready to go if the current candidate doesn’t meet the bill. Things are looking up. I cannot thank you enough. ❤️❤️❤️"
Reach out to Mike if you want to be on the list in case the two candidates do not work out for whatever reason. I'd be happy to relay to Mike if you are not on Twitter or Facebook.
"TIMING INDEX BELOW! Just like Wobbler does for LFOs the Edgecutter from This Is Not Rocket Science takes something simple (an ADSR envelope) and pushes it beyond the norm in controls and functions. We've got trigger or gate outs for each of the phases/stages, gate, retrigger, one linear out, one curvature controlled output, CV over each stage, 3 modes (one shot, gated and gated looping) and a unique envelope ratchet at the start or end of the envelope (if you want it). Very nicely done I reckon! :)
05:51 Looking at the 3 different modes - triggered / one shot, gated, gated looping. Also further exploration of shape and ratchet stages.
09:30 Stage / Phase outputs to control other elements of a patch. Mixing the two outs to control wavetables and VCAs and using the stage outputs to trigger external sounds.
12:40 Quick patch to show how varied the envelope is under modulation.
13:42 Velocity input - looking at the velocity input and other ways to added expression and dynamics to the envelope."
"It has been quiet warm here in the Netherlands for the last few weeks. So the room on the first floor under the sloping roof where my synths are located, is not a pleasant place to be: to warm. But last weekend it was somewhat cooler so I thought let's do a challenge.
So, no preparations. The Cirklon has a blank song, no sequences are pre-programmed. An let's see if I can make an acceptable song within reasonable time. I will let you be the judge if I succeeded in that.
The first sequence is on the Rob Hordijk's OSC HRM combined with a Krisp1 TZ VCO running through Synthesizers.com VCF/VCA/EG's. The second sequence is on the Tom Oberheim SEM. The third sequence (bass) is all Synthesizers.com except for the MOSLAB 904-A LPF. The fourth sequence is on the DSI Mopho. The strings are from the E-MU Vintage Keys and the Roland JD800.
Sorry for the camera position which could be turned more to the left but I noticed that afterwards. So you cannot see my right hand playing the Roland JD800.

"This second part of our series on physical modeling synthesis with eurorack modular synthesizers covers modal synthesis. Modal synthesis utilizes many resonant bandpass filters as a resonator which can then be excited by many different types of impulses or sounds. Since most modal synthesis models use dozens or hundreds of bandpass filters digital implementations are more practical, but we put this together with analog bandpass filters to see how it would work.
