WAV2Evolver Waveform Generator for the DSI Evolver Line

I was chatting with Brian Comnes about waveform editors for the DSI Evolver. There are the SoundTower and Vyzor editors that give you access to the full parameters of the Evolvers, but if you just want to create and upload waveforms, Brian let me know about WAV2Evolver, a free online editor that does just that. Thank you Brian!

See if you can make out my lame attempt at a waveform to the left. Note you can have only one point along the horizontal plane. I actually never thought about that before.

Update: the output is a .wav file so this could be useful for other synths and applications.

Some details from http://wav2evolver.beigemaze.com:

"WAV2Evolver is an online waveform conversion application for users of the Dave Smith Instruments Evolver family of synthesizers.

It allows you to upload WAV files containing single-cycle waveforms, and then download them as system exclusive files that the Evolver can understand. You may also download waveforms as RAW PCM files or new WAV files. The RAW and WAV files downloaded from this application use Evolver-friendly 128-sample, 16-bit PCM.

WAV2Evolver is also a waveform sharing application. You may view and download waveforms that others have generated, and you may share waveforms that you have generated. I encourage you to share your waveforms, although this is completely optional.

WAV2Evolver is an HTML5 application. If it's not working for you, please try using an up-to-date web browser. WAV2Evolver was written with the following technologies: jQuery and Bootstrap were used to construct the interface; PHP was used for the web services that transfer data to and from the application; the waveform conversion tools are written in C. The icons are by Glyphicons.

All of the code for this project is open-source, and can be found on GitHub.

Special thanks to forum user Razmo for his invaluable help in proving out the conversion code, long before I had an Evolver of my own."

The Sound of the Prophet VS

Published on Apr 3, 2019 Learning Modular

"I recently gave a talk at Synthplex about the creation of Vector Synthesis and the Prophet VS. Unfortunately, we did not have a working instrument there to demonstrate its sound. So I recorded some of its classic sounds - both good and bad - to demonstrate what it could do.

Listen To The Sample Fairy! - itijik Quick Tips

Published on Apr 3, 2019 itijik

"While using the same 'Summertime' sample from my dj jazzy jeff homage, I heard a fairy whispering in the harmonics...Sometimes you can hear little melodies and hidden notes while processing samples. I take these as cues and sometimes even use them directly as I did here. Pay close attention to your samples to find the magic!

Check out the itijik store! You can buy inspiring samples and download free tools on itijik.com!"

ARP Quadra vintage analogue synth

"ARP Quadra for sale in lovely condition and fully working. A beautiful, weird and wonderful odd ball synth. Has a couple of scratchy sliders on the filter section for the lead and poly section, but some contact cleaner should sort it out or buy one of those slider kits on ebay and replace them.

I don't have to tell you how rare these are and the prices of them are going up and up and up, so they are a good investment (one sold on RL music for over 9K very recently). I'm only selling as I have owned it for about a decade and now fancy a change and I'm looking to buy a Memorymoog or Oberheim Expander/Matrix 12 or something else weird and wonderful, just fancy a change. Also, see my other auctions."

Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave Digital Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Look, you're a discerning musician. You need unique sounds for your compositions. You need a Fizmo to create that special magic. Multiple oscillators, 2 filters, LFOs, envelopes, built in great effects taken from the DP4 series, a nice keybed, loads of knobs and buttons, a cool retro red LED display!.. this Fizmo has had the regulator fix done (of course - never buy one unfixed). BUT - I also replaced all the encoders because over time, the originals tend to start skipping values, counting backwards, not change values, change values randomly, etc. So, these are all brand new encoders."
