Valentine's Easel

Published on Feb 14, 2020 Todd Barton

We have a Valentine's Day post. :)

"totally serendipitous that this patch turned out heart-shaped today! I was exploring sending EOSG from the Morphagene to Timbre, Pitch, LPG 1 then inverting it to open LPG 2. Woah it’s fun...but now that I describe it, it’s not so romantic or poetic ☺️ Enjoy! 🎉"

Hacking an Arm Prosthesis to Output CV for Thought Controlled Synthesis

Hacking my arm prosthesis to output CV so that it plugs into my synth: Thought-controlled music!

Published on Feb 13, 2020 Bertolt Meyer

"Together with Chrisi from KOMA Elektronik and my husband Daniel, I am in the process of building a device (the 'SynLimb') that attaches to my arm prosthesis instead of the prosthetic hand. The SynLimb converts the electrode signals that my prosthesis picks up from my residual limb into control voltages (CV) for controlling my modular synthesizer. The SynLimb thus allows me to plug my prosthesis directly into my snythesizer so that I can control its parameters with the signals from my body that normally control the hand. For me, this feels like controlling the synth with my thoughts. I show the prototype(s), explain how we put it together and how it works, and do a little demo.

The inspiration to just try this despite not being an engineer came from wonderful Sam aka lookmumnocomputer
The inspiration to venture into modular synthesis in the first place came from the wonderful mylarmelodies"

myVolts #mickXer in action!

Published on Feb 14, 2020 myVolts

"Ghost-trance-surf-pop anyone? 👌

We love ❤️ to see our mickxer in action (5 channel, stereo, noise removal & passive, so no power required). 🤗

Not bad, for $17.99!!✨🌟🤩🌟✨ The OP1 sometimes gives a bit of hum when USB powered, but mickxer removes that noise very sweetly. 👏✨ A great mix of devices, and killer sounds!! 🔊😍👏 Repost @ghostsurfofficial

"Explore some lovely Yamaha music computers from days gone by with me! Yamaha sent me a few pieces from their synth museum so I could make some videos and share these beauties with all of you!

(This video was sponsored by Yamaha)"

Apparently the Yamaha FB-01 has the same sound engine. It gets mentioned at 4:52 in the video.
