Ouroboros Phase Voice • Digital Phase Modulation Synthesizer


Ouroboros Electronics

"Ouroboros Phase Voice is a compact and tactile standalone digital synthesizer for sonic expression and exploration. It utilizes phase modulation synthesis, one of the strong suits of digital synthesis, for complex and lively sonics inspired by the Buchla 200e. The Phase Voice consists of a primary and modulation oscillator combo, an LFO for phase-width modulation, a pair of simple function generators for pitch modulation, and a variable rate pulser for triggering the voice’s envelope generator to create percussive sequences or to hold it open for sustained tones. Timbre-rich drones, hypnotic percussive and melodic patterns, and Buchla bongos are all possible. Six knobs control synthesis parameters and a seventh knob controls the master output volume. It has a mono 1/4” output jack and is powered by a 9v center negative DC adapter (not included). There is only one of these right now, but I plan to create more instruments based around this code in the future. This first iteration of the Phase Voice is now available for $225 + $20 insured shipping within the US. To order - DM or email ouroboros.electronics.us@gmail.com"

Simeon Coxe and Silver Apples: A Tribute by CatSynth TV


CatSynth TV

"We pay tribute to electronic-music pioneer Simeon Coxe, who passed away on September 8, 2020. As half of the duo Silver Apples, he was among the first to introduce synthesizers into rock music as a central melodic and harmonic element (rather than as a novelty) with his custom instrument made up of numerous test oscillators, telegraph keys, wah-wah pedals, and Echoplexes. The original duo only lasted three years, but they had a major influence on the electronic-infused bands of the 1970s and beyond. Coxe reformed Silver Apples in 1996, and then continued to perform as a solo act in the 2000s.

We extend our thoughts to his friends and family. We also feel that Simeon Coxe has not gotten his proper due for his early innovative and influential work with electronics and hope that his legacy continues to grow.

Gotharman's SpazeDrum: Group Morphs/Levels


gotharman

"Some new functionality has been added in the V4.36 update...
www.gotharman.dk"

Update 4.36

-A cool icon is now shown at start-up!

-256 favorite sounds can now be stored, for instant recall.

-Added functionality of the 4 Edit Knobs: Group Morph and Group Levels.

-Oscillator D can now be sent to the analog oscillators.

-Ring modulated noise has been added as a noise source on Analog Percussion and Analog Clap.

-4 new G-RAY soft modes have been added.

Bug fixes:

-If no samplings were imported in the SpazeDrum FLASH memory, and the oscillator pages were accessed, it would start scanning for samples, which would affect the sequencer and envelopes timing. This has now been fixed.

-If a part was set up to External MIDI mode, and this part was controlled from an external MIDI device, notes would hang, if more than one note were played at a time. This has now been fixed.

-The sequencer position was not present on the VCF pages. Now it is.

-The PitchShaper effect Oct parameter would show wrong values (the effect did though work as intended). This has now been fixed.

Hydrasynth, Slim Phatty, Virus C, Pro 2, Gadget: "Elizabeth's Land"


Brittle stR music

"The bass lead is from the Phatty, going through the Line 6 HX Stomp tape echo. I'm sweeping the VCF cutoff as the sequence plays. The pad is the Hydrasynth, with multiple LFOs unpredictably modulating the cutoff of both filters. The high reverb'ed sequence is the Virus. The S&H drone in the middle section is the Pro2. Drums and sequencing from Korg Gadget 2.

The title is a location in the sci-fi novel 'Legacy' by Greg Bear, which for me has the most vivd and inventive depiction of an alien biology in all of fiction."
