Floyd Steinberg: This is the last video on this channel...

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"... in 2023. Thanks for all your support, and I'll be back with new energy and interesting projects next year. Have a good new year and may all your plans and dreams come true. ;-)

This improvisation is based on Zynthian, which was one of the many pleasant surprises '23 had in store. It's sequencing 8 plugins and Motor Synth. Also acting as effects unit for the Dreadbox. Both synths are connected to Zynthians audio inputs.

RK008 with an eeehr KO?... no.... OP-Z! 😊

video upload by Retrokits

"Just a quick demo on how to start a (perhaps not so fancy) song with the RK008 . Covering a basic beat, bass, chords and making a song structure."

Serge GTS eurorack - 1V/Octave demo

video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"The Serge GTS is a complete redesign of the famous Serge Dual Universal Slope Generator (DUSG) by Serge himself - with a new core, optimized for speed and tracking. Like some of the clones it can be used for CV, but provides exceptional audio performance: transient rise times as fast as 12µs and a maximum cycle speed of 28kHz.

In this demo 2 GTS are used parallel as Sawtooth oscillators (= 4 oscillators), controlled via 1V/Oct and Midi / keyboard. In such Sawtooth mode, the GTS tracks over about 6 octaves, up to more than 2kHz."

Gater - Serge Gated Comparator Sketch

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Using the Loudest Warning versions of the Ken Stone Gated Comparator to play the Serge system. The GC takes 2 inputs (any time-varying voltage source and a clock source) and sends out a variety of CVs and Gates based on the incoming clock, using 8 shift registers that sequentially pass the voltages along. Its hard to explain what's happening, because there are a few extra details that complicate it. One is that each of the 8 steps can have an offset voltage added with a knob setting. Also there is a loop function which can be different to the inputs. Then there are different outputs - a mix of all the voltages on each step, or random voltages per step. A range knob sets the general voltage range its going to output, and there is a sensitivity knob to control how much of the variable cv input is setting off the stages. Its pretty hit and miss, and is one of those modules that is best just experimented with, but it can give amazing results that can't be done on anything else (apart from other modules based on this idea, such as the Rungler, Klee sequencer, Turing Machine, etc). Its great for semi-random sequences of notes and other cvs, as well as gates and timing pulses

In this patch I'm using one GC (on the right of the panel) to do the pitches and a second one (far left) to send out cvs to control the timbre of the oscillator. This second GC is a slimmed down version with less controls and no individual gate outs, but its the same thing in principle

The strange wonky rhythms are being made with a combination of the window comparators and the EG which has an equally baffling array of input and output options

So in other words, this is a an extremely fun panel to experiment with when making aleatoric music 😁"

"Legendary ARP Odyssey MKI 2800 in black (YES, they made this model in black during later years!). This one is in very good condition. Synthesizer technicians have commented that they have never encountered one in this great of condition. This works exactly as it should.

This has been recently serviced by Bell Tone Synth Works just outside of Philadelphia. It has been serviced and calibrated.

In recent years, this synth has had its capacitors replaced and all of the faders replaced. There are 1/4" CV, GATE, and TRIGGER inputs added to the rear."

Full Bucket Stigma - KORG Sigma KP-30 Soft Synth

video upload by Elektronick Musick

"The Stigma is a software instrument for Microsoft Windows (VST2/VST3/CLAP) and Apple macOS (VST2/VST3/CLAP/AU) simulating the KORG Sigma KP-30 Performing Synthesizer from 1979. It is written in native C++ code for high performance and low CPU consumption. Main features are:

Nineteen Presets with individual filters, envelopes, and amplifiers
Two band-limited oscillators with four footages (32' to 4')
Synthe preset section:
Eight presets including Noise and Ring modulator
Individual lowpass and global highpass filters
Instrument preset section:
Eleven presets, Delayed Vibrato effect
Effect section:
Portamento, Quarter Tone, Keyboard Sensor (aftertouch) and more
Tweaks (not to be found in the original Sigma):
Up to 64 voices polyphony with Velocity
Chorus/Ensemble section
Preset editor
Supports MTS-ESP by ODDSound dynamic micro-tuning
Resizable user interface (not "N" version!)
MIDI Learn – all parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC
40 additional presets by kraftraum"

Arduino sample synthesizer is now full of samples - loading SF2 and WAV samples on ESP32 & RP2040

video upload by Marcel Licence

"I've been working on improving the sampler project, especially how it loads sound samples.
Now, you can load samples from SF2 soundfonts, wav files, and a chosen directory.
This project works on ESP32 and RP2040, and more support is in the works.
I've also included the effects section from the last project.

Soundfonts do contain one big chunk of 16bit/24bit sample data, a list of data sets.
They have details about the range, tuning, and loop points of the samples.
There's also a list of instruments that can use different samples for various key and speed levels.
Lastly, there's a list of presets with additional settings.
I tried to make it easy to load specific parts of the soundfont, leaving out some options on purpose for flexibility.

You can also load wav files. These files might have extra information about the samples, like loop regions and tuning.
They are stored in an additional tag: "smpl".

In the future, I'm thinking of supporting different data formats (like 8-bit and stereo) and adding more file formats for loading samples.
I'm considering vgm and spc (Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo samples) and aif files containing sample info.
