Published on Jan 29, 2013 panote09·106 videos

"The Freq. knob controls two VCOs inside and makes noisy fat sound.

The VCOs go to VCF which is the analog synth low pass filter(cut off frequency and resonance).

The envelope generator can be used as a LFO can makes lots of shapes of vibration.

Set the shapes of vibration with attack and release ,and repeat it or 1 shot.

midihub++ kit: 6 way MIDI splitter and beat clock distributor

Published on Jan 29, 2013 Jason Hotchkiss·115 videos

"This is a kit I have developed from a previous project. The original idea was a gizmo for MIDI jam sessions where several musicians might share a common beat clock accessible to all. The same device also does a 6-way MIDI thru/split so its a pretty handy thing to have.

On board there is a PIC16F688 MCU, a 6N138 opto-isolator and a 4050 six-way non-inverting buffer chip. The PIC handles both the beat clock and the MIDI thru, so there is no contention between the two. Power is via a mini USB socket.

I decided to get some PCBs made up and make an inexpensive kit available on Tindie.

Simmons SDS-V with Built-in MFB SEQ-01 Sequencer

via XBS where you'll find the full details including more pics.

"The MFB SEQ-01 needs to be routed to the trigger or sequencer inputs on the SDS-V cards. I had a few options here. One was to connect the sequencer outs to the Simmons’ native sequencer inputs. The other was to hook it up to the trigger or pad inputs. I opted to use the trigger inputs ( counter intuitive, i know! ) because this gave me a gain adjustment on the face plate of the brain for each trigger from the sequencer to the drum module. The SDS-V drum modules are very dynamic and it’s useful to be able to hit them with sequencer trigger more or less to taste..."

Buchla 250e self programming 4 step rhythm

Published on Jan 29, 2013 dkimcg·144 videos

"4 modulators (generated by the 281e & 266e) go into the 250e external input and are used for timing modulation. This makes the small inner circle timing knobs selectors for the 4 inputs and ends up in a pseudo feeback loop controlling the timing on the 4 steps. The 4 steps are stupid simple (output 1 is on for all 4 steps, output 2 is on for just step 1), but the modulations reprogram the timing as well as modulating timbre, then hilarity ensues."

The Harvestman English Tear - Volt Per Octave Converter for KORG MS20

via The Harvestman on Facebook

"Many good things were displayed at NAMM. To me, one of the most important was the new Korg MS-20 Mini. I played with it for a long time and enjoyed it very much. It is very close to my full-size model. The MS-20 itself is an electronic instrument of extreme cultural importance, being the tool that motivated the development of several significant electronic music styles. This new version, available to all at a very low price, can only mean good things for the further development of these styles, and modular synthesis technique in general.

Because of this impending instrument release, I announce with great satisfaction ENGLISH TEAR, the first in a line of small utility modules. This module features the expected 'voltage processor' attenuverter and big offset knobs, but also includes a full set of functions for interfacing to an MS-20. Easy conversion from exponential volt-per-octave to linear hertz-per-volt and back, as well as V-trigger to S-trigger conversion. Jack normalling fixes the voltage processors to these converter circuits, so you may scale the input voltages as desired. The log/expo converter ciruits also have many other uses in your modular system beyond the conversion of pitched voltages.

Price? Cheaper than anything else I've done. It will be released when the MS-20 comes out. I was thinking of dropping it into the Zorlon/Donut production run scheduled for April, but if the MS is somehow released before that I can expedite the build."

Spectral Eye for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch

Published on Jan 28, 2013 SecretBaseDesign·10 videos

"Spectral Eye is a free sound analysis tool from Secret Base Design

Sound wave forms can be decomposed into individual sine waves by using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This is frequently used by musicians and sound engineers to analyze the performance of microphones and speakers, as well as to study the tone of musical instruments.

The traditional way to visualize an FFT is with a frequency chart. Spectral Eye takes this information, and wraps it as a spiral, so that frequencies that are an octave apart are lined up as rays from the center of the display.

The app performs analysis in real time on audio. The app was initially developed as a debugging tool, used while working on some of our other apps. We decided to make this freely available to anyone who might want to use it. The app supports the iPad, iPhone (including the iPhone 5), and iPod touch. The current version also allows freezing of the display to look more closely at sound frequencies."
