Tutorial on Spectral Tools
Spectral Tools uses a time-expansion/compression algorithm based on Jean-Francois Charles’ “A Tutorial on Spectral Sound Processing Using Max/MSP and Jitter”. It allows for extreme stretching and freeze of short samples using video matrices.
The included effects are common tools for the transformation of sounds. It can be controlled via OSC for live performances.

Update on the Teenage synth
Teenage Engineering has released an update on the status of their much-hyped OP-1 synthesizer.
Here’s what they have to say:
Project status
- When it comes to functionality, 90% percent is completed and working.
- Some parts of the system is still being fine tuned and optimized. Overall we are extremely happy with what we have.
- The OP-1 will be shipped with 6 synthesizer engines and 2 sampler types. Pulse was shown at the NAMM show, the other synthesizer
- engines are DrWave, FM, Phase, String, Digital, Cluster. Further it will include 8 effects, 3 LFO types and 3 original sequencers.
- The Mixer section has a dedicated EQ and Drive as well as Master Balance and an additional Master Effect slot.
- The Sequencers can be matched to the tape speed with a feature called Beat Match.
- The Tape also have additional ONE-KEY features added that will be revealed at launch.
Beta test
- The beta test is approaching. The beta sign up has been closed for quite some time. So wait and see if you are one of those we invite to participate.
- When the beta machines will be released those invited have the option to buy a machine, get all updates and be credited in the manual.
- Unfortunately we cannot give beta machines away for free or reduce the price.
- We are very excited about this final phase when the feature set will be locked down and to get feedback from fresh eyes and ears.
Hardware
- We just received the golden sample for the keyboard module / plastic parts from the factory. And we are very satisfied with the look and feel of it.
- The complexity level of the OP-1’s electronics makes component sourcing a bit tricky. As soon as we get the missing chips we will go into production with the first beta batch.
- Shortly after, the first full production run will be started. So keep your fingers crossed that all this works out.

- Estimated release date: TBA (Depending on the last components to arrive)
Initially the OP-1 will be sold exclusively in the Teenage Engineering store.
Enjoying the Ohm Studio
Check http://www.ohmstudio.com for more info! Ohm Studio is a real-time collaborative music workstation (…) Automation became a fundamental part of the composition process, so it should be easy to set up and allow an inspirational workflow. Have you recorded automation for a specific sound and would want to add or test only a few variations here and there? Now there is no need for tedious pattern editing or splitting: with the Ohm Studio you can overlay as many automation patterns as you like.

Demos of the Lektroid
Here’s a little demo of my modular, there is no sequencer, just LFO’s triggering various filters etc.. The suitcase synth is being used for its oscillators
