WebModular – free browser-based modular synthesizer
g200kg has released WebModular, a free browser-based modular synthesizer:
WebModular is a simple modular software synthesizer, written in HTML 5 + Javascript. Realtime sound generation with javascript While an interesting proof of concept, WebModular suffers from limitations that plague most browser-based music software. Most notably, it runs like your hardware is a lot older than it really is.
Program for MoogerFooger Synth, Taurus 3 and Theremin
Synth dude in a white coat fiddling with his gear 
The CP 251’s LFO is the heart of the time driven events in this program. It is driving the rate of the Sequencer, the sample and hold that is sent to the MF-101 filter, and is being lag processed and controlling the pitch of the Mf-107 Freqbox. Noise from the CP is also being processed by the 103 Phaser. The q119 is modulating the pitch of the Mf-102, creating a melody, that is fed to the Synthesizers.com VCA, to the 104z Delay and to the board. The q119 is also firing gates to the envgen which is controlling the vca. The Voyager is taking a nap in this piece, but is midi controlling the Taurus Pedals. The touch surface is activating the sequencer. The Theremin was obviously a lacking overdub, but I was in a hurry to finish this program so I could rip the cords out and start over.
Cp251: Lfo squarewave multiplied: 1. Lagged, sent to Freqbox Freq In. 2. Sent to q119 to control rate. 3. Sample and Hold to MF-101 Cutoff Frequency
Noise source sent to phaser, Phaser output to board.
Q119, 1×24 stage sequence modulating the freq input of the mf102. Gate output to Envgen.
MF102: Audio to VCA then to delay then to board.
Voyager: Midi controlling Taurus 3, Touchscreen
Making a cover of Duran Duran’s “Save a Prayer”
Synth spotting featuring a Duran Duran classic:
This is but a small part of the “process” in making my next Cover. It is a bit long, made a mistake so had to start again. A few more tracks (guitar) to record, then in a few weeks I’ll upload.
Fsynthz releases ProgAte free MIDI router VST
ProgAte is a MIDI processor/router, which allows you to control up to 8 synths with one MIDI keyboard.
“You send midi program changes, together with all the rest midi events, to ProgAte. ProgAte splits and filters the stream, remaps the ProgChange messages – and outputs the processed midi stream, one channel per synth (up to 8 for one instance of ProgAte).”

Bucephal – the delay that is not meant to be used as a delay
Bucephal is a delay plug-in that is not meant to be used as a delay. It gives you two parallel delay lines, each one up to 2 seconds, and lets you mangle delay times with two nice modulators.
A spokesperson told us, ” Thanks to an envelope follower and a LFO, Bucephal can fulfill some of your daily glitch needs, morphing between vibrato, flanging, pitch shifting, and crushing effects. The large modulation range of delay times can lead to some pleasingly annoying artifacts, and if your incoming audio needs even more dirt, the randomizer and waveshaper will be there to help.”
Bucephal is available for both Windows and Mac Os X, as VST (32/64 bit) and AU (32/64 bit, Mac only).
Features:
- 2 parallel delay lines with up to 2 seconds length
- Time parameter interpolation provides nice pitch artifacts
- First delay line time can be controlled by an envelope follower
- Second delay line time can be controlled by a LFO (tempo free or synced)
- Classic waveforms for the LFO (sin, square, saw up, saw down, triangle, sample and hold)
- 7 mix modes
- Soft clipping and waveshaping can be applied to the output
- Randomizer
- Clean minimalist interface
- Lifetime free updates for registered customers
Pricing and Availability:
20€ – all platforms and formats

Matrix-12 (Xpander) Tutorial 1: Intro, Programmer, Primary Pages
http://gstormelectronica.blogspot.com/
This is the first tutorial in a series dedicated to editing sounds on the Oberheim Matrix-12 and Xpander synthesizers. In this video I will cover the basics of creating and saving a SINGLE-mode patch. If you already know how to get around in the programming interface you might want to skip this video. Having a basic knowledge of editing synthesizers, oscillators, filters, LFOs, and envelopes will help get the most out of programing this beast.
