Drone station demo

Tweet

This is a quick demonstration of DroneStation, a new app for the iPhone/Touch. A 2-oscillator synth, with an unique multi-touch interface that will hopefully make it more playable than trying to peck away at a little keyboard.

Screenshot showing it’s a 2-osc synth with a resonant 4PLP filter.

A good look at the Moog

Tweet

Bill Holland was minding his business in the Gearwire studio when the ancient alien creature known as the Caretaker transported him to the Delta Quadrant, where his only hope of getting home was to shoot this series of video demos on the Moog Music Minimoog Voyager.

Part 1

Bill Holland wakes up on the wrong side of the Voyager in this amazing display of ghost piano. Where’s the sound coming from if nobody’s pressing the keys? The secret lies within this video. Don’t look at the Moog Minimoog Voyager, look through it!

Part 2

Ever onward with our look at the Moog Music Minimoog Voyager. The next stop on this luxury-synth cruise will take us to the banks of assignable control options, including everyone’s annular favorite, the mod wheel.

Part 3

Waldorf Largo manual

I have gotten a lot of questions on how to get hold of the manual for the Waldorf Largo (perhaps it is not included in any torrent packages, LOL)

Well now you can have the manual in either way

Free synth for Nintendo DS

Tweet

Hotelsinus Sound Design has released version 0.23 of TonesynthDS, a free software synth for the Nintendo DS. TonesynthDS is an easy to use matrix tone synth with a simple instrument generator.

TonesynthDS features

• 16×16 pattern editor (16 accord, 16 tone (the scale is selectable), first line is always the C3).
• 16 different pattern stock.
• Different volume setting possibility for each accord (in the second editor mode).
• Adjustable tempo.
• Possibility to play a pattern looped with the default sound samples or with generated sound samples.
• With the button X you can clear a pattern (and set the volumes of that pattern to maximum).
• Sound sample generator. You can listen a test sound with ADSHR, play a continuous test sound without adshr (but you can set the parameters on the fly) or generate the full stock, that will be used by the pattern player. The system is fully usable while you play or generate samples. Although the playing of the pattern will be paused during the generation.
• For the generation there are two oscilloscopes. Both can generate sinus, saw, rectangle and organ. The frequency of the second oscilloscope can be set relative to the frequency of the first oscilloscope with a slider under that except for the ‘am’ mixing type where you can set the absolute frequency between 0 and 20 hertz.
• 3 mixing types: Amplitude modulation, ring modulation (the difference is in the base frequency of the second oscilloscope) and cross modulation. For the last one you can set the cross fade factor with the slider under the first oscilloscope.
• Low pass filter with resonance.
• ADSHR for the generated samples. The length of the samples are limited to 2 seconds.

TonesynthDS v0.23 is available as freeware for Nintendo DS.

Synthex, Morphex and Graphex

Tweet

The Synthex analog synth and sound effects generator gives you all the “full-force, knob-turning analog power” you could want in a little red box. The driving element of Synthex is a VCO that outputs square and triangle waveforms. It also has two external audio inputs for creating hard sync and FM effects; dedicated crossfaders for controlling the Mix and Levels; and a switch for reconfiguring the internal signal path.

Likewise, the Morphex is monster-green, hybrid analog synth and effect unit that takes any two line-level sounds and morphs between them in “beautiful and bizarre” ways. It’s ideal for creating distorted and warped sounds.

The Graphex, on the other hand, is a dynamic gating and rhythm effect ideal for creating and manipulating “trance-gate” patterns, 303-style accents, drum loop edits, and stutter effects. The blue-hued unit performs all chopping and gating actions in real-time.

The first system contains 8 panel units and sufficient blank panels to fill the voids:

System #1 1 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 2 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 1 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 8 System Price – $9950

The Addition of a Router, a Source of Uncertainty and an Arbitrary Function Generator bring us to the second suggested system:

System #2 1 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator (2 panel units) 2 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 1 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 1 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 12 System Price – $14,000

Here’s a fully loaded 18 panel unit system that features the 222e (its finally shipping):

System #3 1 Model 201e – 18 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port (4 panel units) 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator (2 panel units) 3 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 1 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 1 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 1 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 18 System Price – $19,650

Here’s a system with 24 panel units, all crammed into our new 201e-24 cabinet. This is not a system to be packing around from gig to gig, but it’s certainly great for the studio.

System #4 1 Model 201e – 24 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dim Kinesthetic Input Port 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator (2 panel units) 1 Model 256e Control Voltage Processor 4 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 2 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 2 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager 1 Model 297 Infinite Phase Shifter Total panel units – 24 System price – $26,800

But if you must pack a big one around, we’d suggest system #5, which substitutes a 206e mixer / preset manager for the 297 Infinite phase shifter and two smaller cabinets for the monstrous 201e – 24.

System #5 2 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinets 1 Model 206e Mixer / Preset Manager 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dim Kinesthetic Input Port 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator 1 Model 256e Quad Control Voltage Processor 4 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 2 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Freq Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 2 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 24 System Price – $27,050

Next, we present a larger system – one 12 panel units and one 18 panel units:

System #6 1 Model 201e – 18 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 206e Mixer / Preset Manager 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port (4 panel units) 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 2 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generators (2 panel units each) 1 Model 256e Quad Control Voltage Processor 6 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 3 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 3 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 30 System Price – $33,300

And finally, the gourmet system, with all but the kitchen sink squeezed into two 18 panel unit cabinets:

System #7 2 Model 201e – 18 Powered Cabinets 1 Model 206e Mixer / Preset Manager 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port (4 panel units) 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 2 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generators (2 panel units each) 1 Model 255 Control Voltage Processor 1 Model 256e Quad Control Voltage Processor 1 Model 260e Duophonic Pitch Class Generator 6 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 4 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 2 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 4 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager 1 Model 297 Infinite Phase Shifter Total Panel units – 36 System Price – $39,800
