Norns is a small, portable sound computer that dynamically runs scripts and DSP, such as: sample-cutter (using a grid, aka mlr)polysynth (connect a MIDI keyboard)algorithmic drum machine (MIDI CC-mapped)drone box (no input)granulator (controlled via OSC using a phone or tablet)asynchronous looper (stompbox-style)polyphasic sequencer (using a USB-CV interface to control modular synths) these are just a few examples. scripts can be created or modified to completely alter the functionality of the system. we maintain a growing repository of scripts which means the machine will continue to have new possibilities. norns is designed to be changed, encouraging customization and invention. code community specifications audio interface interconnect power processing os.

Ciat-Lonbarde. Futuresonus. Axoloti : a digital audio platform for makers. A new solution to create your own digital synthesizer, effects unit, groovebox or stomp-box, quick and easy.

Or map parameters to MIDI controllers and tweak without computer. After uploading your patch, the hardware runs independent from a computer. Turn it on and play. Axoloti enables "classical" virtual analog synthesis but also allows effects processing, step-sequencing, sample playback, or granular processing. Setup examples You can connect virtually everything with Axoloti - the real killer application is anything you can come up with yourself. For keyboard players and controllerists For instruments with an audio output like an electric guitar The Impact Tech specs.

Roland_Kuit:SoundLab I. Source: electro-music.com From Data Recovery, USA: Roland's synthesis tutorial is hands down the best reference for the Nord G2. Period. It also serves as an outstanding resource and workbook for general synthesis. All the concepts covered in SoundLab can easily be applied to Max, Reaktor, or whatever you use. From Memmorshell. Now I have had this tutorial for a few weeks, I just wanted to say that it is really an amazing source of information. From Drumfish, France: I am so impressed of the work you have done in this tutorial..........just amazing really. From Ark, USA: My first observation is that it is pitched at what I think at just the right level.It assumes you understand the mechanics of creating patches and the rudiments of synthesis. From Marc, The Netherlands I bought several synthesizers purely because I knew they would produce the sound I was looking for. So I bought Roland's tutorial. The Sound Synthesis chapters are great.

Few patch examples: Plan your modular synthesizer rack on ModularGrid. Synth Kit.

Museum of Soviet synthesizers. Aelita Photo Description Electric musical synthesizer Aelita (Murom plant RIP). This monophonic synthesizer with 3 oscillators is a modern musical instrument. If a player uses different musical effects (for example three-part unison, timbral glissando, frequency vibrato, timbre tremolo, decay, attack, strings.) a composition would sound in a new fashion. Sounding may be changed during the playing as well as timbre: special controls are provided for it. There is a possibility to record sounding on a tape during playing composition. The elegent package made out of aluminium alloy and is covered with artificial leather. Specifications: Sounds Aelita | Manuals | Schemes | Maps. Oberheim Matrix 12. Oberheim OB-Mx. The OBMx is a modern synthesizer module with an audio path that is entirely analog.

It has an intuitive and powerful interface which makes it easy for anyone to program their own unique sounds. The OBMx claims to deliver the classic Oberheim and Minimoog sounds while being completely programmable and midi compatible. One historical point is that the OB-Mx is, at present, the last synthesizer designed by Don Buchla. Buchla has sort of disowned this unit, though.

Its filters are actually pretty bad. The OB-Mx was one of the few real analog synths, however, available with completely modern features.

Evaluations des clients pour Korg Volca Keys. $150 Korg Volca Analog Synth, Bass, Drum Grooveboxes, with MIDI: Official Details, Pics, Video. Beats, Bass, Keys – a drum machine, a bass synth, and a lead synth, analog and $150 each. Now with MIDI. All images courtesy KORG; click for biggie versions. The rumors are true: Korg has not one, but three pint-sized, $150 analog groove boxes – two analog synths and a PCM/analog drum machine.

Korg established a bit of a formula with the Monotron and Monotribe: pack some vintage sound and quirky personality into a small box, make it all self-contained (with speaker, batteries, simple touch strips), and then make it affordable. The result is cute, little analog boxes that only Korg could make – and at a price only a big maker could pull off.

Volca keeps to that formula, with new synthesis and drum adding step sequencing features and MIDI that make these into bona fide groove boxes. . $149.99 for an analog groove box, and these things should sell like candy. Adding MIDI to me is a pretty significant improvement. Video, so you can hear them: Korg isn’t pitching this as a toy, either.
