 The Cynthcart turns the Commodore 64 into a kickass synthesizer. 3 Note Polyphony with no latency, LFO for vibrato, Portamento, Support for 2nd SID chip (stereo chorus effects), Filter cutoff control via paddle controller, control of attack and release... Much cheaper than a SidStation... [Via Get LoFi] Permalink : : Visit module main site : : 0 comments  
 In memory of Robert "Bob" Moog, died on august 21, 2005. This week synth of the week is The Synth of the century, considered as the very first synti for musician due to its incredible warm and fat sound. A lot of infos on the net... We will miss you Dr Moog!

 I like a lot Sensitive Object company because they are French, because they talk about man-machine interfaces and because they made a technology to control everything possible with sounds waves : this technology is based on the recognition of sound waves which propagate in an object when it is touched at a precise location. A tap on a table possesses an acoustic signature that is distinctive at the point of impact. In other words, the waves that are emitted from a precise point are diffused in the material differently from a tap that occurs a few centimeters away. This property was discovered thanks to a physical process called temporal reversal, which precisely identifies the source of the emitted waves. At this time they've developed some flat virtual keyboard for and a line of embedded products in the form of electronic modules to integrate very easily in all host devices. These modules are of low power consumption and reduced cost : think about this technologie for music gear... Permalink : : Visit module main site : : 4 comments
 I discover highly_liquid via Get LoFi blog. They sell MIDI interface to control a large array of gear. So far their new MIDISpeak Module (great name!!) is their best interface : Adds a standard MIDI IN port to your Speak & Spell, Speak & Read, or Speak & Mat. Another module is a 8 output MIDI decoder with integrated relay, transistor, or 5V switching and behaviour customization. Perhaps a good idea to interface it with Speakjet?

 I like a lot this video ! Music on vinyl is represented as a time-line. And Deejay can control it with usual turntablism tricks... Remember that you can "really" do that with the Pioneer DVJ-X1. You must watch this video. Permalink : : Visit module main site : : 0 comments

 Remember the exciting Speakjet voice synthesizer chip ? Here is the Insanium a 4 oscillator digital / analog hybrid synth designed and coded from the ground up by Lorin Edwin Parker and built from scratch. The speakjet is used for both speech, and as a synth. It also contains analog filters, mixers, mosfet preamps and a slew of other sound stuff. The instrument also contains a hand-held radio and a patchable matrix mixer, as well as a computer data port for preset programming and firmware update and an auxiliary input.
