Formant Sequencing • FS1R goes flash

ok, the FS1R Digital Synthesizer  is for FM, but it also had formant sequences, this flash website simulates this kind of approach, looks very much like resynthesis but is is meant FSEQ – set the speed of the FSEQ curve to get a sample „granulized“ – and still note that this is not granular, nor is it re-synthesis but sequencing formants on 8+8 Oscillators (voiced and unvoices as we know from the FS1R). what does it do? it plays a group of frequencies and moves around in the frequency range. that’s not really…

Textsound – PD Surface / Controller for iPad — and: Multyer, a synth

textsound is a helper for iPads to deal and interface with PD, Max’s little brother – well, you won’t need it if you do not use PD, so it’s the best just to tell you there is a nice 3€ App thats lets you easily control all your PD „patches“. It has a very staight „system os x style“ controller set which isn’t a bad thing, – just wondering why it took so long to have a tool like this and there is a free lite version of it. aaaand,…

Poly-Ana

DSC00531.jpeg (500×375). just a fictional synth from Admiral Quality (admiralquality) on Twitter – but in fact it is more, but no hardware.. maybe inspired by the Synth-Project, that can be found on his site: AdmiralQuality.com. and it’s free – a 3 OSC synth with 3 ENV Gens, 2 LFOs and double filter with mod-section.  

Voco (der) and Strange Attractor Chaos Effects Generator for iPad

Voco for iPad  – these 2 apps do vocoding (Voco) which is a touch controlled phase model (a bit more than usual) and the chaos thing is basically… At its heart is a feedback system which can spontaneously oscillate, or respond to incoming sounds, processing them into fractal sonic textures.It generates a wide range of undulating sounds, controlled by touch, which slowly evolve in unpredictable ways. The sound is visualised as an ever-changing dynamic form. and looks like this very much like metaphysical function but almost „automatic“, no parameters to set..…

Roland Kuit SoundLab II book of patching: Nord Modular / G2

Roland Kuit SoundLab II Mr Kuit is one of three very very talented modular gurus (the other 2 being Rob Hordijk and Tim Kleinert) – they all do very deep work and really go beyond the limits of the synth, in this case of course the Clavia Modular series which is unfortunately no longer available atm, but we all hope for a G3 sample-able synth since they got a sample engine and the cool G2 which must not be changed that much to still be cool – of course it’s nerdy…

Tone2 ElectraX – VST – a „standard workhorse“ kind of synth (VA without Box)

Well I was searching for some softsynths, that fit well into todays production standards and found the ElectraX, which should work quite well on standard music productions without being boring – it’s a va without a box ;) Tone2 – VST, VSTi, download, synth, synthesizer, AU, audiounit, audio, sound, music, instrument, effect, software, electronic, music. of course it isn’t just a standard, you may compare it to the Waldorf Largo (Blofeld-Plugin Synth without sample access), it can do samples, wavetables and FM between the 3 oscillators and has 2 filters…

TC-11 Multi-Touch Synthesizer (ios)

This is the TC11, here’s the usual GUI via 2D iPad Control. but this time it is multiple „circles“ that you touch to control this synth which quite flexible… via TC-11 Multi-Touch Synthesizer – Performance Demo – YouTube. Here’s the synthesis talk, which may be more interesting to you, right? there is a sound chain with waveshapers, filters (lpf, bpf, hpf) and digital Waveform in the oscillator and AHDSR envelopes and of course a 16step sequencer.all controlled by concentric circles and dots to touch. via Forum  iPad im Studio?
