Latcher is a noisebox synth in the same vein as NANDroid and XORbot, and contains many of the same features as those previous synths. The sound-generating part is something of a cross between my Modutronic Messmaker circuit and an Atari Punk Console, in that it combines the AM/FM oscillator configuration with the osc-triggered monostable of the APC. In keeping with the logic-based theme of the previous two noiseboxes, it also includes a switchable “mod osc” that is fed into an XOR gate with the AM/FM signal on the other input (pre monostable).

Here’s a little audio demo:

NANDroid and XORBot have both been updated to V1.01, with the biggest change being that MIDI note value is now available as a modulation source in any of the assignable slots, including the Combiners. This change is largely thanks to a user request.

Another change is that these and other FSA plugins will now be available from Gumroad. They are still available for free if you like, just enter a price of “$0”.

Over the course of 2022, I had some fun messing around with fractal music generators and other generative toys, and I’ve decided to release the results under a new project name. Some of these tracks were originally going to be part of a new Fugue State album, but I ended up getting really into it and soon had enough to fill an album. Since I could see myself doing more of this kind of thing in the future, I decided to call it something else as well, rather than having a bunch of oddball semi-themed releases under an existing project.

This album is available as a pay-what-you-want download from Bandcamp.

Lots of noise from a single sound source (Vult’s Trummor). Video is game footage processed with Acid Cam.

The noise in this one comes from Giorgio Sancristoforo’s test-equipment-for-audio emulator Berna 3. The video is footage from the game Superflight processed in Acid Cam.

Happy new year! This one is based largely on Lunetta-style concepts (via the Lunetta Modula modules in VCV Rack) for most of the sound generation. The video is footage from the game Eldritch run through Acid Cam, then processed further in TouchDesigner.
