FSA Cymbols released (VST3i cymbal/percussion synth)

fstate

Cymbols is a percussion synthesizer specifically designed for electronic cymbal and hihat sounds. The methods it uses to synthesize sounds are derived mostly from old analog drum machines (with a few tweaks), though it is not designed to specifically emulate any one machine or series of machines.

Modutronic Messmaker schematic revision

fstate

Some 13 years later, I’ve done a little revision to the Modutronic Messmaker circuit schematic. The Messmaker was intended to be a “beginner” build, and this new revision removes some complexity (and cost). The original version is also still available here and from a link on the page.

The original version includes a direct output from the 555, as well as inputs for the LM567 AM and the 555 CV in. My original thought was that these would be cool features for a beginner’s circuit, giving one easy access to some modular-style interconnectivity. However, all these years later, even I have rarely used these features. The quick & dirty nature of this circuit also means they don’t work the way one might expect with other modular stuff, which has become more common.

AMOTA (Reaktor FX) released

fstate

Because one can never have too many filters.

AMOTA is a filter/distortion/mangler effect based mostly on amplitude modulation and analog-style filters. It is essentially the filter and most of the modulation sections from Noisebot RKV as an effect processor with a couple extra toys.

Available here or from the Reaktor User Library.
