Going for some drone this time around. Main sound source here is trowaSoft’s multiWave oscillator.

Noise On Linux: no-input mixing in Carla

fstate

This started out as just testing whether feedback routing is possible in Carla (it is), and ended up as a bit of fun virtual knob-twiddling. Uses LV2 and VST plugins from the following developers:

x42
Airwindows
TAL
Invada
MDA
Steve Harris
Guitarix Team

All of these plugins and the Carla host program are available from the KX Studio repositories.

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.
