Catering to the needs of the noisy.
Another fairly simple noisebox synth combining an AM/FM oscillator configuration with an Atari Punk Console-style triggered monostable.
Video demo:
FSA Latcher demo – VST3i noisebox synth
Latcher is a VST3i 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 a circuit I built called the Modutronic Messmaker (an AM/FM noisebox), XORbot, and an Atari Punk Console.
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 APC-like 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”.
Just for fun, some ultra-minimal technoid made with Giorgio Sancristoforo’s early electronic music studio simulation, Berna3. The video was made with TouchDesigner.

XORbot is somewhat related to NANDroid, in that it uses logical operations to generate sounds, and features a similar modulation setup and synth engine. The synth itself is finished, just working on presets and a manual.
Here’s an audio demo, starting from a preset and tweaking knobs:

Uploaded a bank of 64 patches for Full Bucket Music’s free DW-6000/8000 emulation, FB-7999. The bank can be downloaded from the VSTi section of the Synth Patches page.
Uploaded a new (and free) SFZ, sampled from a Kurzweil K2000. The sound is made from one of the K2000’s built-in piano sounds, and makes use of amplitude modulation. It can be found on the Samples page or downloaded directly with the following link:
I’ve been uploading stuff to patchstorage.com, starting with my VCV Rack patches. I’ve also started adding Reaktor stuff, and in the process have made a demo video for Loid’s Cousin. The others will follow in the near future.
Loid’s Cousin (Reaktor synth) Demo
“Loid’s Cousin” is a noisebox/sound generator based on concepts from my DIY Lunetta modular, complete with blinkenlichten. Lunettas are simple machines based…
