Waldorf Microwave XT Editor – MonstrumWave 2.5 via Ctrlr

this is a CTRLR Patch for editing the Waldorf Microwave XTk , Microwave XT Digital Synthesizer, of course it can not access the Waves and Tables since they are higher SysEx commands, but this one looks nice to use. looks like a lot of work, tho‘ update: since it is not exactly free check the site – the demo is free! .. see comment! it’s here: monstrumMedia   note: update for the Wolfgang Palm App „Wavegenerator“, since it’s about Wavetables – the features look very interesting.

Pluto 3000 Analog tripple matrix synth

fantastic dream synths. via Remy Tran @ FB, this one has not had it’s big days, so someone called it pluto early or just because it WAS called Pluto that time or possibly this time? it was made in 1978 and seems based on PAIA and Formant as this czech (and unreadable to non czechs) pags says it was made in the dark times behind the iron curtain and finalized in 1982 (by George Vysohlid) – so the basic part in here isn’t unknown to us but has a creative way…

MIDI channels/patches/voices are distinct entities, allowing many different flexible configurations, from 6 independent monophonic parts each on a different MIDI channel, to 1 polysynth, with everything in-between (unison, keyboard split,…

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…
