The DecadeBridge Sn is a Perfect Synth (for me)
It's exceedingly rate for me to buy something on release day and almost unheard of for me to pre-order an unreleased product, but when small UK based synth maker DecadeBridge announced a small, self-contained lo-fi, FM-based drone synth with CV control, I clicked the buy button instantly.

Lep Lumanoise / Crows Electromusic Ovum / Magpie Pedals Wet - A Study of Cronch
Просмотров 78314 дней назад
I'm working on a video about these neat Lep Lumanoise devices, but while I was getting to know them, I ended up with this small set-up that I was finding quite inspiring, so I thought I would record a short performance. The percussive element is the Lep Monocassa, and I'm routing its internal trigger through a delay to get additional rhythms when required. The drones are the Lep Lumanoise v4 an...

BONUS PATCH - Using Neo Trinity as a Drum Machine?!

Here's a little bonus patch that I couldn't fit into my main video on the Neo Trinity, but I thought was worth sharing. This is a drum machine made out of Neo Trinity and 2 VCAs.

    But it can't create a SYSEX message? A lot of Synths use SYSEX for custom settings, like my Arturia Keylab's pad colors, so what's the point? When I go to their site all I see are excuses from their developers saying like we'll get to that after we take care of all of these other important things. SYSEX is a critical feature of the midi protocol, so almost and thanks for playing. It looked promising. I'm more concerned with the attitude of their devs than this particular feature though. Guess I'll build my own from Teensy.

    • @OscillatorSink
      @OscillatorSink 12 дней назад

      Sysex is vendor specific and unstructured beyond the start and end byte. How would you envisage this working with the pipeline paradigm in the UI? You would probably have to embed some kind of scripting language no? I've built stuff for controlling synths with sysex, but it's had to be pretty domain specific each time. Do you have a use case in mind?

    • @jvburnes
      @jvburnes 12 дней назад

      ​@@OscillatorSink You just tie the SYSEX stage into a simple pipeline from any button, which gives you a one-shot sysex message. Every time you hit a selected key or pad it pipelines to the SYSEX event. Can't get much simpler. Of course there are sysex messages which could be used to upload entirely new firmware images to a synth, but I don't see that having much use for typical uses like configuration changes, mode switches, bank selection, LED colors etc. Its primary use is for MIDI event creation and automation.

    • @OscillatorSink
      @OscillatorSink 12 дней назад

      For one shots I guess that makes sense. I can't think of anything I own that I'd use that for, but I guess it might be cool in some setups. All the stuff I've wanted to do with sysex has needed more logic, scaling, packaging of parameters, etc.
