FVC - Polyphonic Four Voice Controller for Eurorack

Image
Eurorack version designed for Behringer 2-XM (Works with any MIDI equipped synth with 0-10V CV inputs) CTRLR Editor  FVC mounted in Eurorack GO case         Detailed information about the Polyphonic Four Voice  Controller for 2-XM in a Eurorack   Envelope - ADSR plots There are no Digital to Analogue   Converters -DACs  used in this design. The only additional components on the FVCs are op-amps to boost the 5v output to 10V. The ProMicro supports analogue output using PWM. If this happens at a very high frequency the output is very smooth. The output is filtered with a simple RC filter and there is no digital noise picked up by the synth. The Attack is 0-10s with Decay and Release up to 15s. The envelope is exponential. Here are some plots from various ADSR settings:           Basic Version - No CV Control  FVC-1         Four Voice Controller with Keyboard Logic and Faux Vibrato ...

UB-Xa VX Editor for Mac and PC

Image
Update  - UB-Xa VX Editor Just a cosmetic update with a better layout that fits on 2 screens. Everything needed to edit a patch is now on the first screen. The second is for Atrophy and Globals. Enjoy!   Mac versions were built on an iMac running Catalina. Plugins tested with Live 10, Logic 10.6 and Cubase LE 10.5. The plugins were compiled using Reaper. Users report that the standalone app works on later M1 Macs but the  plugins do not. I will try and test this update on an M2 if I can get access to one. Some Silicon users have left some useful comments: Jump to comments   PC version is standalone only and has been tested on Windows 10 and 11. But Windows 11 now supports Mutli Client Midi you can run the editor and still use the same MIDI ports in your sequencer without conflicts. This is a game changer for Windows and MIDI.

Oberheim TEO-5 Editor

Oberheim TEO-5 Editor CTRLR Editor for TEO-5 New Version VX  with everything you need to edit a patch on one page!  Improved Screen Layout   Mac versions were built on an iMac running Catalina. Plugins tested with Live 10, Logic 10.6 and Cubase LE 10.5. The plugins were compiled using Reaper. Users report that the standalone app works on later M1 Macs but the  plugins do not. YMMV   PC version is standalone only and has been tested on Windows 10 and 11.   Standalone Versions - if you are running these alongside your sequencer or DAW do not leave the MIDI track that is sending to the TEO in record mode or armed while using the editor. This will confuse the synth as the TEO will echo SysEx info to the editor and to the sequencer. So this is the rule: when using the editor turn off record for that track  in your sequence.   Oberheim TEO-5 Standalone Editors    TEO-5 VX PC Standalone     TEO-5 VX Mac Standalone   ...

CV to MIDI Interface for Analogue Sequencer

Image
This is another project based on Arduino and the Pro Micro. Many years ago with the help of friend and fellow musician/programmer, Linden Owen, we produced the CARP1601. This was very loosely based on the ARP1601 analogue sequencer. It was never commercially viable due to the high component count and the cost of those components. 19 pots, 19 knobs, 17 LEDs, 24 switches, 15 jack sockets and then add on PCB, components case and PSU. Anyway, it was a fun project! Note this project will work with any analogue sequencer that has Gate and CV outputs. Voltages may need to be scaled in the sketch using the map function. 3 CARP 1601s with the SYNC24 and MIDI Interface We built about 6 in the end, sold a couple and I was left with 3 units that I have used constantly for more than 20 years. In 2022 I decided to make some improvements mainly to the gate switches. But towards the end of the 2022 I realised it would be relatively easy to add a board to the CARP rack that could provide MIDI Out and p...
