MODULAR EXPANSION PODCAST #055 | GEORGE APERGIS

Added some features to generative semi-random sequencer (Mersenne-Twister Tiny), now with key changes on predefined secondary scale. Also switched to mono delay to achieve longer periods (due to RAM limitations)

stm32f401 - 4-polysynth + additive/saw + monodelay

New oscillator type: square wave w/ LFO controlled duty cycle modulation for complete electro madness... (LFO: sine @ 110Hz, duty cycle between 5% - 95%)

stm32f401 - 4-polysynth + square mod

added new global LFO to control stereo positioning of synth voices and their 2 oscillators, also doubled delay period (due to previous brain fart...)

stm32f401 - 4-polysynth + additive/saw + autopan + delay

Experimental spiral oscillator (x 2, slightly detuned) + fixed LPF @ 11.8kHz. Oscillator takes y-value of 2d spiral equation to produce waveform (with PolyBLEP to smooth). No filter modulation. LFO is only used to modulate number of spiral turns/twists (0.5 - 3.5)

sin(lfo * phase) * phase / TWO_PI

stm32f7 - synth - spiral

MODULAR EXPANSION PODCAST #065 | DRUMCELL

Best enjoyed with headphones! Recorded live set in hotel after last minute tech issues during my lecture. Turned out the Korg nanoKontrol lost its configuration earlier - such a shame, was looking forward to hear it on big speakers! :)

Synth is running on a £35 STM32F746-DISCO board and also implements a 2-track 8-step sequencer w/ interactive controls for osc waveform, filter, env, delay, LFO and global transpose all via Korg nanoKontrol... Activated notes are randomly picked from a fixed scale (only once, not random at every invocation)

STM32F7 live recording (Resonate)
