This program is for dumping individual SYSEX patch files from a Novation Circuit SYSEX Bank file. Because of the limited information on their SYSEX format, this is a bit of a hack/reverse engineer, but an educated one. They may break compatibility one day, but it’s unlikely. It is ONLY for Novation Circuit SYNTH sysex banks.… Read More »
Added a microbrute to my arsenal today.. after some playing around I exported my saved sequences via the Microbrute Connection software. Opened up the resulting .mbseq file and was happy to find out the data is in a simple readable format using midi note values. For example: 1:60 x 72 x 48 x 36 x… Read More »
Korg announced the new Monotribe at Musikmesse this year. A simplified Electribe with the popular MS-20 filter clone and fully analogue 1-OSC synth (rebirthed first by the Monotron) + drums. Some details were leaked just days prior (semi-interestingly, leaks that seemed engineered by Korg) and then after release some basic specs and videos were made available. However, due… Read More »

Finally got around to turning my Bliptronic 5000 into a super affordable Monome, many thanks to the kit by Wil Lindsay. 50$’s + 68$’s = 118$ monome (!)
It’s a novel idea and not nearly the coolest thing about [BLOK],.. but a pretty unique and cool looking one. Made a little video of it:
The Stretta Procedure released a clone of the simple Tonematrix Flash synth that he has dubbed ‘obo’, which itself is a clone of hardware devices like the Monome/Tenori-on. It’s a simple matrix sequencer with a built in synthesizer, but Stretta has also added MIDI out/sync/scaling to it. Unfortunately it’s only for Mac/OSX as a standalone app,… Read More »
The upcoming release of Blok Modular has been announced. Blok is a modular plugin for audio hosts (VSTi + Buzz formats with Effect versions planned for near future). It holds similarities to other synth building modulars like SynthEdit, SynthMaker, Reaktor and so on.. but where it breaks from those molds is its primary focus on… Read More »
