Novation Circuit Synth Bank SYSEX Patch Dump Utility v1.0
Source code: here 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… Read More »
Programming Synthesizers (Soundforum Synth)
Wizoo was founded in 1997 by author, sound designer, and studio musician Peter Gorges. His publication included online downloads / pdf copies, and software included in the instructions. “Programming Synthesizers” includes the Soundforum synth (early NI) that has basically disappeared off the face of the planet. You can find it on Peter’s archive here: Wizoo Books… Read More »
Microbrute sequences
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 »

[BLOK] Polyphonic VU
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:
Obo matrix sequencer, standalone
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 »
Blok Modular (example patch/nfo)
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 »
PyBuzz scripts (various)
I’ve put together a collection of some PyBuzz scripts I have created over the past few years (most from 2005-2006). A few others are included as well by Dukajoe (PyDrum) and Kazuya. One or two the scripts might not work in the latest version of PyBuzz, but the code is still relevant so I’ve included everything… Read More »
SynC Modular now offically free
SynC Modular, the precusory application that lead to Native Instrument’s Reaktor, is now offically free (ahem, finally). Nowadays there are a large collection of modern applications that can do what it does, however.. the aged app presents a somewhat unique tonal quality (thanks to dated dsp no doubt, aimed @ performance marks for early 2000’s pcs) and… Read More »
