Mogees Vibration Sensor Lets You Use Anything As A Musical Instrument

UK-based Mogees shared a new preview video for their Mogees Vibration Sensor kit, which lets you use just about anything as a musical instrument. Mogees works by combining a vibration sensor with music software that translates the vibrations of objects into expressive synthesized sound. It also can be used to generate MIDI, letting you turn just about anything… Read More Mogees Vibration Sensor Lets You Use Anything As A Musical Instrument

Mutable Instruments Rings Brings Physical Modeling Synthesis To Euro Systems

The Mutable Instruments Rings module brings physical modeling synthesis to Eurorack systems. Rings focuses on the key ingredient, the resonator, ready to be excited by envelope clicks, trigger pulses, granular noise or any other audio source produced by the rest of your system. Three families of vibrating structures are simulated by the module, with CV… Read More Mutable Instruments Rings Brings Physical Modeling Synthesis To Euro Systems

SpringSound For iOS Updated With Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression

Developer Christophe Duquesne has released version 2 of SpringSound – a physical-modeling audio synthesizer. Version 2 adds support for Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression (MPE) and more. MPE support means that you can use modern MIDI controllers that allow for continuous control over the expression (pitch bend, volume, timbre, etc) of each individual note that you play. 

SpringSound Physical Modeling Synthesizer For iOS

Anckorage Spring has introduced SpringSound, a new physical-modeling synthesizer for iOS. SpringSound produces sounds by simulating interactions and vibrations of a set of activators, and masses connected to springs. The model offers detailed control of an array of features including: gravity bouncing fluid and static friction, mechanical limits, non-linear functions, and more. It can be used… Read More SpringSound Physical Modeling Synthesizer For iOS

Madrona Labs Debuts Kaivo, Physical Modeling Synthesizer

Madrona Labs has released Kaivo, a semi-modular software synthesizer that combines two ways of making sound: granular synthesis and physical modeling. Developer Randy Jones says: “Today we release Kaivo, our new software synthesizer. ‘Kaivo’ is Finnish for ‘well,’ as in, a deep well of sounds, and I’ve been working on deepening that well over the… Read More Madrona Labs Debuts Kaivo, Physical Modeling Synthesizer

Applied Acoustics Systems Chromaphone Review

Ronnie Rekkerd shared his thoughts today on Applied Acoustics Systems’ Chromaphone physical modeling synthesizer: With its physical modeling, Chromaphone produces wonderfully dynamic, expressive sounds. Experimenting pays off, as just the turn of a knob or two can yield completely different, unique sounds. Needless to say, Chromaphone is a fantastic synthesizer for cinematic, soundtrack type works.… Read More Applied Acoustics Systems Chromaphone Review
