Hello Pulsarians,

John Amolov made some pretty soundexamples for COS and VOID. I know, this was posted already, but in the middle of any thread. I will be sure, that this information will reach you, because a lot of people asked me for soundexamples - now, here we go !
Regarding the sounds and pictures of COS and VOID please check out the links below.

From John :
"I see that summer makes you think more of Greece's beaches than it's synthesizers!
Don't blame you cause here everyday we are braking a new record of high temperatures . 43-46 C. Really hot!
Well let me give some esoteric details about the synths (also please check the sound examples):
first of all VOID matrix. It is trully flexible. It can let you for example modulate a single parameter (like filter) with all available modulators (11) with different amounts. It doesn't "occupy" the destinations. It is a flexible multi mix with dynamic DSP loading. It allows any 18 parralel modulations. Also you can modulate lfo1 rate with lfo2 and then lfo 2 with lfo 1 and these kind of feedback modulations without any restriction about available source and dest. (trust me it's not something you can "patch" easily in modular! Not even hard-ily).

COS morph function: It is really fabulus. That is the most advanced function to have exact control in timbre creation. I think every synth from now on should have that function.
COS modulation: If someone know the "original" he must have spotted that the modulators can only modulate a maximum of 2 destinations in parralel. And with one amount for both. That don't implies to COS. Each modulator source (2 lfo's and the AD env) can modulate 9 destinations in parralel with different amounts which are "morphable".
Filters: Their is a great variety of filters in both synths. In VOID flexor shapers and overdrive modules allow for a wide range of filter shaping.
In COS there are also some new distortion shapers (new atoms) that further enrich the timbre creation.
There is a lot work behind these synths and a big synth programming experience. "

Thanks Brosky,
These look very nice. I especially want COSM.

Don't be discouraged if sales aren't large right away. Flexor III's release was pretty hard to compete with.

keys received this very morning ! Thanks Ralf for your fast answer... I really appreciate your presets John that shows immediatly the range of sounds that can be created ; also a good starting point for me ... I also really appreciate the knobs with the red lights of the COS which is very confortable ... As an information (I have 21 dsp), the COS uses 3 yellow sticks (dsp load) whereas Minimax needs 2, so just a little more dsp use.

I will try these toys this week-end !

wondering if you can get an 8 note poly on this one, as flexor is a little difficult to get hight poly for oby type patches, ...i heard the old Polymoog had a way to get alot of poly by the way the osc was postioned (not excactly sure)

are the basskicks made with COSM too?

If you are talking about the demo song no. It's Live's sampler. But COS is a great kick creation synthesizer. It includes about 30 kick presets.

still a demo would be nice to check out.

wired - polymoogs used 'paraphonic' divide-down oscillator technology, similar to that used in string ensemble synths like the ARP Omni/solina etc.

I believe this type of osc trick is used in Creamware B4000 (hammond emu).

It's not really suitable for a proper synthesis voice architecture.

good to know
thankx

Dear John Amolov,
A very convincing demo thank you. That synth will be my next target in July. Welcome aboard sir.

Give Us The Body Of Ralf,

I 'd like to announce you that there is a small modification on VOID's surface. That was so to avoid any conflict with Access cause i have used some elements from their interface on the first release. It's changed now and i find it cute also. (Sorry i don't know how to upload the pic so to check it here on Z..)
The new device and manuals are going to be replaced in about 2-3 days.

Also there are going to be demo devices soon so to actually check the synthesizers and sounds provided.

Cheers,
John

thank you john ! i will download it as soon as it is available (i will have the impresion to have a new one !). i must admit i am increasingly impressed by your synths... they sound very good and are very confortable in use... I can spend hours ... thank you for the presets too !

or just attach the pictures.....

i see a small (pixel?) white point on the pots;
my monitor . . eyes ?
or is there a meaning?
dont take it as critic i find the gui great;

good vibes from vienna

educated guess; reflection from a light during rendering. so it sort of has a meaning

I see some knobs there on that surface, what is wrong...

I post the new VOID surface jpeg to check it. The device will be uploaded soon.

About the white pixel problem: I 'll give a clue, it's a hidden path that leads to the mystic world of Morph function.

since you're at it, you may fix the HiDamb into HiDamp
(I'm not counting peas - I just happen to notice such stuff)

cheers, Tom

COS is now on my wish list. New synth development is always appreciated
