Ray Wilson’s Music From Outer Space has introduced the Sound Lab Ultimate, an advanced three-vco monosynth.
Description:
If you’ve always wanted to build your own analog electronic music synthesizer, the MFOS Sound Lab Ultimate may well be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. The MFOS Sound Lab Ultimate is a completely new single board mono-synth from MFOS with the sickest set of features you’ll find on one PC board:
- Three Musically Accurate VCOs (sawtooth and variable width rectangular wave forms, pulse width modulation, hard-sync, log and linear CV inputs)
- VCOs provide plenty of tracking range. Listen to the samples below.
- White Noise Generator
- Active Mixer (for VCOs, noise and external input)
- Voltage Controlled LP Filter (12db/Oct doubles as a sine wave oscillator)
- Voltage Controlled Amplifier (log response)
- Attack Release Envelope Generator
- Two Low Frequency Oscillators (square, ramp, tri and sawtooth waveforms)
- Repeat Gate Generator (doubles as another square wave LFO)
- Sample & Hold (with variable sample rate and glide)
- Attenuator Bank (for an infinite variety of modulation patches)
- Patch Panel Design (provides infinitely variable combinations of sounds)
- Professionally machined panels and PC Boards available from MFOS
- Sound Lab ULTIMATE “Expander” already on the drawing board.
You can preview the sound of the Sound Lab Ultimate below. More details and demos are available at the MFOS stie.

Filed under: Computer Hardware, Electronic Instruments, MIDI ControllersSpikenzie’s PolyPhonic SQ is a 64 button, wireless – Bluetooth, MIDI controller with a steampunk twist.
The controller is based on the Project 64 Button board hardware, an Arduino and serial to MIDI software from SpikenzieLabs. It is fully polyphonic – any number of keys may be pressed at the same time and notes are sustained as long as the keys are pressed.
It uses a new version of the SpikenzieLabs Serial – MIDI Converter software which also allows you to select the baud rate of your serial port. (The new version will be available for download next week.)
Note: “It works equally well with a USB cable but the bluetooth is sort of fun.”

The Quintrigger, by Mr.Ugly, is an interesting suitcase style, steampunk-esque noise machine:
It’s a quintoscillator feeding into a Hex-Schmitt Trigger that I fed back into itself. The first of many projects where I design something from scratch then circuit bend the shit out of it. The quintoscillator triggers the Schmitt Trigger, then the Schmitt Trigger feeds back into itself via all of those lovely switches! Each switch has 3 positions of modulation, so the number of drone combinations is amazing! And there’s 4 separate outputs. I think that if each output was run through effects into a mixer, you could create some pretty intense walls of symphatic drone. And it all runs off a 9V adapter.
Have fun getting this through TSA inspections!
