Free Behringer CZ-1 Mini Editor


https://www.behringer-cz1-editor.co.uk/ 

This editor has taken me forever to complete! It's by far and away the most advanced one I've built yet, featuring 90 or so sliders.  I'd had no experience with Phase Distortion Synthesis before starting this project, so it meant reading a few books and watching hours of you tube videos.  There's bound to be a few bugs, but it sure beats using the single button on the hardware to program the unit. 

The UI has also been designed to shed some light on how to program it, with panels being highlighted when accessible, and animations to convey what is being changed.  Hopefully it should help somebody.  Every control has it's function listed, you just need to hover the mouse over it.

Here's a short youtube video going over some of the features.

Free Behringer UB-1 Micro Editor

I've made another free online midi editor, this time for the Behringer UB-1 micro synth.  My UB-1 was meant to have been delivered back in January, but it's unfortunately been delayed for months now.  Anyway, I used the manual to get all of the MIDI CC data, and remapped it all from my original JT4000m editor.  It's currently untested, but when my unit arrives, I'll confirm it's correctly working.

Free Behringer JT Mini Editor

My Behringer JT Mini Editor is now available for free.  I'd originally brought the JT4000m synth and had fun making an editor for that, so I bought a few more to play around with.  I probably should've read the manual before ordering though, because the JT Mini doesn't have that many accessible midi CC controls.  Oh well! I made it anyway, so hopefully it might be of some use to somebody.

Super Saw Synth created in Klang Studio


I recently took the Basic Audio Programming course offered by PointBlank, and https://www.theaudioprogrammer.com/ and this was my version of the Super Saw Synth. It was created using Klang Studio, using seven detuned SAW waves. The course is only about 4 hours long but it serves as a great intro into DSP principles. I can only recommend.

I'm also currently going through the Audio Programmer / Matthijs Hollemans books: Creating Synthesizer Plug-Ins with C++ and JUCE, and The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Audio Plug-in Development. I'm only half way through the plugin book, but it's been really great so far, a lot less academic (aka 'hard') and much more hands on learning than the Will Pirkle books (Designing Audio Effect Plugins & Designing Software Synthesizer Plugins).

VR Demo - Medical Training Scene


I put together this little demo over the weekend so it's a little bit rough, but it gets the basic point across.  There's loads more that could've been added, like smooth transitions when the text boxes open, highlighting outlines of selected objects, sounds to indicate hover activity etc, but I ran out of time.

I'd have really liked to add physics to the skeleton bones and made it interactable, but alas...

No lights are baked, the lighting is live running with a high FPS on a mobile RTX 3060.  The screen recording doesn't really do it justice.

Built using Unity, VR Interaction framework and a few custom scripts for the interactions.

My Game Is Now Available



My little game ('Super Bubs Adventure') that I've been working on over the last few months is finally available on the Google Play Store. 

It's completely free, and should take you about an hour to complete.  Have fun and happy new year :-)

Free Behringer JT4000M Programmer

Hey All, I've just finished making my JT4000M Programmer which is available for free online. Hopefully it should make creating new sounds on the thing a little bit more fun than going through the menus!

It's been tested running on Chrome and Android, hopefully it should work on most other platforms (although Safari doesn't support MIDI I believe).  

If you create a sound you want to save, just press down on the 'Select' pot, and it'll overwrite the currently selected sound.

Try it here

Cheers!
