Brume’s 6-op FM synth through the global state-variable filter at full resonance. Brume is a multi-timbral touchscreen and MIDI controller operated music computer I am currently developing.
I’m designing a music computer you can make yourself out of affordable parts. It’s still months away from being ready but this is an example of its 6-operator FM synthesis engine. I’ve always wanted a DX7 that sounded more saturated and has a filter. It’s getting really good…
Brume is a standalone multi-timbral instrument purpose-built on Compute Module 5 with three synthesis engines, a 10-inch touchscreen, Lua script extendability, throwback Atari ST/GEM desktop UI and a sound engine inspired by 40 years of electronic music design. Buchla 259 and DPO-inspired complex oscillator, a harmonic oscillator landing somewhere between an 80s Kawai K5 and Verbos and a Serge-like timbral oscillator I’m not sure how to describe yet. It’s decidedly digital, but rooted in all the unique circuit design you know and love in the modular universe. Giving some thought to open sourcing this ala Norns. Collaborators welcome. Polyphonic playground for a monophonic sound palette… 🤔
“Controlled Substance” was a bit too drug-adjacent for Apple’s tastes 😂 so we’re now “Drop Forge”. Most of the big AUv3 hurdles cleared. Now rocking in iPad, Logic, and Ableton… #nosamples
Work in progress: Controlled Substance, pencil-expressive drum synth for iPad. 6 dimensions of Apple Pencil input (pressure, tilt, angle, rotation, position, exit velocity) turn every step into something unique. Fingers welcome, too. Hope to have a more interesting video soon.
