Gunnar Ekornås has released version 1.5 of Memorymoon, based on the Memorymoog, and version 1.1 of Prophet 5 inspired synthesizer Messiah.

Changes in Memorymoon v1.5

• New GUI keyboard system developed by Andy Medforth. It saves CPU and loading times.
• New filter model for filter2, both filters are now 64 bit.
• Less CPU. Overall CPU for the synth should be 5-6% faster than the 1.4 version.
• Cleaner filter sound and filter2 has improved algorithm for controlling self-oscillation level.
• Filter2: 6 new modes for FM (audio rate modulation), 3 chain modes and 3 ladder modes.
• Filter modelling means better distortion and +/- 5% variations in all vital components.
• Midi learn by right clicking any controls, stored in patches/banks.
• Dual core problem solved.
• New glide system, works like the original.
• LCD now shows patch name, and you can click on the name and select patches from a list. Arrows to select patch up/down and LCD letters have more red colour.
• Clicks when changing presets improved. For perfect patch change use the red arrows.
• Incoming program change from MIDI should work perfect now.
• Reduced note stealing clicks, 3 hidden voices makes note stealing less audible.
• Voicecard drift: Independent pitch drift for osc1 and osc2. The detuning between osc1 and osc2 will be different for each voicecard.
• New soundfont player with high quality zinc conversion possible. (“CPU” button).
• New GUI knob and new GUI wheels.

Changes in Messiah v1.1

• New factory bank with 34 new patches, including 13 new patches from Grzegorz Bartoszek.
• The extra bank is now a full bank with 128 patches.
• New GUI keyboard system developed by Andy Medforth. It saves CPU and loading times.
• Midi learn by right clicking any controls, stored in patches/banks.
• Dual core problem solved.,/li>
• Lower static CPU (when the synth is not played).
• LCD now shows patch name, and you can click on the name and select patches from a list. Arrows to select patch up/down.
• Clicks when changing presets improved. For perfect patch change use the red arrows.
• Incoming program change from MIDI should work perfect now.
• Reduced note stealing clicks, 3 hidden voices makes note stealing less audible.
• New GUI knob and background holes for the GUI wheels.

Note: When importing old banks in Memorymoon and Messiah there will be a “205 parameters could not be loaded” error message. This is due to a cleanup in the patch.mem, with 205 parameters having been deleted for the new GUI keyboard system developed by Andy Medforth. It saves CPU and loading times.

Memorymoon and Messiah are available as VST instruments for Windows PC for $30 USD each, or together in a bundle for $40 USD.

Gunnar Ekornås (from Voltkitchen) has released version 1.0 of Messiah, a Prophet 5 inspired VSTi synth made with SynthEdit.

Messiah features

• Three innovative oscillators:
  1. Morph oscillator with 4 waveforms.
  2. Unison oscillator with 7 voices (and you can put this oscillator into 5 voice unison for 35 voices).
  3. Flexi oscillator that consist of 2 seperate waves that can perform PWM, ring mod. and phase distortion with very low CPU.
• Advanced gate with controls for cutoff and harmonics (overtones) for all 16 steps.

Messiah is available for Windows PC and costs $40 USD.

Gunnar has also updated the Memorymoog-like synth Memorymoon to version 1.4.

Memorymoon v1.4 changes

• CPU improvements in pitch knobs, midi split system, and wav player.
• Possible to erease uploaded sample in wav-player.
• 2X oversampling in the distortion.
• High-cut filter (Speaker emulator) in the distortion.
• Total overhaul of all knobs and buttons for better recall.
• Some new sounds by Gunnar Ekornås and Peter Werner.
• Faster chorus/phaser (and fixed clicks in phaser).
• LCD read-readout completed for the whole edit page.
• Logic fix in the mono/poly system to prevent unison voices in poly mode.
• Solved loading problem with cutoff in unison mode.
• New algorithm to control filter2 self oscillation level.

Memorymoon is also available for Windows PC and costs $30 USD.
