At Tsugi, we love synthesizers, and since today is 03/03, we decided to pay homage to the famous Roland TB-303 bass line that became such an integral part of many electronic music genres. So, we created a rough emulation of the TB-303 in the patching environment of GameSynth. First, let’s check out how it sounds!

We are thrilled to announce the release of new versions for both DSP Motion and DSP Action. They now support video playback, synchronized with your drawing. This is a feature that many of you requested, and which makes the tool an absolute blast to design sounds to picture! As always, the updates are free, downloadable from the DSP Motion and DSP Action pages.

DSP Action allows you to literally draw sounds with your mouse or graphic tablet. In addition to the movements and speed of the mouse or stylus, where you draw is equally important.Indeed, many of the sound synthesizers in DSP Action add another layer of interaction by displaying generative graphics that serve as sound triggers. In this post, we will examine the various types of generative backgrounds available in DSP Action, and how they allow you to generate interesting sound variations.
