Featuring many synthesis techniques, a great selection of filters, a flexible modulation engine, a smorgasbord of effects, and modern features like MPE, microtuning (with MTS-ESP support!), and comprehensive Open Sound Control (OSC) support.
Thanks to the generosity of @Kurasu (owner of Vember Audio), Surge has been open sourced and lives on GitHub. This page you're reading right now. Yup! This one right here. It's a part of the surge-synthesizer GitHub project.
Open-source additions to our filter algorithms include: K35 and Diode Ladder filter types from Odin 2 synthesizer, 12 and 24 dB/oct multimode filters from OB-Xd, and weird but fascinating Cutoff Warp, Resonance Warp and Tri-Pole filters by Jatin Chowdhury!
LFO shapes consist of 7 deformable LFO waveforms, step sequencer, a fully-fledged multi-segment envelope generator (MSEG) with various curves and up to 128 nodes, and last but not the least - a formula modulator which utilizes Lua scripting language to provide completely custom modulator output.
The MRSE is designed to examine and evaluate the ability of HCCs and other stakeholders to support medical surge. Placing stress on the health system is important for testing current response systems, identifying gaps in preparedness, and informing improvement planning.
Your feedback has been critical to the development of the MRSE. Based on the comments and lessons learned this year, updates have been made to the MRSE to include the creation of a Real-World Incident Reporting and Evaluation Tool for HCCs to use if they choose to use a real-world incident in lieu of the exercise. Both the Exercise Tool and Real-World Tool are available for download in the Coalition Assessment Tool. If you are unable to download the Exercise Tool, please request a copy via email from your Field Project Officer. Please note that if HCCs opt to use a real-world incident for the MRSE, the questionnaire on the first tab of the Real-World Incident Reporting and Evaluation Tool must be submitted to the recipient and Field Project Officer for review and approval, to determine that the event meets the minimum MRSE requirements.
The Patient Surge Summary table in both the MRSE Exercise Planning and Evaluation Tool and the Real-World Incident Reporting and Evaluation Tool has been pared down to reduce data collection burden for Performance Measure 19. In the coming months, the MRSE support team is working to create a MRSE Resource Library that will provide additional materials to aid health care coalitions with planning and execution of the MRSE. Please continue to share your feedback with our team via the MRSE mailbox: MR...@hhs.gov.

Building on these successful efforts, the CHP will conduct additional unannounced surge operations alongside local law enforcement agencies in high-crime areas in the East Bay to aggressively seek out and apprehend those engaged in criminal activity. In addition to these surge operations, the CHP continues to have an expanded and visible presence in Oakland focused on high-visibility enforcement to deter, investigate, and respond to criminal activity. The CHP currently has 72 officers assigned to the greater Oakland area assisting in this role.
Between February 5 and February 9, 2024, the CHP conducted a temporary surge operation involving 120 CHP officers working alongside local allied partners including the Oakland Police Department. As it maintains an increased presence in Oakland and the East Bay, the CHP will conduct additional unannounced surge operations alongside local law enforcement agencies in high-crime areas in the East Bay to aggressively seek out and apprehend those engaged in criminal activity.
INVESTING IN OAKLAND:
In a close partnership between the Legislature and the Governor, the state has made substantial investments in Oakland and the larger East Bay region to improve the health, safety, and well-being of the community:
Surge Protector Powercore provides protection from electrical surge transients coupled on L, N, G, CKDMX data, 4-wire cables of Color Kinetics Powercore luminaires. With LED indicators inside-the-box, Surge Protector Powercore offers visual confirmation of surge protection for both power and data lines. Surge Protector Powercore is intended for use as part of a properly grounded surge protection system.
The PG21 metric or 3/4 NPT entries in this time-tested IP66 rated enclosure allow easy conduit connections, and the clearly labelled terminal blocks and tethered cover make installations quick and simple.

Measurements: Each hospital-month was stratified by percentile rank on a surge index (a severity-weighted measure of COVID-19 caseload relative to pre-COVID-19 bed capacity). The effect of surge index on risk-adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of in-hospital mortality or discharge to hospice was calculated using hierarchical modeling; interaction by surge attributes was assessed.
Conclusion: Despite improvements in COVID-19 survival between March and August 2020, surges in hospital COVID-19 caseload remained detrimental to survival and potentially eroded benefits gained from emerging treatments. Bolstering preventive measures and supporting surging hospitals will save many lives.
Primary funding source: Intramural Research Program of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the National Cancer Institute.
(2) PPE surge plan. The plan shall explain how the hospital will increase its supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for use in a pandemic to achieve continuous maintenance of its required 60-day supply of PPE, pursuant to section 405.11(g) of this Title. The plan shall list the contracted entities or other supply chain agreements executed by the hospital. Such plan shall further include, as appropriate, how the hospital will repurpose existing equipment, replenish the inventory from other areas of the health system, and establish cooperative agreements to obtain PPE to accommodate supply chain interruptions. A PPE surge plan may provide for hospital utilization of some, but not all, of the stockpile reserves during a State disaster emergency, provided that within 30 days of the end of the State disaster emergency, the stockpile reserve is fully restored.
(3) Mass casualty plan. The plan shall explain how the hospital will receive and treat mass casualty victims, in the event of a secondary disaster arising from the interruption of normal services resulting from an epidemic, earthquake, flood, bomb threat, chemical spills, strike, interruption of utility services, nuclear accidents and similar occurrences, while addressing the continued need for surge capacity for the underlying state disaster emergency declaration.
(5) Capital plan. The plan shall explain how the hospital shall ensure continuous operation of facilities and access to utilities, materials, electronic devices, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and communication systems. The plan shall ensure that the hospital routinely performs all required maintenance and peak load testing of its infrastructure systems, including: electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), and oxygen supply.
(b) The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the hospital, or system, if authorized by the Commissioner to report on a system-wide basis, shall certify to the review and approval of the plan, including an attestation that it can be implemented and achieved in the event of a declared disaster emergency. The CEO shall be responsible for ensuring that the plan is reviewed and updated, as necessary, periodically as specified by the Commissioner and shall re-certify that it is able to be implemented and achieved upon each review.
(c) The Department may require the hospital to submit its disaster emergency response plan and history of semi-annual certifications for review, and may require the hospital to make such amendments to the plan as the Commissioner deems appropriate, to ensure that the plan will achieve the requirements established in subdivision (a) of this section, including increases in bed capacity.
(1) PPE. Every hospital shall, at all times, continue to maintain the required 60-day supply of PPE appropriate for use in a disaster emergency including a pandemic, pursuant to section 405.11(g) of this Title.
(2) Information technology. Every hospital shall ensure that non-essential staff who are capable of working remotely in the event of an emergency are equipped and trained to do so, and that infrastructure is in place to allow for the repurposing of existing workspaces as needed when activating the Surge and Flex System.
Pediatric surge is unique due to the specialized equipment and resources needed for pediatric patients. MDH has identified the need for more pediatric education, training, and a Minnesota Pediatric Surge Plan to ensure our state is capable of responding to a statewide pediatric surge disaster.
