Virtual MIDIbox SEQ V4 for the iPad


via midibox.org

"Here a first impression of the virtual MIDIbox SEQ V4 for the iPad.

As you can see, there is some space for additional buttons or display functions.

Due to the delayed delivery in Europe I won’t be able to test and finish the emulation before june…

Currently I cannot estimate if the timings will be so stable like on a real MBSEQ, however together with the upcoming OSC option we will get at least a nice remote control."

Midi-Fighter_4 Song Juggle Experiment


YouTube via eangolden — April 16, 2010 — "In this video Ean Golden takes 4 songs with 4 cue points each and re-arranges them. The top row is the bass line (Tribe called quest) and the 2nd line is a drum sample. The third row is an acapella and the 4th is a noise tone. These samples and more info will be posted on Dj TechTools.com on Monday."

You could probably make it sound more like a tb, but the aim here is just to give an impression of the character of the filter. there's some matrix1000 stuff in the background (check the end for some nice filter trigger type sounds from there). thank u 4 listenin!"

YouTube via DJDJSMusic — April 16, 2010 — "Some more drum loops sliced into .9 sec beats. I've discovered that at 130 bmp .9 sec(the max length of a sample you can load into the Tenori-On) gives you two beats. So I've been slicing lots of drum loops for my next batch of songs."

LiveDrummer v000 for SEGA Master System YM2413


YouTube via littlescale — April 16, 2010 — "Last night I started working on a simple program for SEGA Master System that I hope to incorporate into live performances. The idea is to trigger drum sounds for each of the following buttons on the SEGA Master System joypad - up, down, left, right and button1. By holding down button 2 and pressing left / right / up or down, the user can select different drum sounds. The drums are synthesised by the YM2413. In this video, a delay pedal is used to start a loop."

Am To Be Part 4 - modular synth improv


YouTube via doctorvague — April 16, 2010 — "A little noisier one this time. I left the dynamics in so low parts are actually quieter and loud notes are louder. It's this new thing I just figured out. Using an Akai APC40 below camera firing Numerology presets created previously to a MOTM 650 Midi2CV converter for pitch. For triggers MOTU Volta to a DIY switcher upper right supplying different division rhythmic triggers to a Moon Modular trigger sequencer and a Modcan Digital delay. MegaOhm Delta Filter, Synthesizers.com State Variable Filter and MOTM 440 filter. Encore Electronics UEG, Synthesizers.com oscillators, envelope generators, mixer, VCA etc. Lots of partial cross-mod and partial soft-sync between the oscillators to get it to balance between notes and noise. Synthesizers.com excel at that stuff, especially the soft sync on the oscillator aid."

MOVEMENT DRUM MACHINE (DR55 like)


YouTube via popitem — April 16, 2010 — "Here 's a short clip using the Movement "Sequence Memory Rythm". This one got the same feature and sound almost like a dr55 .
Didn 't know much about this brand but after a quick search it seems that they also released some big drum computers in the early 80 's."

Unique Vintage Oberheim/Moog/ARP/Boss/MXR Mono-Synth


via this auction

"This unit was custom made for me by Dave Simmons in the mid 70's to cut down on "luggage" to and from sessions and believe me, this small box was a BIG help! and can be heard on countless Movies, TV programs, Jingles and albums from its creation up until I hung up my session spurs in the late 80's.

The box is made up of
some seriously major
Vintage Heavy Hitters
such as the
Boss CE1 Chorus/Ensemble
Roland AP.7 Jet Phaser
Boss GE-10 Graphic Equalizer
MXR Phase 90
MXR Flanger
MXR Noise Gate
MXR VCF

Last but by no means least,
A custom Mono-Synth that switches between ARP, Moog and Oberheim circuits for unbeatable flexibility."

Arp Avatar Synthesizer (Arp Odyssey without a keyboard)

via this auction

"very rare Arp Avatar synthesizer. There were only a few hundred of them made. This was made to use with guitar but works really well as a CV controlled synth. It's basically an Arp Odyssey without the keyboard... It was recently serviced by Arp repair guru Phil Cirocco and mechanically is working as it should. Servicing cost me about $1000 so I will start bidding there. See the .jpg of my invoice for the servicing for a complete list of fixes and modifications or go here for a more complete explanation of the upgrades and repair Phil does on Avatars

Also included is the Arp hexaphonic pickup that would be installed on your guitar. I do not have the cable that goes from the guitar to the Avatar however. I will include the Arp Avatar service manual and you should be able to make the cable yourself."

Yamaha CSY-1 Rare Vintage Analog Synth Organ

via this auction
"This is the rarely seen Yamaha CSY-1 synth/organ combination. Yamaha's first ever synth was the SY-1 introduced in 1974, they also decided to build the SY-1 into a 2 manual plus pedalboard type organ cabinet and that's what we have here, the CSY-1.

This really is a fun piece of kit with some great sounds, very expressive too thanks to Yamaha's aftertouch (amazing for 1974) which can be assigned to different parameters. Although a preset synth it's editable, so the presets are just a starting point for sound creation. The synth section is playable from the upper keyboard OR the bass pedalboard. It can be played solo or can be combined with the organ sounds/bass sounds. The CSY-1 has it's own built in amplification/speakers, spring reverb and even a real Leslie type rotary speaker, the synth section sounds great routed through this.

To get an idea of the sound go to YouTube and search for Yamaha SY-1 or SY-2 (the SY-2 is another model variation in a road case)

I must say, old Yamaha gear is incredibly reliable, superb build quality. Also, I read somewhere that the CSY-1 shares much of it's circuitry, particularly the filters, with the monosynth section of the mighty Yamaha GX-1 synth (introduced about a year later), there certainly are sound similarities if you check them both out."

ELECTRONDE (Theremin) of Martin Taubman


YouTube via copperleaves — April 16, 2010 — "This is an archival news film from 1938, showing Martin Taubman and his "Electronde". If you look carefully, you can catch an occasional glimpse of the audio cutoff cable that runs from Taubman's left hand (which he keeps at his side) to the Electronde cabinet. The volume for this device is controlled by a pedal placed under Taubman's right foot. The pad under his left foot is there only for balance so that one leg is not higher than the other.

According to the 1939 CYCLOPEDIA OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS (which was edited by, among others, Nicolas Slonimsky, a personal friend of Lev Termen, the inventor of the theremin), the absence of "attack" on the "space control" instruments was considered a serious limitation by many musicians of the 1930's. While a fast "dipping" motion of the volume hand of a thereminist can create the impression of attack, it is not instantaneous and cannot produce the true staccato of Taubman's ELECTRONDE.

You will notice that Taubman has placed his Electronde on top of his speaker, and turned the speaker so that it points to Taubman's right. This way, when he plays, his audience sees him only in profile and his left hand (which controls his audio cutoff switch) is hidden on the upstage side."

MFOS Ultimate + Expander - Overview


YouTube via Thalassa77 — April 16, 2010 — "http://www.facebook.com/switchedonsyn...
http://switchedonsynthesizer.blogspot...

This is part of a personal project that I've been working over last few weeks.The MFOS Ultimate is a DIY project. It's a semi-modular analog synthesizer with 3 VCOs, 2LFOS , one AR envelope , one VCA , Sample and Hold and one Low Pass filter ( 12db/oct ) and more...

The synth has a pre-wired signal and audio path but also has a lot of patch points that allow the user to create very complex sounds.

To expand de synth , MFOS has designed the Ultimate Expander, that adds new features not presented on the Ultimate synth : * ADSR envelope * Multimode filter with Low pass, Band Pass and High Pass response * Ring Modulator * CV interter * Envelope Follower * 4 channel mixer * Another VCA


This video shows only the main characteristics of this powerful synth, I will make more videos showing more complex and interesting sounds.

O-GAWA for iPad -The Future Beat Machine- DEMO


YouTube via yudoinc — April 16, 2010 — "O-Gawa (Ou-Gawa) is Yudo inc.'s first iPad musical application and fully makes use of the screen.

●What is O-Gawa?
It consists on touching objects synchronized with rhythm loops. Loops play back can also be designated.
The manipulation is really simple and is the best suited for real time performance.
You can also enjoy the visual effects made by the synchronized lines and shapes drawn with your finger on the top of the screen.
This "rhythm machine" using the iPad's environment has evolved into the best performance tool.
It is really helpful to make tracks using electronic and techno sounds."
