See this post for more details on the one of a kind floor system Jason is playing. This entire performance was done real time with guitar, bass and two 2-cabinet MMM’s run with their feet.
The following is another version of the piece performed by George Mattson and Jason Stiles. The main line in A minor is an old classical guitar piece by an unknown composer. If anyone does know, feel free to comment or shoot me an email - contact info is on the bottom right of the site.

"David Skinner with Q171 Quantizer and Q172 Quantizer Aid at the PNW Synth Gathering 2010. The Q171 provides three quantization channels. The Q172 adds a fourth channel with expanded features including CV to MIDI conversion."
Note the audio on this one is pretty low. Be sure to turn your volume back down after this one. I had to switch to my iPhone 4 as I ran out of space on my Canon T2i at this point. Unfortunately I missed the KORG MicroSample demo which was pretty fun. Remember these videos are meant to give you a feel for the event if you couldn't make it. Nothing is scripted. Just a bunch of people getting together to talk about and appreciate synths. See the pnw2010 label for all posts in the series.

Next Superbass 4.4 analog synth
via this auction"Next Superbass 4.4 analog synthesizer. This was part of the TB-303 clone wars of the late nineties manufactured by Music and More of Bavaria.The Superbass is a monophonic synth featuring selectable square and sawtooth waveforms with a sub-oscillator(similar to mc-202).It features master tune, and Env PWM. The filter consists of Cutoff resonance andEnv Mod.There is a VCA/VCF accent knob and Envelope decay .A distortion and volume knob conclude the front panel. 7 out of the 10 knobs transmit MIDI CC data for endless automation possibillities The back of the unit features MIDI in, out , thru a 1/4 inch out and a filter resonance trimmer pot. This piece can produce a wide range of sounds not just 303ish squelches, Because of the Sub oscillator I was able to get good low end basslines. There is also an Autoslide switch which sort of mimics the 303's glide but not quite as good.This synth is great by it's own but can also be very complimentary to another synth, being sequenced side by side for a Duophonic/Polyphonic type sound."

Galaxy of Terror (1981) - Barry Schrader and the Buchla 200
via Barry Schrader
"Shout Factory has just released a remastered version of Galaxy of Terror (1981) as part of their Roger Corman collection on both blu-ray and regular DVD. I did the music for this movie entirely on the Buchla 200, with the exceptions of the use of a soprano voice and a sitar in a few places. (Michael Hoenig is credited as "performer: synthesizer" on this film, but I can assure you that I did 100% of the music myself. Michael's credit may refer to sound effects, however, which were done separately; I honestly don't know.) This was one of several films I scored in the 70s and 80s, and, perhaps, the most unusual. Working with the Buchla Electric Music Box for scoring a commercial film wasn't easy as there was no traditional keyboard, and as all of the music is multitracked, sometimes using as many as sixteen tracks mixed down to the final master. Of course, there was neither computer-control nor digital recording of anything in those days, and the fact that everything had to be done within a roughly three-week time span make working very difficult. There was no way that I could compose in the manner I was used to, which is rather slowly, as every day was a deadline for something. The music was composed in CalArts' studio B303, watching the work prints of the film on a 35mm moviola as I got them from the studio. The synth setup I used was essentially the same as for Lost Atlantis, with a large Buchla 200 system and the Fortune Modules. The film hasn't been available in the U.S. for many years, but, even so, it's achieved a sort of cult status, partially for some truly outrageous scenes which almost got the film an MPAA "X" rating. I've been asked several times about releasing the music from the film, but, of course, this is impossible for me to do: I don't own the music, and all of the original masters were delivered to the studio for transfer. When they were cleaning up the film for this new release, Shout Factory contacted me and I gave them all of the copies of cues that I had left, and, now, I have no copies of any music from this film. Perhaps that's best, though, as I never thought of any of the music I did for Galaxy of Terror as having much relevance away from the film. The new release includes a documentary on the making of Galaxy of Terror which has new interviews with myself and other cast and crew members."Update: You can find Galaxy of Terror on Amazon
and eBay.

The Pro Synth is 8-voice polyphonic with just a stereo output pair, no headphone socket, no effects, and no sampled waveforms. A simple multitimbral implementation allows up to eight different sounds to be driven from their respective MIDI channels"
The great void
YouTube via attorks | July 27, 2010
"This afternoon I was watching two videos on the MATRIXSYNTH website were John Bowen demonstrates his Solaris prototype on the PNW Synth Gathering 2010 [link]. Seems like a very powerful machine but it is not likely that I can afford one. After seeing that I thought, my Waldorf Q Keyboard can't do all that but it can do some. So I ended up programming this sound and sequence which I liked a lot and I decided to video it. Connected the MIDI out of the Q to the Doepfer MAQ16/3 to be able to add synchronized sequences from the MAQ16/3 and the Synthesizers.com Q960. Row 1 of the MAQ16/3 has a double-time 8-step sequence driving the self-built Modular. The gate output of row 3 of the MAQ16/3 shifts the Q960 which has sequences on row 1 and 3 driving the Synthesizers.com Modular. I use the A, B, C and D slots of the Clavia Nord Lead 1 to vary the sounds of the solo's. Slot D contains a kind of FM'ed strings sound. The Roland XP-80 also does a solo voice.
This video show the first 10 minutes of a 30 minute video. You can see/hear/download the video and music from my website soon."

Cellular AutoMidi - Generative Audio Flash AIR App
Cellular AutoMidi - Generative Audio Flash AIR App from Lawrie Cape on Vimeo.
"Presenting my latest Flash Music Toy App Thing -
Cellular AutoMidi!
For more info and to download the App visit - lawriecape.co.uk/theblog/?p=735
Basically - each cell can be alive or dead. Once in a generation, each cell looks at it's surrounding cells, and dies if it is lonely or overcrowded. If a dead cell has an optimum amount of neighbors, it will come to life! Each generation, all the cells which have come to life will sound a note. The notes are assigned based on the cell's y position, and are all in the pentatonic scale.
There's a few controls at the bottom which change how things work too.
Start/Stop - Starts/Stops the automation.
Load - Loads a pattern from the text box.
Export - Exports the current pattern to the clipboard. You can send it to friends, or save it for later, then load in with the load button.
Clear down - Stop and clear the current pattern.
Law Mode - An error when coding the cell rules gave this other odd mode.
Skip Audio - Just show the cell animations.
Sing Dead - Instead of singing the recently revived notes, sing for the recently deceased.
Note duration - Alter the system speed.
Also, along the top there are banks of preset systems. Click play to start a saved pattern, and click assign to assign the pattern currently displayed to that button. You can also trigger each pattern with the keyboard keys 1-8.
When you press Export, your pattern is automatically copied to the clipboard, so you can save it, or share it with people. Here's a pattern I made - you can load it by pasting it into the load box, and pressing Load!
The app is fully compatible with Flash Midi Server (my Flash to MIDI audio interface app) - it checks to see if it is running when the app is launched. If it's not, then it uses fancy Flash Player 10 dynamic audio! I'm hoping to roll this out to the Flash Midi Server class soon - so any app which tried to access the midi server and fails, will use the dynamic audio as a backup. I'll keep you posted!

Flash Midi Server - Sonar reproduction. from Lawrie Cape on Vimeo.
"I just watched the spectacular "Sonar" by Renaud Hallée - vimeo.com/5324878 [previously posted]
A piece he describes as "Rhythmic cycle w/ abstract animation. Basic keyframe animation using flash, without scripting."
Seeing as I'd just made a Flash based Midi Server for playing music through Flash, I thought I'd try and reproduce the basic elements of it - but using scripting.
This is my homage to Sonar - Basic scripting in Flash, using FlashMidiServer and FruityLoops for dynamic audio.
More info on Flash Midi Server at - LawrieCape.co.uk/theblog"
Flash Midi Server - Processing + Flash + Webcam Instrument from Lawrie Cape on Vimeo.
"I've just finished the first prototype of a project I've been working on - a processing based app which lets Flash/Air apps send midi (notes and CC) data, and I've put together a video showing an early app dermo.
The demo shows the Processing based Midi server (blue app in the bottom right), and also a Flash Webcam based synesthesia type audio tool. The Flash app takes still images from a webcam, and analysies them for 4 colours within them. These colours are then mapped to a range of notes, so for example, a white image will send a high note, whilst a black image will send a low note. These notes can then be played back by sending out Midi data, and the corresponding images are displayed.
As an extra feature - the "activty level" (amount of movement) in the webcam can be monitored, and sent as CC data.
Most of the sounds coming out of this demo are pretty nasty, but it shows the basic idea of the Flash Midi Server - which could be used in loads of different ways. Eventually I'd like to release a suite of Air apps - interective and generative music toys, using various Flash capabilities - and invite other people to contribute their own.
Hopefully there'll be some more polished versions coming soon.
More info coming soon at LawrieCape.co.uk/theblog
Cheers.
Lawrie."

Casio RZ-1 Drum Machine Circuit Bent
via this auctionvideos here
"Has a 24 point RCA patch bay that short circuits the eprom chips. The different chips are for certain samples, so some patches effect only certain sounds. You can patch with in the chips and chip to chip. In addition to the patch bay there are four input / output on/off switch section with toggle switches and momentary buttons. If you know the voltages are orrect to can patch into other cuircit bent items. For instance, I have two RZ-1s and have patched them together. I've also done this with some other small keyboards.
There is now a switch to bypass the RZ-1s main timing crystals with two getlofi 1799 precision oscillators to allow for some great pitch control.
I've added 10k pots on the top to easier access the samples tone controls. Costume wood panels. A bunch of patch cables."

"This is a demo of Electrify for the iPad controlled by an APC 40 from AKAI.
Every function of Electrify (even the step parameters) can be controlled by the APC 40 making the APC 40 a real Groovebox with step sequencer and clip matrix! No need to touch the iPad's display It's just awesome to play around with it!
What do you need for that? a Midi Interface (iConnectMidi by iConnectivity when it's released eventually) for connecting your iPad and the APC 40.
I use the MidiMobilizer, a USB-Midi Converter and Bome Midi Translator for testing.
This feature will be released in some weeks with an update for Electrify for free. And the best: it will work with your iPhone 4, too!
