MiditinaXL - 48-button English Concertina Wireless MIDI Controller for the iPad


YouTube via tradlessons | September 10, 2010

"MiditinaXL is a WiFi-based wireless 48-button English Concertina MIDI control surface for the iPad.

The button layout is identical to the real instrument and, and the built-in note guide makes it easy to learn to play!

To play, simply touch the buttons. Buttons light up when playing.

Multiple buttons may be touched at the same time to play chords.

You can slide between the buttons.

Touch the '?' icon to show the note names for each button.

Touch the MIDI connector icon to show the MIDI controls.

You may select the volume, MIDI channel, attack velocity, and transposition (+/- 12 semitones).

MiditinaXL doesn't produce any sound on it own, it is designed for controlling hardware or software VST-style MIDI synthesizers via a WiFi connection to a Windows or Mac OS X based computer.

Multiple iPads can run MiditinaXL on the same wireless network, each sending messages on its own set of MIDI channels to the hardware or software synthesizer."

Modular synth with vintage drum machine brain


YouTube via bubagoo | September 10, 2010

"This is a few pieces of modular synth gear all hooked together. All analog circuitry. The star of this video is the drum brain chip. I just found an awesome old chip used in 1970s era home organs that adds drum beats like ROCK and BOSSA NOVA. It's called the LM8972. I wired it up and used the different rhythm outputs to trigger drum sounds and various envelopes.

"Modern Design, Modular Flexibility and the Heart of a Minimoog
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Minimoog with the Minimoog Voyager XL

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (September, 2010) – Designed in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Minimoog, the Minimoog Voyager XL is a sonic powerhouse that pays homage to important milestones in the Moog synthesizer legacy. It starts with the heart of a Minimoog Model D.

A host of features previously found only on massive modular synthesizers combined with state-of-the-art analog technology make it a sound design and control dream machine. Highlights include:

61-Note Velocity Sensitive Keyboard with After-Pressure

The audio is a bit low to start on this one but gets better.
"This is one of my songs that I adapted for live performance with my ipod. In this performance I am triggering the vocals using buttons within the OSCemote ipod app, then using the XYZ axis of the ipod to control reverb, delay and a filter on the frozen reverb. I am utilising OpenSoundControl data streaming technology to send the data from the ipod's accelerometer to my custom built PD patch.
All of the music is my own original music."

"PRISTINE Yamaha DX5 FM synth with 32 voices and 2 built in DX7's ! It shares more similarity however with the DX1 ....It is basically and more affordable version ( the DX5 still sold for £3000 new in 1985 !! YES ! that was the equivilent to at least £20,000 today ! )

...It is built like a tank to the highest standards....SOLID metal construction. They simply don't make synths of this quality anymore ! It has balanced studio outputs aswell as jack connections.... It has all the great circuitry and pure signal path of the DX1 !"

"The big star here is the filter; it is the same filter that was put in the mighty Yamaha GX-1 (One could debate as to it being Yamaha biggest, most wonderful synth ever; the only contender being the CS-80 but even then, the GX-1 was much more elaborate and expensive). Personally I'd describe this filter as sitting somewhere between the larger Yamaha CS units' filter and that of the MS-20 (But much more musical than the MS20's). It can get extremely resonate (it has both a low-pass AND high-pass filter, both featuring separate resonance controllers) making it great for squelchy basslines. There are lots of control options for this synth, it just takes a little time to wrap your head around what Yamaha thought was a good thing to name a control function and what it actually does. One could liken it to a 1 (maybe 2) VCO synth with 2 envelopes, a LFO, slide, VCF in, touch modulation, Pulsewidth control, etc. The unit also come with the original foot expression pedal for sweeping the filter, volune, etc, the metal stand legs (two poles are missing the plastic parts on the feet but I'm sure you can find those off an old desk or at Home Depot or something. I've never needed them), and the top of the case which latches on, protecting the synth for transport (as you can see the synth is built like a flight case). There is a section inside the top to store the legs as well."
