TEControl Breath Controller Review

"Torley has his breath taken away by the TEControl USB-MIDI Breath Controller, buy it here: » http://bit.ly/V5ONOf

▓▒░ OFFICIAL BLURB ░▒▓

We have received numerous requests from musicians and composers to develop a replacement for Yamaha's breath controller BC3A.

The result is the MIDI Breath Controller, which has the same function as a combination of the BC3A and the "MIDI solution" converter box but with a USB interface instead of the older standard DIN connector.

The MIDI Breath Controller uses a novel signal processing algorithm to transform the breath pressure signal to MIDI cc messages that let you add realistic expression to your performance. This is extremely useful for live performance with synthesizers and DAW's. It gives you excellent control of pitch, expression, velocity cross-fade etc... of soft synths and sample libraries

PROJECT PRESET: Eclipse Sound Age of Transitions for Native Instruments Massive

YouTube Published on Jul 10, 2012 by Torley

"Torley plays Eclipse Sound - Age of Transitions » http://bit.ly/L8HlIs


▓▒░ OFFICIAL BLURB ░▒▓

Age of Transitions is a collection of 64 EXCELLENT ambient, filmscore and new age style patches by Eclipse Sound, containing moody pads, ethereal bells and percussion, and sublime fantasy woodwind instruments. Please note that this soundset is available in NMSV format only.


▓▒░ ABOUT PROJECT PRESET ░▒▓

Torley believes an instrument should be awesomely playable from the start, and uses PROJECT PRESET to highlight the craft of instrument + sound designers. It also serves the dual purpose of recording my joy for electronic music during this phase of my life.

Rules:

1. Never skip a sound within the focused area. (Exceptions include template setups and other "specialty banks".)
2. Play sounds you have never heard before, so your first reactions are documented on camera. (Exception: practice/warmup to gain familiarity with a new tool.)
3. Only feature tools you have or will use in actual productions to set a positive example for the electronic music community. Thinking you can do something is trumped by actually doing it every time.

Spectrasonics Announce Winners in "OMG-1 Contest"

"BURBANK, CALIF -- SEPTEMBER 15, 2011 -- Spectrasonics today announced the winners of their worldwide "OMG-1 Contest." Over 400 entries for the contest were submitted from 68 different countries, with a very wide diversity of musical styles. The goal for each contestant was to use the sounds from the Bob Moog Tribute Library in a creative and inspiring way. The company reports that the Contest and the Library have been able to raise record-breaking funds for the Bob Moog Foundation to support their innovative projects.

Eric Persing, Spectrasonics Creative Director and Founder, said, "With the hundreds of creative entries from around the world, the OMG-1 Contest was an incredible success! The overall quality of all the entries was so much higher than we expected, it was extremely difficult to choose the winners."

The Grand Prize of Persing's custom-built OMG-1 synthesizer has been awarded to Torley Wong of Washington State [matrix edit: Torley's been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH a number of times] , who submitted an entire album's worth of music--15 pieces, over one-hour in total--exclusively using the "Bob Moog Tribute Library" in Spectrasonics' Omnisphere software synthesizer for the tonal elements of his album. The one-of-a-kind OMG-1 synthesizer will be presented as the Grand Prize to Mr. Wong in a special event at the 'Moogfest' in Asheville, North Carolina in October 2011.

In fact, so many great pieces of music were submitted in the contest that three other major winners were announced as well, winning prizes generously donated by hardware synthesizer manufacturer Moog Music:

* "Outstanding Achievement Award" David Soltany (Strasbourg, France)

* "Next Generation Award" Eric Oberthaler (Berkeley, California)

* "Most Original Composition" Waen Shepherd (London, UK)

Fifteen additional contestants were recognized with "Creative Excellence Awards" and have their music featured on the Spectrasonics website.

View the complete contest-winners list and listen to their music: [LINK]

The OMG-1 Synthesizer
The grand prize in the contest, the OMG-1 hardware synthesizer, was designed by Persing as a live performance instrument and is not a commercial product. It integrates the worlds of analog synthesis with a Moog Little Phatty®, and software synthesis with Omnisphere software synthesizer and the Omni TR™ iPad app--all in a hand-crafted curly maple cabinet containing Apple iPads and a MacMini.

The Bob Moog Tribute Library - Still Available for all Omnisphere Users!

Produced by Eric Persing, the Bob Moog Tribute library features over 700 stunning new sounds for Spectrasonics' Omnisphere Power Synth. The Soundsources in the library were developed using highly creative processing techniques--often with exotic gear. The sounds in the library were created by more than 40 of the world's top synth artists, remixers and sound designers, including Hans Zimmer, Vince Clarke, Jean Michel Jarre, The Crystal Method, Bernie Worrell, Larry Fast, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jan Hammer, Richard Devine, Danny Elfman and many more. Although the OMG-1 Contest has ended, Spectrasonics' Bob Moog Tribute Library will continue to be sold as a $100 downloadable library for Omnisphere, and 100% of the proceeds will continue to be donated to the Bob Moog Foundation.
