Peacefully in Your Sleep - Track Made with Nodal

Remember Nodal? Here's an example of what someone did with it.



See CTRL_Voltage for details and an image of the patch.

"a lot of new things posted to the store today and a couple oldies. the TEASPOON release is a little odd this time, trying to keep it fair. i'll be randomly posting single units to the store through out the next couple days and the last one will be posted to my ebay store for a 3 day auction ending at 8pm CST on saturday, good luck

Cell Phone Synth

spotted this one on modd3d. You can see a video of it here.
"The cell phone piano. Each key on the keyboard is wired into a key on a cell phone - as you play, you are also dialing. The channels are mixed together and amplified through speakers. Every sound the piano makes is generated by one of the four phones. The white keys play notes and the black keys are people saying the number out loud - English on the left hand and Spanish on the right. Some white keys were left over and I made those percussion instruments (the "*", "END", and "#" keys)."

Modular synth controlled from MaxMSP


Modular synth controlled from MaxMSP from Andreas Wetterberg on Vimeo.
"MaxMSP is sending out amplitude variations of a squarewave. This audio signal is fed into an envelope follower, which generates the pitch of the sequence.

The rest is just me futzing about. I'm really hoping to find the *cough* 'time' *cough* to expand this system soon."

Synsonics Model# 5300


via this cl listing, via Jeremy who'd like to know if anyone out there knows more about these. The shots aren't the greatest, but I've never seen or posted one before. Click on the Synsonic label below for posts on other Synsonic electronic drums. via the listing: "Synsonic Model# 5300 ----THESE ARE NOT HIGH QUALITY PROFESSIONAL ELECTRIC DRUMS, but instead, it is a fun set of four drums & a base drum that makes various tones (& some drum/cymbal sounds) that can be altered & played around with. I bought this set about 18 years ago for about $350."

Update: Jeremy found a close-up of the control box on Audio Playground (keyboardmuseum.com) here, via the Synsonics page.

"kit for a TLN-428 Voltage Controlled State Variable Filter... Tellun synth projects are well documented and well designed. They are the closet thing to MOTM in synth DIY. Take a look at his website for more amazing projects.

Auction includes:
Tellun PCB - out of production / no longer available
Stooge mounting bracket
PCB Stand Offs
Jacks and Pots (Pots are Alpha and not the more exspensive Bourns or Spectrol. One of the Pots will need to have it's shaft cut tomatch the others)
All board mouted components including CEM 3320 (Which sell for $40.00!)
Black mounting screws (to mount your panel in to MOTM style rails)
IC Sockets
Wire - Including shielded audio for the
Solder - both organic and no clean
MOTM Power cable
Tellun User's Guide, and schematics - which can be found online here

You'll need to supply a small amount of heat shrink grease (Scrap some off that old CPU in the garage;)

EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR FRONT PANEL AND KNOBS!

This was never offered as a kit (well not to my knowledge anyway). I put this together as a kit - That's to say that it's not a kit offered by Tellun Industries."

electribe esx-1 1

"improv on the korg electribe esx-1, first vid of it,..couple of mistakes but it came out pretty good. not my usual style, but plenty fun.. broke the very ending but oh well :)

everything = esx. sample kits are custom as well as the synth waveforms. a decent trick; run a pad or lead through all three chains of pitchshifter to build a chord. resample that chord at a root note or two and save it. also gives the 'supersaw' sound if u use it on a good saw wave."

Propellerhead Software supports the Bob Moog Foundation

via Propellerhead Software:
"Bob Moog helped moving electronic music from obscure university laboratories into the realm of popular music and for that we all owe a lot to his legacy. Innovations such as the Minimoog have in many ways shaped the sound of today's music and have inspired both musicians and other manufacturers to push electronic music instruments further and further ahead.

When Bob Moog passed away in August 2005, his family established the Bob Moog foundation dedicated to the advancement of electronic music and in his memory. The goals of the Moog foundation are, in their own words:
'The mission of The Bob Moog Foundation is to document, celebrate and teach innovative thinking and to support and honor the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog. Our four long range goals are: scholarship, outreach programs, unique community events and a Bob Moog Museum.'

Propellerhead Software have decided to support the Bob Moog foundation by a donation and to help raise the awareness about the Foundation and Robert Moog's legacy among Reason users. To achieve the latter, we have released a Moog-inspired ReFill, created by a team of experienced synthesists. The ReFill is free to download for all Reason users and we encourage anyone who uses the ReFill to donate to the foundation.

About the Moog Foundation ReFill
Industry pro's (and Reason experts), Craig Anderton, Mark Vail and Gordon Reid donated their best Moog-style patches, built using Reason's Thor synthesizer. The intent is to shed some light onto the world of music synthesis that Bob Moog pioneered. Those patches have been assembled into a single Reason ReFill and are available to registered Reason version 4 owners.
How to help support Bob Moog's memory

To make the Foundation's goals a reality, the Moog Foundation is in need of financial support, both from companies like Propellerhead Software and from musicians like you. Even if you have never used or owned a Moog synthesizer, each time you use a sawtooth waveform in Thor you are in fact using part of Moog's legacy. To donate, please visit the Moog Foundation's donation page."

You can find the ReFill download and a letter from Michelle Moog-Koussa here.

For me is the Pro-One one of the best classic monophonic synths ever!

This video demo is not a musical statement, only demonstration of the sound possibilities of the instrument."

Update via theformicarium: "I've just had great fun taking some shots of our newly repaired Multimoog (which used to belong to the music department at my old school, I went back a few years ago to take part in a performance for my brother and found that they were planning to chuck it in a skip and so I rescued it!) I have just saved up enough to have Tony Allgood at Oakley Sound get it restored to nearly good as new and it arrived back on Sunday. The sound is amazing, the sweepable waveshape oscillators sound incredible when theyre halfway between shapes and the sample & hold is to die for. I've taken some careful closeups and put them on the Formication Flickr page along with some shots of our Analog Solutions modded tr-606 and a few more shots of the ubiquitous notron"

Nodal

"Nodal is a generative software application for composing music. It uses a novel method for the notation and playing of MIDI based music. This method is based around the concept of a user-defined graph. The graph consists of nodes (musical events) and edges (connections between events). You interactively define the graph, which is then traversed by any number of players who play the musical events as they encounter them on the graph. The time taken to travel from one node to another is based on the length of the edges that connect the nodes.

Nodal is free software available for Mac OS X based computers.

Working with Nodal

Nodal does not make any sound by itself – it only generates MIDI data. You will need a MIDI synthesiser to hear the output that Nodal is making. Nodal is compatible with any MIDI synthesiser. For simple demonstrations we recommend SimpleSynth.
Nodal will also work with Apple's GarageBand software."
