MODULAR SYNTH PROTOTYPE DEMO

MODULAR SYNTH PROTOTYPE DEMO from BLCLONES on Vimeo.


"This is a quick setup to demonstrate the modular in a music setting. It can handle midi no problem. The lower notes are the modular. The higher lead is a Juno 60. I am about to sell this sucker on ebay. I just have to make it all tidy and neat with tie straps. There is nothing out there that quite sounds like this modular. It can sound very old skool. The vco's have SuperSaw waveforms.

I can only do so much with (1) hand. I have to hold the camera." On Ebay

Yet, Another Pattern Bussing Demo


YouTube via morbius001
"This is only a DEMO showing how easily the anlog-modular Q960 sequencer can be used to change sequence patterns 'on-the-fly', which is especially great for improvisational work. Imagine you have other music-tracks playing (or even other instruments in a band)... and you wish to change-up how the sequence patterns sound... not just 'skipping' notes, but completely re-ordering reset-points. My technique works really well when you're looking for "that feel" that works with what you're doing or hearing at that time."

Next Life Progression

"Just a little sequencer "noodling" (playing around)... using the 'pattern bussing' technique I use to alter the 'reset-points' of the analog modular sequencer. No digital, or soft-synths were used to create this piece."

Free Korg nanoPAD, nanoKONTROL Scripts for Ableton Live

via CDM where you'll find the details

"Having to open Live templates, however, just to get the mappings you want is a big pain. So, instead I’ve created a basic set of MIDI Remote Scripts and Kontrol Editor templates for Mac and Windows, Live 6.x and later, and wanted to share them with you."

Also see this post on Ableton Live MIDI Remote Scripting.

Folktek Arts Time Scape Sequencer keyboard addition

via the Folktek Arts blog where you'll find more images and info.

"The keyboard is polyphonic and all touch based, allowing the generation of a vast array of waves and feedback textures. Those waves can further be altered by the functions of the Time Scape including the ability for any phrase of waves to be sampled (in conjunction with an incoming signal or solo) and then further altered in sequence in thousands of ways. This broadens the spectrum of the piece a great deal and allows for an entirely new body of sound."

Karl Ekdahl Feature on the Baltimore City Paper

The Baltimore City Paper has a great article on Karl Ekdahl and the Moisturizer. You might remember the Moisturizer from this post featuring video of the device. The following is just an excerpt from the BCP article, be sure to see it for more.

"'I want to present a box to people, and the knobs will have names on them that people have never seen before," he continues. "And not do that to be funny, but because those knobs have never existed before, so I had to make them up. And I think that's much more interesting, or much more challenging. Right now, there are a trillion and one pedal businesses out there, and they're all making another fuzz box. And that's not really interesting. Because there's so much out there. What I'm aiming to do, generally, is make new things, or things particularly broken or erroneous. I don't think the world needs another distortion box not from me anyway.'"

Updated Postcards Released

via the BugBrand mailing list:

"Hi all,

In the last bug-mail I mentioned that newly updated PostcardWeevils would be arriving shortly...
Well - they're now here!

Description & Shop
On the Blog

I am very happy with the update - the overall feel and appearance have been nicely improved.
Better dials - better line-output - better presentation -- but, of course, maintaining the same wondrous sonic world of the previous version!
The only slight down is that the price has also had to rise a bit due to improved parts and a slightly longer construction..

The first batch is available now - further batches are likely towards the end of August.
There are also just a couple more BoardWeevils currently available too - again, further batches sometime in August.

Some people may also be interested to see the YouTube clip of the freshly updated CTL1 - Touch Panel, one of the core goodies of the BugModular range.

So ends July...
Cheers & best to all!
