"Leader Kim Jong Il is a pioneer of experimental music, electronic music and non-standard use of musical instruments, Dear Leader Kim Jong Il is one of the leading figures in the avant-garden.

In DPRK the people are not like in US. In US the people make music for personal profit of capitalist, making lives of people miserable and dark.

But in DPRK all the people have deep love of Dear Leader Kim Jong Il and they have also love for each other. In DPRK the comrades make experimental musick to build the independant powerful prosperous country under care of Dear Leader Kim Jong Il who give warm fatherly love to the people like rainbow coming out of sun in the sky."

This will probably hinder MATRIXYSNTH making it in North Korea. If you click on the global map of my anniversary posts you will see North Korea is one of the few countries with zero visits to the site. Oh well... Maybe they ban Google Analytics? If anyone from North Korea is out there, post a comment! :) Or maybe not. I wouldn't want to get anyone in trouble. On a synth related note, check out this post on North Korea to make electronic musical instruments.

RUCKAZOID - CONTROLLER ONE DEMO #1

"The Controller One is an original concept design by The Ruckazoid.

http://www.myspace.com/ruckazoid

This turntable was designed to allow djs to play a vinyl or digital vinyl source as an instrument. It has full melodic capabilities, can be controlled by a footpedal, and even MIDI, as well as other groundbreaking features. This turntable can change the face of djing forever!

The Ruckazoid manipulates the vinyl, and uses the pitch buttons on the Controller One turntable to create the melodies. This performance was entirely improvised.

100's of more Controller One videos to come.

CONTROLLER ONE FEATURES:
*Use the pitch fader or the SCALE BUTTON to match the pitch speed instantly to major and minor scales.

*Multiple pitch modes which allow you to use the fader or the buttons to get different note changes. Allows the user to use the turntable in a traditional fashion too.

*Change the scale with the foot switch while you scratch. Just as a guitarist would do with a wah pedal or guitar effects. Allows you to fully utilize the turntable with the scratch hand and feet to to control speeds and pitches.

*The vinyl sound can be tuned, for when you play with other instruments or in a band. It's just as though a band or orchestra would do before a live performance, tuning their gear to bring the right sounds to the audience.

*If you're used to traditional pitch controls, switch the pitch fader function to PITCH mode and play with a variable pitch range of �}8/�}10/�}60%.

*Programmable buttons allow you to assign your own pitch percentages to any button for your own custom performance.

*Midi controls the speed of the turntable with a midi controller. This is great for use of hip hop producers wanting to maintain the richness of sound in analog records without losing depth when 16 leveling their samples.

*7SEG pitch LED for easy view and to know what note or pitch point you are on is located at the top corner, to make sure you're on the right key and sound.

*Powerful AC direct drive motor provides the best torque and stable speeds to perform the best in sounds.

*The pitch bend shifts up and down in half tones to play sharp and flat notes, enabling you to hit the notes and keys to the exactness.

*Solid wood body which promotes a richer sound, the best sounding turntable ever!

The record used on this video is "UPR 4". It features over 60 locked groove tones and percussive analog samples recorded from vintage gear, specifically designed for the Controller One. For more information about purchasing "UPR 4" visit:

ROLAND LIVE EXHIBIT UNVEILED AT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM

"Los Angeles, CA, September 10, 2009 — Roland Corporation U.S. and The GRAMMY Museum are proud to announce the opening of a new permanent installation in The GRAMMY Museum, Roland Live.

The GRAMMY Museum is an exciting and interactive celebration of the power of music, occupying a vibrant new space in downtown Los Angeles. Four floors of cutting edge exhibits, interactive experiences and films provide a one-of-a-kind visitor experience — engaging, educational, celebratory and inspirational.

Debuting September 16th, the Museum’s new Roland Live exhibit gives visitors a chance to participate in the music-making process. By playing electronic musical instruments, guests will have the opportunity to explore and think critically about how today’s music is crafted.

Among a wide variety of Roland products, visitors will have the chance to interact with V-Drums, BOSS pedals, Handsonic, VIMA keyboards, and the MV-8800 Production Studio.

“Working with Roland is a natural fit for The GRAMMY Museum,” says Robert Santelli, Executive Director of The GRAMMY Museum. “Roland Live will greatly add to the interactivity of our exhibits, allowing visitors to actually experience another step in the creative process—playing instruments.”

“The GRAMMY Museum is a destination for music education. They have so many amazing activities that make music come to life,” says Dennis Houlihan, President of Roland Corporation U.S. “We’re excited to bring the experience of performing on Roland instruments to a place that everyone can enjoy.”

The GRAMMY Museum’s Roland Live exhibition will open September 16th at L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. For more information, visit http://www.grammymuseum.org."

Not directly a synth, but I got one to destroy audio. These things work great, you can set your transmission frequency and dial in the distortion with a FM receiver."

Klaus Suessmuth of Acidlab Interview

You can find the full interview on Wire to the Ear

On the Miami:
"What features does the Miami have that a vintage TR-808 does not?
* programming on the fly (tap-write)
* all the modes (track write, track play, pattern write and pattern play) can be changed without stopping the sequencer
* two shuffle-modes
* synchronization with midi-clock
* midi mode (instruments can be played with midi notes,
* less noise and less 50Hz, because of newer opamps and no transformer in the housing"

Jazzmutant Lemur Weird MIDI Sequencer


YouTube via lostinetwork
"This video shows some applications from Lemur Breakpoint Object working like a MIDI sequencer, nodes triggering notes and fix them to a selected scale, minor, major, penthatonic, etc,

Also there´s a cc automation page to remote synth/sampler parameters.

The Main idea was to use it for soundscapes, and some pseudo random melodies.

((Still in progress))

Thanks in advance for watching and have a nice day!"

Playing with Numerology's variable patern randomizer and the Repeat and Divide functions lead to this chaotic yet enticing sequence. 8) MIDI from Numerology is converted to Gate/CV and drives 2 dual analog VCOs.

"First Russian Live Interactive Forum for live performance and D.I.Y. approach in different fields of experimental technological arts (mainly experimental electronic
music, video-art, interactivity etc.). Founded by several free composers and scientists on a base of the Theremin-Center (www.theremin.ru) in 2008. The
Theremin-Center - is the first and the oldest studio of electronic and electroacoustic music in Russia. It is situated in Moscow State Conservatory and is an official
part of it. It bares the name of Leon Theremin, who was working at the studio, at the time it was just a laboratory of electroacoustics, and then till his last days.

LoveLiveElectronic (aka LoLiEl) community does regular live events, where artists perform experimental electronic music and video-art often using computer
algorithms, programmed by them-self, or hard-equipment, built by their own. We also consider it good to modify any commercial soft and gear in a HACKING-
paradigm with a purpose of creating something new and unpredictable. LoLiEl also supports so-called "aesthetic of false" which core is in misusing everything,
what you can misuse. And of course we are fond of old soft-wear and old hard-wear, which is now became outside of the commercial market, as well as free-soft
and linux-based developments. We insist on performing live, when AN ACTION PRODUCES EFFECT. We feel bad about using prerecorded samples, but really
appreciate REAL-TIME SAMPLING. We insist on NOT using phonogramms at all. We also produce free work-shops on bending electronics and programming in PD,
Max..MSP, CSound, etc.


We celebrate originality and pray creativity. We feel pulsating spirit of innovational revolution. SELF-programmed, SELF-built, SELF-destroyed.

Special thanks to Jon Appleton for good ideas of logo-design. Spiritual thanks to Andrey Smirnov (head of Moscow Theremin Center). Special thanks to Patricia
Thompson (the doughter of Vladimir Mayakovskiy) for encouragement of the futuristic event in the museum of Mayakovskiy."
