Demos / samples on Muff's

Metasonix TM-7

via this auction

"Don't buy this! It's terrible. Sounds awful. This is the Metasonix TM-7 Scrotum Smasher. It's an all tube disgusting distortion with a built in feedback loop. This will smash anything! These are totally rare and awesome and about as analog as it gets. Pure tube tone with control voltage inputs! Comes with original power supply and original box and packing."

Cwejman FSH-1 Frequency Shifter

via this auction

via Cwejman synthesizers:

"The main purpose with the frequency shifter is to make frequency shift up and down for processed audio signal. Two signal sources are needed; the carrier and the audio. Both carrier and audio signals are splitted in two chains and are pre-processed to accomplish 90 degrees phase shift between splitted signals.
The carrier generator has two frequency ranges; LF (low frequency) and AUDIO and it's controlled by knobs
COARSE, FINE and external CV signals (CARRIER CV). The carrier generators outputs are pure sine waveforms with 90 degrees delay between them. Outputs are patched to both ring modulators inputs. Two ring modulators (dual balanced multipliers) receives 0 and 90 degrees shifted carrier and audio signals . The outputs from the multipliers are combined in two ways; the frequency shift UP and DOWN. The frequency shifted audio signal is a sum (UP) or difference (DOWN) of the carrier generators frequency (a pure sine waveform) and all audio signals frequencies (fundamentals and harmonics). The FSH-1 works in two modes; as frequency shifter and as dual ring modulator. A ring modulator is a classic audio effect device and due to the non-harmonic character of the output signal. It's very useful to create metallic timbres such as bells, sweeping whistles and percussive sounds and tremolo effects. The obvious effect (particularly in LF mode) is a stereo panning effect of audio signal."

nfOSC: OSC tool for RFID readers


YouTube via mkalten
"This demonstration video shows the nfOSC tool used together with the touchatag RFID reader.
A simple PD example patch receives OSC messages from nfOSC and starts a sample loop, when an RFID tag is detected by the reader device, the loop is stopped when the according tag is removed. The nfOSC tool allows the simplified creation of tangible user interfaces based on RFID tags.

The sound loops used in this video have been retrieved from freesound.org. The nfOSC tool has been built using the libnfc and liblo libraries."

Why yes I do Like Echo - Part 3 - Analog modular synth improv


YouTube via doctorvague
"last bit of a long improv
the arpeggiators of the Korg Monopoly and the Roland Juno 60 are being triggered by the awesome Moon Modular 563 triigger sequencer. Roger Arrick's awesome synthesizer.com rig in here all over the place. And Eric at STG. And Bruce at Modcan."

Parts 1 and 2 (previously posted) in case you want to see these in order.

korg ds-10 track 35


YouTube via korgds10. I hope we see the KORG emulation on the iPad
"This is the 11th track of my upcoming 3rd album that will be called "Lychees". I wish it was made with some Roland or Moog synth but I am afraid it's just the Nintendo Korg DS-10. Anyways, more stuff at http://korgds-10.blogspot.com which happens to be the Home of the Korg DS-10. I hope you'll stop by."

Propellerhead Record - CycleOn Combi via TouchOSC


YouTube via PeffTV
"iPhone/iPod Touch [and eventually iPad] control of Propellerhead Record via the Hexler.net TouchOSC app. OSC to MIDI conversion handled by OSCulator. This is how i imagine an ideal control system will work with these patches."

Update: what TouchOSC running on the iPad might look like via ISO50.

"The series above are from my January 23 evening performance [mentioned here], and show the new performance configuration. The actual performance shots are a little blurry because it was so dark, but you get the idea. This same page has links to photos from my workshop and interview, with a couple of decent shots of the system.

These two system closeups from the performance hall before the show, though:

S6301294-1.JPG
S6301295-1.JPG

are particularly cool.

There will be video from all three events as well in time."
