KORG DS-10 PLUS: 'MB LINK (Anthony Seeha Remix)' By BASSGEAR
YouTube via seehanth001 | November 03, 2010
"A new remix created entirely on Korg DS-10 Plus.
I listened to the original song created by a Japanese artist named BASSGEAR. I heard some potential, so I decided that I would try a shot at remixing it. With his permission, I proceeded to remix. I tried to make the melodies stay true to the original song. And hey, the song turned out a lot better than I expected.
Please enjoy!! :D

Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V Officially Announced
"New launch of a classic: Waldorf delivers PPG Wave 3.VWaldorf PPG 3Waldorf PPG 3.V is the reincarnation of the legendary PPG Wave Synthesizer, which no doubt is considered one of the most respected high-end synthesizers of the 80s. Developed by Wolfgang Palm, this instrument is featured on countless records, and it inspired a whole generation of producers, composers and listeners. While back then it was your choice to spent your money either for a vehicle or the PPG, the new PPG 3.v renders this breathtaking sonic character very affordable, comfortably to use for every VST or AU Host.
PPG Wave 2 was the very first digital Wavetable synthesizer with analog filters that allowed completely new worlds of sound and endless sonic possibilities. Shortly afterwards, the successor PPG 2.2 came out and was born to make history. With a gigantic arsenal of waveshapes, it could not only reproduce known analog sounds, but also brilliant choirs, bells and whistles. The digital sounds of wavetables had been unheard until then and offered sensational sonic evolutions by smoothly going through 64 waves back and forth.
But the technical possibilities also produced harsh artifacts such as aliasing and others, which could not be omitted back then. Today, although technology is some steps further, Waldorf engineers even managed to get the harshness back in order to recreate the character of the beast.
Wolfgang Palm, the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis, assisted during the development process in order to recreate the PPG as close as possible. "We are very thankful for Wolfgang's very informative advice and insight during development." Says Waldorf CEO Stefan Stenzel.The combination of digital waveshapes and analog filters of the PPG was responsible for an unparalleled fat and thrust boosting character. This has been very accurately recreated in PPG 3.v up to the smallest resolution of detail. With PPG 3.V, it is actually possible to switch between several version of the original. Besides PPG Wave 2.2 and PPG Wave 2.3,
PPG Wave 2.V and their subtle differences in aliasing and other sources of harshness are adjustable.
Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is capable of delivering up to 256 voices of polyphony, depending on the host computer. Each voice offers two Wavetable oscillators with optional sample playback with either 8, 12, or 32 bits of resolution. Samples can easily be loaded by Drag & Drop. An 8 part multimode allows multisamples to be used with the same charme and ease of use that the original offered.
Sound is further shaped by a selectable 12 or 24 dB lowpass filter, which is an authentic recreation of the classic PPG Wave 2.2/2.3 Filter, followed by an optional overdrive for extra fuzz. Besides the LFO, three envelope generators serve as modulation sources, either for the original rude or the contemporary smooth modulation.
The up to eight parts can be arranged in poly, dual, quad and mono unison modes, with separate semitone adjustments for automatic chords or melodies. Thanks to the multimode with eight stereo outputs, the instrument is well suited for both studio environment or live on stage.The Arpeggiator offers up and down modes, besides this an alternate mode and with "cascade mode" a true PPG specialty. For further refinement, several effects are available simultaneously, among these a 4-band equalizer, several overdrive modes, a phaser with up to 12 stages and a chorus with up to six taps. Flanger, stereo delay and reverb are also available.
The original PPG featured a unique user-interface, the "Analog Control Panel" offered direct access to many parameters, while digital menus were edited with somewhat cryptic acronyms that you had to look up in the manual in your lap.
PPG 3.v features the very same concept, with the slight enhancement of comprehensible parameter names and values. Almost all parameters can be subjected to host automation and convenient MIDI regulation by assigned control numbers. This makes it very easy to integrate PPG Wave 3.V into any existing production environment.
Thie Waldorf PlugIn runs on both Windows and Apple computers. On Windows, it requires Windows XP or better, on Mac, OS X version 10.3.9 or higher is needed.
Waldorf PPG 3.V will be available middle of November for a MSRP of 169,- Euro."

University of York Weather Station Sonification/Visualisation
University of York Weather Station Sonification/Visualisation from Philip Cunningham on Vimeo.
"I made this patch in Pure Data to sonify and visualise the weather station data online at the University of York's website (weather.elec.york.ac.uk/). I wanted to give the data a sonic/visual narrative that could be easily understood.
1) Wind: White noise is the basis for the wind. Speed determines the value of a lowpass filter & gust speed determines the amplitude of the output. Direction is represented by the white noise's pan position.
2) Rain/hail: The amount of rain & hail that has fallen since midnight is used to control a the frequency of a sawtooth wave. The faster it oscillates, the more rain that has fallen. Rain is heard in the left audio channel, whilst hail is heard in the right.
3) Pressure: The air pressure controls the frequency of a sine wave generator. The low frequency is scaled to be audible to human ears.
4) Humidity/Dew Point: This data controls the duty cycle of a pulse wave. If humidity is very high, it will produce a thin and raspy tone and if it is low it will produce are 'fuller' sound. Dew point & humidity are closely related. Here, it affects the amplitude modulation of the pulse wave. The higher the dew point, the faster the modulation.
5) Temperature: Simple FM synthesis is used to represent temperature information. The overall temperature controls the pitch of the carrier wave, wind chill controls the modulator and wind speed controls the modulation amount.
Once the language of the sound and visuals are understood, you can understand the weather conditions very quickly through sensory perception; possibly quicker than if you were to read the information.
(Please note: the weather information on the University of York's website is updated every minute. Therefore sonic and visual changes happen at a glacial pace, particularly on fairly pleasant days)"

MFOS Ultimate & Expandatron
via loydb on this electro-music.com thread where you'll find more pics and info on the build process."The path of twisted logic that led me to this destination went roughly as follows:
Initially, I wanted to build an Ultimate to get something going more quickly than a full 5U cabinet of modules would take. Then I decided that I should build the Expander into the same cabinet, rather than building a separate one for it.
Then I decided that it would be cool to have the MFOS 16-step sequencer included as well rather than another separate box.
So I started arranging panels. If I put them side by side, it was wider than I liked. So I jammed the panels for the Ultimate and Expander together to make a 21" megapanel.
Putting the 16-step panel above them by itself looked funny -- so I suddenly had another huge chunk of panel space to fill. I thought about a second sequencer, but instead went on a PCB buying binge. I plan on doing a custom front panel the same size as the Ultimate + Expander panels that will contain all the other modules. This will be 24U (12U on each level).The final cast is as follows:
MFOS Wall Wart Power Supply
MFOS Ultimate + Expander
MFOS 16-step sequencer
MFOS 8-stage Phaser
MFOS Stereo Panner
MFOS Voltage Quantifier
Buchla 292c clone filter"

If you want to learn the theremin please check in the same shop the practically method "The Art of Playing the Theremin" by Carolina Eyck.
Contact: info[at]servi.de
The theremin is one of the most fascinating musical instruments of our times. It was invented in 1919 by the Russian Lew Sergejewitsch Termen (later known as Leon Theremin), a trained physicist and ambitious cello player. For many inventors, Lew Termen's creation was a starting point for experiments with the unlimited possibilities of electronic sound generation. His theremin, also known in popular language as the etherwave violin, nevertheless represents even today something unique among musical instruments: it is played without touching it. Electric fields radiated by the instrument are influenced through movements of both arms and hands. In this way, the pitch and volume of the instrument can be controlled. Through every gesture, through the smallest movements of the body, the musician has the possibility of creating melodies and of shaping music in the air with his or her hands. The young Leon Theremin himself was able to enchant a large concert-going audience both in Europe and the USA with these magical sounds. But despite such enthusiasm, the number of theremin virtuosi has always remained small. This is not least because of the fact that the instrument demands of the performer an extraordinarily sensitive control of the body.

"It's another installment from Zion I's Amp Live delivering a definite dose of electric funk. Coming from a history of defying all boundaries when it comes to the contemporary sounds of music, this video is evidence that the mission lives on.
Prepare yourself as Amp Live plays the role of a electro-magnetic maestro as he guides you through an electric fairytale of injected images of breaking dancing, ninjas, & chickens (that's right I said it). This video takes you on a muscle bond journey of beats that even I have a problem NOT moving too. Damn it, for being so catchy! 'Chick Pop' was recently featured on MTV's Buried Life.
