Jigsaw

Jigsaw by curvetheory
"Just having a little fun on a Sunday afternoon.

I am using a Voyager RME, which of course doesn't have a touch surface...enter the Korg KO Pro. I am using it to send MIDI CC# 1-3 to my Moog Multi-pedal, converting that to CV and then plugging those patch cables into the X, Y and Gate of the "Touch" section of the Moog VX-352, plugged into the RME. In the touch parameters of the RME, I have the X destination set to External Audio, which happens to be a pad sound from the E-Mu XL-7. The Voyager and XL-7 are being played through Ableton with an Akai MPK49 simultaneously. The Y destination on the Voyager is Filter Cutoff. The Gate destination is OSC 2. As I sweep the KO Pro's touch surface from left to right the audio of the XL-7 is brought in. As an added bonus, I'm using MIDIPipe to utilize the aftertouch of the MPK49 with the Voyager. Converting the aftertouch data to MIDI CC#4, routed to the Multi-pedal and being converted into CV, allows me to plug a patch cable with aftertouch into any CV that I want. In this piece the aftertouch is plugged into the LFO rate of the Moog CP-251, saw out to the filter cutoff in on the VX-352. The gurgley notes are a result of this technique. Yes, I do know this means I'm a geek. I'm no longer in denial."

Elektron Octatrack Update - LFOs



1. LFO Remixing by Elektron "An example of how much the LFOs can change a pattern. The LFOs, using both standard and designed waveforms, are controlling pitch, filter and start parameters." via http://www.elektron.se/products/octatrack


"The Octatrack has plenty of LFO power under the hood. All internal tracks have three dedicated tempo-synced LFOs at their disposal, meaning 24 LFOs in total are available. The LFOs can be assigned to a wide range of parameters and are useful for adding movement and evolving changes to samples. The LFOs can be set to eleven basic waveforms plus eight LFO designer waveforms.

The LFO designer allows for customized LFO waveforms. An LFO designer waveform consists of 16 steps where each step can have a manually set value. The steps can be either interpolated or stepped. LFO designer waveforms are very versatile and can almost be regarded as mini-sequencers. They can for example be used to make rhythmic track parameter changes or, when modulating the start point of sampled drum loops, function as instant remix tools. Each track contains an LFO designer and all designed waveforms are available for all LFOs."

Korg Oasys: caricare wav in sequencer / wav load


YouTube via JackOasys | November 07, 2010

"Korg Oasys Tutorial: una chiara spiegazione per chi ha ancora dubbi sulla procedura, oppure la sfrutta raramente e spesso la dimentica. Caricare file wav in modo Sequencer permette di suonare dal vivo con basi preregistrate (samples, effetti, intro originali o intere song già composte). Allo start del sequencer partirà una "song" in cui potrete suonare sulle tracce midi mentre sulle tracce audio, nei punti prestabiliti, partiranno i file wav che avete caricato.
ATTENZIONE
Due importanti cose da ricordare:
1) si possono caricare soltanto file WAV MONO 48 KHZ (tutti gli altri tipi vanno prima convertiti, è possibile farlo anche direttamente su Oasys con la funzione "Rate Convert" nel modo disk
2) per essere caricati in Sequencer, i file wav vanno prima copiati necessariamente sull'HD interno. Non è possibile caricarli direttamente da chiavetta usb, da CD audio o da altre periferiche esterne.

Non perdetevi il prossimo tutorial: KORG OASYS INSIDE, un interessante viaggio all'interno dei circuiti di Oasys (previsto tra 7 giorni)

"
Korg Oasys Tutorial: a clear explanation for those who still have doubts about how, or exploit it rarely and often forget. Download wav file so Sequencer allows you to play pre-recorded live with bases (samples, effects, or entire original intro song they composed.) At the start of the sequencer will start a "song" where you can play on the midi tracks as audio tracks in predetermined places, leave the wav file that you uploaded.
CAUTION
Two important things to remember:
1) you can load only 48 kHz mono WAV file (all other types must first be converted, you can do it directly on Oasys with "Rate Convert" in the way disk
2) to be loaded into the sequencer, wav files are first copied to the internal HD necessarily. You can not upload directly from a USB stick, CD or other audio peripherals.

"Crazy Labs"

"Elliot and I have been learning about electronics lately, since our visit to a workshop in NYC last summer. She's planning on doing something with this knowledge for her upcoming science fair at school, so she's been working to figure out how things go. "Crazy Labs" is the name she's given to our lab, which is also my music room.

This is part of my modular synth."

"[the track] uses one of my favorite production techniques.

I have a Little Phatty with the CV Out Modification. Here I synced its arpeggiator to a master MIDI clock from a Yamaha MO8 (MO8 run through MF-101s on each stereo channel). I connected the Pitch Out CV from the Phatty to the Filter Cutoff In CV on a Voyager, dialed up a wet, resonant patch and had a lot of fun.

The rest is Alesis Micron through MF-101, Korg MicroX through MF-101 and Kurzweil K2000 through a MIDI Murf."

S1 MIDI Trigger Ver 3.2 プロモーションビデオ


YouTube via bebinico | November 07, 2010 -
Update: The video is pretty self explanatory, but I added the new English version below.
No knobs, no problem. Direct control of your synths with the iPad. USB support with the Camera Connection kit is coming (see this related post). And of course direct iPad to synth via the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer. You can create your own layouts with this and it's only $2.99. This is pretty amazing when you think about it. The only other option is TouchOSC and OSCulator which runs $19 to $39 depending on how much you want to pay, and they require a computer to run between the iPad and your gear. Note there are obviously some differences between the two, so do your research, but we now have customizable controllers for our synths. Currently the two only support MIDI CC, but Sysex is coming. The iPad will bring new life to cryptic synths. This is going to open up a whole new world in rediscovering menu based synths. I can't wait to unlock the Yamaha FS1R for example.

"S1 MIDI Triggerの最新バージョンです。

THE SOUND OF MICROS Computers and music by Robert A. Moog

You can find the full article on AtariArchives.org

"Robert A. Moog is the inventor of the practical music synthesizer and president of Big Briar, Inc., a Leicester, North Carolina, firm specializing in the design of custom electronic instruments.

'For some of us, the idea of an electronic muse is scary; after all, music is an essentially human activity, while electronic equipment, especially the computer, is "mechanical" and "unnatural." Throughout history, however, music has been closely linked to technology. Except for the human voice, the instruments of music-making have always been "high tech" in their time...'"

Diabolical Modified Roland TR-606 Analog Drum Machine

via this auction
"Roland TR-606 Vintage analog drum machine professionally modified by Diabolical Devices. Features custom paint job and custom front panel along with the following added modifications.

Bass Drum-
Pitch, Decay, and Envelope amount and envelope selector switch. These mods make the 606 bass drum a lot closer to the 808, but allows you to take it further to create some really unique sounds.

Snare Drum-
Added controls for Pitch, Decay Reduction and a High Pass Filter.

Individual Outputs- each drum sound has a post volume control output witch removes corresponding drum sound from the main mix.

This 606 has been completely refurbished and Blue LEDs were added.

Case is in pretty good shape there is a small section missing from the front corner which is pretty common on these machines."
