"A track I made sitting in my truck today during lunch time. More features on display. This machine goes anywhere and is useful in many situations. I continue to rethink what it can do. I have not been so excited about a piece of gear since I built my modular synthesizer!"

"Song q of 2, really showing what the Cluster synth engine with portamento, mono and legato can do for the old west coast hip hop lead sound/whistle... in a ghetto techno style of course. Sounds sequenced inside with internal endless and pattern sequencers. All sounds played from Tape and tweaked with FX live."

"The bassdrum sound is entirely coming from the Mrs.Bassdrum Box.
The other drum sounds are samples of the TR-808 snare and hihat on the computer. Mrs.Bassdrum is sequenced with short click sounds programmed in Ableton Live coming out the headphone jack on a laptop going into the trigger input on Mrs.Bassdrum. Massive bass is the result !! Mrs.Bassdrum is based on the TR-808 bassdrum circuit, but is powered by a 9 volt adapter or 9 volt battery. Enjoy!! Coming to ebay soon..."

via this auction
"There are 6 knobs:
Sens. (trigger sensitivity)
Tune (pitch control)
Level (volume control)
Decay (length of sound) *twice as long as original 808*
Env (Pitch envelope)
Tone (level of initial click sound)
There is also a switch to turn the Env. to original TR-808 setting.
This makes it easy to get the original 808 sound.
Turn the tune knob near the center for the original pitch.
Then you are off to 808 style heaven.
But you can get much much lower (and higher!)
Mrs.BassDrum is powered by a 9 volt adapter or 9 volt battery.
Triggered by voltage in, audio in, or tap the drum pad.
Fun and scary speaker shuffling!!
Watch your levels!!!"

via Gabriel: "My synth is a bit more than 5 rows but with ÖGENIX I'm the lead vocalist, I don't need the whole "wall of sound" for the few times I grab it and play some noise during some bridges where I don't sing! SO Tip top Audio's happy ending kit is ideal for that!

The Harvestman: Hz Donut, Malgorythm
Malekko: Noisering

59 Missing Link Playing Buchla (and MiniMoog)

"So today I got the very very cool Missing Link from Jabrudian in the mail today and decided to test it. As I no longer have a modular with a VCA I had to patch it up with the Buchla 259e as sound source and MiniMoog as gate :) I just used the default template for the TouchOSC app in my iPad so I was a bit limited. I expect to get tons of fun out of this!

samplerSequencer for iPhone

"'SamplerSequencer' turns your device into a sampler sequencer for professional musicians and composers. Just record a single sound / voice / special effect "LA notes," using the samplerSequencer audio recording feature (using the internal microphone of the device) or import the sound into the device through synchronization (using the iTunes software for Mac or PC) or using copy / paste using the technology "iTunes File Sharing" and samplerSequencer will create for you the whole scale of sounds and assign them to the virtual keyboard (n octaves) of samplerSequencer, at which point you can record an audio track using the sequencer recording feature of samplerSequencer (the sequencer record for you every note played by you). SamplerSequencer operates with seven independent sound tracks, each with its own sampled sound (assignable to a track). You can then record a track at a time (using the virtual keyboard or by writing different notes by hand) and then listen all the tracks together using the sequencer play feature.

The sampleSequencer "all tracks view" and "selected track view", the ability to manually enter a note or put it through the virtual keyboard, the ability to delete unwanted notes through the hash function, to touch a note and change its position, length and the type of the note (note shift), the possibility of including sequencer events such as pitch bending and many other features make samplerSequencer a professional sequencer like the most popular sequencers for Mac or PC.

The software is able to read the common audio files (WAV, MP3, CAF, etc. ...) so you can create your own sound (you only need one audio file) using standard wave editor for Mac or PC and samplerSequencer will create automatically for you the musical instrument.

You can also import a song from the iTunes library on the device and by controlling "SAMPLE START POSITION" you can select a sound by extracting it from the same song: samplerSequencer will automatically create the complete musical instrument for you.

You can import a song from iTunes and assign it to a track, and using the other tracks you can play your track over the imported song… the sequencer will play the song combined with your sound tracks.

With samplerSequencer you will have in your pocket the smallest sampler and sequencer that exists!

Features:
- Import any sound and samplerSequencer generates for you the entire scale of sounds (n octaves)
- Storing infinite sound samples using the archive of sound ("Samples Archive") of samplerSequencer
- Virtual Keyboard
- Control for increase / decrease the keyboard octave (usable in real time)
- "Bending control" to change the sound in real time
- "Sample Start Position" control:
you can remove the initial part of a sample (ex. silence) by specifying the start time instant of the sample (CUT FEATURE)
- "Sustain Pedal" control
- Multi keyboard voices (64 entries)
- Default "GRAND PIANO"sample
- Possibility of "registration" of musical patterns during live performances:
enabling the recording, samplerSequencer record to an audio file the music played with the keyboard by the user (pressing a key on the keyboard to play, after registration, your live performance)
- sequencer with 7 independent tracks (you can assign to each track a different sampled sound)
- MUTE function to turn off unwanted tracks (PLAY MUTE feature)
- Independent VOLUME for each track (SEQUENCER MIXER)
- Function touches a note and change its parameters of position, duration, and type of the note
- Function touch / drag to remove one or more notes
- Function touch / drag to remove unwanted events (pitch bending etc...)
- Metronome"

Säckpipa - Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad


YouTube Uploaded by tradlessons on Apr 4, 2011

"Sackpipa is a cool sounding set of Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad.

The chanter fingerings are based on those used for the real instrument.

You may choose between major and minor scales.

The left half of the chanter image is for the "top" hand, the right half is the "bottom" hand.

The bar at the bottom center is the left thumb hole that is on the back of a real chanter.

You may perform finger vibrato for expression on most notes with the middle finger of the right hand. Vibrato depth is adjustable with the on-screen control.

Touch the drones in the background painting to start/stop the drones.

Touch the Stop sign at the lower right corner of the screen to stop all sounds.

Touch the 'i' icon at the upper right corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen volume and drone startup pitch ramp controls. All settings are saved and restored the next time the app is run.

Touch the '?' icon at the lower left corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen help and fingering chart.

On the real Sackpipa, you have to keep your left thumb covering the back chanter hole for all notes except the highest one. On the app, the back chanter hole is provided by the gray bar (lights up green) at the bottom of the screen under your left thumb. If you aren't hearing any different notes, make sure your left thumb is on the bar.

Next, touch the bar at the bottom with your left thumb, and touch the left half of the chanter starting with the tips of your left index, middle, and ring fingers. Next touch the right half of the chanter with the tips of your right index, middle, ring, and little fingers. The tips of the fingers must be used, not the flats.

This initial version has sounds with a full sounding chorus effect.

Future updates will include dry sound sets and additional tunings."

"Analogue Ribbon Station"

This one in via Soviet Space Child

Update:
"Korg Monotribe Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer Station

— Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe - In a world seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Today, Korg once again takes up the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body.

Korg's monotribe shares the monotron's analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with built-in speakers and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable, able to deliver your ideas with style and personality.

True Analog Synthesis
The monotribe's sound engine uses technology old and new, merging the powerful sound of analog synthesis with the dexterity and playability required in today's groove making environments. Analog technology is essential for fast and responsive control, and delivers the full sonic spectrum from warm and easy-going to full-throttle rampage.

Three-Part Analog Drums
The monotribe provides a three-part rhythm section powered by discrete analog circuitry; bass drum, snare, and hi-hat. These three sounds were the key elements in a generation of analog beat making, and are still in demand today. Use these powerful drum sounds to generate distinctive beats attainable only from the monotribe.
