How low (or infrequent) can you go...?


via sublevel9 studios where you'll find the full post.

"The E-mu drum machine pictured spits out 24 ppq (pulses-per-quarter note) for syncing with other devices that speak that language. I wanted to see whether I could make use of those pulses in other ways... 24 ppq is a real barrage, let me tell you -- that's 96th notes, for the rhythmically inclined among you."

"It powers on just fine and there is signal out of the phones/monitor outputs but the built in speakers only 'hum' when on. With it plugged into a monitor or headphones there is an overall fuzz/noise going on."

"2. Candle Piece

After Nic Collins' "In Memoriam", I was inspired to make a musical circuit which responds to flame. I waited until I found the perfect candles— 5 minute long candles—which provided a concise narrative arc for this circuit.

I gave myself several limitations with this one: make the sculpture as small as possible, make it silent in darkness, and don't do anything besides light the damn candle. we filmed 7 takes, and finally got lucky with this lazarus candle. The original cut is 8 minutes long—incredibly, it kept coming back to light, to life."

kaoss pad quad demonstration


YouTube Uploaded by bowmoneydrums on Apr 25, 2011

"i've seen demos of the kaoss pad quad, but wanted to do my own and show how each effect could be used musically rather than in quick shots. sorry for the boring song, made a quick beat and some synth lines with a video game feel to make a demonstration video of the effects. the drum machine is a korg em-1 and the synth lines come from the korg kaossilator pro. more to come with combining effects, freeze, etc."

Musik Messe Biscuit and Missing Link Jam


YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Apr 25, 2011

This one in via Jeannot of 4MS Pedals:
'We were just in Frankfurt for Musik Messe, with our new euro modules, and met a bunch of great manufacturers, and artists. I took this video, albeit a couple weeks ago, of Denis from OTO machines, and Hanz from Missing Link jamming on the Biscuit, and Wireless MIDI/OSC Transmitter. They've got it hooked into a modded XBase09, and the master clock is coming from the new products by the Innerclock Systems guys. Hans Lindauer is jamming on the iPhone, with a very fun, minimal, osc command program, and also has the iPad up and running OSC/Midi commands. Denis Cazajeux is tweaking the 8 bit delay and pitch shifting. Thought you'd might like to see it, bad quality and all, its a good jam. That part of our booth was so fun, it was nice to have a solid beat going in the background of modulars, and tabletop synths."

Pac Man Joystick synthesizer


video by YouTube Uploaded by puffhandy on Apr 25, 2011

"This is (was) one of those old video game reproductions that you plug straight into a TV. I gutted it out after deciding I have enough versions of Pac Man to play with, (super pac man really sucks!) And built my own synth! It's another 40106 based synth using four of the six schmitt triggers for main oscillators and one for the Lfo. It has a light sensor for one of the main voices and a "rate" knob for the Lfo speed. I was able to make it run on the original set up of four AA batteries in the compartment underneath and as you can see the blue knob that I use for wintergreen altoidsalmost matches perfectly. It has a 1/4 inch out to plug into any amp or mixer and i used the menu light for power. the menu button works to change the LFO into a swooping triangle instead of a square wave and the red trigger button makes the sound come out."
