Rheyne - "MIDI Fighter 3D"


YouTube Published on May 8, 2012 by RheyneMusic

"A live looping improv jam performed entirely on a DJ TechTools "MIDI Fighter 3D" controlling NI's Kontakt and three separate instances of NI's Massive, as well as three loopers in Ableton Live. The loopers are controlled from the side buttons. The bank-select buttons arm the MIDI track and instrument for that bank. Ableton's tempo is set after the first loop is recorded.

The first green bank is controlling NI's Kontakt. A filter's cuttoff and resonance is assigned to the right and back tilt (used at the end). The 2nd yellow bank is a monophonic instance of Massive transposed down for bass, with the same filter controls as the drums. Vibrato is controlled by a forward tilt. The third purple bank is a polyphonic instance of Massive, and the fourth orange bank is another mono instance of Massive, with some slight changes to its oscillators to set it apart from the other two Massive banks."

E&MM Spectrum Synthesiser Video Demo

"This demo was put together using just the sounds of the E&MM Spectrum Synthesiser, it was controlled by a pc and midi converter and my analogue sequencer."


via this auction

"The voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) each have six switched octave ranges and five waveforms. The sub octave output is a pulse wave with a square wave added an octave below, making the sound fuller and richer. The tuning LED detects the beats between the oscillators, and indicates when the pitches are in simple musical intervals, useful for tuning without sounding a note (e.g. on stage). The pulse width of VCO 1 is variable, and VCO 2 has a tune control with a tune fifth range. The VCOs can be used together to provide a vast range of sounds not possible with basic synthesisers having only waveform, shape, VCF cutoff and VCF resonance as the controls affecting basic timbre. This is done by frequency modulation and synchronisation - special features of this design. FM uses the triangle output of VCO 1 to modulate the frequency of VCO 2 up to + /- 100%, giving a whole range of non-harmonic tones for bell, gong and chime sounds etc. Synchronisation gives various waveforms from VCO 2 (see Figure 2) which have particular bands of harmonics emphasised for strong, voice box-like sounds. This is achieved by resetting the output of VCO 2 upon each cycle of VCO 1, so the tones generated are always harmonic. Two modes of sync. are provided: Sync. I is that normally found on rampwave oscillators, the VCO 2 waveform beginning in the same way after each reset; Sync. II is something totally new - the triangle output is set to mid way each time but then carries on in the same direction in the new cycle. VCO 2 locks on to VCO 1 harmonics with the change from one harmonic to the next emphasised by a sharp change in tone. This enables automatic arpeggiation and incredible tone sweeps to be obtained since VCO 2 now is effectively a voltage controlled waveform generator/frequency multiplier. The sync. control attenuates the pulses fed to VCO 2 so that it only resets if the wave form is above a certain threshold, resulting in the oscillators being locked together in musical intervals (3rds, 5ths etc). Simultaneous Sync. I and FM produces harmonic tones with the shape of FM-ed waveforms within each cycle.The ring modulator uses triangle and square VCO waveforms to provide further complex tones. Its output is mixed with the noise signal and fed into a special voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). This can be controlled by the LFO or EG, and gives the signals their own loudness contours. Hence noise 'chiffs' can be added to notes, or ring modulation set to swell in as a note decays.

The VCA output is fed to the voltage controlled filter (VCF) mixed with the VCO outputs. The VCF offers the two most useful responses, low pass and band pass, plus an intermediate response for bright sounds that remain strong in lower harmonics. Cutoff frequency and resonance controls per form their normal functions and a keyboard follow control determines how the cutoff frequency varies over the keyboard range.

After envelope shaping, the signal is fed to the voltage controlled pan circuit which can modulate the location of the sound in the stereo field by the LFO or EG signals. The stereo outputs can also be used for voltage control of the depth of external effects such as reverb, phase, and echo, by routing one signal via the effects unit and one direct to the amplifier. A mono output is also provided, and the VCA can also be used for additional amplitude modulation with the LFO as source (for tremolo and other effects).

The interface jacks allow connection to external devices such as sequencers, additional VCO banks, waveform processors etc. The Spectrum Synthesiser uses the 1V/octave CV standard, and can be interfaced to any other exponential CV synthesiser."

Blip Festival 2012 NYC with Hand-Ons Events

Blip Festival NYC 2012
"NEW YORK, NY - Thrift-store electronics collide with dancefloor sensibilities as Blip Festival makes its long-awaited return to New York City. Produced by 8bitpeoples in association with The Tank and Live Nation, the Blip Festival 2012 finds Manhattan once again at the center of the chipmusic universe. From May 25-27, musicians and visualists from all corners of the globe assemble at the Gramercy Theatre to perform astonishing music & motion graphics, produced on & inspired by early-generation home computers and gaming consoles.

The Blip Festival Blog launches with artist interviews and the debut of a short documentary film by 2PLAYERPRODUCTIONS. The 10 minute piece documents the 2011 edition of Blip that took place at the Eyebeam Art & Technology Center last May. The past few years have seen 2PLAYERPRODUCTIONS move on from their humble origins documenting the first Blip Festival in their feature length debut Reformat the Planet, to leading high profile Kickstarter campaigns for documentaries about game industry heavyweights Mojang and Doublefine.

A Tribute (Or An Attribute) To Analog Synthesizers [JV-1080 only] by BITLEY
"Once upon a time I debated whether the JV-1080 (my weapon of choice at that time) could sound "analog" or not. For the record... yeah, we did a collaborative CD... I made this track. It's no overdubs, just a MIDI-controlled JV playing tweaked sounds.

"rand new track made the night between Sept 2 and Sept 3 2011... using only a JV-1080 as sound source... for the first time in many, many REASONably many years. :) Expansion cards: Experience (came with my bargain deal on the JV) and Dance."

254 Buchla compatible Verbos module

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"This is a Mark Verbos design, all analog control voltage processor. Fully compatible with the 200 and 200e
Buchla modular synthesizer systems. It works great, I have not had any problems with it.

It consists of four identical independent sections. Each section has from left to right:
In 1 - Input with bipolar attenuator
In 2 - Input with bipolar attenuator
In 3 / select / In 4 - Two inputs with a cv-controlled crossfader.
These inputs are mixed and optionally offset with the offset-control,
the resulting CV is presented at the output.

With these tools at hand a variety of CV-functions can be implemented.
As a side effect, a section can be used as a simple manual CV-source using the offset knob without inputs.
Very useful for modules such as the 291e."

"This is the Mark Verbos clone of the Buchla 258 Dual Oscillator.
Its an excellent voltage controlled oscillator, fully compatible with the 200 and 200e Buchla modular synthesizer systems.
It works great, I have not had any problems with it. It is all analog and produces very fat and warm analog waveforms
and responds nicely to voltage control.

It has two independent oscillators, each ranges from the pulse register up to
almost inaudible registers. Both oscillators feature variable wave shaping, the top osc goes from sine to sawtooth and the bottom
osc from sine to square wave. The grey jacks on the left side are tuned 1.2v/oct cv inputs."

"TM-7 was originally made as tube-preamp for guitar, but i used it mainly either as an effector for drum-machine, or a siginal/noise generator (it produce very rich noise. one of the best unpredictable noise generator i've ever had).

this TM-7 i purchased around 2002 or 3, was slightly modified and customized by Metasonix's owner Eric Barbour. He changed stick-switches to longer ones for me, since I felt original was too short and difficult to operate. It comes with extra vacuum tube valves that Eric sent me, as well as AC adapter. Everything comes with in an original package."
