Heracles Eats A Milky Way

YouTube Published on Jun 25, 2012 by davidryle

"Moon Modular 554 Octal Clock Divider and the Moon 553 Midi To Clock modules. Steinberg's Cubase 6.5 is sending midi clock to the 553. The reset control and 1/96th pulse out to the Suit & Tie Guy Time Buffer is used along with a 1/16th pulse out to the 554 divider. From there various gate and trigger timings throughout the modular synth.

The clock divider is a temperamental beast but does offer some awesome control when in the mood. A delicate flower with a strong aromatic force."

MATRIXSYNTH-T at Cove Palisades State Park in Central Oregon

Two pics in via Brian Comnes aka Baghead.

Thank you Brian!

Click here for some previous posts contributed by Baghead.

Anyone note the difference between the Ts?

Don't read the following if you want to guess.

Aside from one being long sleeve and one being short, if you look closely you will see that the print is different. The bottom T is from Cafe Press when I first tried making Ts. The color and font size weren't quite to my liking so I switched to Gorilla Screen Printing which got them perfect. I believe Brian was the first person to ever order a MATRIXSYNTH T-Shirt. I'm pretty sure what's in the picture is actually the third and last try from Cafe Press before giving up with them. The first had small print and the green was off, the second was larger and the green was a bit aqua. The third, pictured, had more of a Full Sail green. The final with the correct green on top is from Gorilla.

Electronic Music Display at the Phoenix Musical Instrument Museum

via noti: "This weekend, I had a chance to check out the Musical Instrument Museum, which is just outside of Phoenix, AZ. If you're in the area and have a passion for music, I *highly* recommend checking it out! One of my favorite stops was at the Electronic Music display. Personally, I feel that a modular synthesizer is needed to accurately convey the history of the synthesizer, but I'm not about to donate my 22-space synthesizers.com system :)

If anybody reading the post is generous (read: crazy) enough to part with an old modular synth, they *do* take donations :)

Two-Way Wireless Control Editing of the Roland Juno-2 via iPad

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Roland Juno 2 iPad controller with Arduino Ethernet demo 1

YouTube Published on Jun 25, 2012 by BIM0X

"Demo of a custom device build around Arduino in order to control the Roland Alpha Juno 2 via Wifi.

The Arduino connects the Juno2 to the Wifi network of the iPad via an Airport router, an Arduino Ethernet shield and a midi shield.

I used Touch OSC to design the controller.
Touch OSC sends OSC messages (e.g /jun/DCO_Range 2.000) which are translated by the Arduino into Midi SysEx messages.

But the Arduino also translates Midi sysex messages from the Juno 2 into OSC messages (sort of loopback) so that when you change the patch on the Juno2, faders automatically move to the right position !

The code and detailled instructions will soon be published on http://4colors.free.fr
The control design mimics Roland PG300, but better !"

Harvestman Double Andore

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

"The Double Andore is a pretty crazy module, like all Harvestman gear. A dual attack/release, attack/sustain/release, looping function generator with combined VCAs and plenty of cross-modulation possibilities. And those attack/release curves are digitally generated, set independently of each other and can be set as either linear or exponential. Those VCA's distort your signal to boiling filth levels really easily, while still giving you plenty of "nice, well behaved" sounds too. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it! Anyway, yeah, it's really good, but it doesn't entirely fit with my style so hopefully it can go to someone who will appreciate it's charms."
