iPolysix How To Disactivate Pop Up Window for Live Automation

Published on May 8, 2013 Mee Zanook·36 videos

"An iPolysix user wishes that he can work live automation without being distracted
by the pop up automation window,Mee Zanook works this out.."

I thought this was an interesting example of how knobs on the ipad or any multitouch surface can actually be more useful for real time control than physical knobs. You can select multiple knobs to control and move away to a more comfortable position while still controlling them. You can do this on most fixed hardware including controllers for soft synths on a PC.

Mutemath performs Blood Pressure live in the Moog Sound Lab

Published on May 8, 2013 MoogMusicInc·238 videos

"Back in 2011 Mutemath stepped into the Moog factory to record a Moog Sound Lab Session, here they transform "Blood Pressure" from their 2011 LP "Odd Soul".

For those of you curious about the instrumentation:

"Blood Pressure" fades in with Darren playing pulsing bass lines in the verse and higher etherial notes on Animoog, being controlled by a Minimoog Voyager.

Paul sings and plays a Little Phatty Stage II, holding out elongated single lines while opening and closing the Filter Cutoff knob with the Resonance set high.

Roy uses his Minimoog Voyager Select Series for low rumbling bass to hold the foundation.

Darren plays the Trap-Kat, triggering 3 Minimoog Voyager Rack Mounts through an MF-104Z Analog Delay for rhythmic echo.

NEXUS TEST (5) WITH KORG SQ10 SEQ

Published on May 8, 2013 macbethsynthesizers·82 videos

"When I'm testing gear that I'm designing- it's quite exciting!....sometime I have to record/vid. Here is three of the NEXUS (prototype) being driven by a Korg SQ-10 sequencer- the fourth osc is cross modding the higher pitched square wave osc. It's great fun running a three track analogue sequencer into this thing! Spacey effects are as usual with this device- the Dual Tape Delay Simulators- no other effects! Today- on screen- I basically finished the synthesizer. I'm looking forward to submitting the data to manufacture next week...! This btw is basically two different experiments filmed at different times..."

Mobile Music Making at the Berlin Summer University of the Arts

"App Music: Mobile Music Making
With Matthias Krebs July 29th – August 2nd, 2013

For quite a while now, making music with apps on smartphones and tablets has been more than simply a novelty. Some excellent music apps offer innovative digital musical instruments to the users. Additionally, digital music production has started to change. These apps already allow remarkable musical results, as demonstrated by the first serious album productions (e.g. “The Fall” by Gorillaz) and professional stage performances (e.g. by Jordan Rudess or the DigiEnsemble Berlin).

The summer school seminar will be a composition and sound workshop, in which participants will try out perspectives and potentials of “mobile music.” A range of different sounds and musical compositions will be developed in groups and discussed in a plenary session. Results of the interactive creative activities will be presented in a public performance at the c-base.

Starting with an overview of the different music apps, platforms, devices and interfaces, musical practices will be explored in the creative laboratory.Project groups will develop several performances and productions. The (partial) results will be presented in the workshop by the end of the last day. Additionally, a joint rehearsal with the musicians of the DigiEnsemble Berlin is scheduled. The last two days will be used to prepare the public performance in the c-base.

Central questions are:
• Can you express emotion and meaning with mobile music apps?
What possibilities are offered by mobile sensor controlled devices (such as smartphones and tablets) for music production and for future use as
musical instruments?
• Which musical forms, fields of application and performing practices can be shaped by music apps?

Participants
The workshop addresses interested parties as well as musicians, sound artists and music technologists, who are attracted by making music with digital sensor controlled devices and who are seeking an interactive exchange with others regarding new musical forms. At the same time, the workshop addresses composers and creative individuals (from the field of marketing/media production), who are keen on creating film material and background music for media productions.

Participants may certainly play on their own devices in the workshop, however, additional devices, peripheral equipment and amplifiers will also be provided.

Matthias Krebs is a music educator, physicist and opera singer. For many years now, he has participated in several theater productions as a sound artist and composer. He founded the DigiEnsemble Berlin at the Berlin Career College in 2010. Today, it is the first professional music ensemble, which is regularly performing mobile music on physical stages. Further, Krebs delves into the field of mobile music making in his blog as well as in several music article publications and in his current dissertation.

date: July 29th-August 2nd 2013
place: UdK Berlin, Bundesallee 1-12
fee: 400 € (from June 10th 2013: 420 €) No. of participants: 12 to 15
language: English
application deadline: July 1st 2013
Online registration: www.udk-berlin.de/summer-courses"

Macbeth X-Series Dual EG/VCA

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Two great full ADSR envelopes with the absolutely sweetest sounding integrated VCA. In full disclosure, I owned this module for about one week before I accidentally plugged it in incorrectly which partially impacted one of the envelopes and one of the knobs. The module was professionally repaired, recalibrated and tested and is now back like new. Physically, it's mint! Initially I wasn't sure how long it would take to get it repaired so I bought a second one (and had a custom modification added) so I no longer need the original. The repaired module functions just as it did when I first got it, so this is a chance to get one of these for a fraction of the price! MSRP for this module is $699.

Manufacturer's production description:

Crucial to the filtering and final output of any synthesizer are the envelope generators. There are various types of EGs in different designs and some are simple- some more complex. The X-series Dual EG employs a classic ADSR design. Using totally discrete parts- the switch on timing for this module can be very fast. The X-series Dual EG was designed to have three different ranges of operation- fast (which is well snappy), medium which is standard for most analogue synthesizers and slow which is great for long drawn out rise and fall times- perfect for slow evolving ambient music.

As the name suggests, this is a dual envelope generator. Typically one would use the first EG to control the cutoff frequency of a voltage controlled filter and the second EG to control the output, or volume of a voltage controlled amplifier. It was thought important to add a built in ‘utility’ VCA for that final output. The VCA, like most of the circuitry in this module, is a discrete transistor based design that adds that extra clarity to the final output.

Listing includes module, bus power connector and screws."

"In this demo the Kawai R-50e is doing the kick and the orch hits, DrumStation is doing the other drum sounds (plus an additional layered kick under the R-50e), and the EM-1 is sequencing the Novation + playing the bass and melody. The track itself was mixed on an Alto AMX-220 mixer with an old Washburn analog delay on a mixer send."
