"Thanks to a lot of WCCC folks for their help in this one: Picozzi, Studio Guy, Holden, and Fluffer. My fiancee Lee-Ann has a major role. Eric Barbour of Metasonix has a good-sized role.
Lee-Ann pointed out that Satan doesn't appear anywhere in this one, but I'm pretty sure he had a major influence, as usual.

YouTube via bigcitymusic "Just when you thought that a Jomox kick couldn't have more attack the MBase 11 comes along! This beast features a cool new metal noise parameter which can add a great little ping to the attack of the kick. The new version also adds a potentiometer dedicated for adjusting the kick's sound-shaping parameters, making your tweaking faster and more convenient. The MBase 11 has all of the standard MBase features like user-savable preset slots, midi control of pitch for killer kick bass lines, built in LFO for modulation and more. Welcome to the House of JoMox! No the screen doesn't flash like this all the time. Just a video thing."
Remix, Record, Control dynamic live FX & beautiful visualizers
AND Stutter Edit™....
LIVE.
Create and explore stunning live remixes, FX and visuals with a true first-of-its-kind portable remix engine. Sonifi™ is the worlds first true audio and visual remix application and protocol. Created by electronic superstar BT, this application showcases futuristic new music and remixes of The Rose of Jericho from his forthcoming 2009 artist album.
Sonifi™ is a powerful, portable, real-time remix engine. There are an infinite number of permutations of remixes you can create, mix, save and share....live, and anywhere!!
For iPhone and iPod touch 3.0 users, a revolutionary new multi-player feature has been added. Jam Link gives 3.0 users the ability to link with a friend (via Bluetooth) and remix live....TOGETHER. The mixmaster selects control over "Beats and Bass" or "Melody and Harmony". Once JamLinked you and your buddy can remix, select tracks and Stutter Edit™ live. This is a first for any application, on any device.
In Sonifi™, four channels of four unique tracks allow extreme flexibility and remix possibilities. The (4x4 matrix of) tracks can be mixed, muted or soloed and contain four completely unique elements and arrangements per-channel. There are four tracks of ripping beats to choose from, four tracks of fat bass lines, four tracks of glitchy synths and FX, and four tracks of cutting edge melodies.
Everything in Sonifi™ happens in-time and on-beat; so making a mix is both fun and effortless. If you are a musician or DJ the sky is the limit! Currently, three discrete real time effects are controllable using the X/Y axis of the iPhone or iPod touch screen : Lo-Fi, resonant high pass filter, and resonant low pass filter.
There are mesmerizing visual elements that respond elegantly to user touch as well as the frequency and amplitude information of your remix. You are not just remixing, you're visualizing what you are creating.
Finally, Sonifi™ contains BT's patented Stutter Edit™ technology and is the first application to showcase to its abilities. Instead of using a mouse, USB device, or other input peripheral (like you would with a computer), your phone becomes an instrument!! Simply shake the phone in one of six vectorial directions (left, right, forward, backward, up, or down) and at the next 1/8th note the Stutter Edit plugin will perform an incredible micro-note or fill pattern repeat, some with release crashes and hits. Basically, you shake your phone and sound like a genius.
Endless fun ensues!
Planned upgrades will include downloadable Sonifi™ media packs containing other artists songs and remixes, new visualizer elements and band & artist links.
Let the live remixing BEGIN!!

This hoodie is a prototype project for the Lilypad Arduino, meant to inspire other applications. The hoodie was designed with purely artistic intentions and with absolutely no practical applications in mind.
YouTube via rukano "Almost the same as my other step sequencer demo, this time I used the multifaders on the bottom to add a bass line; The bass is not sampled, it's just a pulse waveform with filter; Thanks for the comments and rating;
YouTube via csvy "This is a quick demonstration of the new multitouch drum kit in Musical Pro, an application available in the Android Market. The multitouch requires a rooted G1 running JF1.4 or greater.
This is about the limit of the G1's support for multitouch: it can only detect 2 fingers, and if the buttons were any closer, the screen would be incapable of distinguishing the fingers from each other.
Sorry about the lack of quality (and rhythm). I had to film it using my laptop's built-in webcam, which is quite a bit more difficult than one would expect.
via Pea Hicks http://www.myspace.com/peahix "scored an elka synthex on craigslist this week and have been noodling around with the neato onboard sequencer, if y'all wanna have a listen. this is all real-time sequencer playback. drums on the last two tracks are courtesy my e-mu drumulator, which is driving the elka sequencer. a bit of an odd procedure to get these two to sync up- the results can be a bit unpredictable."

You might remember this one from this post. "The Fun Tuner v1.0 by Mr.Ugly. 2009. This one was named after MR.FUN, who put a soldering iron in my hand. Each Fun Tuner I make is going to be an evolution of the last. 2 Oscillators+NAND gates=grimy/sweepy/beepy tones."

I built a thingamakit the other day, so thought I'd try it out with the moogerfoogers. nothing serious, just havin' fun! The thingamakit works much better in the dark, but it sounds ok with sunlight, too!"

"The Microcon is a modern-day little analog monophonic synthesizer module
emulating the simple design and sound of the classic Roland TB-303 and SH-101
synths. They are made by Technosaurus, a Swiss company best known for their
high-end Selector modular synths. It is handmade using the same discrete
circuits found in its bigger brothers. The Microcon is a totally analog
table-top synth module that's slightly smaller than the original Roland TB-303.
It has one main oscillator capable of either sawtooth or square waveforms, just
like the TB-303. The addition of a sub-oscillator is more like SH-101, which can
help beef up your bass sounds. The analog lowpass filter is switchable as either
2-pole (12dB/oct) or 4-pole (24dB/oct), which is better than the TB-303 or
SH-101 offered! The LFO can modulate the filter cutoff frequency with either
triangle or square wave and the VCO can be modulated by square or triangle
waves. Simple attack and decay envelope controls and a Glide effect round out
this fairly simple to use and highly affordable 303 clone. The Microcon only
uses CV and Gate for being controlled externally. The Microcon is truly the
smallest analog synth available! A handful of fat sound and lots of knobs.

YouTube via judebuffum. Keyboard Cat returns. Via catsynth in the comments of this post. See that post if you haven't seen Keyboard Cat before. He rocks the synth. "PLEASE READ! Okay, so in hindsight I guess I should have searched to see if anyone else had done this idea. After I uploaded it, I saw that someone had. What's funny is that we both thought of the EXACT same video game Fail. I thought about changing the first part of the video, but to be truthful, that would almost be more dishonest. I do think I spent a great deal more time on mine, recreating the game play from scratch instead of using video capture from the game and the cat is a bit more "8-bit". The most noticeable difference though might be the excellent music created by Doctor Octoroc, he really nailed this one.
