Clavilux 2000 - Interactive instrument for generative music visualization

Clavilux 2000 - Interactive instrument for generative music visualization from Jonas Heuer on Vimeo.

"The Clavilux 2000 is an interactive instrument for generative music visualization, which is able to generate a live visualization of any music played on a digital piano. The setting of the installation consists of three parts: A digital piano with 88 keys and midi output, a computer running a vvvv patch and a vertical projection above the keyboard. For every note played on the keyboard a new visual element appears in form of a stripe, which follows in its dimensions, position and speed the way the particular key was stroke. Colours give the viewer and listener an impression of the harmonic relations: Each key has it's own color scheme and "wrong" notes stand out in contrasting colors. All stripes stay and overlap each other in an additive way, so at the end a kind of pattern remains – a summary of the music – which will be always unique since the notes of the composition aswell as the interpretation of the piano player are influencing the outcome. Furthermore the piano player can switch between the standart 2d view and an additional 3d view of the visualization while playing. — For more information jonasheuer.de/index.php/clavilux-2000/" via Gizmodo

Renoise 2.5

"Just in time for a new decade, Renoise gets an upgrade from executive suite to penthouse with a panoramic view. The Renoise Pattern Matrix, both a bird's eye view and a song editor, is the missing link that pushes Renoise's unique approach to music composition to the next level. It's the perfect companion to the "eyes on the details" appearance and capabilities of the Pattern Editor.

Renoise meta-devices (FX units that receive and transform parameters and other non-audio data) are now interconnectable across tracks. This opens the door to more modular approaches, like linking LFOs or key/audio signals all throughout your mix. Two new meta-devices round-up this "do anything" experience, giving the sound artist the freedom to connect and modulate all parameters with all others.

That's just the beginning. Vastly improved MIDI mapping, automated rendering of plugin instruments to samples, a native guitar & bass amp simulator FX, performance optimizations, GUI improvements and much more..."

EDP Wasp & Gnat Emulators for PC by Analog Synth Lab

via this auction
(sample player at the auction while up - it auto plays so I'm not embedding it)

"What Analog Synth Lab is all about is bringing the technology to you; those who are interested in making music and synthesizing but can't afford the old classic vintage synths or you just don't know where to start.

If you're a synth wizard or you're new to the whole thing; Analog Synth Lab will cater for your needs.

You can play the synths with your PC (qwerty) keyboard, a midi keyboard or a sequencer (both hardware and software sequencers supported) and tweak the knobs and relish in the sound of analog synthesizers.

If you have no knowledge about synthesizers then don't worry. There are lots of preset sounds so you can get playing straight away. And if you are feeling adventurous then twiddle with any of the knobs to see how it changes the sound.

Have a classic part of history in your computer and be a part of the electronic generation!"

"Ebay Exclusive! You will not find this product for sale anywhere else.

This synth, along with the ASL Little Flatty, has more features than any other emulator available.

The EDP Wasp is a cult classic. Original units are now fetching over £700-£800
The Wasp's younger brother, the Gnat, is also a classic and prices for a Gnat are around £400-£500.

The ASL Dream Plant brings together the Wasp & the Gnat in one complete software package.

The original EDP Wasp & the Gnat could be synced up together - which is what the ASL Dream Plant offers. A Wasp & a Gnat - in sync and just begging to be played.

So you are getting 2 classic synth emulations for 1% of the price you'd pay for the real thing.

Heard over countless records of the late 70's and early 80's - the Wasp was more suited to the "out there" and open minded folk.

Who before had seen a synthesizer that was yellow and black?!

If you like weird, raspy, ballsy sounds..then this is for you.

There's a reason why this synth is so notorious...that's because it sounds absolutely mental..and I absolutely love it!

And why did they call it the Wasp? Well, it sounds like a wasp...but the coolest wasp you've ever heard!

Key Features
* Modelled on EDP Wasp and Gnat hardware synths
* Multi mode Filter - Lowpass, Highpass and Bandpass
* Repeating Envelope Generators
* Unique mixer section..
* Analogue Delay (modelled on the Boss DM-2)"

It is a Pentium D805, one of the few CPUs at the time that could be overclocked to 4ghz. Not necessary though."

"Ensoniq FIZMO RealTime TransWave Synthesizer ~space machine! :)) here is the linkage for your easy journey :-))..
I just made this little demo of my FIZMO that im trying to sell for only $899. I recorded this demo by laying a handful of tracks with the FIZMO keyboard and nothing else.....just foolin around really, but havin fun.

i wanted to give you an idea of what this beast sounds like....amazing in the right hands :)) if you are a sound designer, a soundscaper, a cinematic soundtrack creator, then you need my FIZMO now!! go and buy as fast as you can cuz it wont last long at $899. its a steal for one this nice. AND for all you FIZMO heads out there, this puppy HAS the proper Voltage Regulator upgrade repair done by TheSoniq, the dude who used to work for Ensoniq before they went under. AND i have used the proper Power Adapter from the original Nintendo machine with all the proper specs. so, in other words, YES, this machine has all the electro necessities handled by me. i humbly advise you to not purchase a FIZMO if it hasnt been upgraded electronically. These came from Ensoniq with an under power Voltage Regulator as well as a wrong-speced external power supply. SO, you need the eletro upgrades. Check with all the FIZMO experts on line and you will see :)

This puppy has plenty of miles left in it and sounds like it was made in another world. its very Orphean! :) Aye!"

Esoteric Sequencer Prototype - Ambient Session

Esoteric Sequencer Prototype - Ambient Session from Rick Hawkins on Vimeo.

"A first jam with my latest project for the Lemur. It is a generative sequencer with nodes controlled by two cyclic waveforms that trigger notes as they move through defined zones. I have a little control over it as I can set the scale the notes are played in and which ones are able to be triggered. After that it's all generated by the interplay of the waveforms. This composition is very rough, this was only the first couple of hours of playing with it after developing the template."

"It has to be." TSF

YouTube via TheSynthFreq
"Hi. This is a new composition written 3.2.10. I wrote this song on a Yamaha DX-7 at an awesome vintage synth store (a heavenly place too!) here in Austin Tx. I had the chance to play the DX-7 and the awesome Roland Jupiter-6. This song is inspired by the classic "Full Tines" sound of the famous Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer. Synths used:
Roland D-50- synth patch
Yamaha Motif-6: DX-7 patch ("dark DX-7") Bass Drums
Roland Alpha Juno-1: TSF's E-guitar patch
This song was recorded at 120bpm, real time rec.
No editing, computers or vsts used. Just track by track.

Please Enjoy!
:) TSF"
