Sequencomat V1 versus V3

YouTube via tonvibration | August 08, 2010

"I compare different versions of the Midi stepsequencers I have made in MaxMSP for the Jazzmutant Lemur.
V1 is a free module you can download from the JM user area: http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemuruser_m...
V3 is a paid module. You can get more information here: http://www.tonvibration.de/Sequencoma...
I cutted V2 in this comparison, which is also a paid module and lay somewhere in between, you can get more info here: http://www.tonvibration.de/extra/Sequ...
I do not cover all functions of the sequencers.... e.g. I do not mention the rollpad and random function (on both) or the CCmodule and groove tab (V3only). You can see more videos on my channel or have a look at my site: http://music-interface.com
I did a lot of work for free and shared with the Lemur community, it is just the more complex stepsequencer, where I charge money for. (btw: you pay for the maxpatch and support, you can get the naked Lemur template for free ;) )"

Michael Czajkowski - People The Sky - Buchla 100 Album

"Although the name Michael Czajkowski is virtually unknown outside of certain academic music circles, his “People The Sky” album was an advance reconnaissance into the burgeoning synthesizer scene of the late sixties. Ignorance of his work is understandable, as his entire back catalogue, comprised of just this one solo album plus session work on Buffy Sainte-Marie’s “Illuminations” album, are but a pair of tiny blips in the universe of recorded electronic music. But the sounds and emotions he conjured up on these two albums were daring and exquisitely handled non-linear excursions rendered in a newly-discovered language that had only recently been invented. One cannot attempt to recount the story of Czajkowski without that of avant-garde composer Morton Subotnick, folk rock star Buffy-Sainte Marie and one of the earliest electronic keyboards, the Buchla synthesizer that linked them together without at least a cursory overview of the events that led to these pioneers and that unique musical apparatus crossing paths during their artistic pursuits of the late sixties."

DSI Tetra + Moog FreqBox + EHX MicroSynth

"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie. To be fair, this is hardly a demo. I am just trying some possible sounds made by Dave Smith Instruments Tetra passing through a Moog FreqBox and an Electro-Harmonix Microsynth. The DSI Tetra is playing always the same simple monophonic sound. As it is my very first attempt to do so, the results are certainly not to be taken too seriously. Enjoy !

Circuit Bent Concertmate 350 Keyboard by freeform delusion

" eecouk | August 07, 2010

A neat little Keyboard exactly the same as a Caso PT-10. The classic VL Tone sounds are here and it is very bendable!

Mods added:

Blue Plastic cut from another keyboard which already had holes, so i put the controls there.

Mono mini jack output (speaker removed)

Switchable Pitch Up (way way way Up!!) and Down

Four Switches produce distortion, nice lo-fi sounds, tonal changes and feedback when used in combination or one at a time. Bottom right toggle switch can be used as a body contact to create a vibrato effect, this is when the pitch down is switched on.

Red momenatary button for feedback one shots"
