Above & Beyond - You got to go (Kebu remix)

"This is a remix I made for a competition. If you like it, please follow this link and vote for it by pressing "spin" (requires registration):
http://www.beatportal.com/remix/detail/ab-you-got-to-go-kebu-remix/
I didn't plan to make any more videos before my upcoming album is ready, but I stumbled upon a competition to remix Above & Beyond's "You got to go". Since I've recently discovered Anjunabeats and their great trance compilation Worldwide 03, which I've been spinning almost every day now for two weeks, I just had to take the time to give it a shot!
I saved only the vocals (sung by Zoë Johnston) from the original track and remade all music using only analog synths. The analog synths and analog drum machines were controlled in realtime by a MIDI sequencer and mixed together with the vocal using an analog mixer and hardware effects.
Equipment used: Korg Mono/Poly, Polysix, Poly-61; Roland Juno-60, Alpha Juno, TR-808 (w. MIDI); Moog Source; Oberheim Matrix 6R; Vermona DRM1 Mk III; Electro Harmonix Small Stone; Boss BD-2 (H2O mod), DD-3; Lexicon MPX500; DBX 290; Emagic AMT8; M-Audio Midisport 8x8/s; Alesis iO26; Cubase SL 1.06; Allen & Heath GS1; Yamaha S30 (as MIDI keyboard); Doepfer MCV1; Kenton Pro 2.

Nektar PANORAMA DAW CONTROLLER KEYBOARD for Reason 6
"Reason 6 is here! Need a controller?
Panorama is our vision of how a great controller should work. Yes, there are many 'generic' controllers on the market already but we have yet to find one that satisfies our criteria of operating the software, as if it’s hardware - That’s Panorama.
Panorama uses a communication protocol that has been custom designed for Reason 6, putting control - every control - at your fingertips. There's nothing generic about this controller. Panorama really does access all areas.
Here you get the chance to read early information. We’ll reveal more and more snippets of Panorama up until release."
"Panorama allows you to gain access to Reason’s mixer at the touch of a button. Here you see the Reason mixer channels assigned to be operated by each of Panorama’s controls. The display gives you an accurate overview of what parameter each control is assigned to as well as current value state. Let’s look at the display screen in some more detail."
"The mixer channel strips in Reason are comprehensive and like the real world hardware - quite long! Panorama breaks the channel strip down in to manageable localized sections, accessible at the push of a button. From the mixer menu described in Part 1, you have access to EQ, Dynamics, Inserts and Sends across the buttons below the display. "

Soil of the Sun
nonlinearity II
"Continued studies in nonlinearity, this time using cross-coupled XR-VCO [Thomas Henry] oscillators, Serge smooth/stepped generators and random voltages from the Wogglebug run through a series of Buchla Low Pass Gates and plotted on the oscilloscope. Recorded 14.09.11 at the Danish Institute for Electro/acoustic Music, Aarhus. Reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's action paintings, mid-century Modernism and a time before the information machines took over. A sketch quickly realized in the dark with improvised tripod and bad, in-camera microphone. To be expanded. Watch with the lights off."
"After touring 3 weeks with 25 Kg of heavy metal synthesizer in a suitcase, I came home wanting something a bit lighter and simpler. My back-to-basics approach uses one SoundBox built for workshops with gypsy children and Afghan refugees in Hungary a few months ago, one contact mic, a Germanium transistor distortion pedal and 10 years worth of found objects collected on trips around the world.
At the heart of this video lies the concept of nonlinearity, that most basic building block of chaos theory and the wonderful complexities of our natural world. The microphone/speaker loop forms a system into which the nonlinear irregularities of 9V electronics, beads, springs, moss, shells and bits of bone produce unique bifurcations and attractors. Shaking things up a bit resets the system and new chaotic patterns begin to emerge..."
Star Labs iTar - turn your iPad into a guitar on Kickstarter
via Kickstarter
"Our project is designed for musicians, guitar heroes, electronic artists, iPad junkies and hackers looking for a fun and easy way to take their show on the road. At it's heart the device is a button-based guitar fretboard (Starr Labs patented fingerboard) integrated with a dock for the iPad which will transform the tablet into a 21st century musical instrument we call the iTar (tm).
Our fingerboard has been battle-tested and proven for years to be a professional-quality electronic music instrument. Our fingerboard has been used on instruments we've built for the likes of Vernon Reid (of the endlessly awesome Living Color), the Chemical Brothers, Pendulum, Linkin Park, Lou Reed, and many TV/film studios. Check out the gallery at www.starrlabs.com to see the high quality instruments we've been building around this impressive technology for years. Our line of Ztars and Z-boards are each custom built by hand, from scratch."

- Outputs can be over-driven
- Both linear and exponential CVs
- Discrete Class-A VCA circuitry

MFB DRUM-01 BD/SD 501
via this auction
"*2 analogue drum-sounds (Kick, Snare)
*dynamic trigger-inputs
*Kick with Attack and Decay controls
*Snare with Tune, Noise and Decay controls
*separate output for integrated digital Noise Generator
The DRUM-01 revives the kick- and snare sounds of the legendary seventies drum-machines MFB-301/302 as well as the model MFB-501. Their unique sound is based on digital C-MOS gates that produce less distortion than conventional OpAmp’s and therefore sound softer.
Bass- and snare can be triggered thru individual inputs. However, triggering does not need to take place with conventional analogue or digital signals only. You may as well use drum-pads or piezo- and dynamic microphones. Separate sensitivity controls adjust the input gain. Dynamic triggering will not only affect the volume but also attack and decay parameters.
DRUM-01 offers the following functions:
Kick: Attack produces a short impulse sound that is mixed with the kick drum signal to enhance its percussive character. Decay defines the length of the kick – a parameter that was only adjustable inside the MFB-501.
Snare: Tune controls the tonal part of the snare sound while noise controls the atonal part. Decay defines the length of the noise part after triggering.
Noise Out: This separate jack outputs the unfiltered signal of the digital noise generator. Use it in combination with other modules to create hi-hats, claps or cymbals.
The module has a width of 40 mm (8 TE)."
MFB DRUM-03 HH/CY501
via this auction
"The DRUM-03 module revives the cymbal, closed- and open hihat sounds that were originally found in MFB’s drum-machines MFB-301/302 and later on in model MFB-501.
DRUM-03 complements DRUM-01 and DRUM-02 modules to a complete MFB old-school beatbox drum-set.
Just like the other MFB drum modules, DRUM-03 has that specific MFB-sound that derives from analogue sounding digital C-MOS gates. These units work with less distortion compared to typical op-amps and therefore sound softer.
Hihat and cymbal accept different trigger signals at their inputs. These don’t necessarily need to be analogue or digital trigger signals of a step-sequencer but can also derive from drum pads, piezo- or dynamic microphones. The two sens-controls will individually adjust the input sensitivity. Dynamic triggering will not only affect the volume of the sound but slightly also attack and decay parameters.
DRUM-03 offers the following functions:
Hihat: The sound source for the hihat is a digital noise generator that is sent into a bandpass filter. Two parameters quality and filter offers different sound variations. Decay controls the duration of the open hihat sound and also affects the closed hihat’s decay slightly.
Cymbal: The cymbal sound uses the same combination of digital noise generator and bandpass filer as the hihat section. Here, only the bandpass frequency can be altered. Decay sets the decay time of the cymbal with a range that is almost equal to the open hihat section. Accordingly, the cymbal can also be used as a second hihat sound. With a shorter decay time it may complement the groove as a half open hihat.
The module has a width of 40 mm (8 TE)."
