Ultimate CPC MIDI Card Demo - Line-Out Recording


video upload by Michael Wessel

"A Line Out-recording of the Ultimate CPC MIDI Card - Eye in the Sky.
The X2GS sounds super smooth and offers the best sound quality - you can get one from Serdashop: https://www.serdashop.com/X2GS
Please contact me if you'd like to purchase an Ultimate MIDI Card for the CPC.
https://github.com/lambdamikel/BluePi... The DSK file of this song can be found in the Github repo:
https://github.com/lambdamikel/BluePi... Enjoy!"

Some additional info via Michael:

here is another update from the Ultimate MIDI Card project for the Amstrad CPC!

By now, I have a Python .MID file converter so that I can create MIDI songs for the Ultimate MIDI card on the PC / Mac. Previously, I was recording the complete song .MID MIDI stream in realtime with the CPC. The MIDI message stream was created with a MID file player such as MIDIBAR running on the PC, and then simple fed into the CPC via a USB-2-DIN MIDI cable. For complex multi-track and highly polyphonic MIDI, this was a bit at the limit of what the CPC and BluePill microcontroller can handle, and thus sometimes resulted in dropped or hangind notes for complex MIDI. Hence, a more stable solution was required - the Python-based converter.

Here is a demo of complex converted .MID song played back from CPC memory. Most CPC-users have 512 KBs of extended RAM memory available - the DK'tronics 512 KB RAM expansion is a "standard" even for contemporary CPC RAM expansions. My CPC "converted .MID" player supports 512 KBs of RAM - this is large enough to fit this ~ 96 KBs large BIN song into memory; enjoy the smooth sound of the X2GS sound module plugged into the S2-compatible header at the back of the card."

Soma Lyra-8 ambient drone synthesizer Tutorial lesson 1: Overview


video upload by EthanJamesMusic

"This is a tutorial series for anyone who wants to learn how to use the Soma Lyra-8 to its fullest extent. The synth is simply one of the best ambient drone synthesizers and is capable of making some wonderful, beautiful, ugly, complex textures. I've tried to break things down into small videos that are easy to mentally digest and apply to your own electronic music. We will be exploring both east coast tonal and west coast avant-garde uses of the synthesizer. This first video shows an overview of the instrument and gives you a place to start. Please leave a comment with any questions or requests and a like if this was helpful."

DB-01 firmware update 1.08: Rotate sequence


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Firmware update 1.08 has suddenly made the DB-01 random pattern generator a whole lot better. It's now possible to 'rotate sequence' - in other words, change the start point. It's a little thing but makes a huge difference. In this video I take a quick look at the new feature, try it out on a 32-step random pattern, and finish with a guitar solo.

The Teaching Tool That Makes LoFi Beats To Study To


video upload by HAINBACH

"In this video I focus on the beauty of an obsolete class room tool, magnetic card audio recorders. Made by many companies like Eiki and Bell & Howell, these are basically the Instagram of magnetic tape recorders. Originally meant for learning languages, these have since found use for LoFi, noise and experimental music. Many of these come with line outs, mic ins and have variable speed and offer endless creative possibilities: scratching, looping, half-speed, reverse. All that with a very nice and rather deep sound, way more interesting than many cassette recorders."

The Smallest Midi Controller EVER


video upload by Gabe Miller Music

"I test and review the Noise Machine (NMSVE) by THIS.IS.NOISE inc, the smallest midi controller I could possibly find."



via this.is.NOISE

this.is.NOISE inc is a start-up company founded by two brothers from Toronto, Ontario.

We build unconventional MIDI controllers that are set on changing the where, when, and how music is made.

NMSVE stands for: Noise Machine Straight Vibin' Edition. NMSVE is an ultra portable BLE MIDI controller that is used with MIDI software. We believe NMSVE works best with mobile devices (iOS, iPadOS, Android), however NMSVE can connect to just about any platform - even hardware synths using Bluetooth adapters!

Common use cases: triggering samples, controlling FX, wireless live sets, MIDI looping, lighting + audio, and of course - making beats on the go!

Additional details:

NMSVE
Noise Machine Straight Vibin' Edition

powerful, yet portable!

The main idea behind NMSVE was to create a portable MIDI controller made for the modern beat maker.

A device that's fun to play, compact, and functional that DOESN'T take up valuable desk space.

NMSVE works by wirelessly connecting to MIDI capable software on your smartphone, laptop, or PC/MAC via Bluetooth.

Consisting of 12 buttons, a knob, and a slider, NMSVE allows you to choose from 12 MIDI channels and offers 3 modes of use... all in a case that's smaller than your wallet!

Keystep Pro, with Korg Volca Bass and Keys, Akai tomcat fun with visuals jam for Jamuary 31 2022


video upload by Expanding Sound

"Well, I was able to accomplish my goal and hit every single day of the month. I hope you enjoyed some of these as I had a great time working on them. Todays jam was something different I had been wanting to try. Its very simple, and way more about the visuals. I liked the idea of having the the glitch effects play at the same time as Im jamming, so I shot them to my projector and filmed the silhouette. I need to fool around with getting my idea for the effect perfect but I liked how it came out. In my mind I was thinking of the old Earth Wind and Fire videos with the trails everywhere they moved. I always loved those and all kinds of trippy effects really. They're fun. Hope you enjoyed this as well as my Jamuary feed. Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Which isn't all that different ha ha :)"

"Mare lunaris" a modular composition by GATTOBUS

"Headphones or a good pair of speakers recommended.
This is a live recording of me playing withy my modular.
I'm playing over two overlapping sequences, each with different measures.
This patch is quite simple, just a DPO drone, Bresnso going into a stereo filter (Popple) with Falistri used as double-envelope. Everything was driven by Fraptools Usta sequencer. Some randomness here and there using Fraptools Sapèl."

Insta Chord Demo & Review


video upload by musictrackjp

This should brighten your morning. This appears to be the first post to feature the Insta Chord hardware instrument. I'm not finding any additional info on it online. If you know feel free to leave a comment or reach out. Note there is also an InstaChord MIDI Processing Plugin "that helps you play chords and chord progressions faster and easier." I don't believe they are related.
