4WAY TENORI TEA PARTY Quartet!

YouTube via VJFranzK — April 13, 2010 — "FOUR Tenori style instruments all share a jam (and toast?) at this Mad Tea Party of ambient bleeps and toots.

It could have been "a battle", but it turned out more like a friendly party. ;-)"

Bliptronome ( Monome + Bliptronic + Arduino )

YouTube via mutepg58 — April 07, 2010 — "First test of my bliptronome. A poor man's Monome built from Think Geek's Bliptronic 5000 toy + a custom Arduino board by Wil Lindsay. I filmed the whole build process and will hopefully post it soon."

"Shure you know the Bliptronic5000® or the Tenori-On™. If the first one lacks MIDI and the second one is too expensive for you, you might try this VST-version of a matrix step sequencer.

Every column corresponds to one step, each line represents a note. Just click the buttons to enable the notes to be played. The orange line runs thru while playing. Select the number of steps to play (2-16), the speed in relation to the host clock, the direction (forward, backward, random etc.). Blip2000 outputs MIDI notes, so you can use your favourite synth (-plugin) as the sound source. MIDI channel, note length and velocity can be set.
With the fields on the left side you can adjust any scale to be played - or use Blip2000 as a drum sequencer!"

BLIPTRONIC 5000 & KAOSS vs AURORA vs DS10 Plus - Casual Ambient Cafe Jam

YouTube via VJFranzK
"Testing out the Bliptronic 5000 with a Mini Kaoss Pad for effects, vs two newly released gadget based soft synths - KORG DS10 Plus ( on Nintendo DSi) and Aurora ( on Windows Mobile Smartphone ) - just a casual jam set up on a table at the cafe, but the people, at first skeptical at the few beeps that begun it were won over by this Tenori esque soundscape."

Roland TR 606 + Bliptronic 5000

YouTube via cosmohelectrastudio
"tr 606 trigerring the Bliptronic 5000.
You can't trigger the notes of the Bliptronic, only the start of its sequence, so you have to run the TR at the same speed of ones of the BPM presets of the Bliptronic, or play with the differences of speeds !

At the beginning of the video, I play at 120 BPM (TR 606 is slave of the midi clock of the RX 5 via the KMS 30 midi to din sync 24 converter), after I let the 606 at 120 BPM and change the speed of the bliptronic."

"Bliptronic 5000 gets it's first test recreating one of my classic songs! Nintendo DSi comes along to help with tha beatz.

I guess this has evolved into a "Chiptune Reggae Hip Hop" song? And these devices are highly appropriate for that.

You may soon see me playing this at shows with a similar, but much FLASHIER synth... hmmmmm...

And of course, 10x as many vocal effects"

"Little improvised thing with the 606 and the bliptronic.

You can run the trigger outputs on the 606 to the "link" input port on the 5000 to trigger it."

Bliptronic 5000 & Kaoss Pad 3

YouTube via psychopath3000
"Here's the wonderful new toy from Think Geek, the Bliptronic 5000, with a little added talk modulation from the lovely KP3. Although the Bliptronic is basically an extremely simple step-sequencer, it looks and feels great (surprisingly, as I thought it would be really light and extremely breakable) and is very therapeutic to play on.

Has anyone else got the problem of that annoying drone when using headphones or line out? Please assure me I don't have a faulty bliptronic...

"Yay! This thing was a pain to get back together due to the limited space on the inside but I made it work. I'd recommend anybody who plans on bending one of these to

1. Be very careful, I fried an IC by not being careful the first time and it became basically useless. This is my second one.

2. Make a breakout box rather than mounting the controls on the synth itself... I found a lot more inside of this thing but had to just keep what I thought were the best bends since there wasn't enough room for almost anything else :/

Information on the mods have been posted here: http://tinyurl.com/bliptronic5000bends

Share your bends! What good is it to keep knowledge of discovery all for yourself?! If you do use my bends I'd appreciate being credited :] Finding your own bends is so much more gratifying so make sure to poke around for yourself, too."

"A modified Bliptronic 5000. I used a Getlofi Precision timer kit to replace the internal crystal clock, which results in some nice pitch bends- the sounds are samples played off a digital ROM chip.

I also found a nice bend point on the audio IC that results in a harmonic drone.

Also, I'm using a HighlyLiquid MD24 kit to send sync pulses to the Bliptronic from Ableton Live, which keeps it in lockstep with some programmed drums."
