video upload by Intermynd Instruments

"In this livestream I walk through DS8 Drumstream, a drum machine and groovebox for the PlayStation Vita.

I cover the main features in the current build, including the 8 drum tracks, step sequencing, voice editing, per-step automation, pattern tools, insert effects, send effects, master effects, and some of the performance controls built around the Vita’s physical buttons.

DS8 is still in active development, so this is an early look at the workflow, sound, and overall direction of the project.

DS-8 - An 8 Voice Drum Synth For The PS Vita [ Drumstream ]

video upload by Intermynd Instruments

"DS8 Drumstream is a homebrew drum machine and advanced groovebox for the PlayStation Vita, built around fast step sequencing, real-time drum synthesis, automation, and hands-on performance using the Vita’s physical controls.

DS8 turns the Vita into a compact drum instrument with eight drum tracks, up to 64 steps per pattern, real-time drum voice generation, per-step automation, insert/send/master FX, and pattern tools including Euclidean rhythms and random generation. The sound engine is synthesis-based, with no samples or wavetables.

The project is currently in active development and the first public build is available as v0.1 for homebrew-enabled PS Vita consoles as a free download."

Additional details:

"DS8 Drumstream is a drum synthesizer and groovebox for the PlayStation Vita.

It turns the Vita into a compact drum machine for sketching ideas, building grooves, and performing anywhere. The app is built around eight drum tracks, a step sequencer with up to sixty-four steps, and direct control through the Vita’s physical buttons.

All sounds are generated in real time. No samples, no wavetables. Each drum voice can be shaped directly, with controls for tuning, decay, drive, pitch, noise, level, and more.

The sequencer supports mute, solo, per-step automation, pattern length control, step copy and paste, metronome, and pattern generation. Individual steps can have their own parameter changes, allowing for accents, ghost notes, tuned percussion, glitch fills, and evolving rhythms.

Pattern generation includes Euclidean rhythms, random patterns, alternating steps, every-N triggers, and preset templates.

DS8 Drumstream is currently in active development. This is an early v0.1 release, so bugs, missing features, performance issues, and interface changes should be expected."
