Explaining the PlayFader CV/MIDI Sequencer

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this tutorial/demo I’ll explain the unique way the Playfader CV/MIDI sequencer works, showing the basic keystrokes you need to be able to make, erase, transpose, mute and apply temporary effects to sequences. I’ll also keep the shortcuts onscreen so you don’t need to remember them.

I'm using the Dreadbox NYX, Music Thing Workshop and Roland T-8 here. T-8 supplies clock to the PlayFader. PlayFader sends CV/Gate to the two analog synths.

Bloop Group - New Synth Meet in Dublin City, IE

This one is in via myVolts

"Bloop Group is an evening for electronic musicians + producers of all levels - from the mildly curious to leathery old pros - to hang out, test out kit, and make music, culminating in a structured collaborative jam where everyone gets involved.

There’ll be a mixing desk + monitors, and kit to play with by myVolts / Elektron / Korg / Dreadbox / Roland / Chase Bliss / PlayFader / Sismo + more, plus whatever kit attendees bring on the night.

Inspired by Bristol’s Bleep Klub, Bloop Group is less about the gear, and more about having fun and making music together, in a low-stress, playful environment.

Bloop Group #01 takes place in Dublin City, IE, Friday 29th Nov from 6.30pm to 9.30pm and is brought to you by Caroline from myVolts and Gary dj_doo_dat.

We hope to make this a monthly event, so reach out to Caroline if you wanna get involved!"

Borderlands Granular // Tetrax // Wsyn // Dradd // Data Bender // Just Friends

video upload by Lesjamusic

"I often find myself using Borderlands Granular on the iPad as a sketech pad for new ambient compositions. It's such a great use of the screen and the touchpad - it might just be my favourite granular instrument.

I wanted both Mannequins modules to run through Shakti and Dradd, and so I realised that Quadratt could be used as a small submixer too - super helpful.

Here's what's happening:
Borderlands Granular ➡️ Xcelon
Norns ➡️ Wsyn ➡️ Quadratt ➡️ Shakti ➡️ Dradd ➡️ Xcelon
Nerdseq ➡️ Just Friends ➡️ Quadratt ➡️ Shakti ➡️ Dradd ➡️ Xcelon
Tetrax ➡️ Data Bender ➡️ Xcelon
The Xcelon send and return channels go to Sealegs and Bib. Playfader controls p1 and p2 on Dradd, which is in granular mode"

PlayFader - Unique Twin Fader Performance Device - Sonic LAB Review

video upload by sonicstate

"Technomadic reviewed the *Play All Day Play Fader* , a colorful and eye-catching sequencer and MIDI controller with twin faders .

The Play Fader features a pair of faders and eight colorful buttons that allow for two-channel note or CV entry and MIDI functionality. The unit includes long-throw faders, tactile buttons, and six mini jacks for CV and gate channels. It supports synchronization through clock or MIDI.
The Play Fader is made from recycled plastic, making it eco-friendly, and the packaging is compostable.

The device can control various parameters with ease, offering features like scales, user-defined settings, and menu buttons for deep functions. It allows for real-time performance adjustments and modulation through various buttons like Fun, Time, Scale, Clear, and more.

Technodadic demonstrated how to create basic note patterns, set user-defined scales, perform basic sequencing, and use performance controls like roll, slice, and bend. He also showcased the MIDI functionalities, allowing for note and CC messages on different channels.

In conclusion, the Play Fader is certainly unique with an innovative approach to sequencing. While it lacks a USB port, its ability to inspire creativity and integrate into live performances makes it a valuable tool., although it is certainly a little on the expensive side."

Will It Ambient? Neutral Labs Elmyra 2

video upload by Lesjamusic

"Welcome to 'Will It Ambient?', a new series of videos directly inspired by ‪@collectoremitter‬ 's 'Will it Shoegaze?' series. First up is an easy 'yes!' - the Neutral Labs Elmyra 2 drone synth. I bought this synth today from Elevator Sound, and wanted to get straight to the heart of the face melting. Help is here from ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ Mood MK II, ‪@somasynths‬ Cosmos, and ‪@GoPlayAllDay‬ PlayFader.

Fun with Faders... It's the PlayFader

video upload by Starsky Carr

"iiiit's the PLAYFADER from Play All Day. Playing should be fun and this has it in abundance.

It's a 2 channel CV and MIDI controller/sequencer that's been designed for interaction and fun with a few tricks up its sleeve ... no leaving your settings to run for an entire track here. Faders are far too tempting - so wiggle them!"

PlayFader Ambient Exploration #3, Moog DFAM and Friends

video upload by MATTHS

"Another jam with the Play All Day PlayFader exploring more ambient spaces. This time PlayFader is sequencing the @MoogSynthesizers DFAM but each channel is set to do different lengths so that the melodies intertwine. The voices then pass through the @Endorphines Squawk Dirty filter while Rings and the @MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Spectraphon add both low end and top end sparkle. The @knobula6211 Pianophonic is triggered via MIDI from PlayFader to provide ambient chords. Lashings of reverb of course and of course!

Enjoy!"

Bring back Rings! PlayFader Ambient Exploration

video upload by MATTHS

"Bring back rings! Yes, you know 'those ambient rings jams'! This is something new for me, moving away from my hard techno background, I wanted to explore the more ambient world once again. Armed with the Play All Day PlayFader (which is awesome) and has been so much fun to play with, I decided to build and dedicate a small case for more ambient noodles.

Here the PlayFader is sequencing everything.
MIDI is going to the Knobula Pianophonic while CV and Gate is going to Mutable Instrument Rings. Im playing with the Fun ability of the PlayFader to make more interesting loops within loops and there is lashing of reverb of course.

Enjoy!"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Play All Day - Playfader Performance Sequencer

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Hadj from Play All Day introduced the *Playfader*, a two-channel CV and MIDI sequencer and looper designed for live jamming. This innovative device features faders for voltage control, play buttons for gates, and ratchets for creating intricate rhythms. The Playfader's interface is optimized for on-the-fly experimentation, with top row settings and bottom row action buttons. The display, reminiscent of old speak-and-spell screens, provides clear communication and a retro aesthetic.

Hadj emphasized the Playfader's versatility, with the ability to control Eurorack, MIDI synths, and more, all from one device. In addition, the Playfader's sustainable design includes a recycled plastic case and a power cable that allows users to power the device from a variety of sources. The development team created a powerful and intuitive interface that encourages experimentation and play. The Playfader is now available for purchase and comes with a free tutorial for early adopters.

Playfader Price: 399 USD"
