Timefrog+Analog 4+Octatrack Sampling = Beta Blocker (Cinema Scape)

Published on Jun 1, 2014 A Box In The Sea·12 videos

"The Timefrog is a completely unique gestural and sequential Midi interface. Olivier from Undead Instruments has created a genius little device that is unlike anything out on the market. I am using it to trigger two different sounds I made on the Analog 4. I sampled those plus a patch from the Alchemy iPad app into my Octatrack. I've chopped and mixied those while playing more from the Timefrog/A4 and Alchemy. Let me know if you have any questions."

The Timefrog is by Undead Instruments.

Timefrog 3, Turing Machine and Morphing Terrarium Make Asymetrical Atmospheres

Published on Mar 29, 2014 A Box In The Sea·5 videos

"The timefrog 3 by Undead Instruments is amazing. it is triggering Syplant while the Turing Machine and Maths are clocking the Morphing Terrarium, Phonogene, Echophon and modDemix. I'm using the + out of the TM Voltages to change the Oct, FM and Morph X of the MT. Let me know if you have any questions"

CouCou on MARS 火星日常- GayBird梁基爵 (7mins trailer)

Published on Oct 31, 2013

There's some interesting synth spotting in this one including some unique instruments by GayBird.
Pictured below you can see some of that gear along with an EMS SYNTHI and an Analogue Systems eurorack modular. Further below you'll find an image of the "Crispy Cloud", "a special guitar for new media electronic musician. Acoustic guitar got six strings and a resonator, while this custom-made cloud-shaped guitar got 70 buttons and a touch-screen device."  In the video you can also see a monome64, djtechtools MIDI Fighter and Ableton's Push. There's an Undead Instruments TimeFrog III at 2:53 and 3:17.

707 sequencing using a timeFrog

YouTube Published on Jul 30, 2012 by UNDEADINSTRUMENTS

"I recentky found an old TR707 in my vintage stuff, with broken start stop and shift buttons. The timeFrog allows to pass over a such situation with its direct MIDI adressing. Here is the second part, where I play with the sequencer to form advanced rythms, live editing the seq and then using the disc clock to get out from too square rythms.

two states chorus

YouTube Published on Jul 5, 2012 by UNDEADINSTRUMENTS

"Another Ableton setup running a polivoks kit, a simpler embedding a kalash sample and a bass synth.
Two timeFrog's features here shown:
-- the use of the two clocks, together and one by one, the disc clockruns at 0.6 bpm the seq one at 180bpm.
-- the cross MIDI configuration: the midi setting is shared between the disc and the seq and can be changed on the fly, here the change of the channels allows to change the sound with keeping the rythm patterns.

By chance this time, a better view of the lcd display, helps to understand what happens..
should be cut at 1:3, but something fun in drivng the frog make me always continue...

mzt midi clock altering using timefrog

YouTube Published on Jun 7, 2012 by UNDEADINSTRUMENTS

"This scrappy video shows Ableton Live playing the Turkish March with virtual strings, slave-synchronized to the clock generated by the timeFrog. Here is shown the merging between the sequencer MIDI clock and the disc MIDI clock. Clock manually altered at 1:02 then at 1:42. Of course, the disc direction is not taken in account, because one can not count down midi clock... Some notes assigned to the dis to enlight the disc clock. Some saturation added to increase drama (and because I have trouble with too clean sounds)."
