"Simple Minimal Tech-Dub Patch.

LFO triggers Tuch Seq & ENV. ENV goes to VCF and makes floatable BD sound. VCO controlled by Touch Seq makes click sequence. Everything from the output goes to 2nd delay and returns back to 3rd channel which adds atmosphere in second part of the video. That's it..."

Details on the Palm Sounds MIDI Thing

You might remember the teaser video from Palm Sounds previously posted here. Details are now in.

Via Palm Sounds:

"We call it MIDI Thing for two reasons.

It's a thing ...

It does MIDI, in fact, it only does MIDI

Which is why it's a ... MIDI Thing!

So, what does it actually do? Good question. Here's an overview:

MIDI Thing is a portable battery powered MIDI looper. It takes a MIDI signal in on any channel and puts the same MIDI data out. So, to give you an example:

If you record a 4 bar bassline on channel 1 it'll continue to play that on channel 1 until you tell it to stop. You then record a chord sequence on channel 2, and it'll put that out on channel 2 as well as the bassline on channel 1. You can do this on all 16 MIDI channels and it'll keep on playing everything until you erase a channel, or switch it off!

It listens on all channels simultaneously so you don't need to do any switching around and it has a very simple interface. In fact, it has just 2 switches on it. One is the on/off switch, the other puts the device into command mode, and this is where it gets clever.

The MIDI Thing get its instructions from what ever keyboard controller is being used for MIDI input. We thought that would make sense as you've already got a keyboard in front of you and you wouldn't want to have to navigate through lots of menus on a tiny box."

VINCENT'S DREAMWORLD

Published on Dec 17, 2014 Jason Basson

"It started with a series of notes I entered in the MFB 601-sequencer which resulted in a nice semi-rhythmpattern in 1 MS-10. Then I searched a nice sound on the second MS-10 that went well with the semi-rhythmpattern. Finally I searched a nice starting sound on the Micromoog. This video demonstrates also some nice possibilities of the Micromoog. I already made some years ago a nice video about the Micromoog, which you can find in my videos. Originally the starting sound on the second MS-10 and on the Micromoog sounded slightly different, due to a sound off-knob on my handphone that was active and the knobs that I twisted."
