Available on itunes

via MATRIXSYNTH Member Ramachandra Borcar:

"This track is taken off Ubisoft's 'Far Cry 4: Lakshmana Edition' videogame OST. Although Cliff Martinez did the score for a great deal of the game, I composed the music for both the Shangri-La & Arena Missions. The Shangri-La portions of the game combine live percussion & wind instruments with an array of synths, fx and drum machines, whereas the Arena Missions are exclusively performed live.

Synths used on the soundtrack: EMS VCS3, Roland SH-101 & Juno 106, Korg MS20, Moog Micromoog, Skychord Sleepdrone 5, Folktek modified OM-84 Omnichord, Dwarfcraft Rot Yr Brain and a Dewanatron Swarmatron.

Drum machines used on the soundtrack: Roland TR-808, Jomox M Brane 11, Companion 4 In The Floor

FX used: tons of new & vintage fx racks and pedals.

Live musicians:
Ramachandra Borcar: synthesizers, bowed cymbals, percussion, electronics
Patrick Graham: Japanese, Chinese and Korean percussion, hand cymbals
Shawn Mativetsky: tablas, dhol, percussion
Liu Fang: pipa
Claude Maheu: shenai, nagaswaram, Indian straight flute and bansuri, Chinese oboe
Angelo Munoz: Tibetan & brass horns
Catherine Potter: bansuri flute solos

RETRAILING (live improvisation)

"jupiter-6, prophet-T8 and two hands. this will b-side for the UNDER ORBIT 7"."

"jupiter-6 is in split mode and is latching an arp with the left hand, so then the left hand is free and right hand is playing chords. The T-8 is receiving midi from the jupiter-6 and is playing the chords. both filters are being swept by their LFOs. Jupiter has europa, T-8 doesn't have a keyboard."

New DIY MBLoopA Voxelspace MIDI Looper Vs Alesis Andromeda

[techdemo] DIY MBLoopA Voxelspace MIDI Looper Vs Alesis Andromeda

Published on Jul 1, 2015 Maelstroem3

"First test run of the Voxelspace MIDI Recorder and Looper, that i developed in 06/2015 based on the MIDIbox platform.

The loopa is a small USB-powered device, that records live loops (non quantized, no step recording) of up to eight MIDI clips onto SD card.
Notes (and quarternote beat lines) are visualized in 'Voxel Space'. The clips are looped and beatsynchronized.

The hardware is based on a STM32F4, with a whopping 192KB (yes, kilobytes) of RAM :). The OLED is a Newhaven 256x64x16 bluescale display.

Official build thread:
http://midibox.org/forums/topic/19585...

Hope you enjoyed the demo, it was not musical, just a tech test! :)
More features like session switching, loop length configuration and synced mutes/unmutes should be added, once there is more time :). Yes, I know, there are still a few bugs, especially regarding the position display, that is glitching around a bit, but hey, it has character... :-)

Thanks for watching!

via the MIDIbox Forum:

"we recently had some very rainy days in southern Germany and MIDIbox-build-fever struck again, so I had to do something... my project build stack is very large, and even some started projects are not complete yet (MBProgramma), but this one has been on the wishlist for even longer than the Programma, so I just had to start it this year... otherwise it would probably never happen :-).

I have to say, that the MIDIbox platform is phenomenal and addictive! It would be so nice to work on something of this quality on a daily job basis... results can be reached very quickly, the documentation and code base is great. Thanks a lot for everything, TK.!

Let's start...

Motivation
* DAW hate
Turning on the computer and loading a DAW as complex as Ableton or Cubase makes sure any of my already limited inspiration will be gone by the time it is able to record MIDI. I'd like to sit down and "just jam". I felt, very often, that what i played was lost in time, because, of course, the computer was off. So I wanted a simple MIDI recorder, that "just records" automatically a few seconds after turning it on, without any major interaction. If what was just played sounded nice, it would be automatically stored on SD card in compatible .MID format for later playback or even some DAW-based post-processing. If not, well, one could just jam on, or delete the track (called clip in this app).

* Hardware minimalism
Building the unit should be quick and cheap. There should only be a minimum number of buttons and encoders. I managed to build everything including the control surface (yes, i know, it looks cheap, but it also was cheap :-)) on one long weekend - and so can you. We just use standard hardware (STM32F4 core, one DINx4, out DOUTx4 and a nice display). Because there are few components, it is very viable to do it on vector board, no immediate need for PCBs...

Ghetto Drum Samplers by Goldbaby

Published on Jul 1, 2015 GoldbabySamples

"For more info and audio demos: http://www.goldbaby.co.nz/ghettodrums..."

"Drums and FX created using 5 vintage drum samplers (RZ1, DDD1, ASRX Pro, ST224 and the ES1). These dope little samplers were used to sample a varied selection of sounds: 808, 909, DR110, DMX, ER1, TE PO12, vinyl, live drums, percussion and more! Those gritty, punchy sounds were then recorded through a couple of 1073-500 pres, a Fat Bustard II valve mixer and various other high end studio gear.

You get a tasty collection of original sounds with heaps of character. Whether you make Hip Hop, Bassline, Ghetto House, Garage, Dub Step or EDM, there is plenty of variety here for you to sink your beat making chops into.

With patches for Maschine (V2) & Mikro (V2), Battery 3, Kontakt 5, Geist, Reason 6 and Logic's EXS-24. The wav files can be used in other samplers as well.

You will need the full version of Kontakt 5 to use the Kontakt patches. The free player will only load them in demo mode."

Yamaha TG77 Synthesizer Factory Demo Songs

Published on Jul 1, 2015 Sound Programming

"Factory demo songs from the Yamaha TG77 recorded direct with no additional effects.

Song List:

1. Pot Pourri (0:02)
2. IT's CooL !!! (2:02)
3. PowerPlay (4:25)
4. House Demo:P.Ellis (6:25)

The TG77 is the rackmount version of the SY77. Released during the transition from FM synthesis to ROMpler technology, it combines advanced FM (16 waveforms, 45 algorithms) with 16-bit sampled waveforms (AWM2). It is 16-part multitimbral and was considered very powerful for its day, though it lacks some features of the higher-end SY99, such as sampling.

It is very common for the display backlight to burn out, as can be seen in this unit. It can be repaired, but the display is usable without it and the replacement part costs enough (typically around $30) and requires enough effort to replace (full disassembly plus soldering) that many people don't bother."
