iElectribe Gorillaz Edition

"Korg has teamed up with the hugely popular and globally successful virtual band Gorillaz to create a new dedicated beatbox for the iPad: The iELECTRIBE Gorillaz Edition. A limited run of 10,000 units released at a very special price of US$9.99. *Sales beyond 10,000 units are yet to be determined (as of April 18, 2011).

The iELECTRIBE is a virtual analog beatbox for the iPad; sound creation is easy, fun and intuitive – just as on a vintage analog synthesizer. Simply choose a part and touch the 16-step sequencer to quickly build a groove. The aggressive sound, unique functionality, and intuitive beat-building style of the iELECTRIBE made it a favorite of Gorillaz for their latest album “The Fall”.

While retaining the intuitive beat-making features of the iELECTRIBE, the special Gorillaz Edition is a new machine customized to generate Gorillaz samples from their fourth album “The Fall” which allow the user to create music in a wide variety of musical styles. The iELECTRIBE Gorillaz Edition features: a unique design and synthesizer engine including 128 new sounds created by Gorillaz; and 64 ready-to-use pre-programmed patterns by the sound team Gorillaz, Stephen Sedgwick, and Korg."

BeatMakerTV caught Feeding The Gorillaz iPad 2 Korg iElectribe

Uploaded by BeatMakerTV on Apr 19, 2011

"A Quick Beat I Made using the Gorillaz Edition Korg iElectribe (Thriller)
One of the Best Sounding Apps on my iPad(s)."

Update via JM in the comments:
"Might want to point out something from a comment on Korg's page: Songs made with the iElectribe R require "copyright clearance to publish".

That's a pretty significant issue. Perhaps the goal is to keep the Gorillaz' songs from being released as originals by unscrupulous users?"

Gorillaz to Make First iPad Only Album?

via MTV
"Though the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am has been touting the wonders of recording on an iPad, Albarn said he was keen to record the world's first iPad-only album."

There have been plenty of iPad only tracks, but an entire album? I forget if any have been made. If you know, feel free to comment or shoot me an email.

Update: We might have found one. iMatik previously posted here on March 15, 2010. Thanks goes to soh_la in the comments for the reminder. Note it obviously depends on how it's defined. iPad vs. iPhone, use of any external samples and/or mixing, etc...

Update on iMatik: "[We] did use an analog bus compressor and plugins on my iPhone album, my main rule was that all sounds originate from the phone, but that I could process them a little if needed..."

Update via UK in the comments: "The first iPad album is 'The iPad Album' released worldwide by Mark Jenkins in October 2010. This was pretty widely publicized at the time and the album performed live in Holland.

The CD has been available since then internationally through

www.groove.nl

and through

www.markjenkins.co (not dot com. - this is a dot co domain)"

Update: new post on MATRIXSYNTH-C

Update: the Gorillaz iPad only album is titled THE FAll.

Recorded just a few weeks ago, Gorillaz were so excited about this stunning new cut, they wanted to unleash it onto the world as soon as humanly possible! All bouncing beats, deep funk grooves and sumptuous soothing vocals (courtesy of hot new British talent Daley), this track just makes you want to move. And in case you're wondering; inspiration for the track and the title comes from The Donca Matic - the groundbreaking Japanese-designed drum machine which started the Korg Musical Instrument Company in 1963!"

via the seller: "This one has the earlier Korg 35 "noise" filter on the low pass, which gives it an extra gnarly sound. Amazing for bass, leads, effects and especially great for the external processing and running anything you want through it, drums, mics, guitars. This particular unit also has a famous history: it was owned by Dan the Automator, producer for the first Gorillaz album, along with Deltron3030, Dr. Octagon and more. I got this unit from him directly, it was well cared for in his privately operated recording studio and was used on many famous recordings."

Korg Announces iKaossilator V2.1 App & Sale

"MELVILLE, NY, April 27, 2012 - Korg has released Version 2.1 of its best-selling* iKaossilator app for the iPhone® and iPad®. To celebrate the new release, current iKaossilator users can update at no cost. New users can purchase iKaossilator V2.1 from the App Store (inside the iTunes Store) at a special price of $9.99 USD - a 50% savings - until May 7, 2012. Special savings are also being offered on Korg's entire selection of top-selling apps, including iMS-20, iElectribe and iElectribe Gorillaz Edition, which are all available at 50% off their regular price until May 7th, 2012.

The iKaossilator is an expressive music synthesizer app offering 150 diverse sounds, combined with a five-part loop sequencer for creating multi-part tracks. As with all Korg Kaoss products, the iKaossilator is controlled by tapping or sliding a finger on its X-Y touchpad. This intuitive form of control is instantly rewarding, and allows users to quickly create music, regardless of their instrumental training.

New features added in iKaossilator Version 2.1 include:

Audio Loop Import
Seamless operation in tandem with the Kaossilator 2
Support for "AudioPaste"

Audio Loop Import
Users' Audio loop files can now be imported into each part of the sequencer. ** A filter effect assigned to the touch pad can then be used to vary the character of the song, similar to the function of Korg's Kaoss Pad Effects Processor.

Seamless operation with Korg Kaossilator 2
The Audio Loop Import feature also enables closely coupled operation with iKaossilator's hardware sibling, the Korg Kaossilator 2. Loop recorder data created with a Kaossilator 2 can be imported into iKaossilator, or an audio loop created in iKaossilator can be loaded into a loop recording bank in the Kaossilator 2. Data such as loop length and BPM is retained, resulting in seamless transfer between the software and hardware.

Support for "AudioPaste"
iKaossilator now supports the "AudioPaste" function developed by Sonoma Wire Works, which allows audio data to be copied and pasted between iOS apps. Audio data can be exported from Korg's other apps such as iElectribe or iMS-20, or from any "AudioCopy" compatible app, then imported into iKaossilator with ease.

Mark Jenkin's "The iPad Album" Synth List

See the update in this post. Note "The iPad Album" precedes the new Gorillaz iPad album and technically appears to be the first commercially available album made with the iPad. However it is worth noting iMatik made withe the iPhone preceded both. See this post for reference. One thing that hasn't been done from what I can tell is an album produced and mixed on the iPad or iPhone from start to finish. Note: "Mark Jenkins is the author of "Analog Synthesizers" available worldwide through Amazon(posted here) and an internationally published music technology author and keyboard collector."

Fx Theremin ( With a Korg M1 keyboard )

Uploaded by thereminplanet on Jul 30, 2009

via this auction
"It is played by the motion of the hand in the magnetic field around the antenna without touching it! Built in a wooden case with a vintage classic look in brown wood ( black wood finish available at extra charge ) It's unique 'voice' is everywhere: first Star Trek series, old Sci fi/ horror films, orchestral compositions, actual movies and tv commercials. Many bands/artists had been playing it for decades, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, J.M Jarre, Blur, NIN, Massive Attack, Portishead, Eels, Gorillaz, Goldfrapp, great dj’s, etc"

Technical Features

1- Analog Theremin, handmade, fully assembled and ready to play!

2 - The circuit is a dual Hetherodyne oscillator ( like the Classical 1950´s designs used in countless Sci-Fi Movies ). The same type as the most prestigious theremins.

3- This design has a practical range of about 4 octaves over a hand distance of 13 inches between the antenna and the hand. The antenna can be easily unscrewed and placed inside the box to carry or put the theremin away.

4- It has two controls, one for pitch tuning and one for signal level , and a red light on/off led. The controls are placed far enough from the antenna, to enable any adjustment without changing the pitch of the sound

5- Signal output via 1/4" Mono Jack Socket (Similar to used on e-guitars and synthesizers)That allows the theremin to be connected to any guitar or keyboard amplifier , PC soundcard or mixer.
If you wish to connect it to a Hifi amplifier, you can use an easy to buy ´Jack RCA adaptor´

6- The Unit works with a single 9 volts battery - not included - We can add a Power Socket at extra charge ( see ´Custom preferences´ below )

7- Size:230mm. x 100mm. x 45mm.

8- Shipped in a box and with useful easy instructions to get the best results

9-TWO YEARS full guarantee in faulty parts, labour and shipping damage ( rarely needed )

Custom Preferences available at extra charge

Power Supply Socket: The theremin is optimized to work with a 9v alcaline battery to give more than 50 hs of continuous playing. Some customers prefer to connect the unit to the 220v (110 in USA). So we can modify the circuit to add a socket where you can plug a simple cheap 7-12 volts adapter ( not included ).

Black Wood Finish + Red or Blue led: Hand painted case."

KORG SyncKontrol for monotribe

"Control the Korg monotribe's tempo with your iPhone!

SyncKontrol offers owners of Korg's monotribe Analogue Ribbon Station precise tempo control, plus the ability to sync their monotribe to WIST (Wireless sync) enabled apps!

SyncKontrol allows you to control the tempo and start/pause of the monotribe Analogue Ribbon Station via the audio output of your iPhone. The app also offers Tap Tempo, a Swing function, and WIST (Wireless Sync-Start Technology) to sync monotribe to WIST-enabled apps such as Korg's iMS20, iElectribe and iElectribe Gorillaz(tm) Edition. In addition, this application receives sync from Mac based DAW software by receiving MIDI clock and play/stop commands via Wireless Network MIDI.

Note: Wireless Network MIDI function is still new and developing technology and therefore there are no guarantees concerning stability which can be heavily affected by traffic over the wireless network.

Korg's monotribe is a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body. The monotribe shares the analog synthesizer voice of the in-demand Korg monotron, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with a built-in speaker and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable.

[Specifications]
Sequencer Section:
- Tempo: 20.0 – 999.9 BPM
- Tap tempo
- Swing function: 50 – 75 %
Other:
- Supports WIST (Wireless Sync-Start Technology)

#Note
mini jack cable is necessary to connect iPhone and monotribe.
SyncKontrol for monotribe need iOS 4.2 or later."
