"This is part one of my testing of Steve Cooley's awesome handbuilt Beatseqr 16-step sequencer and MIDI controller. In parts one and two I am using the Beatseqr to trigger sounds from the default Ultrabeat sound bank.
Part one looks at the basic functions of the Beatseqr. Part two shows how I have used it to lay down a 'live' drum sequence during a studio project.
"On October 28th, 2017, Silicon Valley's Haptic Synapses (Charles Johnson, Derek Scott & Steve Cooley) performed an epic live modular set for Binary Society in Vinyl Dreams at Robotspeak's Annual Synth Meet commemorating their 15 Year Anniversary in San Francisco. Live visual performance by Bill Wiatroski and Tim Thompson. Available for viewing in UHD 4K. For more info visit hapticsynapses.com and binarysv.com"
YouTube via solarno72 | January 15, 2011 | follow-up to this post "This is my third video demonstrating Steve Cooley's handmade 16-step MIDI controller, the Beatseqr. In this video I am showing how you can use the Beatseqr to simultaneously send MIDI information to multiple tracks/instruments in Logic. Then, using a control surface I can toggle those different instruments on and off.
With the four programable patterns available in the Beatseqr this allows for potentially huge number of pattern/instrument combinations.
"This is a 20 minute chunk of Haptic Synapses (Steve Cooley, Charles Johnson, and Derek Scott) playing at San Jose California's South Bay Music Swap. Haptic Synapses is a live improvisational techno band. You can listen to the rest of this 2 hour set at http://hapticsynapses.com
(shot with a GoPro HD Hero ... so...it should be available in 720p)"
"This is me playing around with Steve Cooley's amazing beatseqr hardware controller. I'm running it through a Macbook Pro, with Roxor and Steppa, the open-source software designed specifically for the hardware. The Macbook is sending MIDI out to an Emu ESI-32, and I'm also adding Space Echo, spring reverb and digital delay to individual tracks. I spent about 10 minutes beforehand programming the step sequencer, otherwise everything is live."
