EP-133 KOII + BLEASS ARPEGGIATOR JAM

video upload by Perplex On

"Wouldn’t it be nice to have an arpeggiator on the #ep133koII ? Here i‘m using the wonderful #bleassarpeggiator to receive midi note input from the EP-133 and sending it arpeggiated right back to the device, super fun to play with! Added a pinch of #modnetic delay on top."

Chromaplane Tuning Website Jam

video upload by Perplex On

"I am really fascinated by the #chromaplane @koma_elektronik but couldn’t justify the purchase yet. But while surfing their website i stumbled across the chromaplane tuning website and couldn’t stop playing with it. 😄 A poor-man’s version of the real deal if you will 😅 In this case, the ipad just mirrors the website and the pen replaces the mouse, which feels even a bit closer to holding the pickup mic of the real thing. By using #blackhole loopback audio driver i was able to add reverb to it and record everything in Ableton."

"Damn, i almost forgot how much fun it is to play arpeggios with #oxione 😃 Here comes a quick fun jam sequencing #zeeonsynth, spiced up with #k7ddelay, all for #jamuary2025. Enjoy."

Baby Audio Atoms iOS Jam No Talking

video upload by Perplex On

"I had the pleasure to give the iOS release of Atoms ‪@BABYAudio-official‬ a spin and found it pretty inspiring. Especially for lively ambient tones using various LFOs and MPE support or percussive sounds by changing the internal mass-spring networks. Here is a selection of sequenced presets to show the variety of possible sounds. Enjoy."

In The Woods With Seaboard Block M

video upload by Perplex On

"I love to go to unusual spaces for making music, especially into the nature. So I grabbed my #SeaboardBlockM and iPad to create this minimalistic cinematic soundscape in the woods. The Seaboard Block M is connected via bluetooth, controlling MPE compatible DAW AUM on the iPad, playing #RoliNoise, #MoogAnimoogZ and #AudiodamageContinua at the same time! Enjoy the trip ;)"

"It’s such a joy to create rich and beautiful sequences with #harmonybloom. Here sequencing #aparillosynth and #pureupright on the iPad. Visually combined with footage of the woods i filmed earlier."

Minimal Polyend Play Sequence + Projection Mapping

video upload by Perplex On

"Recently got myself a #PolvendPlay and so far, it's a really inspiring
instrument. This simple sequence is made with one stock sample only, with a pinch of chance and randomness added. Served with projection mapped visuals onto its grid to accompany the smooth minimal feeling. Enjoy."

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O.II Midi Looper

video upload by Perplex On

"This jam tries to utilize the #ep133 as a midi looper, punching in midi notes live into it and sending them to the iPad playing #klevgrand #speldosa. I realized that a few punch-in fx on the EP-133 do midi related stuff which is great for adding a bit of spice to the loops in real-time. Other convenient thing is that the iPad also powers the EP-133 in addition to having midi over the same cable. Thanks to my little wooden birdie friends for the support."

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O.II Looping Exploration

video upload by Perplex On

"Played around with the Loop feature on the #ep133. Supported by drums coming from the #PO32Tonic. While it‘s pretty cool to get interesting loops and textures with the Loop function, it’s not very easy to perform live with it as the controls are pretty vague. Also it’s a bit annoying that you get kicked out of loop mode when pressing fx or when adding punch-in fx, it would be way cooler if these could be combined (and maybe even resampled). Hoping for updates that would make this feature even better."

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O.II Ambient Calmness

"Guess i needed a break after the recent glitchy jam, so here are just a few calm ambient chords dialed in. Using a factory sample + onboard reverb (plus an extra pinch of #rymdigare reverb on the recording iPad). Hope you enjoy."

"Having fun with the live pattern switching feature here in order to cycle through various different glitchy patterns. Background drone coming from #norns #dronecaster."

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O.II + PO32 Tonic Ambient Electro Jam

video upload by Perplex On

"Here the EP-133 meets his little buddy PO32 Tonic for jamming out. All drums coming from the K.O.II while the pad sounds are coming from live jamming with the PO32 (spiced up with a lot of reverb obviously, here going into #cascadeapp and #rymdigare and a touch of guitar amp feeling with #ChowDSPBYOD). Enjoy!"

Teenage Engineering EP-133 P.O.II First Jam

video upload by Perplex On

"Couldn’t resist to give the #ep133KOII a chance. This is my very first jam and i‘m sure i still have a lot to learn on this machine. Everything here comes from the machine with onboard samples. My first impression:
.
Plus: Very immediate, great haptics, love the design, great onboard samples
.
Minus: No punch-in fx recording (which was present on all orignal PO‘s), No individual step lengths (only length of total bars afaik, so no polyrhythmic adventures).
.
Oh and btw if you wonder why the fader looks weird: They added this piece of plastic around it in order to avoid transport damage but it is sooooo tight i couldn’t even get it off. 😕"

JAMUARY 2024: PO32 + Chantlings App For Choral Textures

video upload by Perplex On

"How about some ambient choir-esque tones? Here #po32 loaded with some dynamic tones via #microtonic in combination with the lovely #chantlings app, going into #cascade reverb for extra lushness."

JAMUARY 2024: AFXStation Style Sequencing On iOS

video upload by Perplex On

"I tried to replicate the #afxmode found on the #afxstation and #bassstation2 but on iOS. Therefore i created a simple #mozaicscript that translates each incoming note to a program change value while maintaining a basic C regardless of the pressed note. This way i can trigger different patches by pressing notes on the keyboard. Here demonstrated with #zeeonsynth and #riffer to create random sequences on the fly. With a little basic drum support from #hammerhead.

You can get the script here:

JAMUARY 2024: Syntakt + Roli Lightpad Block

video upload by Perplex On

"Combining unusual suspects today, the #syntakt and the #lightpadblock loaded with the lovely #pentagome script. With the help of a little midi app called #polythemus running on a nearby iPad, i‘m distributing all incoming notes from the lightpadblock over the first 8 channels of the Syntakt in a round robin fashion. Also added an additional #mozaicscript for all passing notes adding random velocity and mapped a few parameters on the Syntakt to be velocity dependent."

JAMUARY 2024: Xynthesizr + Roland Aira Compact S-1

"Revisited good old #xynthesizr today, sequencing the #rolands1. I still love this sequencer for its randomization features, especially for creating ever-changing hypnotic sequences."

Synth Color Tracking With Musikraken & AugenX

video upload by Perplex On

"Experimenting with the recently added color distance tracking in #musikraken app, which determines the relative distance between two tracked objects, optionally in both x and y position. I’m using it here controlling #augenx synth app for triggering and modulating synth parameters. Tracking is done with an iPhoneSE acting as external midi BLE device, sending the created midi data to a nearby iPad running AugenX."

Nanoloop FM + Playdate Glitch Visuals

video upload by Perplex On

"Receiving my #Playdate recently reminded me of another fun device that has been greatly neglected by me unfortunately, the #NanoloopFM. So i thought i could take the chance to bring all these clicky buttons together 😉 All sounds here are coming from the Nanoloop (spiced up with #Artifacts app @numericalaudio4903 ). It’s plugged into the Playdate via TRRS which runs an early version of an upcoming playdate app @humbletune that creates awesome interactive and audioreactive lofi visuals! I’m switching here through different scenes and add live glitch fx on the fly. So much fun! Here also projected from above using playdate’s mirror companion app."
