video upload by SynthAddict

"Hey all, happy to make a jam in honor of Inky da Cat (Lisa Beynon).
She is greatly missed - RIP.

Unfortunately, I had a serious time crunch and had to rush this one out. It was fun, but as usual I had bigger plans for it. I had to upload almost a week early as I'll be away for the InkyFest and deadline just before.
All jams submitted are 10 min or less this time.
Enjoy..."

M-Audio Venom synth demo

Some useful info from a previous post:

Note for extensive editing you need an external editor that came with the synth or this one from Patch Base. There was one for TB MIDI Stuff and Touch OSC as well. The physical synth only gives you access to a small number of parameters. You can find a review, interview, and tips and tricks posted back in 2011 here.

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - Cadmium [WIP], Periodic Table

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

The tempo is the atomic mass of Cadmium, rounded off (112).

Cadmium metal has high toxicity.

Cadmium was used in NiCd batteries for decades until NiMH and Li-Ion batteries replaced them.

Cadmium is still used as a component of control rods in nuclear fission reactors and in CdS photocells for light sensors and modular vactrol circuits.

A cadmium-dependent carbonic anhydrase (enzyme) has been found in marine diatoms in place of the usual zinc version."
