KORG MS03 Pitch to Analog CV


via this auction

Details:
"KORG MS-03: Identical to the MS-20's "External Signal Processor"
This amazing little device translates audio into voltage to control both Hz/V (Korg, Yamaha) and V/Oct (Roland, Moog, Octave, Arp, etc.) analog synths. What's more, it outputs positive and negative gate signals, ENV follower voltage, and has built-in portamento. I used it to make automatic bass lines from drum machine beats and to sweep a Frostwave Resonator filter from the envelope follower. For more in-depth reading on the MS-03's functions, the manual can be found here. The item functions perfectly and runs on US voltage. I have tested it on a Roland SH-2 and a Yamaha CS-15."

midiGun - alternative midi controller

Remember the midiGun? Here's a video of it.

YouTube via starcodo.
"The "midiGun" is a novel handheld midi controller. This gunshaped interface was especially designed to remotely control realtime music softwares like Ableton LIVE, Traktor DJ or others.

The "midiGun" replaces the classical DJ mixer and the keyboard at the same time. The "midiGun" is a new kind of device that can be intuitively used because of its handy shape and easy accessible knobs, buttons and sensors.

The user can trigger and control sounds and effects on a PC without watching a monitor or using a mouse and keyboard. The controllers and sensors can be individually customized to fit the connected software or to serve special user preferences. The "midiGun" offers 16 different controllers which can be cascaded in 16 switchable sets. This allows for a total of 256 independent sound and effects controls at the reach of your fingertips. Additional lighting effects and a visible distance measuring laserbeam guarantee for the attention of the audience. http://www.midigun.com"

COMMONTONES Phase II

COMMONTONES is a project by Sonicbrat, Eric, and LDT. In Phase I of COMMONTONES the members produced one track a day. The great thing about each track was that the description included a list of the instruments used. I put a few posts up on tracks featuring only one or two synths. It really was an interesting trip listening to what they come up with each day. For Phase II they will be doing one track a week. Each track will feature one member as a main driving force with the other two members as support.

"Three musicians...
Three minds...
One song...

A weekly affair between the trio. Their first music making effort as an entity rather than solitude contributions. They will be working on a single piece weekly, a song a week, for the entire month of July. This is their next step, something they had in mind for a long time... and finally materializing. This is only the beginning."
