YouTube via giortomm "Dear friends, We are proud to present the results of our collaboration with Stefano Lucato. Stefano was the developer, along with Giorgio Tommasini, of the Stradivari Violin and the Gofriller Cello. Stefano Lucato & Samplemodeling created the next groundbreaking virtual instrument: the Tenor Saxophone! It´s extremely expressive, enjoyable, and intuitively playable - simply a real sample-modelled instrument! :-)
and download the video demo. It was composed, performed and recorded in realtime by Stefano Lucato, using just the Expression Pedal (dynamics), the Modwheel (vibrato intensity), the Pitchbend, and the Sustain Pedal.
The Saxophone will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned, and visit our homepage www.samplemodeling.com in the nearest future for further details.

DIY Analog Synth Demo YouTube via rodriemi "On http://arsamus-lineal-tml01.blogspot.... you can see details This is just a demo of an do-it-yourself analog synth I designed and build. Oh, remember I just want to show the synth no my performance nor improvisation skills!!!"
"I got the power adaptor for my Encore Expressionist MIDI -> CV converter today so the first thing I did was hook it up between my Monomachine and my Doepfer.
Then, I assigned two of the MM's CCs to CV outs from the Expresssionist, patched them into the cutoff frequency and resonance amount and that's the above vid!
Sorry for the shaky camera work and, for some reason, the sync is a bit off.
I love the Expressionist - the CVs it provides are smooth with no zippering whatsoever and it's very simple to program. It's lovely being able to bring the power of the Monomachine's parameter locks into the analogue modular domain.
I've assigned the two MM CCs to cutoff and resonance amount but there's no reason, of course, that they can't be plugged into any CV-able destination on the modular.
