Kaossilator step by step

Kaossilator step by step from Toumal Rakesh on Vimeo.
"Fooling around with the Korg Kaossilator. Note that I had to use the hidden 16-bar mode (activated by holding the BPM and Loop buttons on powerup), that's why I had to turn it off and on in the middle. I wasn't sure how things would turn out, hence I used the KP3 to sample several parts to be able to turn them on and off lateron.

All in all, the Kaossilator is a useful and fun device. Here's hoping that a possible successor adds save/load functionality, more sounds and a pattern sequencer ;)"

SYB-5 solo

"The BOSS SYB-5 bass synth trigged by its own feedback, by Kulten the SYB synth addict !

I use the 2 "LFO modes" with "Square" sound (mode 6) and "Saw" sound (mode 3). Works good with the SYB-5 and not with the SYB-3 : the SYB-3 don't have LFO.

I often do that in concert. Actually, I already did a gig only with my SYB-5 (ambiant/indus), and another only with the SYB-3 and my DR-110 drum machine (electro/indus). But most of the time I play with both SYB on stage."

Making loops with single AudioCube

YouTube via Percussa
"Chris from UCSD emails us with a patch in Max/MSP and accompanying video in which he uses a single audiocube to create loops.

the audiocube's 4 sensors control 4 parameters of a VST instrument, which are recorded into a looping sequencer and played over the original recording, allowing the performer to create a loop quickly and shape the sound and musical patterns using has hands and fingers, like a piece of clay.

the parameters are recorded in high resolution and speed for smooth continuous control.

A strange thing happened the day after Christmas...

"A Bugbrand Weevil 08, showed up and knocked on my door this morning. He was very cute, and the weather outside, was very cold. I invited him in.

I gave him a standard greeting, and introduced him to my Mattson Mini Modular, whereupon, I said I would go fetch some tea.

Well, wondrous things do often come to pass and never cease to amaze me, on my way back up the stairs, I heard a very perturbable conversation ensuing...

Luckily, I was able to capture it in a quicktime blip, as well as a written transcript.

The conversation went as follow, please read transcription concurrently with the audio rendition [launch, listen and read the following translation while playing]:

"Hello"
"Hello"
"What's up?"
" Well......."
"(Let's) Hang Out, Together ! "
(Sound of Laughter)"
"What the F@#%CK ! "
"Hell NO!"
"Boy Friend-Together-(let's) Hang Out !"
"Hell NO! (I've got to) Comb my Hair, Brush my Teeth, Wash my Face...."
"Bud Light-Bud Light-Bud Light, I'm so wasted ! " ( Begins to laugh like a Drunken Monkey)
"By the way..........HANG UP ! "
"Anyway..........."
"Good By " .....(Click)......
"Wow.............So What.............Oh What Ever..............."

Standing there, at the top of the Stair Case, with 3 Cups of Tea, a Machine 3 Sheets to the Wind, and my Jaw on the Floor, I was besides myself with a conundrum of condarned confusion............ That was no way for the MMM and the Weevil to be conducting themselves. Sensing my displeasure, at their apparent lack of civility, the MMM spun round seemingly trying to tell me something. Then I noticed it, he wasn't even patched in! He couldn't have been involved in that conversation, after all, he and I had been getting along grandly since his arrival a week ago...

I quickly arrived at the obvious conclusion: I had a Rude/ Drunk/ Schizophrenic Weevil.

OK, Mattson Mini Modular stays, Weevil has to go......any takers? (LOL)

Happy Holidays
