Nerve Net Noise, First Night Boston 2009

YouTube via monumentaldocuments.
"First US appearance of Japanese synth wizard. Crummy cell phone footage."
via Michael:
"Japanese synth noise mastery live on new years eve. Sorry I couldn't
get a shot of his gear, but it was an amazing homemade
dual-joystick-controlled synth."

Bandlimited ramp waveform example aiff files

"These sound files demonstrate bandlimited synthesis of a ramp wave from its fourier series. Limiting the synthesis to a particular number of harmonics affects the quality of the output. The question is how many are necessary for a satisfactory output?

The table below has example sound files of bandlimited ramps with increasing numbers of harmonics. There are tones over three octaves, starting from roughly 85Hz. Note that for the very large numbers of harmonics, there may be aliasing distortion present, since the harmonics will go above the Nyquist frequency for the 44.1KHz sample rate used for the examples."

You can find the table and samples on electric druid's Synth DIY pages.

MicroMoog Freqbox Demo

YouTube via Rhythmicons
"My first youtube attempt. This is a demo basically intended to give prospective Freqbox buyers a chance to hear it used as a second Oscillator. The CP251's mixer is used to control the volume of the Freqbox before entering the Micromoog's audio input.

HOpe you enjoy and the next will get better"

Video Feedback Visualizer Modular Patch

YouTube via ionraygun
"I create live real-time video feedback sets on occasion and this is one of my favorite starter patches for audio visualization... wanted to demonstrate the patch while everything is still in this configuration from a New Years Eve gig.

This example uses an ebay telephone carbon microphone as an audio source going into a Doepfer A-119 input module filtered by Livewire and Plan B VCFs into an MFB VD-01 VideoScope module that is then keyed over a live video feedback signal path with a Videonics MX1 video mixer and processed by a Korg KAOSS Pad Entrancer... wow is anybody actually reading this?

Shot on a Nikon D90 for no other reason then it was handy and my Canon XHA1 is loaned out to a friend... plus who else would dare use their new DSLR for video feedback looping?

Watch in HD!"

"A short improv blues piece with accompanying synthesizers. I recorded this using a cheap Casio keyboard and Propellerhead Software's Reason 4. This is my first time using this software, so be nice :P"

HyperSynth Alesis ION Editor

"Ion-editor is a MIDI-editor for advanced controlling over the famous Alesis ION analog modeling synthesizer in your DAW. For rejecting the mouse flicker and reducing zippering noise on MIDI port every knob is specifically programmed to transmit the MIDI messages like a real hardware MIDI controller so ion-editor knobs don’t generate several unwanted data with the same value which is a common issue in the most of the other MIDI-editors. The same pages like the original ion LCD display make the tweaking easy for parameters that need more descriptive information like filter panning, arpeggio, mod matrix and tracking generator.

Note : ION-editor does not generate any sound itself without using ION synth.

v1.0 Features:
- Support automation for all 234 ION parameters
- Flicker Free Knobs (unlike other midi editors!)
- Remotely changing ION banks and programs
- Automatable MIDI-OUT channel
- Preset manager with save and load function
- Sync to host option for master tempo
- Easily tweakable interactive tracking generator and mod matrix
- One waveshape display for each oscillator"
