"this is a quick song i did with just the vermona perfourmer and drm1 sequenced with numerology. Two stereo tracks, one take, nothing too exciting but a good example of the two units together. The video is the security camera outside of our studio....its just the images speed up over two days. there is some of the new puppy tossing and turning in his cage for a couple of hours too."

Contents : digitalisms, minimal electronics, click & glitch soundtrack production w/ 2 TENORI-ON(s), Sherman Filterbank 2, Benfox Dual tone generator, Benfox BEN HF, Moog Bass Murf + digital manipulations via Korg Kaoss Pad KP3 — • Official blog of Zn'shñ : http://znshn.blogspot.com IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND-SYSTEM.
N.B.- According to a fictitious etymology, the term Zn'shñ signifies: the gleam of dark colours. Deliberately antithetic and intentionally enigmatic, Zn'shñ is enthused by Butoh iconography, Japanese Gagaku aesthetic and Tibetan rituals codification. Operating as a dual electronic unit (mulit-instrumentalis/composer Franck Smith and artist/sound-activist Elvire Bastendorff), Zn'shñ deepens some very specific works around digital phonocrafting and noise manufacturing.

Volta is a virtual instrument plug-in that turns your audio interface into a voltage control interface.
Any hardware device with a control voltage (CV) input can be placed under precise digital control from your favorite audio workstation software. You can play and automate modulars, analog synths - even effects processors.
Imagine being able to play and automate your CV-equipped analog gear from Digital Performer, Logic Pro, or Live with the same level of control, precision and convenience as a virtual instrument.
Here are just a few examples of what you can do with Volta: * Perform MIDI sequencing with external modular synths with sample-accurate precision (if your host sequencer supports sample-accurate MIDI). * Automatically calibrate and tune oscillators with the click of a button. * Use ramp automation in your host audio software to control filters, envelope generators, effects processors and other voltage-controlled external gear. * Apply LFOs, step sequencers and pattern sequencers to CV inputs and tempo-sync them to your host software timeline.
Whether you’re a seasoned modular synthesizer devotee or simply a computer-based studio owner dreaming of adding that rich, coveted sound only true analog synths can deliver, Volta finally enables you to easily incorporate CV-equipped analog gear into your computer-based studio with all the control, precision and convenience of a virtual instrument."
