OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION:

Sonifi

Remix, Record, Control dynamic live FX & beautiful visualizers

AND Stutter Edit™....

LIVE.

Create and explore stunning live remixes, FX and visuals with a true first-of-its-kind portable remix engine. Sonifi™ is the worlds first true audio and visual remix application and protocol. Created by electronic superstar BT, this application showcases futuristic new music and remixes of The Rose of Jericho from his forthcoming 2009 artist album.

Sonifi™ is a powerful, portable, real-time remix engine. There are an infinite number of permutations of remixes you can create, mix, save and share....live, and anywhere!!

For iPhone and iPod touch 3.0 users, a revolutionary new multi-player feature has been added. Jam Link gives 3.0 users the ability to link with a friend (via Bluetooth) and remix live....TOGETHER. The mixmaster selects control over "Beats and Bass" or "Melody and Harmony". Once JamLinked you and your buddy can remix, select tracks and Stutter Edit™ live. This is a first for any application, on any device.

In Sonifi™, four channels of four unique tracks allow extreme flexibility and remix possibilities. The (4x4 matrix of) tracks can be mixed, muted or soloed and contain four completely unique elements and arrangements per-channel. There are four tracks of ripping beats to choose from, four tracks of fat bass lines, four tracks of glitchy synths and FX, and four tracks of cutting edge melodies.

Everything in Sonifi™ happens in-time and on-beat; so making a mix is both fun and effortless. If you are a musician or DJ the sky is the limit! Currently, three discrete real time effects are controllable using the X/Y axis of the iPhone or iPod touch screen : Lo-Fi, resonant high pass filter, and resonant low pass filter.

There are mesmerizing visual elements that respond elegantly to user touch as well as the frequency and amplitude information of your remix. You are not just remixing, you're visualizing what you are creating.

Finally, Sonifi™ contains BT's patented Stutter Edit™ technology and is the first application to showcase to its abilities. Instead of using a mouse, USB device, or other input peripheral (like you would with a computer), your phone becomes an instrument!! Simply shake the phone in one of six vectorial directions (left, right, forward, backward, up, or down) and at the next 1/8th note the Stutter Edit plugin will perform an incredible micro-note or fill pattern repeat, some with release crashes and hits. Basically, you shake your phone and sound like a genius.

Endless fun ensues!

Planned upgrades will include downloadable Sonifi™ media packs containing other artists songs and remixes, new visualizer elements and band & artist links.

Let the live remixing BEGIN!!

"Here is my hacked Gakken SX-150 synth. I added MIDI input and a 1/4' input plug, to make it more universally compatible with mixers and soundcards.

"A musical touch-sensitive light-up hoodie, created using the LilyPad Arduino, which is designed by Leah Buechley. Created at the MIT Media Lab for the High-Low Tech research group.

This hoodie is a prototype project for the Lilypad Arduino, meant to inspire other applications. The hoodie was designed with purely artistic intentions and with absolutely no practical applications in mind.

SuperCollider + TouchOSC = Step Sequencer (with BASS)

YouTube via rukano
"Almost the same as my other step sequencer demo, this time I used the multifaders on the bottom to add a bass line;
The bass is not sampled, it's just a pulse waveform with filter;
Thanks for the comments and rating;

Android Musical Pro Multitouch Drum Demo

YouTube via csvy
"This is a quick demonstration of the new multitouch drum kit in Musical Pro, an application available in the Android Market. The multitouch requires a rooted G1 running JF1.4 or greater.

This is about the limit of the G1's support for multitouch: it can only detect 2 fingers, and if the buttons were any closer, the screen would be incapable of distinguishing the fingers from each other.

Sorry about the lack of quality (and rhythm). I had to film it using my laptop's built-in webcam, which is quite a bit more difficult than one would expect.

See souvey.com for details..."

elka synthex noodlings

via Pea Hicks http://www.myspace.com/peahix
"scored an elka synthex on craigslist this week and have been noodling around with the neato onboard sequencer, if y'all wanna have a listen. this is all real-time sequencer playback. drums on the last two tracks are courtesy my e-mu drumulator, which is driving the elka sequencer. a bit of an odd procedure to get these two to sync up- the results can be a bit unpredictable."
