"This is the Xylobot, our submission for the Berlin Music Hack Day, held on September 18-20 at Radialsystem V.
A custom Java app receives midi data from the step sequencer and controls the Arduino over a serial connection.
The board then triggers the servos to hit on the xylophone.
The whole construction was built in under 24 hours and is mostly made of hot glue and wood.

Made by Ramsey Arnaoot and myself

Native Instruments The Finger vs Richard Devine

Native Instruments The Finger vs Richard Devine from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"Here is a little experiment I tried using Tim Exile's new Finger Plug-in with Logic 9. I was running some of my drums on a track in Logic's Flex mode, slightly drawing in graphic tempo changes, and automating all the parameter twist knobs drastically, while programming every MIDI parameter I could assign on the piano roll editor, Doing more then my two hands could do=) Just letting it all go crazy. Some strange interesting results indeed. =)"

BBC Archive Tomorrow's World Moog Synthesiser

"Synopsis

In this report from a longer programme, Derek Cooper introduces the Moog synthesiser, an instrument that can produce a variety of noises and arrangements, both mimicking real instruments and creating new sounds, all electronically.

Did you know?

Developed by Dr Robert Moog, the Moog synthesiser evolved from a kit known as a Voltage-Controlled Electronic Music Module, which Moog demonstrated in prototype form in 1964. The first production models emerged in 1967, accompanied by a sample record of music composed by Walter Carlos (later Wendy Carlos, after her sex-change operation in 1972). It was Carlos's 1968 album 'Switched-On Bach' that catapulted Moog-produced music into popular culture, though examples of music made on the synthesiser had already been released by The Doors, The Monkees and Simon & Garfunkel, among others.
