Touch DJ : the first DJ MP3 iPhone app in the world

YouTube via AmidioInc
"IT IS FINALLY HERE! GET IT:


http://amidio.com/dj

Touch DJ is the first full-featured DJ MP3 application on the iPhone platform. Touch DJ offers realtime independent manipulation of 2 MP3 files, including scratching, looping, positioning, equalization, effects and and pitching. The unique futuristic user-friendly interface of Touch DJ and the highly advanced zero-latency sound engine bring fantastic results comparable to what can be done with professional hardware equipment.

Traditionally iPhone and iPod Touch have only one stereo audio output which broadens the possibility of using them as a DJ device. Touch DJ overcomes this limitation by offering innovative and unique way of deejaying which doesn't require additional headphones for prelistening to the tracks. This technology is called "visual mixing" and it implies the graphic display of the track waveforms next to each other. The low-bass (kick) parts are detected and rendered in different color compared to the rest sonic frequencies, making beatmatching as easy as adjusting the tracks position and pitch so that the kick parts become visually matched.

As an alternative for the users who really need to prelisten to the tracks, Touch DJ also offers a second "Split" mode of mixing which requires the usage of a special l/r splitting adapter. Among extra features - LP filter FX for each track, vinyl Spin and Break effects, onboard sampler with 3 sample slots (accepts .WAV files) and the ability to record samples via the microphone. As a bonus, Touch DJ is shipped with 25 dance tracks provided by DanceMusicHub.com."

My very faulty microKorg : (

YouTube via ChrisLody
"I fired up my microKorg last night to find it had a hardware fault. I switched it on to make this video because the fault was a bit intermittent and I wanted a record of it to show tech support, but actually seems to have got worse over night.

Things get quite scary from about 3:30 onward as the problems get worse the longer it is left switched on.

The noise can clearly be heard going through the internal delay at 4:25 onward, so the fault has to internal.

Very upset, can't function without this keyboard : (

Going to have to contact Korg about this one!"

"This is a demo for the new diode Ladder VCF. A vco is mixed with some music. I am toggling the LP BP and HP switches."

steiner vcf 002

"This is a demo for the new Steiner VCF. I am using a Tom Whiltshire Digital Sample and Hold to do the modulation. A Double Saw wave is being fed into the unit."

steiner vcf 003

"This is a demo of the new Diode Ladder VCF based on a Steiner design. There are two Square waves being fed in. An LFO is doing the modulation of the cutoff. I am sweeping the Bi-polar FM knob."

Keytar Wank Pt 1

"A bit of Saturday afternoon messing around with the Roland AX Synth. Sound is run through a Vox tube overdrive for added bite and Lexicon MX300 for reverb."

Switched On Shostakovich - 2nd Waltz

YouTube via ThePurityControl

"Shostakovich 2nd Waltz gets the Wendy Carlos/Tomita style 'switched on' treatment.

The video is of Phoolan using the gear as a cat gym, apart from the first 20 seconds where she uses the plant pot as a toilet(!)"
Roland Jupiter-6 and Manikin Memotron.

Modular Arse Pt 1

YouTube via ThePurityControl. Naked man ass in the first 3 seconds.
"My first modular synth noodle video, having a play around particularly with the Doepfer A-188-1 BBD and A-124 'Wasp' Filter.

External effects are just a Lexicon MX300 doing 'tape echo' duties :D"

Modular Arse Pt 2

"Using the A164-1 Manual Gate to trigger stages of the A143-1 Complex Envelope Generator, which are modulating the mix balance of the A134 VC Panning Modules (which double as crossfaders), to vary the mix of the A114 Ring Mod to unmodulated audio. There are 2 ring mods in use, one with a tuned modulator, and the other with an untuned."

Modular Arse Pt 3

"2x Doepfer A120 'moog' filters having the cutoff modded by the same LFO but with one getting an inverted signal, same LFO moding the crossfade between the filters.

The A164-1 manual gate is triggering an envelope to sweep one of the filters too. Lexicon MX300 is on effects duty.

Went hand held on the camera this time, which is a little wobbly but gives a much better idea of what is going on and a little more sense of action. Aspect ratio is odd because i accidentally held the camera end on and had to flip it all round 90 degrees in Movie Maker! I am rubbish!"

M-Z3R0 - dreadnought - part 1 - melodic piano and noise

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0
"Two circuit bent casios built into an old school wooden synth casing.

Melodic, random, noisy, it pretty much does the lot.

SA1 mods: distortion, pitch, filter, variable speed 2-8 step arpeggiator/LFO with depth control on each step, note hold on two switchable octaves, deep crash.

PT10 mods: drone distortion, pitch, drum booster, lead booster, LFO with depth and rate."

M-Z3R0 - dreadnought - part 2 - modulated deep crash + lfo action

"Deep crashed drone and glitching.

The upper half of the dreadnought is crashed while the lower keys are used for playing and LFO action. Later in the vid the deep crash/glitch control is used to vary the processor crash."

M-Z3R0 - dreadnought - part 3 - dark side chip tune

"Commodore 64 inspired chip tune and hi speed lfo drone.

Another run on the dreadnought. This time with some c64 drums added in ableton live (taken from the games delta and armalyte) and a selection of hardcore drum hits later on to build the track.

A good example of how this thing can be used in various lo-fi styles."
