"The program is available as a standalone version and as a VST plugin. Once installed and saved the MIDI ports can be the JX-8p, almost like a normal VST instrument to use and play."
YouTube via VJFranzK "Here is an on stage view of Daedelus' performance at Hip Kitty Jazz Club. He is using the Monome controller which he helped introduce to the world as (the first?) prototype user.
Here is a perfect fusion of performance and technology - a truly improvisational control interface in the hands of a vertuosic musician!"
YouTube via organfairy. Good stocking stuffer idea. "It has been a while since I made music on the MindStorms bricks. But now I present the longest and most complicated piece of MindStorms music I have ever made.
The title of the melody is "the Future Child" and the idea is to make a cheerfull bleepy melody with the NXT's tones and use the other sounds as effects while an organ and a synthesizer supplies the orchestra.
Most of the pictures are robots made by myself. The rest is something I photographed at the First LEGO League competition in Herning back in 2007. The screenshots are from the NXT-G PC programming tools.
This piece of music is made completely without sampling or time editing. Everything is played in real-time in 8 tracks with the MindStorms bricks in front of two microphones. So the melody is actually played on the 4-key LEGO keyboard and the NXT buttons. The other instruments are Yamaha HE-8 organ Roland JX-8P synthesizer and CR-1000 drum machine. A Revox B77 can also be seen in the background."
"I have a few Prophet tunes available but they're not exactly demos. All the sounds are my own. Only the first one is completely effects free, but the others have only a little reverb (except for one track in the last one).
http://music.boxoftextures.com/track/mountain-rhythms Everything is Prophet except for the swirly textures (which is an Oberheim Matrix 6R). The pulses track and the stringish track have no effects. The "lead" track, on the other hand, is, uh, drenched in flanging, reverb and compression, so it's altered pretty far from the original sound."
