YouTube via hdebbache2000
"Hey, here is part of an improv I did with some interesting sounds. The main attraction here is the tb-303 sounding bass, which sounds OK IMO. Cheesy, but very fun to play.. All done with the little red box"

RjDj - A Brief Introduction

YouTube via RjDjme. rjdj on

"www.rjdj.me
What is RjDj?
RjDj explores the possibilities of new personal music players like the iPhone or the iTouch to create mind-blowing hearing sensations. The RjDj app makes a number of downloadable scenes from different artists available.

One app is usually a compilation of several scenes the RjDj equivalent of a music track - each vested with different mind-boggling characteristics. While some apps like the Trippy app use microphone input to manipulate or create music, others like the Shake app are all about moving, shaking and dancing with your device.

The hearing sensation
RjDj is nothing like youve ever heard before. It connects the music you hear to the world around you, creating a unique, acoustically rich listening experience. Every time youre using RjDj, the music is created in the very moment you are listening to it. Customised by your surroundings, the music becomes an entirely unique, individual soundtrack to your life.

Record and share
When youre having a special musical moment and want to preserve it, no problem: Just press the record button! RjDj also allows you to share special moments of musical pleasure with the rest of the world. For that we built a web application, which allows a hassle-free upload to our server. Your shared recording will be vested with a nice rjdj.me/url and is accessible from iPhone/iTouch or PC. Also, you can share your tracks with your friends on almost any social network out there."

Moog Modular Made Out of Snow

via Michelle Moog-Koussa of The Bob Moog Foundation
"You may have heard that we got 13 inches of snow in one day here in Asheville. We were snowed in, and we are still without power at home (luckily, it's been restored in my office). On Saturday, I decided to build a snow ode to Erik Norlander's mammoth"Wall of Doom" modular synthesizer. The proportions of the snow version are the same -- 7 feet long, 6 feet tall. My son, Gregory, helped me amass all of the snow."

DIY Chroma Knob Box Update

via Randel on the Rhodes Chroma mailiing list:"I've been through many revisions of the front panel graphics of the knob box that I am building for myself, and present the latest at: link [pictured]

I've taken some liberties with the nomenclature ( Filter instead of Cutoff, eg.), and the sequence of parameters from left to right in an attempt to make the interface more intuitive.

Upon the movement of a knob, the 2x16 LCD display will show the name of that parameter on the top line, and the value of the parameter on the bottom.

I have an 8 knob prototype built, and the immediate accessibility it provides dramatically changes the experience of playing the instrument - it's a whole new world!

I plan to have a 96-knob version complete in March, which I will photograph and videotape. If it functions as expected, I will explore the possibility of making a production run for interested parties.

-Randel"

BTW, if you own a Rhodes Chroma and aren't yet on the Chroma list, I highly recommend you join. You can find info on how on the excellent Rhodes Chroma website. Be sure to check out the site for more. The site and the list are constantly bringing new live to this incredible synth.
