NAMM: Bob Moog Foundation Highlights Legacy and Synthesizer History in Three Events at Winter NAMM 2010

"The Bob Moog Foundation will be co-sponsoring three events at winter NAMM 2010, which takes place in Anaheim, CA on January 14-17, 2009 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Main Showcase on NAMM Floor Highlights Items From Moog Exhibit – From January 14-17, the Bob Moog Foundation, in collaboration with the NAMM Museum of Making Music, will feature dozens of items taken from their exhibit Waves of Inspiration:The Legacy of Moog in the main showcase on the floor of the convention center. Of particular note, an extremely rare Eaton-Moog Multi-Touch Sensitive keyboard will be on public display for the first time. Numerous vintage instruments, photographs, articles and project notes will also be on display. The full exhibit runs at the Museum through April 30, 2010.

An Evening Celebrating The Legacy of Vintage Keyboards Through Documentary Film - On Friday night, January 15th, from 6-8pm in the Avila Room at the Anaheim Hilton, neo-symphonic synthesist Amin Bhatia and documentary filmmaker Dianna Dilworth headline an evening exploring the evolution and impact of vintage keyboards. Amin Bhatia will be joined by Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation for a question and answer session followed by a screening of a short documentary on the making of his innovative realization of Bolero Electronica, for which he used over 70 synthesizers covering 75 years of evolution in synthesis in music. The documentary features rock legends Steve Porcaro and Patrick Moraz and Roland Founder Ikutaro Kakehashi.

Following Bhatia, Dianna Dilworth and Markus Resch of the Mellotron Archive will screen Mellodrama: The Mellotron Movie which explores the rising and falling fortunes of the Mellotron – the first musical keyboard to “sample” the sounds of other instruments – from its birth in a California garage in the 1950s, through its dominance on concert stages in the 1970s, through its almost religious cult of followers in the 2000s. From the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields” to Black Sabbath to Kanye West, Mellodrama traces a 50-year odyssey of musical invention, revolution, betrayal, and rediscovery.

Panel Discussion To Explore the Impact of Bob Moog's Work on the Music Industry Past, Present and Future as Interpreted though Museum Exhibit - On Sunday January 17th from 3-4pm in the Idea Center at NAMM, The Bob Moog Foundation and the NAMM Museum of Making Music will present a panel discussion in celebration of the premiere exhibition Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of Moog. The discussion will involve industry and musical luminaries in an exploration of the impact of Bob Moog's work on the music industry as it relates to the exhibition at the NAMM Museum of Making Music public display through April 30, 2010.

My First Micron Video

YouTube via 86scirocco8v
"A little sample of some of my favourite Alesis Micron patches.

I went to my faves folder and went through all the patches while jamming to each one, afterwards I cut down the 25 minutes worth of footage to the 6 mins you see here, editing out all the horrible playing in between :)

Most of the patches are either stock or downloaded with a few of them being my own creations.

More videos coming soon. Thanks for watching!"

My first Roland Juno 106 (HS-60) Demo

YouTube via 86scirocco8v
"My first Juno 106 video.

In the pictures you see my Roland HS-60 which is a Juno 106 with built in speakers, the sound engine is exactly the same.

I created a midi file and then let it play while I tweaked the synth live.

Sorry for the lack of video, I thought I pushed record but then at the end of it all I noticed that I forgot. Luckily the audio did get recorded. I will make sure to press it for the next video :)"

I enjoyed making this video and hope to make some more soon. If you have any requests or suggestions for future videos let me know!"

Using Tattoo's MIDI Output to drive a Drum Rack in Ableton Live

YouTube via AudioDamage001
"This brief tutorial shows how to set up a drum rack to receive MIDI from Tattoo, so that you can use Tattoo's sophisticated grid sequencer and randomization on other sounds. You can also use this method to double or replace individual sounds from Tattoo, while still using the internal sounds. Note that this is only applicable to the VST version, as the AU version doesn't have MIDI out."
