Roland JX-10 SysEx Edit by Colin Fraser

"Like many JX10 owners without a PG800 programmer I was disappointed to find that Roland had made a complete arse of the midi implementation - there is no way to edit sounds via midi. So I got hold of the service manual and the datasheet for the 6303 processor used in the assigner board, and set about dis-assembling the firmware, in the hope of finding the 'bug' that stopped SysEx sound edits working." And he did. Full details here.

A New World in Sequencers

Well, sort of... Dustin spotted this Wired article on virtual musicians.
"The concept goes well beyond basing the avatars in guitar-based videogames on famous performers, although the idea is similar. Using complex software, North Carolina’s Zenph Sound Innovations models the musical performances of musicians from Thelonius Monk to Rachmaninoff, based on how they played in occasionally old, scratchy recordings. Using that model, the company creates new recordings as they would be played by deceased musicians, if they were around to record with today’s equipment, to critical acclaim. And that’s just for starters.

Roland System 100 - Synthesizer 101

via this auction
"The Synthesizer 101 section is a fully self-contained analog mono-synth. It features a 37-note keyboard (with no performance controls, velocity or aftertouch), and lots of sliders to tweak. Its design is similar to the SH-series analog synths. Controls for the VCO, LFO, VCF lowpass/highpass filters, VCA with ADSR, Noise, and Portamento/Glide effects are all within hands reach.

Each component of the System 100 was relatively self-sufficient with its own power supply and housing. Roland's idea was that someone would start out with the Synthesizer 101 and add on to it piece by piece."

Eigenharp Alpha meets Kyma

Eigenharp Alpha meets Kyma from bar|none on Vimeo.

"Ever since I saw the Alpha I wanted these two to meet but technical limitations in both eigenD and Kyma made it not ideal and there was more latency than I wanted. The latest version of eigenD and the latest Kyma support virtualized midi drivers and Kyma now sends Midi over OSC via an ethernet connection.

This is a test of how responsive it is. I would say it's a resounding success! This is going to be too much fun.

And it's extremely easy to setup as well. Turn them both on and go.

This was recorded with the built in camera mic. The actual sound coming from Kyma is so realistic."
