"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made entirely with Plogue Bidule and has been edited with Audacity. The virtual images have been created with Gephex. Enjoy !"

I asked Frederic what role Audacity played. He replied:
"Better stereo spacialization, add of a slight stereo phasing and reinforcement of the low-end of the spectra."

"Jammin in 63.833cET.
Using a synthesizers.com Q960 and Q962 module for sequencing into the Q172 quantizer aid. Using Li'l Miss Scale Oven (LMSO) to load in the notes into the programmable quantizer and sending note to the Virus TI while playing the Novation ReMOTE 37SL. Recorded in Cubase 4.
Three programmable scales which were portions of the carlos beta 63.833cET tuning set are sending control voltages to the oscillators for pitch data and the selection of voltage is made from the Q960 sequential controller. This is run at a high rate with three echo devices to merge the sequences into a background river of arpeggiated chords. Three rows of sequences (8 steps) each are tapped into with the Q962 sequential switch. The switch is controlled by a pulse out from step 1 of the sequencer into a sample & hold/noise source which delivers a random voltage out to an instrument interface. This interface threshold is set high to only shift the sequential switch every so often randomly. It even caused the sequential switch to step backwards from time to time. First time I've ever seen that.
Li'l Miss Scale Oven can be purchased from X.J.Scott's website at http://www.nonoctave.com
Arrick modular synthesizer systems are available through http://www.synthesizers.com"
