i9 03.20.2010 (Arturia Moog Modular V)

YouTube via infinite9ths — April 04, 2010 — "Listen to more music from infinite9ths at http://www.infinite9ths.com

i9 03.20.2010 was recorded using the Arturia Moog Modular V 2 software synthesizer with a Kurzweil SP76 Stage Piano as a MIDI controller onto a Tascam SX-1 LE Digital Production Environment utilizing 4 stereo tracks before mastering to stereo.

The visualizations were created using the Ryan Geiss MilkDrop plug-in through the Winamp player.

I'm working on some more music that will follow within the next few weeks.

Thanks for watching and listening."

ARP oddyssey mk II

YouTube via lesingemonotone — April 04, 2010 — "An ARP Oddyssey mk II just repaired for a friend."
I think I'm suffering from iPaditus. I see this and the first thing that comes to mind is the iPad docked on a MIDI keyboard controller with an ARP Odyssey screen.

Launchpad PureData Step Sequencer

Launchpad PureData Step Sequencer from j4s0n c4s3y on Vimeo.

"Work in progress, 8 page x 64 step MIDI sequencer, built with PureData with an "mlr" like mode. It can be driven by internal timing, or a looping midi clip to match Live's tempo. Made to work with the Impulse drum machine in Ableton Live, but could be adapted for whatever... also, maybe next I'll add clip-sequencer mode for some super choppy break biz, without needing robotic fingers. ;)"

iPad Arrives

Just got my iPad 64G today. Some pics and vids below. I love it.

Apps:
Smule Magic Piano (on iTunes)
KORG iElectribe (on iTunes)
FunkBox (iPhone version - on iTunes)

Update: I posted this last night right before I had to log off for the evening. I'll keep this update short. One thing I mentioned in this post and others was that I thought the iPod would finally bridge the gap between software and hardware, meaning software synths would finally feel like hardware on the device. In regards to iElectribe (for me) I can honestly say it does. The response is better than I expected. I thought it would be functional, but I did not expect it to be as smooth as it is, especially with small knobs vs. sliders. The response is direct and exact - no delay and no accidentally triggering things. I do not feel disconnected from the synth like I do with software synths on my laptop. Next step will be exploring how to sync it with external gear and how to control external gear, but as a stand alone chameleon for various synth engines, it can definitely deliver. KORG has definitely delivered.
