Buchla Beat II

YouTube via boobtube356 — April 06, 2010 — "More fun this time with (a rather abrupt) preset change."

YouTube via ugufru — April 06, 2010 — "Recorded on April 7th, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder for the video (sorry it's so fuzzy). Mastered in iMovie. Demonstrates the Miduino as a MIDI Clock Master, generating it's own MIDI Clock messages that are send to the Alesis SR-16 and Waldorf XT synthesizer (arpeggiators in multimode). The Waldorf adds a nice evolving electronic hi-hat and bass sounds. The LED on the Miduino flashes every 1/4 note, and this pin can be used as an external trigger for analog modular synthesizers."

MIDI Clock Synchronization Arduino

"Recorded on April 6th, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder for the video. Mastered in iMovie. Demonstrates using MIDI clock messages from an Alesis SR-16 to synchronize the pulse trigger to an LED on a Miduino. If you turn up the audio, you can hear the drum machine in the background. Sorry it's not louder!"

infinite melody demo

YouTube via cirtcele — April 06, 2010 — "This was originally recorded as a demo of the CGS Infinite Melody, but I quite like it so made a vid to go with it.
Original description: CGS 1/f melody, clocks and CV from CGS dual LFO, output to CGS VCO, VCO tri out to CGS Wave Multiplier, then thru spring reverb purloined from a dead organ (well, it was dead once I had finished with it)."

Biscuiting w/ a pinky drum synth (by Franck Smith)

YouTube via odiolorgnette — April 06, 2010 — "Biscuiting w/ a pinky drum synth (by Franck Smith) © 2010 — Biscuit by Oto Machines is a 8-bit effects/processor allowing precise Lo-Fi treatments and rate frequency downgrading. Used here with drum synth mixing adapted turntable drumming and scratching technics w/ video-game esthetic and real-time electronic beat-making (No loops and no sequencer used here).

Material in this video:
- Handsonic HPD-15 (by Roland)
- Biscuit (by Oto Machines) *FX section not used here

N.B. Some of the routines obtained here were partly inspired -- in their content and esthetic -- by turntablists Qbert and D-styles . Although nothing can rival real vinyl manipulation by experts, a personal adaptation of these techniques on Handsonic makes imagine new ways in real time electronics.

IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES WHEN VIEWING VIDEO MATERIAL OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND SYSTEM.
