KORG monotron ~君が代~

YouTube via humanmaestro — April 25, 2010 — "This is my first playing on "KORG monotron".
"monotron" is often used as 'Filter' using the audio input jack.
But "monotron" can take a song by the ribbon controller.

日本の楽器メーカー'KORG'のAnalogue Ribbon Synthesizer "monotron" を使って『君が代』を演奏してみました♪
エフェクトなどは一切使用していない"素の音"の状態です!
Audio In端子も付いているため、フィルターとして使われる事が多い"monotron"ですが、ちゃんと曲を演奏する事もできます♪"

chipPad 1.1 Beta Demo

chipPad 1.1 Beta Demo from earsmack on Vimeo.

"Visit earsmack.com/ for more info

Here is a quick little jam with one of my demo tunes using chipPad 1.1 beta 1. Hopefully in a few days this update will be submitted to the app store. Please excuse my lack of rhythm in the middle :-)

Changes in this version include:

- Tracks no longer mute (until the next quantize point) when re-triggered, now they keep on playing and it sounds much more musical
- There are per-track mute and solo buttons on the Mix page (that are saved with the session so you can start tracks out muted or soloed)
- Track numbers, mute group numbers, mute/solo status and track audio file name are now optionally displayed on the playing surface
- Microfades are applied to audio to avoid clicks when musically appropriate. The more you play towards the top of a cell, the more the microfade will occur. Play towards the bottom of a cell to apply less microfade. You can hear this about half-way through the video where I have the bottom-most (from my perspective) track playing and I'm moving my finger up and down the cells.
- Whenever you quit the app your current configuration will be saved so you won't lose your work by accident.
- Various other optimizations and tweaks.

Please send your comments and suggestions and follow us on Twitter @earsmack for updates. Thanks for all the great support!"

"My friend Cory Flanigan (drummer in the Suit & Tie Guy Band) decided a while back that he wanted to play solo drums and synthesisers, and has been learning about and acquiring tools and such for a year or so and finally we have some U-Toob video to post. 4 voices of a Korg RADIAS controlled from a TrapKat integrated into his drum kit. there are no laptops or tapes or sequencing besides what's in the RADIAS."
