YouHero - rehearsal of Palle Dahlstedt's "Short Term Memory"
YouTube via otoskope — May 06, 2010 — "Katarina Widell and Patrik Karlsson rehearse Palle Dahlstedt's piece Short Term Memory - Game Piece for Game Guitar.
YouHero is a project to turn the passive "musicianship" of a Guitar Hero player into something more creative - a real instrument using the Guitar Hero guitar as a controller. The guitar is connected directly to a laptop, running a custom software designed and programmed by Palle Dahlstedt, implemented in MaxMSP, Java and SynthMaker.
The YouHero project will tour around Sweden in 2010, on concert stages and in schools, encouraging kids to create their own music for this new instrument.

The premiere took place May 5th, 2010 at Pusterviksbaren, Göteborg, Sweden, and this is a rehearsal for that concert, filmed at Element Studio."

Blacet Mini Wave Available in "board level only" Kit Form
via the Blacet newsletter:
"I've been getting a lot of requests for the Mini Wave from folks who want to make their own front panel to match a DIY or different format.
I've added two "board level only" options: one without the front panel, jacks, pots, knobs and one with the pots and knobs included.
All other parts and manual are included as with the complete kit.
Note that we can do repair work only on complete kits, so these partial kits are for serious and technically competent builders.

iPhone directly generates CVs
Note this is from the iPhone to the modular direct with nothing in between the two.
Direct control of your modular via the iPhone or iPad.
YouTube via expertsleepers — May 06, 2010 — "Proof-of-concept of an iPhone directly controlling a modular synth, using the Expert Sleepers Silent Way AC Encoder technique as described here:
http://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/siwa...
The original idea of this was to allow non-DC-coupled audio interfaces to be used with CV generation software such as Silent Way. Taken to its logical conclusion though, it provides a method to get CVs out of any audio device.
Silent Way is a suite of VST & AU plug-ins for controlling analogue synths directly from a DAW. See http://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/sile... for more details."

Arturia Interview on Makingsound
This is a great interview. Don't miss it. You can find the interview in French here and Googlish here.Pictured here:
- Vanessa Giraudet packing software.
- Vanessa Giraudet
- Richard Phan
- Philip Wicker at work on the keyboard version of Origin
- Bruno Pillet - Embedded System Engineer- Frédéric Brun, President of Arturia
- The Prophet VS, Jupiter 8 and CS-80 originals, which have served as models
- A prototype of Origin
"Vanessa Arturia comes now in its eleventh year. I personally am arrival in September 2003, at the time of development of CS-80 and the Minimoog. Initially the team consisted of six or seven people, now it is twenty. And we will be required to expand the ranks, because there are staff planned for this year.
Vanessa's story begins with Arturia Storm, but it is truly our replica of the Moog Modular, which propelled the company. At the time, Bob Moog himself said he could not tell the difference between our software and its own synthesizer, which has contributed to our knowledge on the international stage. Encouraged by the positive feedback we have gradually expanded the range of "V", whose aim is to offer replicas of popular vintage synthesizers."
