Rendezvous - working on a new track

YouTube via OfficialRendezvous — May 26, 2010 — "We have srarted working on some new tracks, and this is one of them :)

This video is an insight on how we usually work on new materials and how it looks and sound from a very close point of view. we always start from a very small musical idea that one of us brings to the studio, we then start jamming together using that idea until we get to the point where the we see clearly the basic melody, harmony and structure of our new track.

Hagai Izenberg (Keyboards) and Itai Simon (Bass) are RENDEZVOUS, a two piece band which has just finished working on its debut album with the help of legendery mixer and producer Dave Bascombe (Depehce Mode, Tears For Fears).

MY DESK IS 8-BIT

MY DESK IS 8-BIT from alex varanese on Vimeo.

"I recently found myself wondering what a video game might look like in the form of a stop motion animation. While a normal person's response to such a question would of course be "who gives a shit?" I possess few of the qualities typically associated with normalcy and was irrevocably compelled to find out. This is the result.

Also, I'd like to think I'm the first person to be inspired by Michel Gondry AND R-Type on the same project."

I asked Alex what he used for the music. He replied, "It was actually all done with Subtractors in Reason. Really simple stuff. Mostly square waves if I recall. A little distortion and reverb was added, but it's mostly bare waveform apart from that."

Waldorf Blofeld Editor OSX

via Carson aka bouchemandela the forum: "Hey all,
I've been working on a blofed editor built in MaxMsp on and off for about a week.
I still need to do a little work on the arpeggiator section, but everything else seems to be working fine. Below are links to both the editor file and some pics of the current revision, as well as a link to the Max 5 runtime which you will need to run the app. It only runs as a standalone as max5 has no ability to make plugins at the moment

*features include*
- get sound from synth, updates virtual editor with current sound buffer data
- Full control over all parameters including FX, Modifier, Modulation (Arp to be completed)
- onscreen feedback when parameters are changed on hardware

*To do*
- Finish Arp section and controls
- Devise a send patch with text input or possible librarian section
- implement some sort of monome arpeggiator controls
- implement Multi editing

*Setup*
- Under Global on the Blofeld, set ctrl send type as sysex/cc, ctrl receive to on, local control on
- In the Editor select the midi I/O and set input and output to appropriate blofeld channels.
- In the Editor hit get sound (bottom center), editor will update settings and away you go!

Let me know if you guys have any problems with this and I would be happy to help to the best of my abilities.
enjoy,
Carson"

Update via Carson on the Waldorf list (also mentioned in the comments of this post):

"*updates include*

- oscillator 1&2 shapes now include generic user wavetable slots
- arpeggiator section complete
- some fixes to some weirdness in the FX slots
- some other things I can't remember at the moment :)

@evening1 I'll think about how I might be able to include a randomise
button. At the moment it doesn't appear that the blofeld sends any message
when the randomise function is used, which leads me to believe that I would
have to rig something up.

@hopselektronics the editor sends CC's and Sysex to the blofeld but only
receives Sysex from the blofeld. To be honest i was inspired by your
editor, I have reaktor as well but was frustrated that I couldn't access all
the parameters. This was my first major foray into building an editor in
max. Even after using max on and off for the past few years, it makes my
head hurt. so thanks for your work as well! and everybody else that has made
and is working on editors!

I hope it provides you all with some long sleepless nights of synth mania!
cheers,
Carson"

dsi mopho demo #4 & elektron machinedrum

YouTube via jakomaron — May 26, 2010 — "mopho in a multi preset style (so many presets so little time)

The Elektron Machinedrum drives the Mopho (I use a mid machine with different pgm change on each note)
There's no computer in the process (cool)

I change the mophos preset bank on the breaks.

And I use some echoes of the boss RE-20 (space echo)

Peace love unity and have it fun.
