Oberkorn Test Jam

YouTube via FatSynthDude — June 05, 2010 — "So it turns out that the Oberkorn problem was just one of having been given the wrong power supply. I've contacted Noisebug about it, so hopefully they'll get me the right one soon so that I can run the Telemark and the Oberkorn simultaneously. XD

In the meantime, here's a quick jam session I threw together to make sure everything was working. Nothing too fancy is going on here, just a cheesy psy-trance loop I threw together. I got the Oberkorn mainly for modulation rather than note sequencing. In this video, it's controlling the filter of the FRXS, the filter for the Red Square, and the filter for the Pro One. The gates are being used to bounce the steps to wonderful yet random places. The Oberkorn is being clocked from MIDI, which works extremely well, by the way. ZTracker is sequencing the synth notes as well as the drums from the MPC1000. Mixing is done by a pair of StudioLives. Effects are being handled by the StudioLive's onboard effects, a Zoom 1202, a Peavey AddVerb II, and a pair of Lexicon MX300's.

I apologize that I ended up having to use the camera's audio for this video. The StudioLives were supposed to be recording the main outs to the computer for later syncing, but because my computer hates me, it recorded all of the individual channels with no problem, but not the master output. I would just go back and rerecord it, but I'm fat and lazy, so this is the end result. :-("

Virus TI Atomizer experiment with Line6 M9 looper MIDI sync-ed to Monomachine

YouTube via polishbroadcast — June 04, 2010 — "Trying out a few things at once for the first time: looping a guitar with the M9 slaved to the MIDI clock of the Monomachine, then running that audio through the VIrus TI to be Atomized. The Atomizer is being controlled by a MIDI sequence track on the Monomachine."

Roland SN-R8-01 & SN-R8-08 PCM ROM Demo

YouTube via zibbybone — June 05, 2010 — "Forgive me followers for it has been nearly 2 months since my last video - I've been busy with work and life. I scored these two PCM cards (Contemporary Percussion & "Dry") for the Roland R-8 & R-8M yesterday at an estate sale along with a Linn 9000 and Studio Electronics SE-1. Many have regarded the Roland R-8 as the best ROM drum machine ever made and I tend to agree. It is still a great drum machine today, although I prefer the R-8M rack versions. I just wish someone could come up with a way to increase the internal ROM sounds. Enjoy this "filler" video and hopefully my life will settle down so I can get back to making videos of my vintage synths in the near future."

NanoStudio iPhone - First Demo

YouTube via BlipInteractive — June 03, 2010 — "NanoStudio is a music app for iPhone which combines sampling, synthesis, sequencing and mastering.

Much more info at http://www.blipinteractive.co.uk

Record your ideas in real time, mix synth layers with samples, compose and arrange your tune using the powerful sequencer and bring the mix alive with real time effects such as reverb, waveshaping and delay. You can use your own samples or record them using the microphone. NanoStudio's low latency audio engine is custom engineered for iPhone, capable of delivering an amazing 48 voice polyphony in CD quality stereo.

Synth

Introducing Eden, NanoStudio's versatile synth. Eden creates analogue sounds ranging from deep basslines and fat pads all the way up to squealing 303 lines and heavily distorted leads. Each voice has 2 anti-aliased oscillators modulated in mix, ring or sync configurations fed into a low, band or high pass 2 pole resonant filter.

Eden's virtual patchbay allows you to connect 3 envelope generators and 4 beat-sync LFO's to create modulation mayhem. Real-time performance becomes a truly interactive experience with dual X/Y controllers, accelerometer input and a pitch bend wheel, all totally configurable via the patchbay. Controller movements can be recorded and edited using the sequencer

It doesn't stop there. NanoStudio allows you to use 4 synths simultaneously, each with its own insert effects such as waveshaping, chorus and delay. Create complex sonic textures using multi-mode to layer up to 4 different voice presets. When you want to go beyond basic oscillators, load up a sample and process it just like a normal synth voice - great for mashing up vocals or even the whole mix.

When you're ready to get really creative, NanoStudio allows you to resample its own output and trigger the sample via the pads or keys, freeing up synths and effects to add even more sonic goodness to your composition.

Trigger Pads

Record samples using the built in microphone, resample NanoStudio's own output or upload your own samples over Wifi using the NanoSync tool for PC and Mac. Edit your samples using NanoStudio's built-in wave editing tools and trigger them using the 16 pads. Adjust pitch, pan, volume and envelopes and assign each sample to one of the 3 output busses, each with its own effect and filter setup.

Sequencer

Record performances in real-time using the keys and sample pads or create patterns and controller sweeps by drawing them in the piano roll editor. Arrange your patterns into a complete song using the track editor. Edit to your heart's content while the song is playing and rest assured that every editing and recording operation has multiple undo/redo.

Mastering

Use Nanostudio's intuitive mixer to monitor levels and get your final mix just the way you want it. The mixer's two global effects sends allow you to individually apply reverb and delay effects to each track.

When you're ready to share your mix with others, and use NanoSync to copy the exported .wav file to your PC or Mac over Wifi."
