"Just a few aspects of this small & strong synthesizer. On the Vimeo-video are some noises that are not original." "The ARP Axxe is NOT a half of an ARP Odyssey. A stronger VCA gives the instrument a quite different character."
YouTube via 4mspedals — June 16, 2010 — "The Shuffling Clock Multiplier is the latest Eurorack-format Clocker module from 4ms. It's the spastic cousin of the Rotating Clock Divider.
In this video two SCMs and some RCDs are all synchronized using a Bananalogue VCS's End-out for the master clock. The SCMs/RCDs are triggering some Analogue Solutions SD/BD/HH88 drum modules (bass drum on a slow Shuffle-4, open hat on S5, snare on a slow S8, hat accent on S8, closed hat is sequentially switched between S6 and x8).
A slow rise-fall CV signal from the VCS is controlling the CV Slip on the main SCM, which is pushing beats variable ahead in time from where they normally fall.
The clocks are also gating an ADSR envelope, which sweeps the Position CV on a 4ms Atoner to generate the melody line. A Wiard/Malekko Borg Filter 2 gates the Atoner with the Shuffle-5 clock to make distinct notes. A high pitch from an Anti-Osc also gets gated by the Shuffle-3 clock about half way through the video.
At the end I speed up the VCS which makes everything run faster and faster until we hear the limit of the clocks (about 3kHz, or 180,000 BPM)!"

"Normally I make the music first and then record the video. This time it was the other way round: About a year ago I wondered how a carwash would look from the inside of the car. So the next time I took my Suzuki to the carwash I placed the camera inside the car before starting the wash.....thing.
I didn't really know what to do with that recording but then I got the idea to play the old 1970's classic "Carwash". Another unusuality is the inclusion of a sax solo in the arrangement. I hope you don't mind.
Apart from the foghorn I used a Yamaha PSR-78, a Roland E-15, the Technics SX-C600 organ, and the Böhm Station one."

YouTube via nem221 — June 16, 2010 — "The MP-7 provides all of the drums, percusion and bass. The TR-Rack provides the keyboard and string sounds. All music and frequencies performed by NewManiac. Tracks 1-8 are the drums tracks, Tracks 9-16 are bass, keys, strings. Everything was sequenced on the MP-7."
"In this video, I explain my new album, Black Allegheny. The album was created using algorithmic composition software that utilizes swarm intelligence. In this video, I explain how this music differs from traditionally composed music.
"Becoming is an algorithmic composition program written in java, that builds upon some of John Cage’s frequently employed compositional processes. Cage often used the idea of a “gamut” in his compositions. A gamut could be a collection of musical fragments, or a collection of sounds, or a collection of instruments. Often, he would arrange the gamut visually on a graph, then use that graph to piece together the final output of a piece. Early in his career, he often used a set of rules or equations to determine how the output would relate to the graph. Around 1949, during the composition of the piano concerto, he began using chance to decide how music would be assembled from the graph and gamut.
In Becoming, I directly borrow Cage’s gamut and graph concepts; however, the software assembles music using concepts from the AI subfield of swarm intelligence. I place a number of agents on the graph and, rather than dictating their motions from a top-down rule-based approach, the music grows in a bottom-up fashion based on local decisions made by each agent. Each agent has preferences that determine their movement around the graph. These values dictate how likely the agent is to move toward food, how likely the agent is to move toward the swarm, and how likely the performer is to avoid the predator.
"This is the newer black model which has longer battery life than the white and beige version. The Revolution has onboard FX and audio in unlike the X0XB0X. You can jack in another synthesizer's audio and midi out to its inputs and use the 303 filter & reverb! You can also use it as a Midi to CV converter and sequencer for your modular setup. It has pattern, pattern linking, and a seperate song mode. The Remix button and two remix knobs will shuffle your patterns in realtime while playing live! I have not seen another machine with this feature."
