Circuit Bent Korg Kaossilator Ring Modulation LFO by freeform delusion
YouTube via eecouk | July 17, 2010
"Circuit Bent Korg Kaossilator
Two Ring Mod On/Off Switches - these bends are on the Kaossilator circuit board, no additional circuits added to create these. They can be a bit grainy but I think worth it! The Effect changes best when both switches are on then press the tap bpm or scale button. It also provides a gated effect when the screen flashes.
Get Lofi - LTC Precision kit for Pitch Down
Switchable LDR Pitch Control
Get Lofi - 555 Timer kit for switchable Vactrol LFO
2.5mm Jack added for Trigger in from the 4093 synth sequencer
Headphone output is now the main output source. Removed the output RCAs"

"Adam & Atau exploit a commonly available consumer electronics device, the Apple iPhone, as an expressive, gestural musical instrument. The device is well known an iconic object of desire in our society of consumption. The iPhone can play music as a commodity, and this is the way most listeners interact with it. Adam & Atau reappropriate the iPhone and its advanced technical capabilities to transform the consumer object into an expressive musical instrument for concert performance. In a duo, with one in each hand, they create a chamber music, 4-hands iPhone. The accelerometers which typically serve as tilt sensors to rotate photos in fact allow high precision capture of the performer's free space gestures. The multitouch screen, otherwise used for scrolling and pinch-zooming text, becomes a reconfigurable graphic user interface akin to the JazzMutant Lemur, with programmable faders, buttons, and 2D controllers that control synthesis parameters in real time. All this drives open source Pure Data (PD) patches running out of the free RJDJ iPhone app. A single advanced granular synthesis patch becomes the process by which a battery of sounds from the natural world are stretched, frozen, scattered, and restitched. The fact that all system components - sensor input, signal processing and sound synthesis, and audio output, are embodied in a single device make it very different than the typical controller + laptop model for digital music performance. The encapsulation in a self-contained, manipulable object take the iPhone beyond consumer icon to become a powerful, expressive musical instrument."
Atau and Adam at NYEAF
manwithfeathers | December 07, 2009
"Atau Tanaka and Adam Parkinson playing at the Frederick Loewe Theatre, NYU as part of the New York Electronic Arts Festival, 2009.
Atau plays the biomuse, which captures physiological neuron impulses resulting from muscle tension , using it to control samples and synthesis in Max / MSP. Adam uses RjDj to run Pure Data on two ipods, controlling granular synthesisers and other sound generators using the built-in tilt sensors.
Audio taken from handheld camera, hence quality not too great - will try and get hold of better audio from the gig."

Roland CR-8000 Drum Machine
via this auction
"The CR-8000 CompuRhythm was released right after the famous TR-808. The both machines feature the same sound engine for similar sounding instruments. Unfortunately they can't be edited on the CR-8000, although users have reported successfully adding their own decay and pitch modifications to the unit.
The sequencer offers 8 32-step user programmable patterns, 24 preset rhythms and 12 fills/intros (4 user). The beats are programmed by choosing the instrument and then entering the pattern step-by-step with 2 buttons (on/off).
Other controls include volume, tempo, accent and individual levels for the instruments.
There are pedal control inputs , a trigger output and DIN sync for synchronizing the unit with other machines."
