Day 175 / New Features!

Day 175 / New Features! from Charlie Visnic on Vimeo.

"This video is just a quick demonstration of some new features that I've added to my Monome app 64(video)Fingers. The new features include live quantization as well as a toggle mode for individual clips.

The toggle mode allows you to create a rhythm synced to the tempo aiding the ability to record patterns over it.

The video is cut up a little because I am pretty horrible at performing on the monome without practicing a bunch.

This was my creative thing for my creative thing-a-day blog at: theb-roll.com"

Richard Devine - Objects Of Granularity on Curtis for iPad

Objects Of Granularity by RichardDevine
"This track was composed for the "Curtis" (iphone/ipod/ipad) app by The Strange Agency. This piece is a Acousmatic composition based on everyday found objects. I recorded various wine glasses, gears, metal, motors, Ratchets, chimes, croaking frog scraper, Indian bells, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Santoor, waterphone, piano, hematite magnets, processed voice, underwater ambiances, computer, and sprinkled bits of Buchla 200e/Doepfer Euro rack Modular.

All of the sounds originally captured at 24-bit 96khz with a Neumann RSM 191 A/S stereo shotgun mic, SMK4060 Stereo Matched 4060-BM Miniature Omnidirectional Microphones and Sound Devices 702 recorder. Download the wave in 16-bit 44.1khz wave:)

Process and further granulate my piece with the"Curtis" app version 1.1 here on the itunes store."

Genovation Keypad MIDI Patch Changer

Programmable MIDI Preset Keypad via Genovation
Update via Grant B in the comments: "www.musictechnologiesgroup.com is the new home for this device."

"The Genovation MIDI Patch Changer is the perfect solution when you need to control MIDI presets for one or more devices, but you don't want to use a giant keyboard controller, MIDI footswitch or MIDI pedalboard. The MIDI Patch Changer has all the features you'd expect in a full-featured patch changing controller.

* Programmable, compact and easy to use.
* Manual mode lets you send Program Change as well as optional Bank Select MSB and LSB.
* Preset performance mode sends program-change-per-MIDI-channel as well as Bank Select on all 16 channels simultaneously -- per preset.
* Send 16 bytes of MIDI data of your choice (anything!) per Preset.
* 1 x 16 super-twist back-lit LCD.
* Detachable cabling for 5-pin DIN MIDI and USB-MIDI.
* "Flash" memory holds patches and config data.
* Firmware upgradeable (using MIDIOX or similar).
* 1 year warranty.

Dimension: 15.5cm x 9.6cm x 3.5cm (6.1" x 3.75" x 1.5")
Weight: 0.3 kg (0.65 lbs)
Manual Mode: For changing patches on the fly, you can select your MIDI Channel, optional Bank Selects* and Patch Change value(s).

The values can be typed in on the number pad or use the up/down keys to scroll through presets. When the patch number rolls over 0, enabled bank selects are automatically incremented or decremented. Move through hundreds of patches with ease.

The unit allows you to send the MIDI commands instantly as-you-type-them or prepare them first and execute them later with one keypress.

Bank Selects can be quickly disabled/muted when not needed or desired.

16 bytes of Arbitrary MIDI Data can be used for sending controller data, system exclusive, RPN, NRPN or anything you need.

When power is interrupted, the unit remembers exactly where you left off.

* MIDI Controller values 0 and 32.
Preset Mode: You can configure 100 performance presets each containing:

* 16x (one for each MIDI channel) bank MSB, bank LSB, patch change.
* 16 bytes of arbitray MIDI data -- send what you want.
* Name for the LCD.
* Sys Ex implementation allows for setting up presets on a PC.

Extras: You can upgrade the flash firmware so that your MIDI Patch Changer is always up to date.

Free Windows PC software for creating the Sys Ex files is available."

Goldbaby SuperAnalog808 Sample Set

Samples on Gooldbaby here

"SuperAnalog808 - 24 bit / 96kHz

Punchy, warm, analog drums with Round Robin Layering. Using high-end outboard and a compulsive attention to detail... this 808 sample set is pure analog drum heaven.

Why have you created another TR-808 sample set?

For a start the 808 is one of my favorite drum machines! Secondly I thought I could offer something a little different. This sample pack has been recorded at a higher sampler rate and has extensive Round Robin treatment to recreate the feel and movement of an analog drum machine. The Tape808 used tape to give it extra Mojo... this time I have used some new high end outboard. Tasty...

Is there anything else that is different?

Yes there certainly is. This pack has tuned chromatic BD and Conga patches. So you can play them on your keyboard!"

Mooger Fooger MuRF MF-105

YouTube via edpoulsen9191 | July 19, 2009

"messing around with a Moog MF-105. Saw alot of posts saying there aren't enough demos of this pedal. Hope this is a good one. Even saw one comment that said the MuRF was just an expensive phaser...... couldn't be further from the truth. Remember, this isn't a pedal in your typical sense of the word, it's a synthesizer being controlled by a guitar. It's used to give the SOUND (not simply the guitar sound) width and dimension, or to completely tear the sound apart and reconstruct it in any manner of your choosing. Keep on moogin'."

edpoulsen9191 | August 29, 2010

"messing around with a few moogs again, sorry about the static, i'm not sure if it's the pre-amp i'm using or the new mixing software, or both. I'm using a dotcom noise generator (the low frequency setting), then running it through the murf, then the freqbox (i bypass it though) and then through the ringmod and finally the lpf. I was trying to go for a synth drum sample sound and while there is no "fail" when making sounds with foogers i've decided to call this one 'It was late, and I was tired'"
