Just for fun: JP8000 emulating a Casiotone

YouTube via DX5 | September 07, 2010

"*** New covers coming soon... Stay tuned ***

This is a kind of entertaiment I did while working in a project that will be released at the end of the year (news coming soon).

A Roland JP8000 sounding like a "piano" casiotone sound :) By the way, the song is the infamous VL TONE rom sound, responsible of my interest on synthesizers."

Filth/Dubstep Siren/Synth

YouTube via iowanchef | August 21, 2010

"Inspired by the classic Crackle Box (or "Kraakdoo") and Dub Siren circuits, these synths are based on a 4093 Quad NAND chip with metal foil tape creating the "keys." An interpretation of the example given in the book Handmade Electronic Music, I find the sounds created in this fashion match up quite well with some of the rougher, uglier dubstep varietals; filth, gore, etc."

Missing Link Wireless MIDI Device - Wireless MIDI for the iPad and iPhone

YouTube via minhternet | September 05, 2010

No wires. No PC. This is huge when you think about it. This will allow you to control your synths wirelessly and directly via your mobile device.

"This is the Missing Link.

It is a wireless device that receives OSC and outputs MIDI.

When I open my settings in my phone it shows up as a network that I can connect to.

When I go to my OSC app, and press a button, an OSC message will be sent wirelessly from my phone.

This message will get received by the Missing Link, which converts it to MIDI and sends it to the instrument.

I can now use my phone to play a keyboard or control my mixer or MIDI LED lights."

via ARMATRONIX:
"This is just a prototype, we have custom circuitry in the works. Right now, we have OSC > MIDI working, and we'll be adding the reverse MIDI > OSC functionality soon, as well as a USB MIDI connection in case you do want to use it with a computer."

YouTube via northblip | May 30, 2010

"Nyle Steiner is the inventor of the Electronic Valve Instrument (EVI) and the Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI). As well as being an amazing musician, he is one of the kindest most humble people I've ever met. This is a clip from the Park City TV "Mountain Morning Show" with host, Jen Hardman. This was done live at 7am, May 12th, 2010.
For more information on Nyle, please visit his home page.

"notice the custom sequencer/chord voicers built directly into the controller. this is a one-of-a-kind slickness for wind controller players. i had read articles about nyle talking about these kind of problems with chord voicing, etc in the past and to see him still at it and ironing it all out is inspirational.."

"This is a total improv for Nyle and me from PCTV "Mountain Morning Show" with host, Jen Hardman. We did this live at 7am, May 12th, 2010. Please excuse some of the sound distortion and the sudden cutoff at the end."
