Neurohedron: Overview

Neurohedron: Overview from Tedb0t on Vimeo.

"The Neurohedron is a novel music instrument and multimodal software controller that I conceived of as a nonlinear sequencer—a three dimensional hardware interface with twelve nodes arranged as a dodecahedron. With this structure, there is no clear or de facto path that the progression from one step to the next may take, unlike the linear and prescribed nature of a traditional sequencer. In conjunction with its neural-network-based software, the Neurohedron is a tool for shaping improvisational composition and performance.

SK-Synth: A subtractive FPGA synthesizer

via stekern on electro-music.com where you will find more info including samples and download links.

"This is a project I have been working on for a while.
It is a subtractive synthesizer implemented in an FPGA.
Features:
* 2 DCO's with sawtooth, square, triangle and sine waveform generation
* LFO that can be modulate the filter, amplitude or pitch. Possible waveforms are: sawtooth, square and triangle.

* LP-12 filter with adjustable frequency and resonance.
* Filter envelope
* Amplitude envelope.

I have been using a Avnet spartan 3A devboard with a breakoutboard with midi connector and a I2S DA-converter.
In this device the polyphony is set to 8 voices, but it is easily adjustable in the VHDL-source code. I also have received reports that it is easy to implement several SK-Synths to achieve multitimbrality (on a spartan-3e board).

The synth is controlled by a computer application written in Qt and it runs on both Linux and Windows.

The store owner was nice enough to let us use his power and even invited us to come back and play again on Halloween for a street party.

Using the Snyderphonics Manta on the Android Lust Animalia Tour

Using the Snyderphonics Manta on the Android Lust Animalia Tour from Christopher Jon on Vimeo.

"I recently returned from a five week tour with Android Lust where I played the Manta as my main instrument . The Manta is a touch sensitive instrument interface which can be programmed in an environment such as Max/MSP.

For this tour the Manta was controlling a Virus Rack and a Mono Evolver via a patch I wrote in Max For Live. I'm also processing Shikhee's vocals in real time (with a granular Max For Live effect) and controlling the parameters with the Manta in "centroid" mode (turns it into an XY multitouch surface).

Sorry for the spotty sound (camera microphone).
