Building a SammichSID on Synth.nl

via Synth.nl. You'll find other projects documented from start to finish there as well. If you are new and/or interested in DIY, it will give you a good idea on what goes into them.
"Last week I started another new DIY project. It is a SammichSID synthesizer. Actually I will be building two of them one for my Friend Hans and one for myself. It is a bit like the MB-6582 I build before but a bit simpler. It has only 2 SID chips on board. But it will have that same fat Commodore 64 sound that brings you back to the 80's right away."

"We are working on all waveforms to be compatible with your synthesizers more directly. We will also format the waveforms for use with SHRUTNI1 from Mutable Instruments"

StepPolyArp - Midi Step Polyphonic Arpeggiator for the iPad

"StepPolyArp is a midi step polyphonic arpeggiator. The arpeggiator does not play any sound itself, it transmits midi notes to a Mac or a PC to be used in combination with any sequencer, virtual instrument (VSTi, Audio Unit) or midi synthesizer.

The arpeggiator can transform chords into sequences of notes played one after the other in several ways. A matrix polyphonic step modulate arpeggiated notes in time and pitch. The main controllers (velocity, modulation, panning, volume, aftertouch, and pitch bend) are also programmable through a step editor. The integrated keyboard automatically adapts to the selected musical scale.

Features:

* 32 steps programmable matrix
* 11 configurable transposition lines
* Features copy and paste
* 8 octaves virtual keyboard
* Velocity, modulation, pan, volume, aftertouch and pitch bend step controller
* The apeggiator and keyboard fit the selected scale
* 6 arpeggiator modes
* 1 chord mode
* Unlimited number of saves
* Random patterns creation
* Presets manager
* Presets shared between computer and iPad using iTunes 9.1 or later
* 128 Undo/Redo levels
* Lockable keyboard (latch mode)

Supported midi connections:

* DSMidiWifi (free)"

"Dark Signals" by Mark Mosher (Live Rehearsal Video)

"Dark Signals" by Mark Mosher (Live Rehearsal Video) from Mark Mosher on Vimeo.


"'Dark Signals' is a song from my album I Hear Your Signals. This video is in HD and I captured the audio full fidelity right from my sound card in real-time and made note edits. It's one of my favorite songs off the album and is becoming a crowd favorite at live shows. A dark original electronica song with driving big beats, bit-crushed high-hats, a dash of ambient texture, and tasty distorted synth leads. Checkout the rippin' synth solo at the 1:42 mark performed live from a Tenori-On matrix controller sending notes to a virtual synth running in Ableton Live. The Moog Etherwave Theremin signal is being converted from analog back to digital and is driving virtual synths as well.

You can buy the album name your prices ($0 for Free) over at markmosher.bandcamp.com.

"Alone" by Mark Mosher played on AudioCubes (Rehearsal) from Mark Mosher on Vimeo.


"In this video I'm playing my original instrumental electronic music song "Alone" from my album REBOOT markmosher.bandcamp.com/​album/​... .

I'm about half way through arranging and programming the synthesizers and controllers so I can add this song to my live set. I'm making great progress so I thought I'd share a rehearsal video.

It's such an organic piece, I decided to play the entire song from Percussa AudioCubes using only spatial hand movement. Ableton Live is playing back the pulsing drone, but almost all other elements are being played live via the AudioCubes. The AudioCubes are in "sensor" mode so placing my hand in front of a cube face plays a note on a virtual synthesizer hosted out of Live - almost like a Laser harp.

I only use the Novation Launchpad to change which tracks are armed thereby allowing me to switch which synths I'm playing on-the-fly throughout the song.

At the 2:00 minute mark I start playing chords by using multiple faces simultaneously.

RAC DJ + TouchOSC + iPad


YouTube via andreanjos | October 06, 2010

"This is an early version of the TouchOSC template I'm working on. I'm not really mixing tracks at all, except for the Holy Ghost! loop at the beginning. I'm just running through the different effects that I've set up.

The song is an extended version of a remix that isn't out yet. It's probably pretty obvious which one.
