Flight of Resurrection

acidlab bassline and Quasimidi Sirius.
"Just testing my Presonus Firepod after I had it repaired for audio pops/clicks and digital loss.

Fired up an old track from the Sirius and synced the Bassline 2 through to my El Capistan...

Seems to be working better for realtime recording/playback now...the digital hiss at the beginning was from Sirius level being a tad too high.

This video's audio was fed from the Presonus headphone out (Via ASIO playback) into my Kodak zi8 while recording two stereo tracks into Cubase 5."

Bob Moog Foundation Music Series "Voices" Featuring Toubab Krewe

YouTube via ShoreFireMedia | October 26, 2010
See the exclusive on CoS (Consequence of Sound)

"The piece celebrates Bob Moog's legacy across many genres of music, just in time for its annual moogfest, and features footage from the recording of Toubab Krewe's new studio album 'TK2,' out now on Nat Geo Music.

Michelle Moog-Koussa, executive director of the Moog Foundation, which lent Toubab Krewe Moog equipment to use on 'TK2,' said of the band: "Toubab Krewe are an excellent example of musicians with an openness, and enthusiasm for exploring the boundaries of what they're doing."

"All of us feel inspired by [Bob Moog's] work...for us it's sound, it's our livelihood, it's everything. For us, his work has been so much about discovery," notes Drew Heller, Toubab Krewe's guitarist."

Apeldoorn by night

YouTube via attorks | October 29, 2010

"Today my friend Anne and I returned from a short holiday in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. I had a fantastic time with her but that is not to difficult because she is a very sweet, lovely and beautiful woman. This afternoon I had some time to improvise with the Modulars and make some music. And behold the result.

The first sequence is an 8-step sequence from the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the self-built Modular. After that a 7-step sequence from the MAQ16/3 driving the Ian Fritz Teezer Through Zero VCO and MiniWave is activated. I transpose the sequences manual with a MIDI keyboard underneath the Modulars but you can't see that in this video. The Mellotron string/choir sound comes from the Roland XP-80. After that the 6-step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer is introduced; at first single notes and later on the whole sequence driving the Synthesizers.com Modular doing the bass voice. Solo's and chords are played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and Waldorf Q Keyboard. I apologies for the occasional wrong note but hey, it's live and totally improvised. Also at the end the sustain pedal for the Roland XP-80 gave some problems resulting in some hanging notes.

The whole piece is some 33 minutes long and I will upload the video and music to my website soon."

The USB-Octomod is a USB device which allows generation of computer-controlled analog synthesizer control voltages in the range of approximately +/- 5V. Using a small open-source and cross-platform host application, the user is able to control the 8 output channels of the Octomod through a simple OSC interface. The OSC interface allows composers, musicians, etc. to control the Octomod from their software environment of choice.
