flickr By Mr. Biggs "Elliot and I have been learning about electronics lately, since our visit to a workshop in NYC last summer. She's planning on doing something with this knowledge for her upcoming science fair at school, so she's been working to figure out how things go. "Crazy Labs" is the name she's given to our lab, which is also my music room.
"[the track] uses one of my favorite production techniques.
I have a Little Phatty with the CV Out Modification. Here I synced its arpeggiator to a master MIDI clock from a Yamaha MO8 (MO8 run through MF-101s on each stereo channel). I connected the Pitch Out CV from the Phatty to the Filter Cutoff In CV on a Voyager, dialed up a wet, resonant patch and had a lot of fun.
The rest is Alesis Micron through MF-101, Korg MicroX through MF-101 and Kurzweil K2000 through a MIDI Murf."
YouTube via bebinico | November 07, 2010 - Update: The video is pretty self explanatory, but I added the new English version below. No knobs, no problem. Direct control of your synths with the iPad. USB support with the Camera Connection kit is coming (see this related post). And of course direct iPad to synth via the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer. You can create your own layouts with this and it's only $2.99. This is pretty amazing when you think about it. The only other option is TouchOSC and OSCulator which runs $19 to $39 depending on how much you want to pay, and they require a computer to run between the iPad and your gear. Note there are obviously some differences between the two, so do your research, but we now have customizable controllers for our synths. Currently the two only support MIDI CC, but Sysex is coming. The iPad will bring new life to cryptic synths. This is going to open up a whole new world in rediscovering menu based synths. I can't wait to unlock the Yamaha FS1R for example.
""S1 MIDI Trigger is the latest version. iPad / iPhone for work as a MIDI controller.
iOS 4.2 support, Camera Connection Kit has become possible connection. (However ※, AppStore, so at the moment is waiting approval, please wait) " Listen"
"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie. The music has been made in one take with Plogue Bidule (sequencers, mixer, solo synth and various delay effects), two Moog FreqBox and a Moog CP-251. Enjoy ! http://www.myspace.com/fredericgercha..."

'For some of us, the idea of an electronic muse is scary; after all, music is an essentially human activity, while electronic equipment, especially the computer, is "mechanical" and "unnatural." Throughout history, however, music has been closely linked to technology. Except for the human voice, the instruments of music-making have always been "high tech" in their time...'"
