Network MIDI control with Pianist Pro

YouTube via MooCowMusic | November 11, 2010
"Coming in V1.8, Pianist Pro offers wireless MIDI control using the OSX "Network MIDI" driver. Simply enable Network MIDI within Pianist Pro, connect to it using the standard "Audio and MIDI Setup" utility on the Mac, and you will be provided with a new virtual MIDI port which can be access from any MIDI software. No installation. No wires. No problem!

For more information on Pianist Pro, check out our website at: http://moocowmusic.com"

Update: via MooCowMusic: "I thought you might be interested to see a video demonstration showing the direct and wireless connection of the iPad with the OSX Network MIDI drivers. Wireless MIDI control from the iPad has been possible for some time via OSC or DSMI, but both methods require some additional server setup, adding an extra layer of complexity. Now for the first time you can connect the iPad directly to your Mac via the built-in Network MIDI drivers. Latency is fantastic and the OSX Network MIDI driver offers a variety of configuration possibilities. Network MIDI functionality is included in the V1.8 update to Pianist Pro which will be available soon."

Incredible

YouTube via attorks | November 11, 2010

"Yesterday evening I was dialing in some sequences and it sounded very nice. But after recording a video it appeared that the sound recording was not alright, very distorted. So this evening I made a new video after first testing the sound recording. Now it is OK and the session is way better that yesterday evening so I guess this was meant to be. The song starts with an 8-step sequence on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO/Blacet MiniWave voice and a bass tone from the Synthesizers.com which is driven by the Q960. The Q963 is used to turn on and off individual stages for the bass tones. After that arpeggiated tones from the Waldorf Q Keyboard are introduced. Then the volume of the 8-step sequence from the MAQ16/3 for the self-built Modular is turned up. Strings are played on the Roland XP-80 and the solo on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

The title refers to my friend Anne; she is a truly incredible woman.

The whole video is just over 20 minutes long and will be available soon from my website."

"This composition is from a project I'm currently working on that consists of ambient electronica that's more or less in the vein of Warp's early Artificial Intelligence series. The string/ choral pad type sound was produced with a Roland HS-60 (which is just a Juno-106 with built in speakers) with liberal amounts of one of my homemade spring reverbs mixed in. The running melody that begins around the 20 second mark was produced with a Roland JX-10 with some Yamaha R1000 reverb mixed in with one the voices. The bass line was made with a Mono/Poly using a patch in unison mode with only two oscillators, each outputting a triangle wave (the triangle waves output by the Mono/Poly's oscillators are really well suited to deep sub-bass sounds, and the snappy envelopes allow you to make a tight and surprisingly modern bass sound). The percussion in the left channel was produced with an MFB-522 and the right side is from the trusty old TR-606. The kick drum in the center is also from the 522. The percussion sounds are all treated with varying amounts of spring reverb. Everything was sequenced with an Atari 1040STe running Notator (essentially proto-Logic), and was recorded live, mixed, and mastered on a Korg D3200." See Fantadrom for more.

"The sub-modules in the early 2600 was double dipped in epoxy as a friendly reminder from ARP to mind your own fucking business, but luckily they later changed their attitude to a more "sharing-is-caring" kind of vibe, and dropped the epoxy altogether. In this super early Tonus-logo 2600 version I was surprised to find a module that wasn't covered in epoxy, but soldered in a metal casing. Looks"

"hello my name is Solvent. here i am making beats with my new MFB Urzwerg analog sequencer.

ch1+2 (chained) Urzwerg CV-Gate-Out to 101 CV-Gate-In (though no VCO, so CV's only affecting sound as per VCF-kbrd-follow)

ch3 Urzwerg CV-out to 101 VCF-CV-In (101 modification)

ch4 Urzwerg CV-out to EHX Exp-Pedal-in (controls delay time)

why does the Memory Boy laugh at me so?"
