"MIDI Melodeon" - Demo #2 - iPad Wireless MIDI Button Accordion / Melodeon Control Surface
YouTube via tradlessons | November 14, 2010
"'MIDI Melodeon' is a WiFi-based wireless Button Accordion / Melodeon MIDI control surface for the iPad.
MIDI Melodeon doesn't produce any sound on it own, it is designed for controlling hardware or software VST-style MIDI synthesizers via a WiFi connection to a Windows or Mac OS X based computer.
The button layout is identical to the real instrument and, and the built-in note guide makes it easy to learn to play!
Touch the buttons with the fingers on your right hand to play. Buttons light up in green when touched.
Multiple buttons may be pressed at the same time to make chords.
This style of accordion plays different notes depending on whether you are pushing or pulling on the bellows.
Touch the anywhere in the bellows image at the top of the screen for PUSH notes, lift your finger for PULL notes.
The PUSH/PULL indicator shows the current bellows direction. Also, the sides of the bellows light up tracking the bellows motion
You may slide your fingers between the buttons.
Touch the MIDI connector icon to show the MIDI controls.
Using the controls, you may set the overall instrument MIDI volume, MIDI channel (1-8), key attack velocity, and transposition (+/- 12 semitones).
Select between B/C or D/G based layout. Other common tunings can be achieved by setting the transposition control.
For example, for C#/D tuning, select the B/C layout and set a +2 transposition. For G/C tuning, select the D/G layout and set a +5 transposition.
Touch the '?' icon to show the base layout note names for each button (without transposition).
Multiple iPads can run MIDI Melodeon on the same wireless network, each sending messages on its own MIDI channel to the hardware or software synthesizer.
All settings are saved when the app exits.
MIDI Melodeon requires two pieces of software to do its job. The first is the MIDI Melodeon app itself, running on your iPad.
The other is a small free open-source DSWiFiMIDI server application that you run on your PC or Mac before launching MIDI Melodeon.
The server application receives the MIDI messages from MIDI Melodeon via WiFi, and sends them along to either an external MIDI interface or a loopback MIDI driver to talk to software synthesizers running on the same computer.
Please read the instructions below for information on downloading and installing the open-source DSMIDIWiFi server application for your system.
For the most reliable performance with the lowest possible latency, I highly recommend that you connect the PC or Mac to the wireless access point that will be used by the iPad via a wired ethernet cable rather than use wireless for both the computer and the iPad. The computer and wireless gateway that the iPad is connected to must be on the same network.
To get the full benefit from MIDI Melodeon, you should be familiar with the use of MIDI control surfaces, hardware and/or software VST synthesizers."

RARE NIN "SHADOW" WALDORF XTK one of two in existence
via this auction
"Okay, up for sale is a an extremely rare "shadow" Waldorf XTK synthesizer. Not wanting a bright orange synth for their MTV music awards appearance, NIN contacted Waldorf and had 2 black XTKs made for them...this is one of those. Obviously, i doubt you'll ever see another one for sale so here is your chance. This XTK works perfectly, and looks fantastic. There is a small ding in the wood (from NIN) and can be seen in the picture (left side). If you're a NIN fan this is an ultimate item...as it was played by them. Or if you just want one of the best synths in the planet but hate orange, here you go!"

One of a kind Alesis Andromeda synthesizer
via this auction
"At first glance this may look like another Andromeda for sale, but a closer look you'll notice some differences. When the A6 was being developed a few different color schemes were "pitched" before going with the blue/silver production model. And we know they made a few but production wine red/silver Andromedas, but here is the only Grey/silver i have ever seen...it was not a production model...and it has white buttons and knob caps. What gives? Well a few years back an ex-alesis employee sold this prototype panel/button/knob set, i bought it and installed it on my production Andromeda. So there you have it, i dont think there was another complete set offered so i doubt you'll ever see another one of these again. The synthesizer is a beautiful instrument and is my favorite polyphonic synth ever. So why sell it? Well the modular bug hit me a few years back and frankly my keyboard synths have taken a back seat every since. I've held on to my favorites but it's time for them to go to a more deserving studio. Here is your chance to own an extremely rare andromeda!"Toppobrillo quantimator prototype
