Hinton Customised 30 x 30 MIDI Routing Matrix and Mergers

via Hinton Instruments

"Hinton Instruments have supplied Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis with a customised version of MIDIX30 Routing Matrix with additional 4:1 and three 2:1 MIDIY Mergers. The unit will route all MIDI control for three theatres from a common machine room.

The MIDIX was chosen for its reliability, serviceability and because it is a hardware router with minimum delays and distortion. The MIDIX30 is equivalent to sixteen of the 8×8 software routers it replaced and which had proven to be too unreliable.

MIDIX is fully RS232 controlled and has many advanced features including MIDI Recall, Illegal routing definitions, Events, Messages and diagnostic monitoring. The mergers are also RS232 controlled and have comprehensive filtering of all MIDI Statuses and large buffers.

All MIDI I/O is on DB25 connectors with 5 ports per connector. Heavy duty tie bars support multicore cable looms."

Animation modulating Audio via MIDI CC

Animation modulating Audio via MIDI CC from AntonAudio on Vimeo.

"Another experiment using Quartz Composer. I’m using some Low Frequency Oscillators in Quartz Composer to animate layers of my logo graphic. These LFO’s are also sending MIDI CC messages which are being received by Kore’s preset morphing parameter:

-There is an LFO animating the rotation of the logo, this is also modulating the Y axis of the Kore morph parameter grid.
-There are also some LFO’s animating the several radius diameters of the logo, these are modulating the X axis of the Kore morph parameter grid.

I have also assigned a knob on my MIDI controller keyboard to the frequency of the LFO in Quartz Composer which is modulating the radius movement ( which in turn is modulating the X parameter in Kore:) Obviously I could just modulate Kore with MIDI (or the dedicated Kore controller which I also own;) but the exercise here was to have the animation movement modulate some audio. The audio loaded in Kore is from the Reaktor Animated Circuits soundpack."

MiniSynth PRO: Let There Be Midi

YouTube via YonacSoftware | November 15, 2010

"MiniSynth PRO wedded with MIDI. All sounds in this video have been recorded using USB MIDI support in MiniSynth PRO, as well as some sequencing help from its sister app, MiniDrum PRO. Note that this feature will be available in version 1.4 for users of iOS 4.2 or beyond. For parties interested, the keyboard in use is an M-Audio Oxygen 49, hooked up to the iPad via the iPad Camera Connection Kit."

E560 Phase Shifter - Pink Noise Tests

YouTube via JohnLRice | November 17, 2010

"This is a collection of short tests of the phase shifting capabilities of the new Synth Tech E560 Deflector Shield Eurorack synth module. Simple pink noise is used as a sound source for this round.

Look for several more tests/demos I'll be doing of this exciting new module."
