Christmax Audievent Tree from Desmond Dodecahedron on Vimeo.

"To celebrate the festive season and the fact that we have had lots of snow in London - I decided to create this Christmas Carol note filtering tree. Each pitch class of a Carol i.e. all the Ds or all the Fs are allocated to a Lego door. When the door is opened, a midi file is played and the notes are sent to a vst synth in a Max Patch. The doors have small magnets which trigger a reed switch. I built a couple of resistor ladder multiplexers so that I could use nine doors with just 3 analogue ins of a Make Controller. This device could be used as a sophisticated "Name that Tune" device - fun for all the family - if that's what your family considers to be fun - unlike my own. Happy Festmax - Des"

"Repetetive electro. Just something knocked up on the fly to demo the filter.

Used an Elektron Monomachine, Dave Smith Mopho and an Akai MPC500 and stuck them all through the filter into Propellerhead record in multiple takes.

Based on the steiner synthacon filter. Altered to run on a single rail 9v power supply.

Some distortion was added to a couple of layers in record and some compression was added here and there. Other than some key mapped adsr envelope on the second track that comes in on the monomachine all of the filtering in this is done by the K-filter.

It's sound isn't a million miles away from the filters found in the Korg MS-20..."
