Amos + MIDI Mobilizer

YouTube via anythinghonest | January 05, 2011 |

"Amos sends MIDI notes from the iPad to the Korg Electribe via the Line6 MIDI Mobilizer."

"Amos is a reactive MIDI iPad instrument. It sends MIDI notes through a USB MIDI interface or over a wireless network to trigger sounds from software synths, MIDI-capable hardware or desktop DAWs like GarageBand, ProTools and Live.

In Amos's physics-simulated room, collisions between objects trigger MIDI notes. Up to three duration discs (half note, quarter note, eighth note) can be grabbed and thrown around the room. There are three 6-octave keyboards that can be configured via the Settings menu. When a disc strikes a keyboard key, it takes on that key‘s note value and emits that value for each collision until a new key is struck. Tilting the device controls the gravity in the room.

USB MIDI Requirements:
• iPad
• Apple iPad USB Camera Connection Kit
• Class-compliant USB MIDI interface

WiFi MIDI Requirements:
• A Mac, Linux, or Windows computer on the same WiFi network as your iPad
• A copy of the free DSMI Server running on your Mac, Linux, or Windows computer
• Some kind of MIDI capable desktop app (Garage Band, Pro Tools, Logic, Live, Sonar, etc.)

See http://anythinghonest.com/amos for further setup instructions."

RSF Modular 11 with Polyclavier 8 voice keyboard

via this auction

"Super rare RSF Modular 11 with Polyclavier.

These are extremely rare modules built by Ruben and Serge Fernandez from France,Toulouse.

These modules have been built in 1977 and 1978.Not more than 300 modules in total have been built for a total of 20 systems. So RSF is even rare than old Buchla.

Some systems have been in private collections and been put into larger cases.So less than 20 systems are available.

These 2 systems are working on 220v,so a voltage converter will be needed to use it in the USA and Japan.

About 75% of the modules are working.They do need to be serviced, some pots cleaned, calibration, repairs, tuning,...

Whats in the systems: 5x VCO, 4x VCA, 2x ENV, 2x VCF, 2x Mixer,2x Power,1x ENV FOL,1x S&H/Noise.

The keyboard is a 8 voice keyboard with 8 seperate cv/gates, arpeggiator,sequencer wich can have sequences uploaded thru the cassette player/recorder from RSF.

There is also a cassette player/recorder originaly built by RSF(stamp underneath)wich works at 220v.

It can be connected to the keyboard as there is a flat cable inside the keyboard that fits on the cassette player/recorder.

I also have paperwork and schematics to have certain repairs/services done to the modules."

ELKA SYNTHEX Sample Set

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"Elka Synthex multisampled professionally, on 3 DVD, 17184 WAV files for a total of 12,8Gb covering 120 factory, user memory and my own presets, a great chance to own the sounds of this fantastic synthesizer.
The samples are mapped on 5 octaves, just like you're playing the real thing (the Elka Synthex has 5 octaves). Not only I have sampled note on/off, but also I have sampled up to 10 seconds of the presets with interesting sustain, modulation, chorus or filter effects, for allowing playing strings, pads, special effects or let you experimenting deeper with your own sampler. So you have 1, 2, 4, 8 etc bars available.
From the original samples I have used SAMPLIT to convert to the different formats. Wav samples are stereo 16bit 44KHz, each note has been sampled individually."

See this post for a video. Note it is now 3 DVDs up from 2.
