"Having fun with scrambled speech circuits from 3 x Talking Computers & An AMSTRAD CKX100. Boltbays and Crocodille Leads connect the digital circuitry together and create an orgy of Glitch Speech and digital noise."

45 Oberheim SEM Sounds

YouTube via 7thDanSound | February 07, 2011 |

"I really like my Oberheim SEM. This is my second one, still can't figure out why I sold the first one. It sounds extremely good and I just wish I had another to put in that empty slot to the right of mine. Now that the re-issue is out I just might! Also, below there is space for some patch panels to access all the goodies inside the SEM via it's patch points. I just realized there's room for some Euro modules too.

This video shows some of the capabilities of this little monster."

"'no animals were abused in the making of this video.'
And yes, the 'Camptown Racers ' bit was... intentional.

CV source: Noisering CV into uScale.
uScale output mult'ed to E340 & AntiOsc V/Oct input.

Echo: Eventide Timefactor 'band delay' .

Thanks for watching."

noteplex demo

YouTube via modeofx | February 07, 2011 |

"noteplex offers a new and unique way to create and experience music. In noteplex, you see the music happen before your eyes.

noteplex presents composers with a hexagonal board of cells on which can be placed nodes. A noteplex song begins when the first node fires a pulse. These pulses hit other nodes, which play their sounds and fire more pulses. Those new pulses hit other nodes, and so on. You're hearing a noteplex song!"

Warm Blooded Lizard & JJ OS for the Akai MPC-1000

Warm Blooded Lizard by Nym
"'Warm Blooded Lizard' is an album inspired by the music and emotions of the spaghetti western film genre, contrasted with the presence and attitude of instrumental hip hop.
Credits: released 01 February 2011. Thanks to Kathleen Drake, Emancipator, Erin Johnston, Sam Frank, Ennio Morricone, Sergio Leone, Justin Frankel, and Recollective.
Release date: Feb 1, 2011"

Nym sent the above in with the following: "This album was composed on the MPC1000 with "JJos," a third-party os which I have been beta testing since mid-2006. I used very minimal gear, including some home-made Arduino-based MIDI controllers."

It's been a while since I posted on JJ OS (here and here). I took a look at the JJ OS website and there have been a number of updates since then. MPC1000 JJ OS2XL 2.09 literally went up today. If you have an MPC-1000, check it out. You can find a list of user videos here.

Introducing Fairlight CMI Legacy II+ (reason refill)

YouTube via bitleyTM | February 07, 2011 |

"Introducing Fairlight CMI Legacy MKII+. Fairlight CMI Legacy MKII+ marks the introduction of a new release in the series of Fairlight refills, having been continously developed and updated for about a year and a half. Comparing the size of this new version with the original, it's pretty evident that lots has happened during this time. Six times larger than the original 400 Mb Fairlight CMI Legacy, introduced in April 2010, the new refill also comes with some stunning new concepts.

Technically speaking what we now have here is a Reason 4 and 5 compatible refill, loaded with no less than 2 304 instrument patches; 1 014 NNXT patches, 622 Combinator patches, over 190 ReDrum drum kits and much, much more.

Main news. All instruments are now divided into virtual machines. This is highly inspired by Elektron's Machinedrum & Monomachine grooveboxes. The Combinator graphics are brand new and unique for each machine / instrument. These have been designed with creative input and assistance from Kangebo Design in Stockholm, Sweden. All of the patches in the refill are named according to these instrument types, to make it easier to find the right sound when producing music.

These are some of the new instruments / machines in the refill; 4 UPETEUR. Analog Compuphonic Synth. AIRBASS. The total module for bass sounds. CHROME. Analog and chord synth module. DIG IT ALL. Digital synths. FAIRVOX. Fairlight Voices. ILLTURN 80R. Alternating patches. MEAN MACHINE. Edge and grit. ORLANDO. Analog JX Synths. P5. Analog synthesizer. THE LEGACY. CMI taken to new levels. THE ORCH. Orchestral with a twist. TWEEDLE. Keyboard sounds. UNDERCOVER. Drums, percussion and FX. XYLO 4N. Mallets. Last but not least; ZIGNATURE PATCHEZ.
Signature patches provided by DrLoop, Abstract Assasinator and EditEd4TV.

Background. Fairlight CMI was introduced in 1979 and it was the first ever keyboard instrument with digital sampling, ie recording of sounds and storing those in a computer-like fashion. The Fairlight systems of those days cost about 545 000 SEK; roughly 2 MSEK by today's value (about $350,000). The extremely high price combined with the fact that only highly successfull acts got to use it (like Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Keith Emerson, Howard Jones and many others) helped form a myth around the instrument. When I got the chance to use some original recordings directly from a Fairlight IIx I was instantly turned on by the idea of building a refill, since these sounds still are highly looked after. I contacted Fairlight in Australia and got a thumbs up about the project, and this has helped me build and maintain what today is the world's largest collection of Fairlight recordings. This is all available for Reason!

File size: 1,7 Gb (packed) or 2,49 Gb before packed with ReFill Packer.
