iProphetVS - iControlMIDI on iTunes
"Leveraging 2 years of experience in designing GUI for control surface and 25+ years of experience in designing synthesizers sounds, we are bringing the best of those experiences to the iPad with iControlMIDI for Sequential Circuits, Inc. Prophet VS, namely iProphetVS.

On MacOS X, iProphetVS can only be used with a DAW, not in a stand-alone mode.

iControlMIDI is a UI Friendly and Workflow Efficient Solution that let you control your MIDI machines and software, simply from your iPad.

In 3-clicks on your Mac or couple of clicks on your PC, you are up and running...
iControlMIDI uses your:

• [MAC] MacOS / Utilities / AudioMIDISetup / Network (MIDI Network Sessions)
• [PC] rtpMIDI and Apple Bonjour

iControlMIDI let you control all MIDI controllable parameters.
Parameter Name and Value displayed on iControlMIDI UI are the same as the ones displayed on your synth if you were to program it from its control panel!

iControlMIDI offers 3-Controls per Parameter:
• + button: precise +1 parameter value adjustment
• - button: precise -1 parameter value adjustment
• Slider: full range parameter value adjustment

iControlMIDI is a Workflow Efficient Solution as it offers UI Consistent Synth Functions, for example, the VCF functions are grouped on the same iControlMIDI Page.

iControlMIDI integrates with your DAW. Real-time parameters adjustments triggered on iControlMIDI can be recorded and playback on your DAW.

Elektron Octatrack Microtiming

YouTube Uploaded by Catabolicdj on Mar 19, 2011

"This is a real quick introduction to using microtiming on the Octatrack and an application of it. Sometimes a loop may be largely in mono and you might want to make the stereo width seem broader. Here we have a high-hat slice on two tracks. On the first track it is panned all the way to the left and on the second track it is panned all the way to the right. You can then move the second hat around with microtiming to get a broader width."

"I don't know her name. But i have seen her many times these last few days on the cover of the magazines. This young woman is now personifying the devastated North of Japan. This is a musical letter to her, to her and to all the japanese people affected by the recent disaster."

"Each button does controls sixteen different parameters. Each knob adjusts sixteen different parameters. The Evolver is a compact synth with incredible depth.

Three months later, I'm still in awe of the Evolver and constantly inspired by it. If I could have only one hardware synth, it might have to be an Evolver. Not because the Evolver can do everything, but because it can do many unusual things. It makes you pause and think, but it also inspires."

"Two Yamaha desktop synths from two different eras. The TG-33 is a hybrid that combines vector control with 12-bit samples and FM synthesis. The control on the left is a free-floating joystick that should be able to transmit some kind of MIDI. The DX200 is a somewhat flawed groovebox (the first note doesn't play when you change patterns) with limited front-panel control despite all the knobs. Lurking inside the DX200 is PLG-150DX 6-operator FM synthesis board. It should be possible to fully program it via MIDI. I'm looking forward to building some crazy patches in PureData for these two machines."
