Pencil Fields - analog gestural interface controlling Bugbrand Modular
YouTube Uploaded by otoskope on May 9, 2011
"This is a live performance by Palle Dahlstedt on a custom built instrument, using a simple pencil drawing as a gestural interface for controlling complex analog synthesis (on a Bugbrand Modular). The instrument works by creating a voltage potential field in the graphite/pencil markings on the paper using custom movable electrodes made from coins. Then, various control voltages are extracted from other points on the paper, controlling various aspects of the synthesized sound.
A big thanks to Tom Bugs for very valuable electronics advice!
The sound is recorded directly from the BugBrand Modular (with a slight reverb), and from contact mics on the pencil sharpener. There is no normal microphone, which explains the slightly awkward silence in the beginning, while I'm drawing.
Recorded at the second performance (of two), May 6th, 2011, Gothenburg, Sweden. Concert arranged by Levande Musik (www.levandemusik.org)
This work is part of the research project Creative Performance at University of Gothenburg, funded by the Swedish Research Council."

"I recently went through the documentation for the Korg iMS20 iPad app to find out how to control it with the Code. While Korg's MIDI implementation is not totally comprehensive, it's still pretty useful. I created a map you can use for the Code which you can download here:
lividinstruments.com/dl/Code%2BKorg-iMS20_layout.zip
to control the main Synth screen. The zip also includes a graphic that most of the possible controls if you want to try controlling other parts of the app with your code (or other MIDI controller).
This video scratches the surface of possibility with this type of combination, and I look forward to exploiting this even more!"

"I took the Buchla outside to test some drones I've been thinking about for a while. I use all four sound sources for this one and cross modulate the channels."

"Starr Labs Ztar MIDI breath controller lets you control more than just volume or pitch bends. In this demo we hear Jacques control the harmonic ratios within Native Instrument's Prism synth. Assign and program the Ztar breath controller to interact with any aspect of your software synth parameters!"
