Acoustic, meet digital.

"Thanks for watching!

This is a video that I made today down the studio showing what you can achieve by running a piano through Ableton and a few effects in realtime. What you can't see (or hear unfortunately!) is the MC909 which is sitting on the chair in front of the camera for dropping beats. I was enjoying just playing with the piano so much that I never got around to pressing play on it.. :]

Hope you like the video - any questions or comments then just let me know! For the record, this video isn't intended to show off my piano skills (or lack of) so try to be gentle with comments about my dodgy playing. All the music is just improvised on the spot.

Thanks,

Simon"

TouchControl - Multitouch Monome Emulator and Midi Controller

YouTube Uploaded by GrmcomMultitouch on Jun 7, 2011

"TouchControl Software Demonstration.

TouchControl is a program that allows you to turn your Multi Touch display into a controller for audio or video software. What seperates TouchControl from other control applications is the inclusion of a Monome 40h emulator.

In this video I am using TouchControl with Ableton Live 8.
The midi faders have been assigned to track levels, scene triggers, and effects. The monome section is using osc messages to communicate with a max for live sequencer patch, which in turn is outputting midi notes to a drum rack.

I wrote the software using python and the PyMT framework.

Big thanks to the PyMT developers and Nuigroup Community"

Mobile Template for MATRIXSYNTH, MATRIXSYNTH-B, and MATRIXSYNTH-C

I enabled blogger's mobile template for the site. If you view the site on your mobile device, it will come up by default. Note it is standard black font on white background which should be easier to read on smaller devices, but at the bottom of the page there is a link to go to the web format if you prefer instead. Feel free to comment on whether you like the new interface or not. I can disable it at any time. I'll enable it for MATRIXSYNTH-B and MATRIXSYNTH-C as well.

KORG KR-55 analog drum machine w DINSYNC and sep. outs

via this auction
"The KR-55 has very punchy analog sounds that rival the Tr-808. The presets are a combination of all the usual beatbox patterns (samba!), with more modern ones (disco!) This specific unit has been modified by my tech Ramcur to receive a Roland-style din-sync signal. You can sync it to classic gear or to midi with a MIDI to DINSYNC converter (not included). Ramcur also added seperate outputs for the different instruments.

These two modifications make it possible to use the KR in professional setup. It's a very rare mod so you're not likely to ever come across a KR-55 like this again. The machine also received basic servicing at the same time."
