Forbin Accenta Electronica & RADIOPHONIC EXPLORATIONS

YouTube Uploaded by JeffreyPlaide on Jun 4, 2011

"Forbin Accenta Electronica is an entirely electronically-produced experimental composition using the KX-Synth X16software synthesizer. The KX-Synth X16 is a successful and extremely flexible software re-creation of the famous EMS VCS3 Putney or various Synthi models, using a virtual pin matrix to inter-connect the various oscillators, filters and modulation effects together. For this work, twin KX-Synth X16 synthesizers were connected in parallel within the VST host. Both synthesizers responded to playing, making the sounds truely bi-timbral, with both outputs able to be recorded by the host software for later integration into a multi-track environment. Various presets were used and modified to create etheral tones. Most of the patches employ ring modulation , or were configured by the virtual pin matrix to add ring modulation and extra feedback delay to create metallic and etheral melody lines. Those who every wanted to play an EMS VCS3 or Synthi synthesizer can have a feel for what it is like playing a KX-Synth X16 VST synthesizer on their own computer. The experience is extremely satisfying and open for much exploration and experimentation. The first mix comprised a reverberant tonal line with two tracks of a lone reverberant synthesizer line with heavy short feedback delay. These tracks were mixed down to one stereo track and slowed down significantly to create a more dreamy combination. Added to this was a metallic vibration tone with very short delay and heavy feedback. This was faded in and out as appropriate to the first mix. At the end are two time-shifted tracks of a sample of the ending, looped, then progressively slowed down until a very low frequency combination is heard receding into the distance. This then concluded the composition. The final mix was twice-compressed to level out the dynamics, then this version was used for the video. The visuals comprise vintage digital and analogue computers from the last 50 years - including UNIVAC, ORACLE and other systems, including SketchPad by Ivan Sutherland and various radar systems such as SAGE. These images were colourised with painting software, then keyed over modulating derivatives of a striped pattern, or motion-tracked versions of other images. The music reminded one of the feel of the music score in the film The Forbin Project; so the title of the work pays homage to this science fiction classic. The vintage computer images help to connect the music to previous generations when the technological landscape of computer science was of a different order."

Pittsburgh Analog Delay Module - First Run!

"We just received the very first shipment of Pittsburgh Modular Analog Delay modules. This module is awesome!

We're running a simple sequence using the Analogue Systems rs200 Sequencer, Livewire AFG, Division 6 Filtaire, Analogue Systems rs60 Envelope Generator, A.S. rs85 LFO, and the Malekko VCA. We used the LFO's triangle output to modulate the delay time, then the feedback amount. This is a really well designed and beautiful sounding delay module and we are happy that it's available now. :-)"

Gameduino Polyphonic organ test1

YouTube Uploaded by neutron7 on Jun 10, 2011

"This is an organ with 8 voices and 8 partials per voice.(each partial is like an organ stop)

Using a gameduino, Arduino uno and neutron shield modulator (only for MIDI input in this case)

just a very early test showing that it is actually polyphonic.

there are no voice controls yet. it has to be changed in the sketch."

Quick Beat With The OP-1

YouTube via Uploaded by MrYellowTangerine on Jun 10, 2011

"YΞll❍W T∆ΠgΞriΠΞ doing a beat - if you like the intro / outro check out www.soundcloud.com/yellow-tangerine"

"I just did this beatmaking video of the op-1 by teenage engineering today. I thought it showed off another side of the op-1 that has not been presented by any other video on the net so far. Yes it is unquantized and hiphop influenzend, BUT other than sampled (stock samples!) drums everthing else is pure op-1 synths."

New Firmware version for Haken Audio Continuum

via Haken Audio: "We are proud to announce that Version 4.20 firmware is now available for download for Continuum Fingerboards with built-in sounds.

Version 4.20 adds two new internal sounds, Four Point FM and Rosin Oscillator, and a new audio processor, Tuned Reverb. The firmware also includes optimizations to sensor scanning, improving performance with Midi and Internal Sounds.
The Continuum Editor has a new look, and supports archiving and retrieving Continuum configuration data to and from disk files.

A series of demonstration movies are accessible through the Continuum Editor's Internal Sound Demo. These movies show playing technique using internal sounds of the Continuum Fingerboard. Configuration parameters on your continuum will be set to match the movie, allowing you to play the same sound that is used in the demonstration performance.

Version 4.20 integrates with the high-quality Kenton Mini Controller. The Kenton Mini Controller may be used in conjunction with the Editor, or in a computerless standalone mode in conjunction with the Kenton USB Midi Host.

For more information, see the press release available from the Haken Audio splash page [PDF].

Two demo movies feature new internal sounds:

Please note the new release is several hundred megabytes, and will take some time to download.

All these developments are the latest results of our ongoing dedication and commitment to the Continuum Fingerboard. There will be more exciting things in the near future, as we always have more ideas than time!"
