Tempest Drum Computer Demo & Unboxing Video
YouTube Uploaded by MusicGearNuts on Nov 17, 2011
via The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"www.musicgearnuts.com brings you a glimpse of the new DSI Tempest drum machine's basic playback functionality.
A simple one bar pattern is looped for 4 minutes and messed around with in the 16 beats (pattern play) mode. This mode allows you to select between 16 different drum beats, apply effects and change settings to all drum sounds simultaneously.
The beat has been purposely stripped down so that you can see exactly what is happening and hear how the effects alter this drum machine's basic tonal qualities using the filters and amp envelope generator.
But really, the aim was just to program the Home Computer rhythm and have a play.
Enjoy :)"

ROLAND JUNO-60 Analog Synthesizer 1982 | HQ DEMO
YouTube Uploaded by AnalogAudio1 on Nov 17, 2011
Update: video re-uploaded due to technical problems.
"The Roland Juno-60 is a classic six voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with 56 patch memory for your sounds. Although the sound architecture is rather basic, it has an excellent analogue sound. The Juno-60 can produce great basses / sequences with its fast envelopes. It can also produce warm smooth pads with its excellent filters.
The Juno-60 was used by many professionals like Eurythmics, Howard Jones, the Madonna producers, Paul Van Dyk and many more... it has the DCB interface - the predecessor of MIDI. With a DCB to MIDI interface it is very easy to integrate the instrument in a midi setup.
To my ears the JUNO-60 sounds far better than the very similar JUNO-106 (I had both). The Juno-60 has snappier envelopes and a fater chorus. The difference is clearly notable. IMO the Juno-60 ist the best sounding Juno. But all Junos can sound great... Please note, I am talking about the original Juno series from the eighties.
I played the JUNO-60 without any additional FX or EQ (except the intro music - this is a multi track recording). Excuse the slight distortion in the first minute.
THE SOUND PROGRAMS IN THIS MOVIE:
Do you have a Juno-60 and want to play with the sounds heard in the video? You can buy the "ANALOGAUDIO1 PATCH BANK" (56 sounds) for 12,99 Euros.
After payment through PayPal you will get a MP3 with sound data for the tape interface of your Juno-60 via email.
The details about the functionality of the tape interface are described in the manual of the Juno-60, which you can download for free.
The patchbank will NOT work with the Juno-106, because this one has a different data format.
If you want to buy the "ANALOGAUDIO1 PATCHBANK", please drop me a mail [on YouTube]."

Keith McMillan QuNeo Multi-Touch Open Source Controller
On Kickstarter
"QuNeo is a different species of pad controller for electronic musicians, DJs, VJs and DIY hackers. While it covers all of the functionality of other pad controllers, QuNeo adds the power of touch recognition in other dimensions.
Tactile Pads, Sliders, Rotary Sensors and Switches
Each of the 27 pads, sliders and rotary sensors are pressure, velocity, and location sensitive. Even the 17 switches respond to how hard you press.
LED Light Feedback
A remarkable lumination scheme combines variably diffusive elastomers with 251 multi-color LEDs providing visual feedback that is immediately responsive and delightfully informative. Man and machine are coupled through light, feel and sound.
Trigger Pads
16 square pads provide 127 levels of Velocity response. And X-Y location. And continuous pressure. For each pad. Times sixteen.
Rotary Surfaces
2 rotary surfaces allow you to scrub, trigger, stretch, pinch and play phrases and sound files, manipulate continuous controllers and more . Each rotary sensor measures angle, pressure and distance from the center.
Multi-touch Sliders
9 touch sensitive sliders can be mapped to fader and effects controls. LEDs within each slider act as VU meters or remind you where you were. Multi-touch lets you select a length between two fingers to set stereo locations or filter resonances. Tapping a slider can mute or toggle any track or function.
Switches
The switches are located in smart groupings to select samples, fader banks, and transport controls. Each of the switches can scan up and down through files at speeds variable with your touch. Great for quickly locating that perfect fill or telling your looper you really meant it.
The Size of an iPad.
QuNeo is the size of an iPad and can fit in iPad accessories such as mic clips, stands and more.
Class Compliant and Open Source Development Kit
QuNeo works with USB, MIDI or OSC and will communicate with your favorite music software environments right out of the box. More advanced users and programmers can use the development kit and API to create their own code to respond to QuNeo's sensor data. Hack away to control your world in ways never before possible!
We are asking for your support on KickStarter to put QuNeo into production.

97 Too much modulation on 222e
YouTube Uploaded by 7thDanSound on Nov 15, 2011
"I try to learn how best to use the 222e and this time I do some modulations. I think I may have gone a bit too far though as it was kind of hard to control the results.
