IDOW & MATRIXSYNTH Modular Pic of the Week - Week 4 Contest Winner!

"Our fourth winner of the Modular Pic of the Week contest goes to Mesak for his 'Se-quenching.'



Mesak is a musician and producer coming originally from Turku, Finland. Releases are mostly electro, techno & skweee, but various projects include also rather experimental electronic music. At the moment he´s working on music and running the label Harmönia in Berlin Germany.

Check out Mesak's music on SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/mesak

We'd like to give a big thanks and congratulations to Mesak for his submission! This is the 4th week of a 30-week contest, and we are looking forward to many more modular photo submissions, so please keep 'em coming! For details on how to submit and what you can win, see this post.

For more info on the upcoming 'I Dream of Wires' documentary, be sure to see the trailer and IndieGoGo fund raising campaign here.

See the IDOW label for all posts pertaining to the film including the weekly contest winners."

Buchla - Patch 3, 4 & 5

"First experiments with a couple of 200e modules: 281e, 250, 266e..."

Buchla - Patch 4

"Further experiment with the Model 281e.
The Buchla - Patch 3 video was made after this one, based on quite the same patch."

Buchla - Patch 5

"Simple non-linear transformations with the 256e Control Voltage Processor and dynamic variation of the waveform amplitude on the 259e via warp control voltage. Other modules involved: 250, 281e, 266e, 292e, 210e, 206e.

It is really annoying to loose all the interesting sound properties of a patch which is mostly based on low droning freqs, deep basses and high dynamics. It is of course due to high video compression, but also to the fact that I am recording directly to the camera and its built-in mic of poor quality. Should envisage to record separately to soundcloud (effort to expend)."

Symbolic Sound Releases Kyma X.82

Update: some pics & video added

"KYMA X.82: A SYNTHESIS ENGINE FOR ALTERNATIVE CONTROLLERS & INTERACTIVE SOUND DESIGN
New software features twenty-one new keyboard-controllable morphing synthesis algorithms, support for 14-bit MIDI controllers, polyphonic aftertouch, & publication of the Kyma OSC protocol for third-party developers

Champaign, Illinois - November 21, 2011 - The culmination of two years of research and development, Kyma X.82, a new software update for the Kyma X/Pacarana sound synthesis engine, is specifically designed to take advantage of the expressive capabilities and extended control offered by today's new crop of alternative controllers and cutting edge musical interface designs.

The recent explosion of interest in new musical interfaces and alternative controllers for sound design and music has created a need for sound synthesis and processing engines that can take full advantage of the increased bandwidths, higher resolution, lower latencies, continuous pitch and velocity values, and subtle expressive capabilities of these new controllers. Symbolic Sound has a long history of support for alternative and extended controllers in Kyma X, and Symbolic Sound's newest release, Kyma X.82, introduces several additional features to support these innovative musical interfaces and alternative controllers.

Features in Kyma X.82 include over 20 new morphing sound synthesis algorithms, support for 14-bit MIDI controllers, and the publication of Kyma's OSC protocol to support and inspire future developments of new instruments and controllers that can exploit Kyma's responsive, high-resolution sound synthesis and processing algorithms in a seamless, plug-and-play manner.

Whether you are a sound designer performing expressive creature voices to picture, an electronic musician performing live on stage with alternative controllers, or a composer using physical controllers to create dense multi-layered textures of sound in the studio, you will be able to take advantage of Kyma X.82's ease of parameter-mapping, low latency, high-resolution parameters, and legendary sound quality. Additional features of the new release include enhanced multichannel panning and effects, higher quality spectral analysis, and a 40% speedup in the software executing on the host computer.
