Review: Beat Shuffler

YouTube Uploaded by Discchord on Nov 25, 2011

"I roused myself from a Turkey-induced-coma to bring you this timely review, so please forgive all the "uhh"s. Beat Shuffler is a beat juggling app for the iPad that makes loop mashing pretty fun and easy.

It is available now on iTunes: http://goo.gl/gmkxc (If you use my link, I get a cut. Thanks!)

Phaedra Sequencer for iPad

via Analog Industries, run by Chris Randall of Audio Damage.

"In my ludicrously ample free time, I've been working on this bad boy, Phaedra. It is an "analog" style four-channel MIDI sequencer for the iPad. Click the picture for the full-rez screenshot. In the interests of full disclosure, I borrowed heavily from the Moon Modular 568 Quad Sequential Trigger Source, which you can read all about up in here.

I still have a long way to go, but it is coming along nicely. Each step has note, velocity, gate time, and a pair of MIDI CCs of your choosing. I haven't yet coded in the chaining feature, but it'll be able to do 4 x 32, 2 x 64, and 1 x 128 modes. The steps can be 32nd note, 16th note, 8th trips, and 8th note, and each "bus" can run in arbitrary lengths. The "Live Control" knobs on the left can be used to modify one of the four destinations..."

one of one
"A different style of Time Machine (though similar in nature to the time scape and collaborative time machines) made for processing sound or as a standalone sound generator synth with magnetic patchbay/touchboard (for touch based synthesis), patchable keys and thousands of possibilities from the subtle to the extreme. Check out the others in the time machine/time scape realm to get an idea of what this piece is capable of.

Please go here to see more:

There are also a few user videos and more info posted on our blog.

The keys on this piece are patchable - each patch altering the incoming sound with ring modulation, stuttering, granulation and other strange effects. The time range is selectable from extremely tight to roughly 2 seconds, degrading in quality to slower times.

Samples can be captured, added to and manipulated in hundreds of ways and this time machine features modulation that the other time machines don't. The time machine can also be used strictly as a deep analog delay with dub feedback or set the time to extremely tight and use it as a flange - throw splashes of ring modulation or granulation in the way and it becomes something much more unusual. This piece also has a control voltage jack as well, allowing you to play times on a keyboard, for example.

Includes a manual and is signed by the artist; Arius Blaze..."

The Chemical Brothers on SOS

via Innerclock Systems, via Sound on Sound

"When it comes to looking after the Chemical Brothers, Cox certainly has his hands full. The duo’s live setup includes a mind-boggling array of digital and analogue equipment, ranging from the brand-new to the practically antique, all of which needs to be kept in rock-solid sync with Mac laptops running Logic and Ableton Live."

One of the tools that helps him do so is the Innerclock Systems Sync-Gen Sync-Lock pictured below.

Top (SOS): "Matt Cox tunes up a Roland Jupiter 6 polysynth prior to the Creamfields show. Note the custom-made covers that keep the gear dry backstage."

Middle (SOS): "Most of the Chemical Brothers’ on-stage gear is housed in custom curved racks that are designed to echo the lines of their favourite Serge modular synth."

Teenage Engineering OP-1: November 25, 2011

YouTube Uploaded by mastertonberry on Nov 25, 2011

"So I came home drunk yesterday night(!) and started creating this song instead of sleeping. Turned out alright haha. OP-1 only has 4 tracks but there is a lot of sounds overlapping each track here. I learned that if you press Shift+CutTrackKey you will copy all 4 tracks and can paste them later. I think there is a lot more to learn when copying/cut/pasting tracks which I still don't get.

I'm just goofing around in the last part of this song editing during playback with the EQ and the speed. I also use the reverse playback at the same time which turned out to be quite fun!"
