"Note: Although I am associated with Folktek as a visual artist/sound designer, this work is unaffiliated with Folktek.

This is the ultimate live glitch visual production tool. Every professional VJ should have one of these in their arsenal. It has an amazing way of fragmenting, fractalizing and freaking whatever video you process through it.

This WJ has TWO modes of operation:

SOUND VISUALIZATION MODE:

By plugging a well-amplified audio signal in to the modified AVE-3 you can profoundly glitch the visuals in a variety of unique ways.. all in real-time. Just take a look at the videos below. This mode is good for veejays, performance artists or art installations.

VIDEO SYNTH MODE:

Without sound you can use the control box to hone in on a variety of glitch effects and looks, some not possible in sound visualization mode. This mode is good for post production, experimental film & masking/overlays.

Of course both modes can be combined. In fact it is encouraged.

All original functions of this mixer work except the mic input, headphones input and the titler input (all which were safely removed to make room for controls).

The original physical condition of this unit is a 9.5/10. About as clean as they get.

This device is perfect for:
Adding a unique look to your indie tv/film/event production.
Providing you with a variety of effects you can't get with After Effects.
Live professional VJ work .
Making dubstep music videos.
Lo-fi enthusiasts.
Inducing epilepsy.

This device is not perfect for:
HD football games and your 20.2 megapixels HDR HDMI gizmos."

Building DIY SammichFM 2011

YouTube Uploaded by Synthnl on Dec 10, 2011

"This year I build a Wilba SammichFM DIY synthesizer kit. It is bases on the famous Yamaha OPL3 sound chip that was also used on the famous Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 and SoundBlaster 16 ASP sound cards. It is a 4 voice FM synthesizer that sounds a lot like the famous Yamaha DX series. During the construction of the synthesizer I filmed the whole process. This movie is an excerpt of the 4 hours total build time. I made the 3D animations myself in Cinema 4D. The music you hear in the background in a track called 'thermosphere' from my 'AtmoSphere' album that I released in 2008. More information on the album on http://www.synth.nl/AtmoSphere. If you are interested in the whole build process of the SammichFM you can read that back on my blog on this URL: http://synthnl.blogspot.com/search/label/sammichfm"

The Uncanny Sequencer for Ableton Live

YouTube Uploaded by designthemedia on Dec 10, 2011

"The new & fresh & unique sequencer for IDM & braindance music w/Ableton Live.

You can buy it there: http://designthemedia.com/uncannysequencer

I designed this max for live machine for my own purpose, initially.
Indeed, I'm also protofuse (http://protofuse.net) and I need tools that makes my music unique & doesn't sound like the one of the others.

I decided to sell it, because I had a lot of requests about that, which made me happy about your very strong enthusiasm."

Moog Voyager Signature Editions - SN 338

via this auction

Here's something interesting. If you look at the second pic you will see the back has a "VOYAGER by Bob Moog" sticker on it. I've only seen others with a standard Moog sticker. I believe there were only 600 of these that all came out around the same time, so aside from wood type, I assumed they were all roughly the same. If you are lucky enough to have a signature edition Voyager, take a look at yours.

For those not familiar with the signature series, Bob Moog hand signed them in the square to the left of the display. Click the top pic to see it.

Update via the world of next tuesday in the comments: "It's "Voyager by Bob Moog" because it was sold in England and had to be re-logoed for legal reasons because someone else scooped up the trademark for their own use.. In terms of numbers, yes, far fewer were officially built for UK sale."

FreeEWI for iOS

"Virtual inline MIDI event mapper for iOS

FreEWI (pronounced free-wee) was designed as a free add-on for MidiBridge for EWI players, but can be used by anyone who needs to map MIDI events between apps. For mapping to/from external MIDI interfaces (or CoreMIDI network), MidiBridge is required.

Using FreEWI inline in a MIDI event stream, events can be processed as follows:

- Remap incoming MIDI channels to a different channel
- Remap incoming controller messages to a different controller
- Translate incoming controller messages to channel pressure (aftertouch)
- Remap incoming program change messages to a different number
- Transpose incoming note events up or down

Although primarily designed for use with MidiBridge, FreEWI can be used with other apps that have CoreMIDI virtual support. In order for another app to be compatible, the following applies:

- Generating app must be able to write to FreEWI's virtual MIDI port.
- Receiving app must be able to read from FreEWI's virtual MIDI port
- Generator and receiver can be same app

FreEWI supports fast switching to and from MidiBridge, so you can fast-switch/launch MidiBridge from FreEWI and vice-versa. Other OMAC apps that support fast-switching will also be able to fast-switch to FreEWI.

FreEWI does add a small amount of latency which varies depending upon the speed of the device and how busy the device is. Runs on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and requires iOS 4.2 or greater."
