Kraftwerk - Music Non Stop

Uploaded by uhupattex on Nov 23, 2008

"The music was generated, recorded and mixed on analog and digital equipment and transfered to the digital master. It was the first Kraftwerk album in CD format. The tracks 'Boing Boom Tschak', 'Technopop' and 'Musique Non Stop' formed a sequence of tracks, an idea that would be used a lot in the DJ culture mixing technique. The use of samplers made the treatment of voices more sophisticated, incorporating them into the rhythm and melody at the same time. Boing Boom Tschak is in fact pure sound-poetry and electronic-funk, followed by the synthetic voices and sound-collages of "Music Non Stop". The mix of this album was done by Francois Kevorkian in New York.

The changes did not only occur in terms of digital sound, Kraftwerk also digitized their own images. The cover of 'Technopop' showed the digitized faces in computer graphics, developed at the New York Institute of Technology. The video of "Music Non Stop"is a tremendous example of virtual modeling and was created by Rebecca Allen and the team of NYIT Computer Graphics Laboratory. The pioneering work of developing these 3-D computer animations took more than two years to be completed."

the magnetic bug by folktek, talking to itself

YouTube Uploaded by pianoloft on Feb 18, 2012

"concerning to sound, the controlling of sound and the art-design, the instruments by folktek (http://folktek.com/) are really extraordinary. they are hand crafted and own wonderful wooden enclosers, as you can watch. the noises going on at the MAGNETIC BUG are not predictible, they change their color and character all the time. a lot of oscillators are intermodulating with each other, forming endless variations. patches, a magnetic patch-bay and knobs are used to produce and develop a chaotic, nasty, grimey, splittering and crackling soundscape - sometimes aggressive, sometimes melacholic, all the time surprising and fresh.
i combined the MAGNETIC BUG with a high pass filter, and in the first part there is also a soft atmosphere added useing the DEMENTIA DM-1, sent through the filter of the KORG MONOTRON and the RAINBOWMACHINE."

iK3m v1.2 Wired and Wireless CoreMIDI iPad Editor Now Available

YouTube Uploaded by iControlMIDI on Jan 13, 2012

"Apple has released iK3m v1.2 our Wired and Wireless CoreMIDI iPad Editor for Kawai K3 / K3m.

iControlMIDI for the K3 / K3m offers a very intuitive workflow that will help “open-up” the synth:
• Substrative Synthesis: as usual iControlMIDI will display the parameter name ex: DCO Wave and the parameter value ex: Saw and the parameters are sonically logically organized: DCO Page with DCO modulations, VCF Page with VCF modulations and VCA Page with VCA modulations.
• Additive Synthesis: you can do it in 3 simple steps!
Step 1: You have a visual representation of the 128 harmonics and you can adjust the harmonic level for each of them - but this will not send any MIDI message at this step in order to not overload the K3 / K3m;
Step 2: Then, with one button (ADD “Send!”) you can send your additive synthesis wave (first 32 non zero-level harmonics only) to the K3 / K3m Internal Additive Wave;
Step 3: Then, to offer pseudo-real-time workflow you can press the TONE 1 “Send!” button which will send all the Substrative Synthesis parameters to Internal TONE 1 and send a MIDI Program Change for TONE 1 which will let you hear your Additive Wave inside the TONE 1 if you have selected DCO Wave 32 (Additive) for DCO1 or DCO2. Sweet! Of course you should back-up your TONE 1 and / or Internal Additive Wave to the cartridge or your computer before.

The K3 and K3m can be edited using the following Pages:
• Page 1: DCO, DCO Modulations, Additive “Send!” button and TONE 1 “Send!” button
• Page 2: VCF, VCF Envelop, VCF Modulations and LFO
• Page 3: VCA, VCA Envelop and VCA Modulations
• Page 4: Additive Synthesis Harmonic 1 to 32 levels
• Page 5: Additive Synthesis Harmonic 33 to 64 levels
• Page 6: Additive Synthesis Harmonic 65 to 96 levels
• Page 7: Additive Synthesis Harmonic 97 to 128 levels"
