TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 - Controllerism with Moldover

YouTube Published on Apr 13, 2012 by NativeInstruments

"We gave two new TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 units to controllerism pioneer Moldover for a weekend test drive. Combining the F1s with his TRAKTOR KONTROL S4, he unlocked the full potential of TRAKTOR's new Remix Decks™."

See the Moldover label below for some of his own controllers.

6U BLUE LANTERN MODULAR SYSTEM

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

That's one colorful system. It does not appear to include the controversial ZTVCO.

via the listing: "The case was Pro made by a Plastics Manufacturer. I installed (2) Pairs of Black Tip Top Z rails myself. I designed the Linear Power Supply myself. It is more then enough power for a 6U system. The beefy heat sinks don't get hot at all. There is a 2.1mm Jack where you can plug in a 5v Slim wall adapter if you needed to supply the 5v rail on the Doepfer Power scheme. The modules that I design don't use the 5v rail so I don't include the 5V wall adapter. You can buy one on ebay for about $10.00 (Center tip Positive). You only need the 5v Wall adapter if you ever buy Modules that require use of the 5v Rail.

SO THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE COMPLETED 100% WORKING MODULAR SYNTH AND THE DETACHABLE POWER CORD.

The buss boards follow the Euro Format standard and are compatible with all the Euro Manufactures out there.

SPECS OF THE LINEAR POWER SUPPLY
*TRANSFORMER-3AMPS WITH FUSE (110v AC USA)
*AC TO DC LINEAR CONVERTER HAS (1) 3A PTC RESETTABLE FUSES. THE POWER SUPPLY ITSELF IS RATED AT 1200mA FOR EACH RAIL (+/-)

SPECS OF THE CASE:
FLORESCENT GREEN AND CLEAR 1/4" THICK ACRYLIC CASE PRO GLUED TOGETHER TO MAKE IT ONE PIECE.
IT HAS RUBBER FEET ON THE BOTTOM.
The case outer dimensions are 18" x 12" x 6"

THERE IS 6HP REMAINING ON THE TOP ROW
THERE IS 43HP REMAINING ON THE BOTTOM ROW.

EVERYTHING IS NEW AND WAS BUILT THIS WEEK OF APRIL. I BUILT EACH MODULE MYSELF.
THIS JUST ABOUT CONTAINS ALL THE CURRENT MODULES I SELL.

LIST OF BLUE LANTERN MODULES
*(2) RED VCO'S
*(1) THE BASICS MODULE (MIXER VCA, ADSR, ADSR, DUO LFO, MIDI CV, ATTENUATOR) THE LAST ONE!
*(1) LM4250 VCF
*(1) DIODE VCF
*(1) SPACEMOTH VCF
*(1) PRO FM JOYSTICK
*(1) DUO NJM VCA
*(1) 6 CH MIXER
*(1) NOISE GENERATOR, WAVEFOLDER, GATE TO TRIG CONVERTER
*(1) 3 CH ATTENUATOR

THE MODULES RETAIL WOULD COST YOU $1540.00 IF BOUGHT INDIVIDUALLY.
THE CASE COSTED ME OVER $300.00 TO MAKE. SO THE MODULAR WOULD COST AROUND $1800.00 IF YOU TRIED TO MAKE ONE YOURSELF."

FlexibeatzII Pattern Based Music Making Application

YouTube Uploaded by sawsquaresine on Apr 10, 2011

"Please visit http://flexibeatz.weebly.com

FlexibeatzII has a default grid of 16 checkboxes (or steps), each step being 1/16th of a measure, although you do have the option of changing resolution to 1/32nd of a measure if you desire. You then chain these patterns of notes together to form longer compositions. You can use any .wav sound samples of your choice, or sounds you synthesize with the application itself from scratch, in each of the application's 10 channels. You can even combine samples with sounds you have created yourself, such as frequency modulating one with the other. Besides extensive sample editing and synthesis options, you also have a multitude of effects and 3-band parametric EQ per channel available. You can vary the pan, pitch and level of each sound in each channel, mute and solo sounds, specify which sounds can cut-off which other sounds, vary each sound's start and end point, and accent and swing notes, all while the sequence is playing. Tools are also provided to automatically chop up drum loops into individual hits, lock tempo of sounds in channels to master tempo, and auto-generate arpeggiator patterns. Once your composition is complete, you can record it to a .wav and .mp3 file. The application can be operated as a standalone application working off its own internal timer, or you can slave playback via midi-sync to another DAW or external sequencer."

Playlist:
FlexibeatzII Tutorial #1: Changing the sound of your sample - "This video is the first in a forthcoming series exploring interesting/unusual aspects of the free FlexibeatzII pattern based music making application. The current video focuses on some sample editing functions and effects which can transform the sound of your sample to practically a different instrument or sound effect."

FlexibeatzII Tutorial #2: Synthesizing sounds from scratch, and vocoding - "This video is the second in an ongoing series exploring interesting/unusual aspects of the free FlexibeatzII pattern based music making application. The current video focuses on how to use FlexibeatzII to synthesize every instrument sound from scratch (drums, bass, lead, sound effects and all) in a pattern for an Electro track, including vocoding of the vocal sample used in the track."

FlexibeatzII Tutorial #3: Chopping a drum loop sample into its individual sounds - "This video is the third in an ongoing series exploring interesting/unusual aspects of the free FlexibeatzII pattern based music making application. The current video focuses on how to use FlexibeatzII to automatically chop up any percussion loop wav file you may have into its individual 'hits' and then sequence the 'hits' into an entirely new pattern."

FlexibeatzII Tutorial #4: Syncing to a DAW or Hardware Sequencer - "This video is the fourth in an ongoing series exploring interesting/unusual aspects of the free FlexibeatzII pattern based music making application. The current video demonstrates how to sync FlexibeatzII to both a DAW and an external hardware sequencer. All applications in this video: FlexibeatzII, Reaper, Audacity and LoopBe, are freely downloadable and not time/feature crippled in any way."

FlexibeatzII Tutorial #5: Making a complete track from loops - "This video is the fifth in an ongoing series exploring interesting/unusual aspects of the free FlexibeatzII pattern based music making application. The current video demonstrates the creation of a complete track around a couple of drum loops freely downloaded from the 'net, and shows how the finished song needn't sound anything like the original loops."

Paint2Sound Image to Sound Converter

YouTube Published on Apr 9, 2012 by sawsquaresine

"Paint2Sound is a neat little free application for converting any .jpg or .bmp image or any picture you care to draw/paint, into a soundscape. Each pixel row represents a frequency band. The application synthesizes sine waves for each pixel row with an instantaneous amplitude determined by the brightness of each pixel in the pixel row, and then sums together all the sine waves. There is user control over various parameters like sample rate, sound duration, how frequencies are distributed across the pixel rows and the overall level in the mix of each sine wave. Can never have enough wacky sound sources I say..."

ESX-4CV CV Expander

via Expert Sleepers

"The ESX-4CV is an expansion module for the ES-4 or ES-5, adding four CV outputs from one expansion header.

In order to squeeze four 12 bit channels through one 8 bit connection, the channels are time-multiplexed and so effectively run at one-eighth of the audio sample rate. For example, if the audio interface/DAW is running at 48kHz, the ESX-4CV's outputs are running at 6kHz. This is still plenty fast enough for most CV purposes, except for audio-rate modulation and the very fastest envelopes. Because the outputs are still derived from the audio stream, they retain the advantages of the ES-3/4 over traditional MIDI-based interfaces, that is, rock solid timing and absence of jitter.

The outputs are hardware calibrated and so do not require the use of e.g. Silent Way's software calibration when used with standard V/octave synths/oscillators. That said, the ESX-4CV's 12 bit resolution is adequate to perform software calibration if required (e.g. to cater for misbehaving oscillators that don't track well to a standard calibration), or to support oscillators with a Hz/V response.

Coming April/May 2012. See here for some info.
Specifications
The ESX-4CV's specifications are as follows:

Panel width: 4HP
Module depth: 26mm
Digital input: connection from ES-4 or ES-5 module
Analogue outputs: 4x 3.5mm jacks, DC-coupled
Output voltages: ±5.33V, hardware calibrated
D/A conversion: 12 bit, using high precision Analog Devices DACs
Indicators: 2 LEDs per channel (+ve and -ve voltages)
Current draw: TBC"

音声は諸事情により簡易レコーダー（Airマイク）で録ったため、定位が若干ふらつきますが、その旨ご了承ください。

Because recorded some voice in the (Air Mike) Simple recorder, but a slight wobble localization due to circumstances, please understand that effect.
