"Hybrid Control

Liine and Livid have teamed up to create truly unique Ableton Live control experience. Griid and Code can now be linked as a single controller via free scripts. This hybrid control concept is an innovative combination of multitouch and hardware.

Liine have often stated that the ultimate control setup involves both hardware and multitouch. They have put this approach into practice when building custom solutions for artists such as Orbital, Plastikman or Avril Lavigne's keyboardist Steve Ferlazzo. And now, if you are a Griid and Livid Code owner, you can experience the power of hybrid control yourself.

The latest Griid update, available in the iTunes App Store, enables a special sync mode with Code. Use Griid to navigate Session View and launch clips. Tap a header in Griid to select a track in Code. Grab knobs in Code to control mixer and effects. Four different Code control modes are available: Mixer, EQ, and two for Devices. Whether you're working in studio or live on stage, Code and Griid are always in sync."

PS, on some browsers, Flickr embedding will sometimes cause your mouse to wig out and disappear. If this happens, move your invisible mouse to the edge of the screen and hit the esc key. It should come back. You can then click on the top of the browser and refresh the page to get things back to normal. It's annoying but the slideshow is worth it imo. You might want to view this one full screen. If you want to skip it and go straight to Flickr though, here's a link.

MMTA SUMMER SYNTHFEST 2012 - Mr. AcidMachine

YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Jun 4, 2012

Prototype Dr.DrumSet drum machine by Mr.AcidMachine. It's based on the Roland TR-808 and TR-606. It sounds really nice. One cool featured that he showed me later and unfortunately I did not capture on video was the ability to tunes the metal oscillators for the cymbal, hihats, and cowbell at the same time with just one knob. You can get some really cool effects going while the rhythm is playing. Note the distorted synth sounds at :37 are coming from Vidgod which I pan to for a sec.

Update: above I initially stated that you could tune all sounds with one knob. That was my mistake. The knob tunes the metal oscillators for the cymbal, hihats, and cowbell at the same time. It makes for a really cool effect.

MMTA SUMMER SYNTHFEST 2012 - Hans Lindaur - The Missing Link

YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Jun 4, 2012

This is a follow-up to my twelve minute walkthrough, but only two minutes, and it starts with Hans Lindaur of wifimidi.com/ (aka Jabrudian Industries LLC), makers of The Missing Link wireless OSC to MIDI device. You can find more info on the device at wifimidi. In short you can connect your iOS device to it wirelessly and use it to transmit OSC or OSC to MIDI messages to your external gear. Many of my iPad editors for TouchOSC are mapped to The Missing Link for wireless control. You'll find other templates on their site.

In the video you'll also see the rare Technosaurus Effexon effects unit, Microcon synth, and two Cyclodon sequencers. To the right you will see a custom break-0ut box Hans built for the units. The video moves on to Larry Kleinke aka Computer Controlled's table and back around to Vidgod aka Gary Bauder and the Cosmic Tumblers.
