The Analog Session - Ascension

YouTube Published on Jul 14, 2012 by mauriziodami

"'Ascension' is the first of 4 video-clips resulting from a session held at Alexander Robotnick's studio in April 2012.
A couple of cuts were made to bring the original 20 minute session down to a 10 minute video. No adjustment to the music was made in post-production. The parts played by Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky are totally improvised, with the exception of the central break and the theme of ascending notes that gives the title to the track. These two were previously agreed upon by the two musicians. The rhythmic part and the bass line were written on the sequencer in the modular synth operated by Ludus Pinsky. Some other sequencer lines derive from the main bass line.
The computer appearing in the video was used to record the performance on 24 tracks.
The video was shot by three standing cameras. The shots made by the mobile camera were mainly used to fill in the cuts.
"Ascension" is part of The Analog Session's forth-coming album featuring Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky that will be released in November 2012 by Hot Elephant Music.

Pavlovian Rhapsody

YouTube Published on Jul 14, 2012 by cwinkels

"To address the grave concerns of one Mr. J. Woodall of the fine municipality of York in olde Blighty, I have crafted this elegant new piece of crap to alleviate his worries about me never using drums in any of my pieces of "music".

The musical line, such as it is, is a Q960 sequencer driving an SSL Model 1200 VCO (the output of which is being fed into a Super Sawtor then from that into an STG Sea Devils Filter). The honking big bass drum is a bit of Dotcom pink noise running through the fantastic MegaOhm CdS lowpass gate with a tiny bit of resonance and lots of CV control from a standard Dotcom envelope generator. Triggering for the bass drum is provided by the STG Trigger Mini-Store.

Keith Moon, eat your heart out."

iTG33 iPad Editor Now Available

YouTube Published on Jun 24, 2012 by iControlMIDI

"Apple has just released iTG33 iPad editor, our dedicated iControlMIDI iPad editor for the Yamaha TG33.

The TG33 is a great sounding synth but very hard to program.

iControlMIDI for the TG33 implements all the Voice parameters including Vectors.

The TG33 can be edited using the following Pages on iControlMIDI:
• Page 1: Common parameters and FX parameters
• Page 2: TONE A parameters
• Page 3: TONE B parameters
• Page 4: TONE C parameters
• Page 5: TONE D parameters
• Page 6: VECTOR Level 1-7 parameters and VECTOR Level Speed parameter
• Page 7-13: VECTOR Level 8-50 parameters
• Page 14: VECTOR Detune 1-7 parameters and VECTOR Detune Speed parameter
• Page 15-21: VECTOR Detune 8-50 parameters
• Page 22: Common Name parameters

To offer a better workflow, iControlMIDI will:
• iControlMIDI automatically enables the ENV parameters if ENV Type is equal to USER
• iControlMIDI automatically disables the ENV parameters if ENV Type is different than USER
• iControlMIDI automatically enables the TONE C and TONE D Pages and Vector X parameters if Configuration is equal to A-B-C-D
• iControlMIDI automatically disables the TONE C and TONE D Pages and Vector X parameters if Configuration is equal to A-B"
