Jim's Tips & Tricks: MIDI Guitar Control of Little Phatty - Shredder for iPad

YouTube Published on Jul 15, 2012 by jimmclaren1

"Apologies for the dark, grainy video! Was in the moment and just turned the camera on and didn't bother to set up the light ;)

This is a video showing how you can cheaply control a MIDI keyboard (such as my Moog Little Phatty) with a guitar using the iPad app, SHREDDER (by Yonac Inc.).

Pitch to MIDI control, tracking isn't amazing but I feel like it's kinda cool anyway. Decided to try a little jam to see what I could do with the setup. Thanks for watching!

My Tiptop Audio 808 modules have arrived. I'll take some better shots in a bit, but thought I'd put up a quick post before I disappear for a bit. About to make some fireworks with these. :) Check out the cool packaging these come in! Tubes of 808 goodness.

Sound Design using FM synthesis and Percussa AudioCubes

YouTube Published on Jul 14, 2012 by Percussa

"A quick video showing how to use AudioCubes by Percussa with an FM synth to gesturally create new sounds. The synth used is Operator. In Ableton Live, two tracks are created each with their own Operator instance. Each of the Operator synths has 2 oscillator pairs, which are controlled using 4 sensors on each of the AudioCubes (i.e. each synth is linked to a different AudioCube). The synth parameters can be controlled using your hand and finger gestures, or by pointing AudioCube sensors at each other like is demonstrated in this video. Learn more at http://www.percussa.com/"
