Handel Modular fuga F-major HWV 611

YouTube Published on Aug 9, 2012 by powerofthetruth

"This is an early fuga of Handel. If you compare f.e. the fuga h-minor HWV 608, which is a much later work, you may hear the development of Handel.
It is performed on YUSYNTH modular synth, hand-made by Synthservice.cz in Prague by Pavel Vancura.
In the 80s I had an ARP 2600, which unfortunately I had to sell, now this synth is very similar to it: 3 VCO, noise generator, 2 VCF, mixer and S/H, 3 ADSR and 2 VCA.
With this synth I also recorded the whole well tempered clavier of Bach. More info please refer to http://www.danielphilippstotz.info/"

MFOS Noise Toaster Presentation

YouTube Published on Aug 9, 2012 by theraywilsonshow

"Hey everyone... YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS!

The MFOS Noise Toaster is the latest LO-FI project we've come up with deep in the MFOS underground lab. I really think people who attend noise fests, noise battles, synth-diy meets, the symphony (alright maybe not the symphony...) are going to consider this standard equipment (symphony during intermission may be OK). I have to say that in some places having this much fun with a single nine volt battery might just be totally illegal so be careful where you bring it! The Noise Toaster has: One wide range VCO, a WHITE NOISE GENERATOR, a simple but fun VCF, a simple but effective VCA, an AR envelope generator, an LFO with several waveforms, a line out jack, and a nicely normalized switching scheme. But wait... there's more! Last but not least we've put a 1W amp and speaker right into the unit. I want to emphasize that this device is LO-FI. It is not a temperature compensated, V/Octave trackin, needs calibratin', must have highest quality components - kind of thing. This thing is just a freakin' blast to goof with. Prepare to create a limitless cadre of amazing and unusual sounds. And of course there will be mods in the future. How about connecting your WSG to the Noise Toaster's filter and VCA... I already put some pads on the PC board to facilitate it. You could even modulate the Noise Toaster with the WSG (pads for that too)! I plan to offer kits and PC boards as well as complete units. I'll put a blurb on the MFOS home page when the project is posted.

Why is it called the "Noise Toaster" you ask? Well, what would you call something that has a bunch of knobs and switches that, when twiddled, cause unusual sounds and noises to pop out? Right... Then... On to the next project.

Thanks for watching."

MUZA - musical instrument and MIDI Controller for iPad and iPhone

YouTube Published on Aug 9, 2012 by Betterburg

"Muza is on the AppStore for a SPECIAL LAUNCH PRICE!
Muza - Andrey Smetanin

http://muzamusic.com/

If you like the music in this video you can download it for free here http://snd.sc/QKogC8

Here are some testimonials from professional reviewers:

"Muza is a gorgeously done midi controller with its own built in smooth sounds. Quality design and control is of the essence with this app- too many controllers have a boring look and clumsy feel.
However, Muza changes all that and adds a vital factor- your intuition!"
Zaxis, http://www.zaxism.com.

"Muza is pretty cool and looks stunning! I've been playing around with this instrument for a day now and it's a lot of fun and has a huge amount of potential to develop and grow into a very powerful tool.
It's very easy to play and can help to come up with ideas and melodies you wouldn't arrive at if you sat down and started composing on a conventional keyboard."

"Up for auction is a fully working Synare SX3 Analog Drum Synth. It sounds huge & spacey. and is super clean. It has wear associated with being 30+ years old - the drum pad and 3 main screws have been replaced, the volume knob is inoperable (but set at the loudest setting), and a ludwig drum mount probably replaced the original. It's certainly not mint, but very playable as witnessed by the video"

SpaceWiz Tutorials with Jordan Rudess


SpaceWiz - Jordan Rudess: Wizdom Music, LLC


"Immerse yourself in the wonders of a visual/audio experience like no other! Take the role of viewer AND creator in a galaxy where you reign.

SpaceWiz allows you to interact with and control your environment at the highest level of complexity. With the manipulation of your own fingers on the playing surface, together with the technological wonders of the Chaos and Satellite generators, you fabricate particles, which then collide into planets. You can even add the onboard real time synthesizer with its independent set of sounds and parameters to create your sonic masterpiece.

Regardless of your desires, this app will reward you with a mind-blowing creation. Sit back, and allow SpaceWiz to guide you on a uniquely woven audio-visual journey. Enjoy the ultimate sonic/visual wallpaper, or get busy and start throwing your own particles around the universe. Try rolling the dice for total randomization and see what happens! For creators who want to play a larger role in their SpaceWiz experience, you also have the opportunity to build your audio/visual world from the void! Jordan Rudess explains:

"We partnered with developer Tobias Miller to see if an otherworldly dream I had could be made into reality. He was able to bring it completely to life."

Rudess and Miller worked together to create every unique sound and image. There are over 250 on-board instruments, as well as forty-five presets and access to control external midi instruments.

Top sound designer Richard Devine attests:
" I love SpaceWiz. It’s totally out of this world. I haven't seen/heard anything like it before!"

Producer/Composer Steven Wilson adds:
"I just love it! I've been repeatedly hitting the random tone button until I hear something I like, and then working with the modulation and FX pages to develop it. Amazing work!"

NORD DRUM Synth Edit

YouTube Published on Aug 9, 2012 by AudioCentralMagazine

"Nord Drum is a four part/three layer synthesizer with separate control for Click, Noise and Tone; there's a lot of internal parameter for sculpting the "percussive" sound. Too sad, in V 1.0 there's no capability for remote MIDI programming... The line out of Nord Drum goes straight into digital recorder and you'll need some subwoofer or some decent monitors to hear the bass frequencies coming out from this babe..."
