Reaktor Tutorial: Building a Basic Synth

Reaktor Tutorial: Building a Basic Synth from FlipMu on Vimeo.

This Reaktor Tutorial serves as an introduction to Reaktor, and covers building a two oscillator synth.

The video starts with an overview of the Reakor manuals, and then looks at building the synth example from the getting started manual.

The example ensemble can be found at flipmu.com/work/software/

hps-octane teaser screecast v0.91

hps-octane step sequencer teaser v0.91 from hpsounds on Vimeo.

hps-octane is a MaxForLive MIDI step sequencer designed with a modular point of view. Each step is divided in 8 main parameters families:
- GATE : the note event is played or not, with a probability parameter for each step;
- REPEAT : the note event is repeated or not, with micro-step edit;
- NOTE : set the value in semitone of the note, with note randomizing;
- OCTAVE : set the octave value of the played note, with octave randomizing;
- VELOCITY : set the velocity of the played note, with velocity randomizing;
- DURATION : set the duration of the played note;
- CONTROL 1 / CONTROL 2 : set the MIDI controller or remote Ableton Live parameter.

Each of these parameters has a TAB. Each TAB is in fact an independent sequencer with its own start and end step (so each sequencer can have its own lenght) with different motions (up, down, up&down, random, random w/ no repeat) or can be linked to the GATE TAB.

There is a nearly full remote and tactile control of up-to 8 instances from a custom Liine Lemur layout through OSC protocol, with an automatic iPad Lemur detection. Most of the parameters are MIDI controllable and clips "automatable" too.

Each instance has preset memories, and can be synchronized to Ableton Live or clip triggered which is a much more flexible way to play (a modular step sequencer with the full benefit of clip launching :-)

"Here is a screencast of the hps-octane step sequencer MaxForLive device, running in Ableton Live. The sequencer here is triggered by MIDI clips, which can include the step duration (with groove possibility), a reset at step one trigger, an on the fly preset change (via MIDI program change).

In the first part, hps-octane is remote controlled by a custom OSC Lemur template on an iPad. You can see presets and TABs parameters switching without the use of the mouse. For a proper interaction with the iPad, please check our previous video.

On the second part, we are using MIDI clips to switch presets.

Nota : nothing quite musical in this video :-)"

DIY Ondes Martenot MIDI Controller 2012


YouTube Published on Aug 19, 2012 by MITSUSHI ABE

"Here is my video showing how my self-made Ondes Martenot MIDI Controller prototype works. I used an Arduino to control software synthesizer "KORG Legacy Collection Mono/Poly for Mac OS X" in this system. At the end of this video, I played "The Swan (Saint-Saens)" on my Ondes Martenot MIDI Controller.

自作「オンド・マルトノMIDIコントローラープロトタイプ」の映像です。KORGのソフトシンセ「Mono/Poly」をコントロールするためにArduinoを使用。­演奏中に音質を変えるカットオフスライダも紹介します。ビデオの後半ではサン=サーンスの「白鳥」を演奏しています。
