Impaktor Drum Synthesizer app for iPhone & iPad with Drum Sticks! - Demo and Looping Jam

YouTube Published on Oct 3, 2012 by iOSMusician5

"Impaktor for iPhone and iPad (universal app) is a drum synthesizer that you trigger with your device's built in microphone. The app is EXTREMELY accurate in perceiving the volume (velocity) of the notes you play, and even can trigger different tones from the synth with different sounds. "The real acoustical impulses from the built-in microphone are used as an excitation source for advanced sound modules that simulates behavior of membranes, cymbals, metallophones or strings. This makes Impaktor a highly responsive and expressive instrument."

iPod Touch on eBay

The iOS application - which is named "TANSU (dresser)", is a miniature
version of a Modular Analog Synthesizer. This synthesizer is the same as the
one used and mastered by Hideki Matsutake of LOGIC SYSTEM.

The sounds that were sampled and used for the VCO (Voltage Controlled
Oscillator) come directly from the actual "TANSU" owned by Hideki Matsutake
himself.
In addition, it also contains many original LOGIC SYSTEM recordings. The
application condenses the fun, experience and sound of an actual modular
synthesizer onto the small screen of an iPhone!!

What will the sound be like when using the application? This application is
focused on providing the user with the feeling and excitement of using the
actual synthesizer for which it is based.

Not only for a techno fan, but for any music lover!! Feel what it is like to
create your own music!!
Try this application to experience the "the birth of sound and music."


The main functions

■LOGIC BOX
Sound effects such as Shepard Tone and rhythms from music by LOGIC SYSTEM
have been made directly into the sound source.

■MUSIC
You can use your iPhones own music library as a sound source. (However,
certain tracks which are covered under DRM may not be used).

■Microphone function
You can use sounds which have been recorded with microphone.

■Preset function
You can explore the potential of the TANSU Synth from various demo patterns.
Moreover, it can be utilized as a tutorial for beginners.

■VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator), VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter), VCA
(Voltage Controlled Amplifier), LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator), EG (Envelope
Generator)

Enhance the basic functionality of an analog synthesizer. (Various sound
processing is possible.)

■It has an 2 channel 8 step analog sequencer!

(We are planning to add a function for converting to a 1 channel 16 step
sequencer)

■You can enjoy connecting and reconnecting the patch cord to creat sounds
just as with a real synthesizer.

■Three sound sources can be mixed by a three-channel mixer!

"Moog" Minimoog Donnimoog Synthesizer with Original Box

via this auction

"Here it is, one of the weirdest episodes in synthesizer history. Just Google Donnimoog and you'll get some interesting stories. I met Don Martin a couple times in the 1990's, but I didn't get this directly from him. I was browsing the old Dr. Sound store in NYC when they had just gotten this piece in the door. Believe it or not, it's a good sounding synth. Doesn't sound exactly like an old Minimoog Model D, perhaps because of the age of the components or if there were some design changes. There's probably a thread on some forum about the specifics. To my ears it sounds more like an original Minimoog than the Voyager/Phatty, but it's purely subjective. Other than the slightly different colors of the rocker switches, it's a visual doppelganger. Serial Number 13285, so I guess he picked up where the real ones left off. We actually used it in the studio for a while, but it's been in the closet in the original box for at least 10 years now. Still looks brand new. Spock with a beard."  See the donimoog label at the bottom of this post for more.

BugNews - uCrushers, TravelWeevil, TOUR

via the Bugbrand Mailing list:

"NewsNewsNews:
- there are more uCrushers
- (I know I said last time that Weevils may go to sleep, but..) there are new TravelWeevils
- and I am going travelling around Sweden and Norway for the 2nd half of October

*uCrushers*
A new batch has just been added to the shop.

As I am about to head off to http://tuskfestival.com/ for the final WOM event, I will be shipping any orders out on Monday.  One week window for purchase as then I'm off travelling.

*TravelWeevils* & *Touring*
These go together.. because I designed the new TravelWeevil specifically for the forthcoming Scandinavian Tour - think of it as being like a Ltd.Edition Tour CD.

http://bugbrand.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/travel-weevil.html
Limited run of 50 and ONLY available at shows.

The first five will be available at http://tuskfestival.com/ this weekend.

http://bugbrand.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/bugbrand-scandinavian-travels-october.html

8 dates around Sweden with a brief pop into Norway - we have shows, we have talks, we have demos, and we have a Modular-Meet.

This is a chance for me to get out and play with the BugModular, to meet people, to talk and to show.

Do come along and say hello!
And please spread the word if you can.

That wraps things up for most of October.

Now, off to Tusk to fire up the soldering irons.

Thanks and best wishes!

Tom"
