PPG Wavegenerator, first test of upcoming voice-per-channel MIDI mode

Published on Oct 15, 2012 by Geert Bevin

"I've been helping Wolfgang Palm with adding a new feature to PPG Wavegenerator that allows per-note expression over MIDI by implementing a voice-per-channel MIDI mode. This is a quick test of the first fully working version he sent me today. It's short, but I hope it shows the possibilities of this feature with new electronic instruments like the Eigenharp.

Note that this demo is only using one single sound that has independent expression in three axis for each individual note.

I'm using a modified version of the standard 'Jigsaw Lead' patch that has up-down movement mapped to per-note filter cutoff (Y movement in PPG), pressure (X movement in PPG) to note volume and left-right movement to per-note pitch with a 5 semitone interval.

This new feature is probably going to be available as an additional in-app purchase."

"Loops" - on Roland SH-2000

Published on Oct 15, 2012 by organfairy

"This is a melody that was composed by Belgian trio Telex in the early 1980's. But it was only recently I heard it for the first time when I got the "Belgium, one point" CD box.

"Loops" is a slow and somewhat sad song about everything in our lives seems to repeat itself - "Seems like yesterday reappear tomorrow" - and there are a lot of strange little details going on in the arrangement. So it was not a straight away task to learn how to play it.

I play the melody on the old Roland SH-2000 synthesizer. I use Roland Rhythm 77 for the rhythm (obviously), and Roland JX-8P synthesizer and Technics SX-C600, Elka EP-8, and Yamaha HE-8 organs for the rest."

"This will be the last of the man in the white lab coat. The whole thing is starting to feel a little played out. I do plan to continue making music in some way. Thank you for all of the nice feedback on the Atomic Shadow FB page."

Dr. Blankenstein Atari Punk Consoles in Classic Atari Styles

Dr. Blankenstein demos the Atari Punk Console (APC) / Module DELUXE!


Atari Punk Console Deluxe 1.5

Space invaders pics below.

DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is Dr. Blankenstein's Atari Punk Console Deluxe v1.0 "Atari 2600". Pretty much a super Atari stylized APC with a bunch of tricked out features. There is a photo theremin style motion / light sensors to control the sound, as well as a control switch to use a classic APC knob setup.

To add even more weird control to this sucker I have added FIVE BODY contacts that allow for some pretty cool sound manipulation (see video below). The middle one is connected to a low voltage germanium diode distortion circuit, this is a mod I haven't seen on many other Atari Punk Consoles.

There is also a 1/8" Control Voltage (C.V.) Input so that it can be sequenced with an analog sequencer or even modulate the sound by connecting a piezo trigger to it... fun stuff!

The case is build of strong, built to last ABS plastic. The graphics were taken from the Atari 2600, stylized to make the box look almost like a mini game unit. People seem to really dig the faux wood sides, I would have to agree. ;)

Make sure to check out the video and pictures bellow...


FEATURES:

- 1 Motion / Light Sensitive Theremin like top mounted sensor
- 2 Square Wave Synth Control Knobs
- Standard ON/OFF switch
- Cool Color Changing / Randomly changing how it flashes mounted power LED
- 1/8" Control Voltage (CV) Sequencer / Piezo Input
- 5 Body Contact points for pitch change, distortion and other glitch effects
- 1/4" Mono Output Jack
- 9V Battery Powered
- Quality / Professional build
- Classic ATARI 2600 Graphics
- One of a Kind numbered piece!"
