"Here's a quick video demo of a MacBeth Micromac-D being played via the prototype of the up and coming 3 Octave Touch Plate Keyboard.....and another thin that I've been working on- a 'dual tape delay synthesizer'! Playing these things together is a lot of fun!...."

That's what I'm talking about...

The knobs remind me of the clear Gleeman Pentaphonic.  Different shape of course, but both clear.

Livid CNTRL:R and Dave Smith Instruments Tempest - The Meeting

Published on Oct 30, 2012 by lividTV

"Check out this preview of Peter Nyboer (Livid) and Carson Day (DSI) in a "best of both worlds" throw-down. With an unholy union of gear from the Livid and Dave Smith shelves, Carson and Peter conjure up a mad mix of clips, synths, plug-ins, and step sequencers, in a seamless combination of analog and digital sounds.
Livid and Dave Smith Instruments at first glance seem like two opposites in the music tech world: Livid's controllers are geared toward trends of portability, flexibility, and all-digital, real-time production. Dave Smith's Tempest is gloriously rooted in traditions of analog audio and all-in one electronic instrumentation. However, both companies are simply fans of electronic music, and wanted to find a way to cross-pollinate these ideas. Keep your eye on your inbox, twitter feed, facebook page, or your tickertape for the upcoming tutorials and downloads that show how to bring these amazing pieces of gear together!

Ohm RGB Step Sequencers Overview.

Published on Oct 30, 2012 by lividTV

"The OhmModes Remote Script now has the ability to run Livid Steppers. Here's an overview of using the Drum Stepper, Synth Stepper, and StemBot with the OhmRGB in Ableton Live. The OhmModes Remote Script already gives you multiple ways of controlling Live, with the Mix, DJ, and Play modes. With this new addition, a quick press of the Livid button drops you into the Mods where you can get deep into the Stepprs.
With the OhmRGB, Sequencing, DJ'ing, Playing, and Mixing are all at your hands in full color and total control."

The Deathlehem Machine portable edition

Published on Oct 30, 2012 by Richarius Molindarius

"This is a very short video to give you a rough idea of what my latest noise machine can do! :D This one's a little different though! Not only is he PORTABLE and will be running on a pair of 9V batteries, but he also has STEREO speakers built into him and will have 2 stereo outputs as well! :D
This is the prototype of my idea that I originally had for my 4th Deathlehem Machine that I built in the mid 90's. This guy though blows that one away, as this one is operating on 4 x Voltage Controlled Low Frequency Oscillators! :D (2 of them USED to be 1V/oct. VCOs in my modular. The other 2 x VCLFOs were taken from the same place.)
The 2 x former VCOs can play then entire audio range as well as drop down to almost pausing speed VCLFOs with the triangle waveform. They can also modulate the other VCLFOs with squarewaves
The 2 x VCLFOs can operate from almost pausing speed up the midrange of audio with either triangle or squarewaves.

Operationally:
Each of the 4 x VCLFOs have the following controls:
- Coarse tuning
- Fine tuning
- Control Voltage #1 amount
- Control Voltage #2 amount
- Triangle or Squarewave
- a speed LED
- a volume control

Each of the 4 x VCLFO's can modulate 2 others. The connections are:

VCLFO #1 is hardwired to modulate VCLFO #2 and VCLFO #3
VCLFO #2 is hardwired to modulate VCLFO #3 and VCLFO #4
VCLFO #3 is hardwired to modulate VCLFO #4 and VCLFO #1
VCLFO #4 is hardwired to modulate VCLFO #1 and VCLFO #2

There be some huge amounts of modulation potential in this guy as well as audio screaming that'll scare not one but BOTH of your grandmas! :D Lol.

I'm seriously debating putting this prototype up for sale on e-Bay once he's completed. I only have a couple of small things to do now to finish it up in a nice carry-around portable package.

Lemme know what you think he would be worth to anyone out there he gets a kick out of making sounds that you wont find everyday in your nearest CD store! :D

Thanks for any input! :)

Bye buy boys and girl! ;)

MacBeth Tape Delay Synthesizer

via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

"...that thing is it's a dual tape delay synthesizer that I've been working on! Some that's going to be an output stage for a complimentary synth to the micromac series!"

These three together though are giving me a mind blowing sound/performance! Video shortly!" [video posted here]
