"A first composition with Animoog 2 and my Eigenharp Alpha. I'm using a single sound patch in Animoog that totally changes based on how I touch the keys on the Eigenharp. The sound ranges from something akin to a polyphonic theremin to percussive glass sparkles as well as everything in between. This patch was based on one of Animoog's Acoustic Expansion Pack patches.
Animoog 2 has improved its MIDI handling tremendously and together with an iConnectMIDI interface, I'm able to send the Eigenharp expression data to Animoog at full rate without any decimation. Creating and playing music with Animoog is now a very emotional experience. Currently this only reacts to polyphonic aftertouch, but I'm hopeful that Moog might ultimately add full support for Voice-Per-Channel MIDI, maybe even at 14-bit resolution.
Animoog sounds amazing to me and is amongst the top software synths I've played."
The Eigenharp reminded me of a Christmas tree so I'm giving this one the holidays label.

Dot Com Modular FM Bell Test
Published on Dec 20, 2012 by FatSynthDude

"Using a two-thousand dollar synth to emulate the sound of a hundred dollar synth. I must be doing something wrong, right? XD
This is an idea I've been kicking around for a while but haven't been able to act on until recently. I love FM synthesis, but like so many other FM fans, the interface of the Yammies is rather infuriating to me. I've always thought it would be fun to do something like this on a modular where not only would there be no menus, but with the patch cables, it would become a lot easier visualize the algorithms. I just did an upgrade to my Dot Com system to where I'm up to five oscillators now. This is an emulation of a 4-op FM synth a la DX100 or TX81Z emulating a bell sound. Configuration is simple: One oscillator acts as a modulator for a second oscillator, and that's replicated for a second series run in parallel to the mixer. (TX81Z users, imagine algorithm 5.) The fifth oscillator acts as a sync source to keep everything stable. All waveforms are sine. This 'vid' begins with just the raw oscillators being played with. Then, the two filters are introduced (a high-pass filter and the Moog filter set to 24db slope). Afterward, some reverb and chorus are brought in from the Lexicon MX300.
I'm kinda hating myself for going as long as I have without dumping some money into my lowly Dot Com system, but after getting to play with this, I'm definintely committing myself to bringing more modules into the system (and hopefully investing in one of those sexy Box11 cabinets!)"t

Synthtronica
Published on Dec 20, 2012 by Apps4idevicesMusic
"apps4idevices.com/read/synthtronica SynthTronica is a spectral synthesiser that creates a huge range of sound possibilities using the advanced spectral signal processing of Formant Distortion Synthesis. To put things more simply, it uses a spectrogram to create the main sound, then uses a combination of filters, pulse waves and reverb to further shape the sound. You can create your own Formants using the iPads built in mic, import wav files through iTunes file sharing or simply audio paste files you've created in other apps. Formants can even be created directly from performances you record in the app, and easily trimmed using the Formant editor. The next unique feature is the multi-touch filter screen which allows up to 11 touches, which is like using 11 separate filters at once. It also has a multi-stage envelope for greater sound control, you set the amounts in decibels as well as the time it takes to evoke each stage. Finally, it not only let's you record, but also let's you overdub performances or just play to a backing track while you record. It doesn't have MIDI yet but I believe it is coming. I really love the sounds I can create with this synth, it's easy to navigate and is still the only fully featured spectral synth available. Even just for the filters alone, I have to rate this synth as ... A Killer App!

kosm - gravity sequencer for Android - showing all operating modes
Published on Dec 20, 2012 by 01101001011001110110
"Showing all modes of operation ( hold / emitter / 360 ) in a messy display of bouncing particles. Special attention goes to the new emitter mode : tap rhythmically for automatic creation of particles at the interval of your desire. You can get more musical results than the clusterf--- in the video by using care and some experimentation. You should be able to create some very pleasing rhythmic soundscapes.
Demonstrated on Asus Nexus 7 tablet. Should run on any device with Android OS 2.3 and up.
You can get kosm for free here on Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.igorski.kosm"
