Pigtronix Infinity, Korg EM1, Shruthi1, electric oud midi sync experimentation

Published on Jun 2, 2013 rudeog·27 videos

"Playing around with the new looper pedal synced to midi. Gear used here: Korg Kaoss Pad, Shruthi-1, Digitech RV7 reverb, Korg EM1, Pigtronix Infinity, home made two button pedal, Zoom G7.1ut and Sukar electric oud with my own custom pickup.
The looper pedal is synced by midi to the EM1 and has a cool feature in that it can reverse each of the two loops independently. I plan to make more vids with this pedal as it's very powerful."

Koushion MIDI Step Sequencer - NEW FEATURES

Published on Jun 2, 2013

"Koushion was just updated, adding a host of new features that make it an even more powerful music composition and production tool. It now has eight independent layers, each with its own MIDI Channel, Scale, Octave, Clock Divider and more. Each layer can have a different number of scenes (up to eight), making long, evolving patterns possible.

It works great with external hardware synths and softsynths, as well as other iPad music apps."

And the official press release:

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MIDI iPad app, Koushion, adds multiple layer support. GREENVILLE, SC - June 2, 2013

The Kudzu team recently added new features to its app, Koushion. One of the features allows for multiple layer support. Chris Stack made a video that showcases this new feature as well as the dark theme feature for low-light conditions.

Version 3.1

Features:
• 16 steps per scene (up to 128 steps in chain mode)
• 8 scenes with independent MIDI channel per scene
• 8 scene layers with independent key, quantization, and playback mode
• 4 playback modes: single, simultaneous, chain, rebound
• Key switching between any major, minor, pentatonic, or chromatic scale
• Adjustable clock divisions (1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32)
• Quantized scene switching
• MIDI clock send/receive
• Tap Tempo (great for syncing with a live band)
• Velocity control
• Optional monophonic drawing mode (only allows one note per step; great for programming leads) • Wireless connectivity via CoreMIDI Network Sessions
• Automatic integration with other apps via CoreMIDI virtual ports. Open up a synth in the

background and Koushion will trigger the notes!
• Multiple layer support (exponential flexibility increase!)
• Dark theme to reduce eye strain when working in low-light environments Pricing: $7.99

SSL Double-Deka VCO

"Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) for MU format modular synthesizer.

This module is one of just a few dozen out there, made in small batches by boutique MU Modular manufacturer SSL. Based on the Ian Fritz design, this module provide two 10-step waveforms to be defined which may be selected from via voltage controlled mix knob or discreet output.

In low frequency mode it can even be used to generate rhythmic pulses.

Below is a copy/past of the SSL product page which describes this product in detail...

'Innovator and designer extraordinaire Ian Fritz has teamed up with Synthetic Sound Labs to bring you one of the most useful and flexible VCOs on the market - the SSL 1130 Double Deka VCO.

The Double Deka is a stable, wide range 1V/Octave VCO with incredible sonic versatility. Imagine "drawing" a 10 stage waveform using lighted front panel sliders. Now imagine two of these separate waveforms, each with a precisely stepped 6 octave range control that can also be externally voltage controlled. In addition, using a built in knob or external control voltage, you can cross-fade between the two waveforms. Add to this, two unique new types of sync, a funky digital ring modulator (DRM) type input, plus separate linear and exponential FM inputs, and you begin to see (and hear) the possibilities.

This unique VCO consists of an ultrasonic oscillator core followed by a parallel pair of waveform generators. Each waveform generator consists of a voltage controlled multi-octave divider, followed by circuitry to generate a 10-step waveform using a set of 10 slider potentiometers. Also included are a novel synchronization circuit with two different operating modes and a built-in "digital ring modulator" (DRM) for producing a wide variety of synchronized and anharmonic sounds. The oscillator core is highly stable (better than 20 ppm/K ) and features wide-range, accurate tracking (better than 0.05% over fifteen octaves). The variable waveform generator provides fine control over an enormous range of available timbres. The high frequency output of the "core" oscillator is provided for use in driving other frequency dividers.

via this auction

"Stunning sounding and highly sought-after real analogue synth from the 1970's. The Korg 700s has dual oscillators with triangle, square and sawtooth waveforms, three ring modulators and the famous "traveller" high and low-pass filters. It also sports portamento, repeat-delay, auto-bend, vibrato, chorus and more."
