Rhythm Core Alpha 2™ : Color Contraption by Lucky Button Pusher

Published on Jun 19, 2013 rhythmcorealpha·8 videos

"Introducing Rhythm Core Alpha 2™, and advanced music creation system for the Nintendo DSi™ and Nintendo 3DS™ game systems. In this video, chiptune artist Lucky Button Pusher performs his original song "Color Contraption"!

Rhythm Core Alpha 2™ has all of the creative tools needed to create great sounding music, with an emphasis on live performance. Like the original Rhythm Core Alpha™, is a combination of a music sequencer, a drum machine, and a stylus-based synthesizer for soloing. Not only does it provide traditional pattern based tools equivalent to PC-based MIDI sequencers and software synthesizers, but it also provides a powerful key detection and remapping capability that allows the player to change the key of their music by simply pressing a button. Both programs are easily reconfigurable for ease of live performance.
Rhythm Core Alpha 2™ improves on the features of the original by adding many new features:
• A Mixer screen for adjusting the levels of each track.
• Drum Pad screen for playing drum solos.
• Ten (10) different arrangements for the Solo screen, including one, two, and three row piano layouts, and "finger-playable" modes with wide buttons. A new 8-way grid mode has been added, and both grid modes can be completely customized!
• Many new file options:
o Export your song to SD card as MIDI!
o Save individual Blocks (loops) for use in other songs. We include 91 demo loops and beats and 13 demo songs!
o Import your songs from the original version of Rhythm Core Alpha.
• Many new sound customization options:
o Vibrato with new waveforms, including major and minor chord arpeggios.
o Portamento (a smooth pitch glide between notes).
o Echo, which can be set independently for each track.
o Pitch Envelopes give control of the pitch over time. Useful for special effects and certain sounds.
o Envelope Curves allows for more creative control over pitch and volume envelopes even than most professional synthesizers. o Sounds can now be renamed, and sound parameters can be copied to other tracks.
• The live recording of solos and key/block changes (introduced in the European version of Rhythm Core Alpha™) has been greatly enhanced. Pattern editing has been vastly improved as well!
• Each Block (loop) can be renamed. Never mistake your verse for your chorus again!
• Count-up / count-down timer shows how much time remains in the current Block!
• Stylish VU meter animated display!
• New sound samples have been added, and sound definitions have been updated to take advantage of the new features. Yes, yes, you can do dubstep.

...and many other features and adjustments from of three years of testing, recording songs, and performing in live shows.

Rhythm Core Alpha 2™ is available in the Nintendo DSiWare™ Store for 1000 Nintendo Points, and in the Nintendo 3DS™ eShop for $10 US.

Product is now available in the Americas, and will soon be available in Europe."

Yamaha CS-80 With MIDI Analog Synthesizer Video Demo

Published on Jul 11, 2013 MrFirechild·35 videos

"A song made with sounds from the Holy grail of Synthesizers, the Yamaha CS-80.
No more sound sources than this CS-80 is used on the track. This CS-80 is also equipped with MIDI. It receives polyphonic aftertouch from the Roland A-80 and responds as if you were playing on the real thing !
The song is called Ode to the Holy Grail and has a romantic but melancholic touch from the middle of Sweden."

Korg M1 Bonus Sound Library for the KROME Music Workstation

Published on Jul 11, 2013 KorgUSAVideos·379 videos

"The keyboard that changed everything -- Korg M1. Originally launched in 1988, M1 represented the first in what would become a new genre of instrument -- the Music Workstation. Featuring PCM-based sounds that were ahead of their time, multi-effects, and an eight-track onboard sequencer, M1 helped musicians create complete, professional productions on a single, integrated product. M1 went on to become the top-selling digital synthesizer of its time.

Heard on more records, commercials and movie soundtracks than we can count, the M1's impressive sound library is now available for KROME users in this special M1 Bonus Sound Library! This video offers an introduction to this great sound library, highlighting some of the more well-known M1 sounds including Universe, Lore, Nimbus, and that famous M1 piano sound!

This collection offers 100 Programs and 100 Combinations, which were intricately ported for use in KROME. The download also includes a collection of 6 demo sequences featuring the M1 sounds.
We are very grateful to our good friends at KARO software who produce and sent us this video out of the goodness of their hearts! Thank you Kurt Ader!

Oberheim OB8 with Pyxis Expression System

Published on Jul 11, 2013 New England Analog LLC·17 videos

"This video demonstrates the New England Analog Pyxis Expression System. This adds expressive aftertouch to the keybed as well as a removable pressure sensitive pad that can both control the VCOs, VCF, and VCA in the synth. By pressing down on keys, or by pressing on the pad, players can bend one or both VCOs, swell the volume or open the filter of the synth. The Pyxis also has its own internal triangle/square wave LFO. The LFO is free running, and has the option of being modulated by pressure. The LFO amount can be dialed in to the VCOs, VCF, and VCA, and LFO will only be sent to these if pressure is being applied. The Pyxis LFO runs through 3 voltage controlled attenuators that are controlled by pressure. As the player presses harder on the sensors, more LFO will be sent to the modulation destination. This allows for an amazing array of interesting and organic sounds to be created.
The Pyxis is available as an internal installation or in a separate wood enclosure. It has the option of having aftertouch installed in the keybed of the synth (we must do this at our shop), or the pressure sensor pad. The sensor pad has a magnet underneath it to secure it to metal surfaces. It also sits firmly on any other flat surface. As shown in the video, a synth can have both the pressure pad and keybed aftertouch installed. The installation of the Pyxis varies from synth to synth. Monophonic and Duophonic synthesizers take the least time to install the system in, while polysynths usually take a few hours to do the installation in. The aftertouch installation also varies as well. Small keyboards like the ARP Odyssey, Pro One, Minimoog, Prodigy, Multimoog, etc. will take less time than Jupiters, OBX/OB8, Polysix, Monopoly, etc. We offer custom installations of aftertouch, breath control, and pressure controllers for all analog systems. For more information, please check us out at www.NewEnglandAnalog.com. Thanks for watching!

PS- A note for the haters; This is not intended to be my musical magnum opus. This is just me demonstrating how the Pyxis controller works. If you'd like to see me actually trying to play well, check out my band! http://vimeo.com/35516441"
