"The project is based on the use of the so-called cellular automata as a starting point for the creation of audio and video images in real time. Despite cellular automata have been used in algorithmic art for some years, whether that be music or genres associated with visual images, their huge potential as systems that allow most visually feel the power of the meaning of of the postulate “< = >” (less means more), in my opinion, still remain not fully uncovered..."

Boxed Ear OSCar Kontakt Sample Pack Released

"Boxed Ear is proud to present OSCar Kontakt Sample pack.

Boxed Ear has announced the release of OSCar, a new library for Kontakt 4 and 5 made entirely with the OSC OSCar synthesizer.

Released in 1983 by the Oxford Synthesizer Company, the OSCar was a unique combination of analog and digital. The oscillators are a digital design with the capability of being able to build waveforms using additive synthesis. These feed into an analogue multi-mode filter design which was inspired by the Minimoog trick of looping the synths output back into the filter's input to overdrive the filter circuits, resulting in a characteristically crunchy sound.

Included in the pack are 119 Kontakt instruments which cover a wide range of synth sounds, both monophonic and polyphonic: tough basses, gorgeous evolving pads, complex leads and a host of other synth sounds all stamped with the OSCar’s unique sound.
Details:
1.1Gb soundset
Over 2300 samples at 24-bit, 44.1 kHz quality
119 Kontakt instruments

Availability and pricing
OSCar costs USD $49, EUR €39 or GBP £30 inc.VAT and is available now from the Boxed Ear website.

Full version of Kontakt 4 or 5 is required. OSCar does NOT work with the free Kontakt Player."

"As you can see, it has some condition with some scratches and missing knobs but it produces sound and all the keys are working. It can save a preset, run in arpegiator mode, split and dual mode, and the lcd screen still working. However, I notice that this big monster sometimes making sounds like an alien and yes it does acting weird also..." Rust.

"An Improvisation with Elektron Analog Four.

My Octatrack failed to startup since yesterday. I will need to send it back to Elektron. So here's a song for my Octatrack using just an Analog Four and with Arturia Minilab as a MIDI controller."
