SonicZoom for iOS

Published on Jan 6, 2014 Robert Tubb·5 videos

"Demo of Sonic Zoom for CMJ article: this version was used for the pilot study, the final release was somewhat different."

iTunes: Sonic Zoom - Robert Tubb - the app is currently free.

"Sonic Zoom is a PhD research project from Queen Mary University. The app aims to look at how people interact with music synthesisers: how they adjust parameters and explore the vast range of sounds on offer.

There are two interfaces presented. The first is fairly standard: ten sliders that control each parameter. The second is more novel: a two-dimensional surface that can be scrolled and zoomed similar to a map. Every sound that can be made with the synth is located somewhere on this surface. If you find a sound you like, you can zoom in on it to explore smaller variations. You can save a sound and this will drop a marker on the surface. These markers are easy to revisit and can be smoothly interpolated between. Your path through the sound space is visible, so you can retrace your steps.

The first 15 minutes is a timed experiment. Users will then be asked to complete a quick questionnaire. After this you are free to use the app, and a few extra features will be unlocked as a reward."

Published on Jan 6, 2014 sonicstate·591 videos

"Electrify NXT and Stroke Machine are two very different approaches to the Groovebox idea. We take a look."

iTunes: Electrify NXT - Ingolf Koch | Stroke Machine - Wolfram Franke

Update: Details on the 1.0.1 update for Stroke mentioned in the video:

"What's New in Version 1.0.1
• Permanent Audiobus key.
• Fixed audio glitches (drop outs).
• Fixed distorted Audiobus recording.
• Fixed a problem that Stroke Machine stopped generating sound after loading a number of kits.
• Fixed issues with modulation wheel, pitch bend and aftertouch.
• Improved overall performance significantly.
• Improved performance of Phaser.
• Reduced bouncing volume.
• Added yellow voice killing indicator to the right of the Master Volume label. If this indicator lights up during playback, you might consider removing one or two notes in your pattern.
• Added red audio glitch indicator to the right of the voice killing indicator. During normal operation, Stroke Machine doesn't glitch anymore, but it might happen that another process draws so much CPU performance temporarily that this results in a glitch.
• Added "Download Manual" button to Global page.
• Added lots of Preset Kits.
• Changed "www.frankemusic.de" to a button linked to the Franke Music website.
• Fixed issue with kits using Delay or Clk Delay having the wrong delay length.
• Fixed an issue with muted or soloed parts when loading a kit.
• Fixed an issue in the assign view.
• Fixed hanging notes on sequencer playback start.
• Fixed problem with some notes playing back too long.
• Fixed a zoom error in step view.
• Fixed possible crash when loading a sound or kit.
• Fixed crash when importing a sound or kit via document sharing on the iPad, i.e. by tapping on a Stroke Machine document received via email.
• Fixed rare modulation problems."

Moog Circuit Bending Challenge 2014 - 'Haxxor Amstrad Synthesizer' (by Dave Bradbury)

Published on Jan 6, 2014 HAXXOR AUDIO·39 videos

"This is the first of three vids documenting my Haxxed & Circuit Bent AMSTRAD CKX100 - My entry to the Moog Circuit Bending Challenge 2014...

Part 1 shows the machine in all it's glory as a sinister 8-bit Chord Organ, a LO-FI Vintage style Arpeggiator & a complex, deeply fascinating Glitch noise generator.

It loves to make dark, lucid psychedelic tones, Ultra-harmonic drones, de-tuned spectral chords and 8-bit granular noise (it can also still function as a cheesy 1988 pop synth if required).
Sounds from ethereal to sublime, and can disturb as easily as they entrance.

Beats are coming from the Monotribe, which is synced to the Amstrad via it's Step-Sequencer / Arpeggiator clock.

It's not been easy, but the parts list is now down to less than $70 :)
The machine is powered by a 9volt DC adapter.

Part 2 - Coming Soon..."
