LinnStrument ThumbJam demo (bus-powered by iPad Air)

Published on Oct 16, 2014 Geert Bevin

"Last night I made a lot of progress adapting the LinnStrument firmware so that it runs off of bus power from my iPad Air. This is a demo with ThumbJam's Bass Bowed sound, played with note-per-channel MIDI, recorded straight into Auria over Inter-App Audio.

The LinnStrument bus-powered mode is still experimental, but there's a good chance it will end up in the next firmware update. Note that this will only work with iOS devices that have lightning connectors, 30-pin connectors don't provide enough power."

"Out of the Woods" - Taylor Swift Cover (Using Only an iPad & Voice) by Chase Holfelder

Published on Oct 16, 2014 Chase Holfelder

"A friend challenged me to cover a song using only free music apps on my iPad. I accepted and decided to tackle Taylor Swift's new song, "Out of the Woods." Every instrument you hear was generated from the iPad (including the processed harmonies/vox) using only free apps from the App Store. Hope you like it!

NoisyLittleBugger Bjorklund lives!

Published on Oct 16, 2014 NoisyLittleBugger

And so it begins. This is how it all starts folks. I created a new NoisyLittleBugger manufacturer/maker channel label for these moving forward. There have been previous posts featuring NoisyLittleBugger but they have been on DIY with the Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 & Anushri, the Surge VSTi, and the Yamaha FS1R. I believe this is the first NoisyLittleBugger design post.

Video description:
"Just another meaningless 20 second video. Sorry.

It shows my breadboarded Euclidean Sequencer working for the first time.

"I’m usually the one to grumble when I come across all those meaningless, grubby 20-second videos on Youtube. But today I’m adding my own. What the hell.

Here is Bjorklund just come to life.

At this moment I have a tight MIDI clock running on the ATMega328 at 24ppqn, with the option to go to a higher resolution if and when I trade-up to a better processor(Teensy 3.1 here I come!).

The 4 encoders and buttons are multiplexed using a single MCP2317, and the LED matrices are driven by 2 MAX7219s (both apparently counterfeit but working perfectly).

What you see are the available tempo divisions from slowest (each quarter note) to fastest (each MIDI tick) flashing across the screen.

I’ve come-up with an elegant way to deal with the note queues, rotation and sending MIDI. I can send notes on 8 tracks, remaining stable to master BPM of >300. All Looking good so far!

All that’s left to do is implement Bjorklund’s algorithm and feed it’s output to the note queue.

Then finally the controls/menu system and that’s it! It’s all optimization from there. It seems the most challenging part is documenting the process, but I’m gathering my notes…"
