Altair Sequencer Project - How I did it - #00 hello world

How I did it - #00 hello world from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"The altair says hello to Max!

The idea is simple: to make music with the Altair 8800
The first commercial Personal Computer made in 1975.
In the following episodes I will
• Interface the Altair with MaxMSP via serial port
- programming a drum machine in assembly
- program a generative orchestra in assembly and or MBASIC
- Explore OSC routing to other software (Processing), upd comms.
• Interface the Altair with an analog synthesizer: a Buchla Music Easel by using arduino and a breadboard.
The quest for controlling Max will be the first step, later I will dedicate the project to analog synths.
I'm going to post every episode here and on my website (giorgiosancristoforo.net)
I will explain every single byte and strategy of programming and share the Max patches for Windows and Mac OS.
so that 8080 enthusiasts could replicate the whole process.
It will be also a nice opportunity for electronic musicians to understand simple and fun microprocessors' programming techniques.
Any help, comments and critics from retrocomputing and assembly lovers, is more than welcome.

"New K-010 mini cv keyboard in action. Right next to it is K-011 keyboard expander. It has a trigger / gate input for every per key, meaning you can remote control the K-010 keyboard. In this demo I trigger it via S-030 4 Channel Clockworks clock divider, Doepfer A-155 step sequencer and Doepfer A-149-2 digital random gates.
Audio is Doepfer A-110-2 baisc VCO through STG Soundlabs Sea Devils filter and Synthrotek Echo."

Marcio McFly (51beats) - set techno 2015

Published on Feb 18, 2015 51BEATSlabel

Tiptop Audio drum modules, Acidlab Autobot pattern sequencer, Roland TR-606.

"Marcio McFly is an eclectic artist with interests ranging from analogue synthesizers for producing dancefloor-oriented techno acts, to guitar-based country music. Following the first machine-oriented experience withSpectacular Synthesizer, in 2009 Marcio founded "I CANI", later on "CANI GIGANTI", the well-acclaimed live-analog synthesizer project that rocked the dancefloors until 2013 with a real live-techno experience. The Marcio McFly "solo project" is really versatile, with music crossing different genres, and this lead to theNomination in the "Discovery" category at the QWARTZ New Electronic Music Awards (edition #6, Paris), with "Farsi le Foto", a masterpiece album also available in a super-ltd CD edition with unpublished rmxs. Marcio makes an intelligent use of his analogical synthesizers and drummachines, being a never-exhausted experimentalist of complex patterns, structures, and sounds. Marcio's recent focus has been directed in building-up a brand new techno-oriented live experience with modular synths and drum machines."
