"ARPIE is a MIDI Arpeggiator. Typically you connect it between a MIDI keyboard controller and a synthesizer and it converts the chords you play on the keyboard into rapid runs of notes (arpeggios) which are played on the synth. However as you’ll see there is a lot more to it than that: ARPIE - and arpeggiators in general - are great composing and performance tools. ARPIE is an open-source project, based on the popular Arduino platform and is designed to be customisable, hackable and extendable."
Mary Frances of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band lays down some serious funk with the Moog Liberation being raffled in the Bob Moog Foundation Liberation Raffle.
Help support the Bob Moog Foundation by entering this raffle! If by chance you don't win, your money will go to helping the Foundation educate kids with Dr. Bob's SoundSchool: an innovative, experiential 10-week curriculum that teaches second-grade students the physics of sound."
"Puck is a Max MIDI Device that allows you to use one note to output multiple notes that are currently held. The basic idea behind the device is to be able to play chords using one note.
"Puck is a Max MIDI Device that allows you to use one note to output multiple notes that are currently held. The basic idea behind the device is to be able to play chords using one note. The device uses the [mxj] object so you will need Java installed for it to work.
The first parameter is the Trigger Note. This allows you to select the note that is used to trigger currently held notes. By default this is set to C-1. This is quite a low note that you're unlikely to use when playing or creating chords. The 'P' square will be highlighted green when the trigger note is being held.
The second parameter Velocity Percent, allows you to specify how much the Trigger Note's velocity will affect the output notes. When set to 0, Puck outputs the velocities of the held notes, and at 100% the notes will be scaled to a range of 0 - 1.5 times the original notes velocity.
There's also a small green button in the bottom right hand corner which will send a send note off messages for any stuck notes. Here's a little demo of the device, note that Puck will only trigger notes that are currently being played. You can see this demoed at around 1:20 [above]
"Great little classic Yamaha CS01 monophonic synth, in great condition for it's age... All the keys and functions work ok. The modulation wheel is slightly tilted to one side, but still works absolutely fine. Cosmetically It could do with a clean, and there are some nics and scratches. The battery cover is missing and one rubber foot is also missing."
