"An attempt at Douglas Leedy's 'Entropical Paradise' patch from the Allen Strange book. 'Electronic Music Systems'."

Just waited in line for the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland after NAMM. This should have been playing in the background.

John L Rice Coming to Noisebug on Tuesday January 26

John L Rice is going to do a synth demo and "life" meeting at Noisebug this Tuesday post NAMM. Experience his wisdom!

You should all be familiar with John's work through his numerous videos here on MATRIXSYNTH, and please welcome, Noisebug back as a site sponsor!

And... I am finally off to NAMM! Enjoy John's mug for the day! :) And of course catch up on posts! There are a total of 182 NAMM posts so far this year! As for total posts, Thursday we had 71 posts, and yesterday, Friday, we had 86! I think there is plenty to keep you busy for a while. :)

Tableau Generative Album

Tableau Generative Album from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"'There is no doubt that, as music is removed by the phonographrecord from the realm of live production and from the imperative of artistic activity and becomes petrified, it absorbs into itself, in this process of petrification, the very life that would otherwise vanish.'

Theodore Adorno 'The form of the Phonograph Record'

Tableau is my first portable Generative Album and it will be soon released.

Tableau will be available in two options:

1) Limited edition of 50 Generative Players + Gleetchlab software

2) CD + Gleetchlab software

Please note: Gleetchlab as usual runs only on Apple Macs and it’s not intended for the Generative Album.

Generative endless music player

Tableau plays on a standalone generative player, it is a portable sound installation.

The music, instead of being 'reproduced' like a CD, a Vinyl or an Mp3, it is generated and arranged while you are listening to it. It never sounds the same. Tableau creates an almost endless number of mixes of the LP. Each time you will listen, it will be different, and will keep evolving evolving until you will plug the power off.

It reacts to the environment.

The music of Tableau reacts to temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, space and magnetic field.

No need for screen, keyboards, mouse etc…

To listen to Tableau just plug the power supply and your speakers with a mini-jack cable, Tableau will boot and create music in realtime.

You may also use a standard 2A, 5V battery pack for mobile phones so you can carry Tableau with you anytime, anywhere.

New albums will just require only a new micro SD card

A Generative Album owner will order the micro SD to get the new album/installation.

Updates with new features will be also available and for free.

Check the website for the release date of the 50 limited edition players.

Audulus 2 Minute Tip - 8: How to Make a Muxing Sequencer

Published on Jan 23, 2016 Bimini Road

Audulus for iOS | Audulus for Mac

"You don't just need a Sequencer node to make a sequencer. I actually prefer to make them this way - it's very easy to apply an LFO and change the directionality.

To use this sequencer to control an oscillator (instead of, say, a parameter of an effect), just send it through a Quantizer module.

...And why do I multiply it by 7.99 and not 8? Well, x8 wraps around back to 1, since the value range of 0-.999... is the first step, and 7-7.999... is the value range of the last step. If you set the max to just 7, it would only reach the final step for the duration of 1 sample.

The 2 Minute Tip series breaks apart topics on Audulus into bite-sized chunks. I don't talk during the tutorials (though there are a few notes that pop up), and this is so that international viewers who don't understand English well don't feel left out. Familiarize yourself with the node menu and my navigation won't be so mystifying. In the future, we'll develop a finger press indicator so you can see where I'm tapping.

First Test

First Test from Andras Eichstaedt on Vimeo.

"In this experiment was trying to build a patch around a single trigger signal. The idea is to detect tactile interactions with the modular

and use it to drive the tempo of the patch. im looking forward to try this with more different triggers and with also measuring the change

in electrical resistance depending on the size of area being touched. It was a lot of fun to work with Nora Staggl, we didn't rehearse, in fact the whole thing was done in about an hour."

We can now play Twister with modulars.

"Just a quick demo of some of the sounds from this module. 9 audio rate chaotic signals mixed to form 'neuron clusters' The idea is low frequency patterns will emerge from the mayhem."
