"I was going for sort of an industrial/ambient soundscape that was both meditative, yet slightly unnerving, in this rough experiment with the Mutable Instruments Elements (played via the Make Noise Pressure Points and modulated by the Make Noise Richter Wogglebug) and the Kilpatrick Audio Phenol.

"This video demonstrates the NEA Polyphonic Aftertouch Upgrade for Rhodes Chroma. In this video, the Chroma is transmitting polyphonic aftertouch messages via MIDI to control the sounds on the Kurzweil Forte, which also supports polyphonic aftertouch. All of the sounds heard in this video are from the Forte. The arpeggiated background synthesizer was created using the Forte's new step sequencer arpeggiator function. The pad is a VAST model of a CS-80 style synth voice, where the poly AT is routed to volume and filter swells. Each note can be modulated by poly AT independently of the others. It's a lot of fun to play."
"This is a simple way to turn a timer into a Saw LFO for those who want to shave away every bit of CPU time they can (the Phasor LFO uses fractionally more CPU time). Unlike the Phasor LFO, however, you can see that it doesn't act predictably when you change the speed, and the speed control is not independent from the amplitude.
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.
