"What's New in Version 2.0.0
● iPad support: Now goes universal app with support for iPhone and iPad
● Audio Export: SoundCloud, AudioCopy, Dropbox and iTunes File Sharing support
● PLUS mode that brings massive expansion (In-app purchase): double the number of synthesizers (from 2 to 4) and Voice Synths (from 1 to 2). Also, sound edit during song playback and a 12 track sequencer give you higher levels of music creation and performance
● Other minor bug fixes and improvements"
"Venetian Snares - Traditional Synthesizer Music -February 19, 2016
Hello! Here we have a live recording of Can't Vote For Yourself! This is another alternate take available only on the Traditional Synthesizer Music pre order bonus CD :)
This week I built two very exciting modules: an Arduino-based digital oscillator with MIDI input (!!!) and a PT2399-based digital delay circuit. Still working out some kinks on the Arduino oscillator, but for now it has 3 programs, each with a crossfade between different waves. Program, frequency, and wave shape (crossfade) are all voltage-controllable. In addition, the Arduino spits out gate voltages when it receives MIDI note on messages, which I can then use to trigger envelopes, sequencers, etc.
This particular patch is a MIDI sequencer generated by Qmidiarp on linux whose root is determined by the little MIDI over USB keyboard, then sent via MIDI cable to my Arduino oscillator. The output of that goes into an amp (the Arduino is pretty quiet) and then into a VCA whose attenuation is being modulated by the gate voltages. Then into a mixer along with some delay. A triangle LFO is also modulating the frequency of the oscillator (when it's in "free" mode) and a slope generator triggered by the gate voltages is modulating the wave shape (sine to saw, tri to saw, and sine to wave-folded sine)"
FYI, I created a new Chris Beckstrom label for these moving forward. You'll find three previous posts there. A search on Chris Beckstrom will bring them up as well, along with two Bitwig videos. Lots of "New" labels for this post.
Iron Ether - Pithoprakta on trigger duties
Neutron Sound - Orgone Accumulator on percussion and bassline duties
Folktek - Matter on percussion duties
Livewire - Audio Frequency Generator on plinky plonky duties
Mutable Instruments - Elements on thrummy guitar type thing duties
"KORG Gadget offers a collection of more than 20 different synthesizers and drum machines called "Gadgets ". These gadgets were designed to assist the user to produce powerful electronic music. The latest version features universal support not only for the iPad, but also for the iPad Pro and the iPhone. The painstaking attention that Korg has given its hardware instruments for more than fifty years has now taken shape as cutting-edge software in the KORG Gadget. It's the ultimate all-in-one music production studio app."
