Mutable Instruments Clouds - First Rough Test

Published on Feb 24, 2016 Genshi Media Group

"5 Minutes after unboxing, I did this rough test of the Mutable Instruments Clouds module. Still need to learn what all it can do, but so far I'm liking the "Instant Ambient" processing you can achieve with it. Now I'm just waiting for the MI Rings to arrive, and my little Make/Mutable Ambient Performance System will be complete (and then of course, I'll want to expand to another 3 rows of modules!) UPDATE: Shortly after doing this video, I updated Clouds with Parasite Firmware version 1.41. Here is a short video on Instagram of the results - https://instagram.com/p/BCMLm1DvMBQ/"

An Interview with Barry Schrader - Question 6A: "Trinity" Composed on a CalArts Buchla 200 System

6. How did technology over the years impact your music and creative process? Can you walk us through your albums and what the general process was like for each?

You'll find Barry's answer here. You do not want to miss this. Not only will you hear one of CalArts Buchla 200 systems in 1976, but you'll get some insight into the thought process behind the piece "Trinity".

"In exploring my compositions, I think it’s best to take a few works and deal with them one at a time. The first one I’ll consider is Trinity composed in 1976 using one of CalArts Buchla 200 systems. Beginning with Trinity, all of my pieces done using the Buchla 200 used the same basic patch" [pictured left]

I'd include the specs here but apparently gieskes uses gifs for each letter on his descriptions. Really.

"/// Introductory price for a limited time only, 50% off! ///

AUM is the flexible audio mixer, recorder, and connection hub for your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Connect hardware inputs and outputs, Audio Unit extensions, Inter-App Audio apps, Audiobus, soundfile players, built-in signal processing and filters, in any configuration you want.

Route anything to anywhere with mix-busses, effect sends, audiobus ports, and external multi-channel audio interfaces.

Play hosted synths and instruments using the built-in keyboard or external MIDI controllers, or sequence them from other apps using Virtual MIDI.

Record mixes, individual tracks, or both, straight into the storage space of AudioShare (no copying of files needed).

Play back recordings, soundfiles and loops as channel sources in the mixer for backing tracks, further processing or mixing.

Route MIDI in any way you like using the MIDI matrix.

Synchronize everything with the sample-accurate transport clock and play in time with other apps or devices using Ableton Link, a new technology that synchronizes beat, phase and tempo of Ableton Live and Link-enabled iOS apps over a wireless network.

Includes built-in processing nodes for various stereo processing, Mid/Side balance and conversion, EQs and filters, limiting, clipping and saturation. Or use any 3rd party Audio Unit extension or Inter-App Audio effect.

All controls in the mixer can be controlled via MIDI, including parameters of hosted and built-in plugins.

Hordijk Buchla Live Concrete

"'…the application of these techniques will in general be aimed at creating fun.' -- Rob Hordijk.

This is a brief experiment using a Buchla 216r pressure CV output to control some parameters of the Hordijk system, along with copious knob twiddling. I’m trying for the dramatic variety of timbre, shape, panning and dynamics found in the musique concrete pieces of the 1950s and 1960s."

ARP Odyssey (Korg), FunkBox Drum Machine iPad app and MIDIpal demo by Jordan Passmore

Published on Feb 24, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"This demo is of the ARP Odyssey (Kore reissue), FunkBox Drum Machine iPad app (Using the Yamaha RX11 sample set) and the Mutable Instruments MIDIpal.

The FunkBox drum machine app on the iPad Air 2 is the master clock and the iPad is connected to an iConnectMIDI2 MIDI interface. The iConnectMIDI2's MIDI out is connected to the Mutable Instruments MIDIpal which is running a sequencer app which is sequencing the ARP Odyssey via MIDI. The audio of the iPad and the ARP is running into my audio interface (Roland SuperUA) and summed inside of Ableton Live.

I am playing the keyboard while the sequencer is running to take advantage of the duophonic nature of the ARP; when I do this, one oscillator is following the sequence while the other is responding to the CV of the keyboard. When I stop playing the keyboard, both oscillators continue to follow the sequence."
