The audiowerkstatt mini-midi-step-seq

From the makers of the midi-restarter & midi-clock-divider, we have a new mini desktop hardware sequencer. Details via audiowerkstatt.de:

"The audiowerkstatt mini-midi-step-seq is a MIDI-sequencer (no gate/CV), which is based on a classic analog step-sequencer:

Programming with potentiometers (no endless-dial and no detent)!
Only one track!
No pattern-storage!
No internal clock (only usable as MIDI-slave)!
No display!

It is optimized for live use, especially jam-sessions, but can also be used to give you new ideas, if you are stuck in your main sequencer.

All settings can be changed while it's running.
2x 8-step-pattern, that can be used alternatively or chained to a 16-step-pattern.
Normally the pattern changes, when the one that is played ends. With a special "jump"-button it is possible to jump from one pattern to the other immediately without loosing synchronization.
It is possible to edit the pattern that is playing or edit the other pattern.

Published on Mar 24, 2016 humbletune

iTunes: shapesynth - Erik Sigth

"Testing the new shape synth. I have tried to stay true to what shapesynth is and improved on most things. It has two oscillators now instead of one with proper adsr, two low frequency oscillators with adsr, it has stereo delay, presets, better accelerometer control and completely new ui layout."

What's New in Version 4.0
+++ Completely NEW user interface.
+++ Adding Ableton Link support.
+++ Adding a second oscillator.
+++ Adding oscillator mixing modes (add, sub, mul).
+++ Adding full ADSR for HFO and LFO.
+++ Adding direction setting for second half of waveform.
+++ Adding a third LFO mode, duty cycle.
+++ Adding tempo sync option.
+++ Adding ability to preset the tape loop length.
+++ Adding stereo channel to delay.
+++ Adding filter type setting (low, band and high pass).
+++ Adding option of more controls to accelerometer data.
+++ Adding tape sync option to sequencer.
+++ Adding euclidean rhythm to sequencer.
+++ Adding a few synth presets.
+++ Changing midi cc structure.
+++ Adding in app help.

BURG - Album Movement 11 (Roland TR-8, Microbrute, KORG volca, Strymon Timeline)

Published on Mar 24, 2016 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff, please support me on http://music.ollilab.com

Going minimal, here is another track.. a bit funkier with 909 drums. This one is just, well.. polyrythmic deluxe... you just need to float into this one and let yourself go, dont go look for the 4/4 beat.. its not there.

Adding kaoss pad loops on the top that are ambient and broken/glitchy, building up the eerie feel i wanted to create.. almost like in a nightmare, the mayhem never stops.

Small setup as in movement 10, this time with the microbrute playing the main sequence, using the SQ-1 as an extra mayhem on the filter CV halfway through. The keys and microbrute both go through the strymon.. then to the TR8 and out through the Kaoss pad.

Enjoy, let me know what you think !"

Breakdown of video:
00:02 Drumstick starts playhead, which triggers an LFO that controls a servo using the Arduino device
00:07 Another servo with a pen attached to it is being controlled by parameter changes in a clip
00:11 The golf ball is mapped to the XY pad of the Camera device, which controls the frequency of a filter
00:13 The pendulum swings between a light sensor and a light source, this motion modulates an EQ8
00:22 LFOs in Live are controlling graphics in Processing using OSC
00:25 Input from Leap Motion controls Live using OSC
00:30 The golf ball triggers a MIDI note
00:34 The JSON Video device loops a video snippet, creating a new beat
00:38 Automation in Live controls the motors of the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 device
00:50 The robot uses a crocodile clip to close a circuit when touching the banana
00:53 A pressure sensitive pad from littleBits™ is triggered by a hammer, causing the music to stop"
