Volca FM, Machinedrum, Electribe Sampler, Tribal House Live jam

Published on Jun 14, 2016 Shimanski Beats

"Finally received the Volca FM, and after a while of playing around I came up with an edgy FM sequence that I combined with a tribal house beat on the Machinedrum made the other day, and then programmed the other elements on the Electribe Sampler. Everything DAWless, i.e. it's a live hardware performance recorded in one go. unfortuantely, the camera position is not the best, so sometimes my arms block the vision.

Instruments used:
Volca FM (edgy FM sequence; internal sequencer)
Elektron Machinedrum (beat; internal sequencer)
DSI Mopho (lead sequence)
Yamaha TX81z (FM slap bass + mallet lead sequence)
MAM MB33 Retro (analog bass)
Electribe Sampler (sequencer for the other gear)
External FX used: Lexicon MX200, TC Electronic M one XL, TC Electronic M350, DBX 166XL

"Exposer la musique électronique pourrait paraître en soi paradoxal : la musique s’écoute, se vit, se danse, s’expérimente, se ressent. Elle ne s’observe pas ! Et pourtant, découvrir son histoire, sa culture, c’est en réalité la décrypter et la comprendre. Quelles en sont les références, les codes et les outils ? Quelles seront, demain, ses nouvelles formes d’expression ? ≥≥ Exposition présentée du 25 mai au 2 octobre 2016 ≥ Espace Fondation EDF - 6, rue Récamier 75007 Paris ≥ Tous les jours du mardi au dimanche de 12h à 19h (sauf jours fériés) ≥ Entrée libre."

The Dato DUO is Fully Funded!

Published on Jun 14, 2016 Dato Musical Instruments

"We made it! We reached 100% our Kickstarter funding goal to bring the Dato DUO in production with a little under 2 weeks to go.

Dato DUO is an innovative synth for two by Dutch designers David and Toon. It is aimed at musicians and non-musicians of any age. It has two faces: a synthesizer side and a synth side. Two players collaborate in making music facing each other. The controls and functions have been designed so that the instrument is easily usable by non-musicians, too. For the more serious musician, the Dato DUO is equipped with sync in and outputs and MIDI IN/OUT.

Dato has been visiting artists and letting them jam on the DUO prototype. Chris from Dutch producer duo Killing Skills says: “Constraints are actually really cool. They make you creative”. Videos will be posted on the Dato Music YouTube channel as they appear (http://dato.mu/yt).

The Dato DUO was selected Kickstarter project of the day on June 8th. We reached our funding goal of € 60000 (~$68000) in 15 days. The Kickstarter campaign will run until June 26th 23:00 CEST."

New iConnectivity mio™ Advanced MIDI Interfaces

via iConnectivity

"Give your MIDI a big upgrade!

New line of ultra-versatile MIDI problem solvers offering support for 0 to 2 computers simultaneously, plus built-in MIDI merging, filtering, remapping, and routing

The mio™ Advanced MIDI interfaces are here! It’s a new line of MIDI problem-solvers from iConnectivity. Just plug in to connect and collaborate, in the studio or on stage. These are reinvented MIDI interfaces that work standalone or with up to six Macs/PCs at the same time.

They all feature built-in MIDI merging, filtering, remapping, and routing functions so you don’t need extra hardware units. mio10 has 10x10 5-pin MIDI, the mio4 has 4x4, and both support everything: USB MIDI, Ethernet MIDI, and more.

The affordable mio2 (2x2 5-pin MIDI) supports two Macs/PCs at the same time.

iConnectivity now has a comprehensive line of innovative MIDI and audio interfaces to handle modern setups of all sizes.

The mio™ line handles everything from essential up to extreme MIDI setups, in the studio and on stage. They're all USB MIDI Class-Compliant, so they plug-'n-play - no drivers become outdated, and other musicians only have to plug in to collaborate.

Famed musician/sound designer/MIDI wizard Richard Devine has been working with a pre-production unit: "iConnectivity's new mio10 is the dream MIDI system I've been waiting for! Its routing system is very flexible, and it's a breeze to use. Absolute class all the way. The Rolls Royce of MIDI interfaces!"
