DreamsOfWires - Arturia Keystep & iSem (iPad)

Published on Aug 1, 2016 DreamsOfWires

"I've just taken delivery of an Arturia Keystep, which I bought to replace a Beatstep and a Qunexus, which I recently sold. This is a simple composition using the polyphonic step sequencer with the keyboard in 'Play' mode, so that notes can be played over the sequenced chords. It was recorded entirely on the iPad using iSem, Altispace reverb and Audioshare.

The footage is from a trip to Duxford Imperial War Museum last week, apart from the planes landing at the end, which was from a visit there last year."

Ambient 16072016 Part III // TimedSliding

Published on Aug 1, 2016 Computing.Sound

"Ambient in a weird kind of retro sci-fi sense..

Created with a Korg Monotribe processed by a Zoom Multistomp MS-70CDR guitar multi-fx pedal, using the Church reverb.
Recorded using a Zoom H5 recorder and a Samsung S6.

If you want to listen to the .wav-file you can download it from Bandcamp.

Sounds a bit like Forbidden Planet. Musique concrete with a Monotribe.

World's First HP Scanjet 4C Keytar + Instructions on How to Build a Musical Stepper Motor in 60 sec

Published on Jul 31, 2016 bd59

"You may of heard of a popular flat bed scanner by the name of HP Scanjet. This scanner had a hidden command set within the Scanner Control Language which allows you to send musical notes directly to the stepper motor. This is a tedious method where you have to enter the notes and durations manually into a text file (similar to G-Code on a CNC Machine). I have always used and will always use this method for my Old School music videos however I wanted to try and build a MIDI controlled stepper motor. One day I had one of my HP Scanjets sitting on its side and for some reason it resembled a Roland SH-101 and that's when I came up with the idea for the HP Scanjet Keytar. What a great way to merge both into a musical instrument. My one of a kind HP Scanjet Keytar consist of an Arduino Nano, Stepper Motor Shield and an optocoupler. Most of my Arduino code was readily available on the Arduino website and is free to download at GitHub. Near the end of my video I will show you how to build a MIDI controlled stepper motor in 40 seconds. I believe that maybe a world record :)

Finally, everything you need to build your own musical MIDI controlled stepper motor. (no electronics background required)
Download the Arduino Code at Github
https://github.com/squirtifier/HP-Sca...
please make sure you place all the files in a directory called HPScanJetMIDI before compiling
Don't for get to install the arduino_midi_library-dev.zip (just search the internet for this file name"

"I like to present you with some of our desktop/rack-mount designs for the DeepMind12 our designers we have come up with. The unit is designed to accommodate for desktop and rack-mount usage.

Just to be clear, we have not yet decided to progress with this design and hence your opinion is important to us.

Thanks for your feedback.
