[tutorial] Hard Panned Voices (Blofeld)

Published on Nov 22, 2016 Synthesizer Video Service

"This is a little tutorial on how to make hard panned voices with the Waldorf Blofeld. This synth does not have single hardware voices which can be panned easily like in a Oberheim but dynamic software voices. I want to pan each key stroke to (hard) left or (hard) right. This video shows two solutions and the use of the modulation matrix and modifiers."

Moogfest | Dial Tones .: Raleigh

Published on Nov 22, 2016 Moogfest

"About Dial-Tones:
Dial-Tones is a series of Moogfest curated events celebrating the form and frequencies surrounding the art of synthesis, circuitry, drone, and micro tonal compositions. Hunt Library and Moogfest are throwing a free workshop: build + play for NCSU Students on November 4th.

The Workshop:
Part I: MOOG Synth Build & Intro to Sound Synthesis
Teaching & Visualization Lab taught by Chris Howe, Engineer at Moog A Moog engineer will facilitate a synth building workshops, where participants of all skill levels will discover the beauty and power of analog circuitry and the principles of subtractive synthesis. Attendees should be prepared for a hands-on, intensive and fun learning experience.

Part II: Leveraging the Library of the Future for Multimedia Creativity
Taught by NCSU Libraries staff. Following the synth build, attendees will attend one of three workshop tracks that will combine the Moog Werkstatt synthesizers with Hunt Library’s unique technology offerings:

Audio Production:
Taught by Jason Evans Groth in the Music Room studios. Learn basic composition and beatmaking while recording sounds from the Moog synth in the Libraries’ Music Rooms and Media Production Studios.

Visualizing Sound with Code:
Taught by Walt Gurley in the Creativity Studio. Create live, generative visualizations using the Processing coding language and the sound and voltage outputted from the Moog synth.

Electronic Circuits:
Taught by Adam Rogers/Lauren Di Monte/Matthew O’Connell in the Teaching & Visualization Lab. Use the easy-to-learn Arduino platform to extend the Moog synth’s capabilities with additional circuits, sensors, and code.

Artist Performance:
An interactive drone performance by local musicians CALAPSE, Hanz, JIL, Oak City Slums, PlayPlay, and Trandle at the Hunt Library Auditorium. Each musician takes turns incorporating Moog Werkstatts built in the recent NCSU student workshop while the drone sound output generates algorithmic student-created visuals.

After Party:
Following the Dial-Tones workshop and performance at NCSU’s Hunt Library, Curator Oak City Slums and Moogfest hosted a party at Kings Barcade in downtown Raleigh."

Akai Introduces L Series Wireless Bluetooth MIDI Controllers

Published on Nov 22, 2016 AkaiProVideo

"Watch as we go into the wild and create a hypnotic track using our new L Series Wireless Bluetooth MIDI controllers. Featuring Bluetooth MIDI connectivity (OS and iOS only) and iOS compatibility, the LPK25 Wireless keyboard and LPD8 Wireless pad controller are designed for the mobile musician who wants the freedom to create and perform anywhere."

LPK25

"MIDI, liberated

Recognizing the need for a wireless keyboard that doesn't sacrifice functionality or versatility, the new LPK25 Wireless takes portability and feature-rich performance to the next level with its Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, allowing players to control their plug-in instruments from anywhere in the room, providing the ultimate in studio setup flexibility.

Powered by 3 AA batteries for a truly untethered experience, the LPK25 Wireless is optimized for long battery life (at least 12 hours of performance time). No batteries? No problem. The LPK25 Wireless can also be powered with the included USB cable.

Light as a Feather, Heavy on Features
Lightweight and perfect for the laptop musician on the go, LPK25 Wireless is full of expressive sound. At the center of the controller is a solid, 25-note mini-keybed with responsive action that experienced players will truly appreciate. Octave-up and octave-down buttons ensure that players are playing in exactly the note range they want. The powerful Arpeggiator mode turns chords into exciting and complex music phrases. The LPK25 Wireless also comes equipped with a sustain pedal input for additional control over every chord, riff and run.

Another advantage of going wireless: No more accidentally disconnecting the USB connection or tripping over power cables in the middle of a performance.

Music Apps-enhanced
The LPK25 Wireless can also connect to any iOS device. Players can rip the keys on countless available music apps for truly on-the-go performance, while maintaining a truly mobile setup.

Two of a Kind
Paired with Akai Professional's new LPD8 Wireless Bluetooth MIDI pad controller, these two controllers form an outstanding combo of wireless musical portability. The musical possibilities for mobile producers and performers are virtually unlimited.

'The LPK25 Wireless delivers exactly what mobile producers and performers have been waiting for - a great-sounding, versatile, compact keyboard coupled with complete freedom of motion and no cords to get in the way," said Dan Gill, Product Manager for Akai Professional. "This unit sets the player free, while retaining all the performance and feel they demand. The LPK25 Wireless really redefines what portability is all about.'"

LPD8

"Introducing LPD8 Wireless
In creating the LPD8 Wireless pad controller, we addressed the needs of mobile musicians everywhere by bringing Bluetooth MIDI functionality and battery-operated capability to a feature-rich pad controller weighing in at only one pound.

The LPD8's six UI buttons and eight assignable slim-design pots deliver a truly versatile range of performance and control options. The newly added Full Level button guarantees your pad performances are loud, clear and at an equal velocity, when even volume is a must. The LPD8 Wireless also has a Note Repeat button, perfect for the dance music performer who loves creating build-ups before the drop. Artists can use the NR Config button to control and fine tune Swing and Time Division parameters.

Another advantage of going cord-free: No more accidentally disconnecting the USB connection or tripping over power cables in the middle of a performance.

Music Apps-enhanced
The LPD8 Wireless can also connect to any iOS device. Used in tandem with beat making apps such as iMPC Pro, the LPD8 Wireless provides enhanced compositional control and expressive power over any music creation app, while maintaining a truly mobile setup.
