IO-Lights Demo

instruments of things

"IO-Lights is really easy to use. Just plug it to your computer or smartphone via USB and start playing MIDI notes. For control change message, switch to MIDI-CC mode and map some parameters. You want to connect IO-Lights to your hardware synthesizer? Then simply use an additional USB MIDI host (e.g. your computer). Have fun!"

Endorphin.es Spaceship | Episode 04 | Configuring Shuttle Control

Cinematic Laboratory

"One of the most powerful modules in the Shuttle System is the Shuttle Control. It converts midi and external controller information to CV. It supports separate mono voices, but it can also be configured to controlling a maximum of eight polyphonic voices. Since most of us have eight oscillators in our rig I've created a configuration file where preset 7 & 8 support duophony (for the Furthrrr Generator or your DPO) and a three voice polyphony setting for a bigger system. I can basically run all my cases and modules with these presets."
