Korg Volca Drum + LightpadBlock + iPad Jam

video by Perplex On

"Little proof of concept jam using the #volcadrum​ in combination with the iPad and a #lightpadblock​. The Volca is sequenced by #poly2​ while #mozaic​ is sending midi program changes to switch between different drum kits on the Volca. Besides various midi cc s&h lfo‘s are modulating the waveguide model decay, tune and body. The #lightpadblock​ is loaded with pentagome patch sequencing Autumn piano loaded into Decent Sampler."

Polaxis Mea MIDI

Playlist:

1. Mea MIDI

Mea vox now behaves as an external MIDI instrument :
- MIDI note assigned to 39 phonemes.
- Velocity and Pitch bend supported.
- Can hold the note for singing effect.

I renamed the notes with Ableton Live MIDI Effects rack to help in sequencing phonemes by their sound. It is very easy to build a sequence!

2. Mea numbers

Emy with Mea-vox addon board. Testing the new version of the code with number grouped (0-1,0-9,0-20) Emy's Usb port is connected to a computer to render the video. (driven by the speech) inspired by Alva Noto & Anne-James Chaton

3. MEA now with phoneme groups (video done with Processing)

Emy hosting the vintage MEA8000 french speech synthesizer chip.
New Phoneme groups (Voyelles/Consonnes/Syllables/Tous)
Playing with phonemes, inspired by Alva Noto & Anne-James Chaton
Emy’s serial port connected to Processing to display the phonemes in sync.

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #110​: Casio HT-3000 - Song 1

video by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first song with the HT-3000. It's a 8-voice synthesizer based on 'Spectrum Dynamic' SD Synthesis and has a single real analog 4-pole voltage-controlled filter. My HT-3000 has the legoluft filter mod (http://legoluft.de/tech/bending/e-cas...​), so that the frequency and resonance can be control in real-time via two separate knobs (on the left side above the pitch bend wheel).

I used for the recording the following FX chain: HT-3000 - Digitech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

VOLTLIFE: performance controls and generative effects with Squarp Hermod

video by voltlife

"An annotated jam showing some ways to use Hermod’s MIDI effects, CV inputs and mute buttons to turn a very short sequence into a performable environment for live exploration. There’s also some self-patching and internal modulation that’s not shown here."

Korg opsix - Changing algorithms

video by Korg

"Switching algorithms on the opsix can transform your sounds from delicate pads to hard-hitting percussive stabs, without adjusting another single parameter. This eliminates the need for endless menu diving or hours of programming."

K-teck KANDI DEMO

Baghead · KANDI DEMO

"K-teck's Kandi circular sequencer, a Euclidean rhythm and melody fun house. This track is sequencing a Make-Noise 0-Coast thru an Instruo Athru wave folder and then to an H9 Eventide Resonator . Percussion is another instance of KANDI but in percussion mode sequencing Sonic Charge's Microtonic drum synth.

K-teck makes some really nice MAX4LIVE tools, this one, KANDI was especially interesting as the interface was intriguing. Circular, not linear. It also allows locking in 4 notes so you can get percussion drum sounds

The track used 2 instances, 1 for melody, 1 for drums , enjoy"
