Groovebox MIDI Reactive VJ - HTML Video Synth Test


video upload by space fever

via Space Fever:

"I would like to submit a small independent synth-related visual tool I made.

It is a MIDI-reactive VJ / HTML video synth designed for grooveboxes and hardware setups. It runs in a browser and reacts to incoming MIDI CC / clock data, making it useful for live electronic music, acid techno, groovebox jams, and hardware-only performances.

Product page: https://spacefever.booth.pm/items/8528673

The concept is to keep the setup simple: a groovebox or MIDI controller sends MIDI data, and the browser-based visual synth generates reactive glitch/noise-style visuals without needing a full VJ software environment.

It may be of interest to readers who use grooveboxes, MIDI hardware, DIY performance tools, or browser-based visual instruments."

M5Stack Acid Generator in there as well.

YouTube video description:

"自作のMIDIリアクティブVJ HTMLツール「Groovebox MIDI Reactive VJ」のテスト動画です。
https://spacefever.booth.pm/items/8528673

グルーヴボックスやMIDI機材から送られるMIDI Note / CC / MIDI Clock / Program Changeに反応して、ブラウザ上で低解像度ビデオシンセ風の映像を生成します。

音声入力ではなく、MIDI信号で映像が変化します。
Fullscreen表示にすると、UIなしで映像だけを出力できます。

対応プリセット:
Novation Circuit Tracks
KORG SQ-1
Roland AIRA MC-101
Roland AIRA MC-707
Roland AIRA T-8
Ableton Move
Artiphon Orba 2

Chrome / Edgeなど、Web MIDI対応ブラウザで動作します。

This is a test video of my DIY MIDI reactive VJ HTML tool, “Groovebox MIDI Reactive VJ”.

It runs in a browser and generates low-resolution video-synth style visuals reacting to MIDI Note, CC, MIDI Clock, and Program Change from grooveboxes and MIDI devices.

No audio input is used.
The visuals are driven directly by MIDI signals.
In fullscreen mode, it outputs only the visuals with no UI.

Supported presets:
Novation Circuit Tracks
KORG SQ-1
Roland AIRA MC-101
Roland AIRA MC-707
Roland AIRA T-8
Ableton Move
Artiphon Orba 2

Works in Web MIDI compatible browsers such as Chrome / Edge."

Wheel Within the Wheel EP by Michael William Gilbert






A new release via supporting member Michael William Gilbert via Tall Dog Electronics (tindie)

Hello friends,

I am very happy to share this new project with you: an EP of original electronic/electroacoustic fusion music. There are six tracks, including the single "The Prayer Is The Road"(a)/"The Road Is The Prayer"(b). To be clear - prayer in my context is secular: "a practice focusing on gratitude, mindfulness, and reflection to foster positive change, connection, or resilience without appealing to a supernatural being".

"Wheel Within the Wheel", the title track, is influenced by a visit to Tibetan Buddhist monks while they werein the process of creating a sand painting and then destroying it. "Fractal Loup" is about a state of active and curious meditation, a metaphorical wolf mind interpreted with looping. "The Float" is a dream through the worlds of techno and Berlin school. All music recorded & mixed at Alibi’s Little Corner Studio by MWGilbert and mastered by Sean Magee.

Upcoming: thanks to my partners at ElasticStage, "Wheel Within the Wheel" will soon be available as both an LP and a CD! You can check out my previous album "Electronic Music": https://elasticstage.com/mwgilbert

Hope you enjoy "Wheel Within the Wheel". I'm always pleased and grateful to hear what you think, so please let me know!


Thanks for listening!

GS-e7 analog poly synth + BlueARP, EDM demo, no talking


video upload by graywolf2004ru

"A few months ago I got GS-e7 synth (7-voice analog poly) and finally managed to give it some good demo with BlueARP.
Playing various BlueARP-driven patterns, starting from barebone mono pattern to rich polyphonic pattern.
All sounds recorded directly from GS-e7, no other FX except its onboard delay (chorus was not used)."

E-mu Emulator III - Service Training Video


video upload by MuStudio

"Here is a video that was shared with me by Kevin Monahan and his wife (she was the one who recorded and edited it at the time).

The main narrator is Tim Swartz, who headed the maintenance department at E-mu Systems.
Hello and welcome to this E-mu Systems Emulator III maintenance video.
To help you better understand and maintain the Emulator III, we have created this maintenance video.
It includes an overview of the EIII, covering both the standalone EIII and its system integration.
We will discuss disassembly procedures, technical modification orders, calibration, and basic troubleshooting."

DS8 v0.3 Update! New: Sampler Slicing, Resampling, Step FX, Presets and more.


video upload by Intermynd Instruments

"DS-8 v0.3 Release Notes

Sampler (SP track) — Record from mic/line input or resample the engine output back into a sampler track. Waveform editor with trim/crop, slice editor with transient detection and grid mode, per-slice ADSR and reverse, tone controls (bass/mid/treble boost and low-pass/high-pass filter), one-shot mode.

4 new percussion engines — Tom 808, Tom 909, Zap, FM Hi-Hat.

Step FX — Per-step play conditions (every 1st/2nd/3rd/4th pass), ratchets with flat/fade/rise velocity shapes, and microtiming nudge (±6 ticks).

Preset browser — Save/load/preview/rename/delete presets (.ds8s format). Preview voice lets you audition without changing the track.

Resample recording — Bounce sequenced patterns into audio. Beat-sync arm on the downbeat, feedback prevention by excluding the armed track from the capture.

Rec monitor — Hear the mic through the main output while recording.

Track mute fades — Smooth fade-out when muting instead of abrupt cuts.

New and improved keyboard interface for saving Projects and Presets.

=====

DS8 Drumstream is still in active development. This is v0.2, so expect bugs, rough edges, and frequent changes.
