8BIT GUITAR - PULSEWIDTH SEQUENCING

YouTube via 4NIM4L57YL3 | June 28, 2010

Thanks to Vblank and Batsly Adams for their help. Vblank gave me some programming lessons and Batsly helped me choose the correct components to use.

Thanks to Bucky from for being my camera man on this one.

Thanks to Part Time (my cat) for trying to get into every video i post. ...gives me chiptune street cred yo.

This a CV sequencer i built (with an arduino microcontroller). It Sequences the pulse width of my guitar. I got the idea from tracking (composing) in famitracker, LSDJ and Goattracker. When you compose for the NES or the Gameboy, there are tons of effects you can choose from to make square waves more complex and interesting sounding. So, once i saw that the Pulsemonger pedal had a CV input for the pulsewidth i had to buy it. There are a couple reasons i built this with an arduino: I wanted to make it expandable. In the future, I may add some tap tempo functionality or i thought maybe it might be fun to actually hook the sequencer up to my Gameboy (through the linker port) so the sequencing would happen in relation to the tempo of the song i'm playing."

"i took this to remember where everything went as i disassembled it to repair a broken VCO modulation slider. but everything is packed in there VERY tightly and soon after this, i chickened out and paid a tech to fix it instead. oh well... works great now!"

Sequential Circuits 'Drumtraks' Drum Machine from the year 1984

The SCI Drumtraks is a very easy to use 8-bit sample-based drum machine from the early eighties with a very powerfull sound. 13 drum sounds with programmable tuning and level control. The Drumtraks can also send DIN sync and clock.

This demo video shows the instruments, pattern record and and some pattern of the Drumtraks." I used no external effects, EQ or compression. Only the pure Drumtraks sound."

Plugiator Demo 2- Prodyssey and B4000

YouTube via kennykeyboard | June 30, 2010

"The virtual analog synthesizer is largely preset in live use but quite programmable with the computer thanks to familiar GUI. I just play sounds from the ARP Odyssey model and a smaller riff from the tonewheel organ model. My cat sits on the patio table listening, purring, and sometimes getting in the way."

Tek Kit HD Step Sequencer DJ Mixer for the iPad, DJ Set Part One

YouTube via iPadTekKit | July 01, 2010

"We are about to do a massive update to Tek Kit. We have added a heap of new features including: full step sequencing capabilities, more effects, custom user samples, a swing function and master tube distortion. (just to mention a few) There are still a few loose ends to tidy up, and a bit of user interface work to be done but the end product is a fully fledged electronic music production and performance tool. This video is a sneak peak before the final release occurs, and is just a mess around session just to show off some of the features, and uses a couple of tracks composed by Proxycon (one of our fantastic contributors) as well as a few fill in beats made by the Tek Kit team.

Long Live The Beat!"

Long Live The Beat!"

Reason Micro Tutorial - Live Sampling 101

YouTube via PropellerheadSW | June 30, 2010

"If it was good for Trevor Horn, The Beastie Boys, and pretty much every pioneering producer in the last 30 years... then it's good for us too. Live Sampling is back in Reason 5 and Record 1.5. But before you start pitching your burp noises up 3 octaves we thought we'd teach you the basics of the process."
