"Crazy Labs"

flickr By Mr. Biggs
"Elliot and I have been learning about electronics lately, since our visit to a workshop in NYC last summer. She's planning on doing something with this knowledge for her upcoming science fair at school, so she's been working to figure out how things go. "Crazy Labs" is the name she's given to our lab, which is also my music room.

This is part of my modular synth."

"[the track] uses one of my favorite production techniques.

I have a Little Phatty with the CV Out Modification. Here I synced its arpeggiator to a master MIDI clock from a Yamaha MO8 (MO8 run through MF-101s on each stereo channel). I connected the Pitch Out CV from the Phatty to the Filter Cutoff In CV on a Voyager, dialed up a wet, resonant patch and had a lot of fun.

The rest is Alesis Micron through MF-101, Korg MicroX through MF-101 and Kurzweil K2000 through a MIDI Murf."

S1 MIDI Trigger Ver 3.2 プロモーションビデオ

YouTube via bebinico | November 07, 2010 -
Update: The video is pretty self explanatory, but I added the new English version below.
No knobs, no problem. Direct control of your synths with the iPad. USB support with the Camera Connection kit is coming (see this related post). And of course direct iPad to synth via the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer. You can create your own layouts with this and it's only $2.99. This is pretty amazing when you think about it. The only other option is TouchOSC and OSCulator which runs $19 to $39 depending on how much you want to pay, and they require a computer to run between the iPad and your gear. Note there are obviously some differences between the two, so do your research, but we now have customizable controllers for our synths. Currently the two only support MIDI CC, but Sysex is coming. The iPad will bring new life to cryptic synths. This is going to open up a whole new world in rediscovering menu based synths. I can't wait to unlock the Yamaha FS1R for example.

THE SOUND OF MICROS Computers and music by Robert A. Moog

You can find the full article on AtariArchives.org

"Robert A. Moog is the inventor of the practical music synthesizer and president of Big Briar, Inc., a Leicester, North Carolina, firm specializing in the design of custom electronic instruments.

'For some of us, the idea of an electronic muse is scary; after all, music is an essentially human activity, while electronic equipment, especially the computer, is "mechanical" and "unnatural." Throughout history, however, music has been closely linked to technology. Except for the human voice, the instruments of music-making have always been "high tech" in their time...'"

Diabolical Modified Roland TR-606 Analog Drum Machine

via this auction
"Roland TR-606 Vintage analog drum machine professionally modified by Diabolical Devices. Features custom paint job and custom front panel along with the following added modifications.

Bass Drum-
Pitch, Decay, and Envelope amount and envelope selector switch. These mods make the 606 bass drum a lot closer to the 808, but allows you to take it further to create some really unique sounds.

Snare Drum-
Added controls for Pitch, Decay Reduction and a High Pass Filter.

Individual Outputs- each drum sound has a post volume control output witch removes corresponding drum sound from the main mix.

This 606 has been completely refurbished and Blue LEDs were added.

Case is in pretty good shape there is a small section missing from the front corner which is pretty common on these machines."
