Pixelh8's Sonus (Six) for iPhone/iPod Touch Free

"Sonus (Six) is a digital referee for 12-note serial composition. Users simply tap on a block releasing the sound contained within it, once released the block extinguishes itself. This continues until as per the rules of 12-note composition, all twelve
boxes have been utilised and they are free to return to play.

The software in part inspired by the work of Arnold Schoenberg, with “Sonus (Six)” adding the dimesion the uknown note contained in the box. Not only allowing for each note to be of equal importance but allowing the performer no preference of known order.

“Sonus (Six)” is part of a collection of digital instruments designed and programmed by Pixelh8. The instruments are a culmination of three years of Masters Degree research in to alternative musical instruments and notation systems."

Manta - First Session

YouTube via copenhagennoiselab | November 11, 2010

Manta - First Session v2

copenhagennoiselab | November 11, 2010

"In this video I just route CCs from the hexagons to the Nord Modular G2. I control FX for rhythms on the top row and toggles Delay/Reverb too. On the very left I use CCs to control pitch and amplitude of 4 oscillators. On the other buttons I just control amlitude of 36 different tuned Sinus oscillators. The second and forth row from the bottom is just detuned oscillators of the ones controlled in the row below."

Checkerboard Step Sequencer V2

Checkerboard Step Sequencer V2 from Josh Silverman on Vimeo.

"This is a demo video to demonstrate the use of a checker board as a step sequencer. This video should make obvious the relationship between the position of the checkers pieces and the noises they represent and trigger. It's still a work in progress, but for now I won't subject you to the cacophony that is the sound of an actual game of checkers.

Aside from the kick drum, which just keeps pace on every beat, all other drum samples are triggered off the board.

In this version, I've implemented a Mute Region that surrounds the board. When the application sees activity in the mute region, it disables the updating of the sequencer. This way, my hand doesn't trigger a cacophony when I move the pieces.

More details at prettyextreme.com/​?p=124

Built with openFrameworks and Ableton Live."

Dance Floor Step Sequencer V1 from Josh Silverman on Vimeo.

"This is a proof-of-concept demo video to illustrate the use of a dance floor projection as a step sequencer. The bouncing circles represent dancers who, in their movement across the floor, turn the steps of the sequencer on or off.

The sensing and graphics system synchronizes with Ableton Live to enable collaboration with musicians.

Ellatron via MIDI

flickr By Omenie

"Ellatron via MIDI

A small group of people will remember our first MIDI video about 10 months ago that needed a jailbroken iPhone. Well here is the real thing.

Filmed by iPod Touch, here are a few of the features of the Ella MIDI implementation - 3 voices at once (upper, lower and pads), all can be played concurrently if you have enough hands or somebody else around/on stage who can hit the pads. Programmable keyboard split for upper and lower, programmable chord pads if your keyboard supports it (and the Axiom 49 has 8 of them - mighty useful). Ella can be seen responding to controllers on the keyboard with on-screen information keeping you up to date, and controllers are used to change voices, volume, pitch, tone, reverb parameters, and level/pan for each of the upper, lower and pad instruments. Ellatron and the Lite Trons now all feature the same rich reverb unit first seen in M3000, and the MIDI Ellatron is going to hit the shops with a handful of the real Tron voices from M3000, albeit with the usual limitations - shorter loop times, major third sampling intervals etc. Mellotron purists, or indeed anyone who wants a real Tron will still want the M3000, but people who just want a handful of Tron sounds for occasionally spicing up a song will love the new Ella.

Plus the MIDI implementation is ultra-responsive, despite this being a debug build and having a dozen printfs per played note - printfs going over WiFi to the Mac, because you can't really printf with an attached dock accessory...

A bit more work to do on the user interface to de-stupid it (e.g. "What is" ... "This For?" on the left!), an upgrade to the saved/restored preferences file, and we will be ready to roll out for testing. If all goes well we should be good to go by early December."
