KORG DS-10 PLUS: 'In the Whirlpool' From DDR Mario Mix
YouTube via seehanth001 | November 12, 2010
"Here's my recreation of my favourite Mario Mix song. This song was created entirely on Korg DS-10 Plus. I also extended the song to my liking. Alternatively, you can call this a 'Pomp and Circumstance' remix. The original melody was created by Edward Elgar and was remixed to become a dance song for DanceDanceRevolution Mario Mix.
Listen in HD for the best quality and Please enjoy!! :D"

19 Pseudo Delay
YouTube via 7thDanSound | November 11, 2010

Korg iMS20 vs the real MS20 - by modul8tor
YouTube via modul8tor | November 11, 2010
"Live demo & comparison between the Korg iMS20 for iPad versus the original analog synthesizer, the MS20.
Not an academical approach, just some playing to get you the idea with some tunes.
So what's the verdict, you may ask?
Well, its simple: if you happen to have an MS20 laying somewhere, go with that, else, buy the iMS20 and enjoy the drums section. :)
Please leave some feedback....
Go create some music!

Elektron Octotrack Update: The Audio Editor and Slice Points
"The audio editorThe audio editor is where editing of imported or recorded samples takes place. The sample waveform is displayed graphically in the audio editor and for precise interaction waveform zoom and zero crossing search commands are available. A number of tasks are carried out in the audio editor. Trimming, loop point settings, normalization and, maybe most important of all, slice point handling.
Slice points
Slice points are markers that offer a flexible way of dividing a sample in different regions. Set the slice points either automatically by transient detection or manually by using the data entry knobs. Once the sample is sliced parameter locks can make different steps of the sequencer play back different sample regions. In the audio editor it is even possible to customize or randomize the playback of slice points. Keep shuffling the slice points around until the perfect loop is obtained. Slice points make it easy to break down samples and restructure them from the ground up."

Korg IMS-20, Hexfix93’s Take
toxiccomaims20.wav by Hexfix93. Uploaded with KORG iMS-20
"Interface:9.5
This is where the Ipad apps always shine: the ease of use, being able to tap the screen, use your finger on a knob and tweak it more like real hardware, in some cases better. In this case, I am floored. It’s a little strange at first look. At the top of the of the screen there are tons of these buttons, like synth, drum, effects global utility, etc. These navigate you to all the sections you need to jump to. What is really cool is that this is a semi modular synth, and you can tap and drag to connect virtual cables to the cv matrix on the right hand of the synth."

Network MIDI control with Pianist Pro
YouTube via MooCowMusic | November 11, 2010
"Coming in V1.8, Pianist Pro offers wireless MIDI control using the OSX "Network MIDI" driver. Simply enable Network MIDI within Pianist Pro, connect to it using the standard "Audio and MIDI Setup" utility on the Mac, and you will be provided with a new virtual MIDI port which can be access from any MIDI software. No installation. No wires. No problem!
For more information on Pianist Pro, check out our website at: http://moocowmusic.com"
Update: via MooCowMusic: "I thought you might be interested to see a video demonstration showing the direct and wireless connection of the iPad with the OSX Network MIDI drivers. Wireless MIDI control from the iPad has been possible for some time via OSC or DSMI, but both methods require some additional server setup, adding an extra layer of complexity. Now for the first time you can connect the iPad directly to your Mac via the built-in Network MIDI drivers. Latency is fantastic and the OSX Network MIDI driver offers a variety of configuration possibilities. Network MIDI functionality is included in the V1.8 update to Pianist Pro which will be available soon."

Incredible
YouTube via attorks | November 11, 2010
"Yesterday evening I was dialing in some sequences and it sounded very nice. But after recording a video it appeared that the sound recording was not alright, very distorted. So this evening I made a new video after first testing the sound recording. Now it is OK and the session is way better that yesterday evening so I guess this was meant to be. The song starts with an 8-step sequence on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO/Blacet MiniWave voice and a bass tone from the Synthesizers.com which is driven by the Q960. The Q963 is used to turn on and off individual stages for the bass tones. After that arpeggiated tones from the Waldorf Q Keyboard are introduced. Then the volume of the 8-step sequence from the MAQ16/3 for the self-built Modular is turned up. Strings are played on the Roland XP-80 and the solo on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.
The title refers to my friend Anne; she is a truly incredible woman.
The whole video is just over 20 minutes long and will be available soon from my website."

Immacula by Fantadrom
"This composition is from a project I'm currently working on that consists of ambient electronica that's more or less in the vein of Warp's early Artificial Intelligence series. The string/ choral pad type sound was produced with a Roland HS-60 (which is just a Juno-106 with built in speakers) with liberal amounts of one of my homemade spring reverbs mixed in. The running melody that begins around the 20 second mark was produced with a Roland JX-10 with some Yamaha R1000 reverb mixed in with one the voices. The bass line was made with a Mono/Poly using a patch in unison mode with only two oscillators, each outputting a triangle wave (the triangle waves output by the Mono/Poly's oscillators are really well suited to deep sub-bass sounds, and the snappy envelopes allow you to make a tight and surprisingly modern bass sound). The percussion in the left channel was produced with an MFB-522 and the right side is from the trusty old TR-606. The kick drum in the center is also from the 522. The percussion sounds are all treated with varying amounts of spring reverb. Everything was sequenced with an Atari 1040STe running Notator (essentially proto-Logic), and was recorded live, mixed, and mastered on a Korg D3200." See Fantadrom for more.
ARP 2600 4012 VCA
via Analogue Sweden
"The sub-modules in the early 2600 was double dipped in epoxy as a friendly reminder from ARP to mind your own fucking business, but luckily they later changed their attitude to a more "sharing-is-caring" kind of vibe, and dropped the epoxy altogether. In this super early Tonus-logo 2600 version I was surprised to find a module that wasn't covered in epoxy, but soldered in a metal casing. Looks"
