Recording audio on iPad with Behringer U-control UCA222 (MultiTrack Daw app)


YouTube via mvpadrini | December 27, 2010 |

"Testing the cheap and compact audio interface UCA222 for recording audio on iPad. Even with the power limitations of iOS 4.2 for external devices the UCA222 works nice with the Camera Connection Kit. No external power supply needed. It's a nice solution for recording in stereo keeping the mobility.

For this video I used the Multitrack Daw app and a Korg Microx. The demo song is an excerpt of Renaissance's Can You Understand (Ashes are burning, 1973).

É uma boa solução para gravar em estéreo e manter a mobilidade.

Para este vídeo usei o aplicativo MusltiTrack DAW e um sintetizador Korg Microx. A música de demonstração é um trecho da faixa Can You Understand da banda Renaissance (Ashes are burning, 1973).

KORG DS-10 PLUS: 'The Piano' by Jazztronik


YouTube via seehanth001 | December 27, 2010 |

"Here's my recreation of 'The Piano'. The DS-10 Plus does the backing track while I play the piano. It's slightly arranged. This song was recreated by ear, like all of my DS-10 recreations. 'The Piano' is one of my favourite songs by Jazztronik. Please enjoy!! :D

The backing track was created entirely on Korg DS-10 Plus.
Arranged and performed by Anthony Seeha. =)

*Yeah, I noticed that I have some timing issues. -_-'''''
*Oh, and unfortunately, I was too reluctant to figure out the left hand part at 2:47"

The Spacebox - Another Kyle Weiss Noisemaker


YouTube via KillKyleWeiss | April 08, 2010 |

"Add a Pro-Rythm D2 drum synth thing, an old 1940's tube test box, a Dauz pad and a cheap First Act delay pedal (plus some tweaking)... and you have: Der Spacebox. Not pretty, like most of my crap, and not exactly original, I just wanted a space-drum clone but with more features in a not-so-tidy package. Rustic improvements include real apple branches as build tiers, clothespins to keep wires from getting yanked too far from the holes in the box, and frustrated cursing because the "engineering," of this thing renders it moody at the slightest touch-- yet you're supposed to bang on it. Dauz pad is not actually hooked up, it's just a place to beat the box to trigger the internal contact (compression?) microphone. Though the Dauz pad would happily hook up to something else to play in tandem. I am not a drummer. I just wanted noise. Take that, Internet."

1st bend, Casiotone MT-40, The White Nightmare


YouTube via KillKyleWeiss | August 17, 2008 |

"NEW! Updated video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrdCHr... [below]

A try at a new interest. This whole "circuit bending," hooplah. Okay, fine.

This Casiotone MT-40 keyboard had something spilled in it long ago by a roommate, who then gave it to me. It sounded awful. So it was begging to be tortured.

Now it tortures ears. (No vintage whores chastising me for ruining it. Shhh.) A combination of manual and auto modes, crosswired push-switches and toggles, and "The Nipple." Made from a steering-column lock bolt from a 1978 Toyota corolla, it is a touch-sensitive digalog pitch-bender of sorts. It also makes the poor White Nightmare hate life and complain when you use certain buttons in conjunction with it. Which, requires a restart once in a while.

I discover new ear-bleeding effects with just the six additions every day! Cosmetically its a sad-ass project. Audibly it is schizophrenic.

It will be used on stage, most likely as an analog noise generator, and fill-in box. Hope you like The White Nightmare, named after the butt-rocker era from whence it came."

The White Nightmare: Revisited.

KillKyleWeiss | October 21, 2009 |

"A lot of people asked me when I upgraded The White Nightmare, to post a video. Well, it happened. I did the extra filter bends with a blue knob, and a couple of main-keys glitch switches about six months ago. Procrastinate much? Not I! Same fun as the original White Nightmare, but now with new ear-splitting rage."

ROLAND JSQ-60 DCB Sequencer

via this auction
"This sequencer connects to a Juno 60 or Jupiter 8a (and modified early Jupiter 8s) via its hardwired DCB cable and allows you to record and overdub up to 2000 note sequences either in real time or in single step loading. It features two DIN Sync outs, allowing control of anything equipped with a DIN Sync socket (ie, TB-303, TR-808, TR-606, CR-8000 etc). It also has a tape interface for saving/loading compositions, which can be used with almost any recording/playback medium (eg computer DAW) for backing up recorded songs. It retains the last composition in internal memory, even when switched off. It is powered by a standard 9v boss type adaptor (not included)."

Here is some information on Peter Brown from allmusic.com: 'Peter Brown first came to fame with the first million-selling 12" dance single, "Do Ya Wanna Get Funky with Me." Brown was a pioneer in home recording, having recorded his seminal hit in his bedroom. (His '70s-era home recording studio is pictured on the cover of Westside/DNA's Get Funky with Me: The Best of the TK Years.) He also co-wrote Madonna's 1985 pop hit, "Material Girl," with Peter Rans.'"

"This listing is for the Roland MT-32 hard-to-find first generation. The first generation has the best audio-quality and is the least noisiest, as later revisions implemented measures that lowered the dynamics and introduced more noise along with overall lower-quality components.

It is a direct relative to the legendary Roland D-50 synthesizer. It works perfectly, and there are no imperfections of any kind. A standard MIDI cable will also be included. Will take a standard Roland 9v adapter."

MOOG MEMORYMOOG + PLUS with Aftertouch & Velocity

via this auction
"The Legendary MEMORYMOOG PLUS, with ADDED AFTERTOUCH, brought to you out of safe seclusion, nearly as pristine as the day it was manufactured.

The FATTEST, RICHEST MOOG SOUND MADE in a non-modular system. ALL THE CONTROLS AND # OF VCOS OF THE CLASSIC MINIMOOG X 6!

That's right: 3 VCO's per voice, and there are SIX VOICES, 18 VCO's, 12 ADSR Envelope Generators, 6 VCFs, with Program Memory and ANALOG VCO AUTOTUNE (Thank God!) Same controls, same location. Legendary CEM VCO and VCF. And sure, you can make the VCO's "beat" and "roll" with the FINE TUNE vernier control. This is the coveted PLUS version, with refined and updated POWER SUPPLY, MIDI and SEQUENCER.

AND, unlike any other MemoryMoog Plus, this one has AFTERTOUCH (aka Pressure Sensing) and VELOCITY Sensing Keyboard (also available WITHOUT it).

SEE THE PLATE?

THAT'S THE EXTERNAL CONFIRMATION OF THE "PLUS" FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE ON THIS DELUXE MODEL. (INTERNAL MODS ARE ALSO PART OF THE PACKAGE, INCLUDING UPGRADED POWER SUPPLY)."

MINT MAXED MOOG MINIMOOG with Aftertouch

via this auction

"THE REAL THING: The Legendary MINIMOOG, in ABSOLUTELY MINT condition,
fully restored by EME (40 years experience) and functioning perfectly.

WITH AFTERTOUCH AND VELOCITY SENSING ADDED TO THE KEYBOARD!!

MAIN ELECTRONICS UPDATED FOR MORE STABLE VCO'S.

NOW "THE SOUND" WITH THE EXPRESSIVENESS ONLY AN AFTERTOUCH KEYBOARD GIVES.

Even Analog Modeling synths exhibit "zipper noise" in their quantizing an analog phenomenon: the opening and closing of a filter. You'll hear the difference immediately. This thing is ORGANIC next to digital, or MINIMOOG re-creations. And of course that individual-component-style Moog Ladder filter shapes and squeezes each note with that unmistakably MOOG timbre control Thank you so much Bob, wherever you are.

The MINIMOOG had several VCO versions. While they all generate the sound the same way, (so "the sound" is always there no matter which version you use) the earlier versions tended to temperature-sensitive at times, and thus drifted in tuning, requiring constant tweaking during performance. That is what you will likely get on other Minimoogs that show up. SOLUTION: Confirm the VCO's are of the LATEST REV. That's what's shown below, and included and calibrated in the MicroMoog MAX here. These were only available in the very latest MiniMoogs.

EXTERNAL CONTROL INPUTS. 0-10VDC.

The AFTERTOUCH/VELOCITY are routed, with plugs, to these inputs.

WANT EVEN MORE CONTROL? Inquire about the available OPTION 2,
which brings the several other Aftertouch and Velocity controls and outputs
out onto the front or rear panel, as you order.

ACCESSORY POWER SOCKETS. Several external options, like ribbon controller, sequencer, etc. were made available for the MiniMoog and these jacks allow some of them to be powered. Note the 50mA rating."

Dowser is Hiroyuki Nagashima, Masateru Terai and Takashi Miyagawa. Since their musical approach varies with every piece, their music cannot be described in short, however, it always evokes visual images. Using vintage synthesizers such as EMS, Buchla and latest DSP, the music they produce has sometimes barbaric and sometimes vulnerable feel.They have been working with several leading film directors, including Sogo Ishii, Katsuhiro Otomo, Kunitoshi Manda and Shinji Aoyama."

Mark Jenkin's "The iPad Album" Synth List

See the update in this post. Note "The iPad Album" precedes the new Gorillaz iPad album and technically appears to be the first commercially available album made with the iPad. However it is worth noting iMatik made withe the iPhone preceded both. See this post for reference. One thing that hasn't been done from what I can tell is an album produced and mixed on the iPad or iPhone from start to finish. Note: "Mark Jenkins is the author of "Analog Synthesizers" available worldwide through Amazon(posted here) and an internationally published music technology author and keyboard collector."

MGMT - Kids short cover on Alesis Ion synthesizer


YouTube via adzy31 | November 25, 2008 |

"me trying to recreate some of the sounds from "Kids" by MGMT. this is one take, the drums are from Reason and the rest is all from the Ion.

A few mistakes but i find it hard to multitask... bass, lead, keyboard and foot pedal are too many things for me to do at once :P

fairly short - i was going to record the entire song but thought....if i'm not singing on it, there's no point really, as the background music is fairly repetitive. maybe if i can find someone with a decent voice we can cover it properly?

the audio is straight from my digicam. i recorded the audio in this on the PC but the volume was messed up, and it sounds alright from the camera anyway."

And the original track (note this is not the official video, see below):

MGMT "Kids" Video

YouTube via jsalmon | January 31, 2008 | 67,195 likes, 3,162 dislikes

Lyrics: You were a child, Crawling on your knees toward it, Making momma so proud, But your voice is too loud, We like to watch you laughing, You pick the insects off plants, No time to think of consequences [Chorus: Control yourself, Take only what you need from it/him, A family of trees wanted, To be haunted] The water is warm, But it’s sending me shivers, A baby is born, Crying out for attention, The memories fade, Like looking through a fogged mirror, Decision to decisions are made, And not bought, But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot. I guess not.

"HD Version: http://www.itsjonsalmon.com
Article about the video: http://www.canyon-news.com/artman2/pu...
About Abby and Rafael: www.myspace.com/abrafever
Just to set the story straight: the facepainted kids in the video are a boy and girl from Los Angeles, two friends of mine, names Raf and Abby. MGMT was not involved in the making of this video, however, they became involved down the line.
The story goes like this: December 2007: Rushing to make a due date for a USC Music Video class, I ask my friends Raf and Abby to appear in my video. I like the way they bounce off of each other despite completely different personality types, and think they both have interesting faces. Raf didn't want to shave so I didn't push him. We shot in one night, I cut overnight, turn it in and call it the worst thing I've done so far.
January 2008: On a whim one night while visiting home in Austin, Texas, I throw the video on Youtube just for kicks.
April 2008: Ray Tintori, who has directed 3 official videos for MGMT, finds my fan video online and invites myself and my two actors to come to New York to appear in MGMTs next official video for Electric Feel.
May 2008: We go to New York and have a great time on the set with the band and all their friends."
