It's quite handy, and a lot of fun. Every sound you hear was created on Korg DS-10. Feel free to ask questions. Please enjoy!!! =)

Richard Hoadley - Gaggle, Generative Sound Interface 2010

YouTube Uploaded by MediaArtTube on Mar 16, 2011

"The Gaggle prototype has been imagined, designed and developed in order to experiment personally with such interfaces, and primarily with the link between sensor (in this case 'pings'), physical computing board (in this case Arduino) and SuperCollider audio language.
Gaggle provides an opportunity to investigate performance using Gaggle, including questions such as: * Does the number of sensors affect the nature of the interface? Does increasing the number of sensors to a point where they are difficult to control consciously affect performativity? * Does the relative position of the sensors affect the result. In particular these ultrasound sensors can interfere with each other, especially when designing for movement such as that created by dancers. * How does the type of movement to be used with the interface affect the use and design of the interface? For instance, in this case, how is the direction of the sensors affected and what difference does this make? * Interplay between physical implementation and software algorithms: for instance, does the physical nature of the interface need to be reflected in its performance results. Of course all the usual issues concerning algorithmic composition and structuring arise at this point.

"I will be donating all of the proceeds to the Red Cross Japan relief fund. All 13 tracks were created on the Bugbrand modular live in one take with no traditional sequencing, midi, overdubs or computers. They were created for a challenge set by Tom Bugs to create Radiophonic inspired tracks to be played at the forthcoming event at the Cube Cinema, Bristol, UK

I have set the price for the 13 track album at a minimum of £1.25 (no maximum, but I'm hoping for £2 per copy)"

Electric Independence: Ulrich Schnauss

via motherboard.tv

"When post-shoegaze magician – the peerless electronic wunderkind – Ulrich Schnauss invited us to his apartment in London, he specified it would have to be at night due to his predilection for ‘nocturnal’ activities.

We thought that seemed mostly normal for a musician until he came to the door (clad in leather jeans) and dragged us up to his pitch-black attic.

Thankfully all of our Warhol-period Udo Kier fantasy/nightmares were unwarranted the moment we walked into his studio: an impressive collection of synthesizers and effects units used to layer hundreds of manipulated sounds and craft some of the most breathtaking, bombastic records released in recent years.

Ulrich was kind enough to show us some of his favorite instruments and demo the tasty tones from his forthcoming album."

Sendai - Improvisation for the japanese people

YouTube Uploaded by TouchedByInspiration on Mar 14, 2011

"I have no words for what happened by the disaster in Japan. Still there are things that even an earthquake or tsunami cannot destroy. My improvisation tells about these things that one can rediscover in all the destruction: hope, confidence, faith, courage, compassion and friendship. My wish to the japanese people is to find what cannot be destroyed...
(The recording is played live and spontanously on march 13nd 2011 by Christiane Dehmer, piano and synthesizer.)

Mir fehlen die Worte für das, was durch die Naturkatastrophe in Japan geschehen ist. Aber es gibt Dinge, die kann kein Tsunami verschlingen und kein Erdbeben zerstören. Diese Improvisation erzählt von diesen Dingen, die man in aller Verwüstung neu entdecken kann: Hoffnung, Vertrauen, Glaube, Mut, Barmherzigkeit und seinen Nächsten ... Mein Wunsch für das japanische Volk ist zu finden, was nicht zerstört werden kann...

#3: The bluebox synthesizer. Interconnection with a MIDI controller

YouTube Uploaded by dd49ll on Mar 15, 2011

"The bluebox is a stand alone instrument by it's own. But the possibilities with the bluebox comes in many flavors, as it has MIDI-in and MIDI-out capabilities. Play on it with your master keyboard. Let it control your favorite synthesizer. Connect your bluebox to a MIDI-controller and get as many knobs as you want. Record you sounds and notes in your sequencer. And let your sequencer play your favorite basslines with glide and accent on the bluebox. Only your imagination will expand it's possibilities to the fullest.

The breakout cable is a accessory to also get a MIDI-out port on your bluebox synthesizer. With this the bluebox can send program change, notes, modulation wheel, CC messages, dump sound patches to save in your MIDI files, and much more.

Also see Yamaha DSR-2000 pure (24 Tracks)

"This demo i made with Yamaha PSR-36 Keyboard. Build +/- 1988.
It brings 4-OP FM synthesis with 5 parameters for editing the synthesizer engine. And there are also 25 drum samples in poor and shortened quality. There are no filters, no unisono and no effects, but the stereo synthesizer make it little bit width. PSR-36 includes a simply chord- and custom drummer-sequencer and a usually drum computer for entertainer with a lot of variations.

In first step you listen a simply demo in usually quality. Later follows a demo with 16 instruments made in PSR-36. I only recording this sounds pure out of the keyboard and arranged in Logic to a demosong. No help with external Eqs, Filters, or any other Fx. ... this mean pure.

There is more possible than this little beating demo i made. Enjoy :)

"This short video I made last Monday evening (or actually night). I wanted to capture the moment but afterward I noticed the video is somewhat dark.
It begins with an intro played on the Waldorf Q Keyboard with a harp-like sound. After that the three sequences are started. The distinct distorted sound comes from the Synthesizers.com Modular through the Doepfer A-189-1 Voltage Controlled Bit Modifier. This Modular performs two 8-step sequences I alternate manually. The self-built Modular does a 6-step sequence with randomized steps. The Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO together with the Blacet Miniwave does an 8-step sequence. The Mellotron strings and choir sound is played on the Roland XP-80 and the bass on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. From 2:23 on a strings sound is played on the Waldorf Q Keyboard and I must admit I overdubbed that strings section with another strings sound of the Q Keyboard afterwards because it sounded very thin.

You can download/see/hear the video and music from my website soon."

Yamaha CS-40m vintage analog synthesizer

via this auction
"This is a rare synth with 2 full voices (4 Oscillators!) and a great divide down keyboard which plays like a poly synth. For example if you play 1 note, 2 osc sound. If you play 2 notes, 4 oscillators sound. If you play 3 notes, you'll hear all three notes, divided amongst the oscillators. There isnt much info on the net about how this works, but it sounds really cool.

The multimode filter is really dirty and easy to overdrive. The resonance, while it doesnt quite resonate, is still nice and squelchy for thick basslines. The Osc do PWM for a HUGE sound. This is one of the few early analog synths with memory, and there are 20 slots for saving patches. One of the neat unintended "features" is that if you pull the batteries and switch it off and back on, it will scramble the memory and you'll get patches you couldnt possibly dream up. The LFO will go way into the audio rate and therefore will yield some nice FM tones. It also has a ring modulator, which gives some nice bells and rings..."
