GRAMDADDY- The desperate assumption

YouTube Uploaded by tatagram on Mar 19, 2011
follow-up to this post.
"The second part of the dyptych. In memory of Hunter S. Thompson, Dr.Gonzo and all our lost soldiers.

Hardware only setup
Elektron Machinedrum, Elektron Monomachine, x0xb0x, roland sp-555, korg radias, microkorg xl, boss dr-670, peavey 24fx, lexicon mx200, lexicon mx400, korg kaoss pad.

Sorry, tripod is a bit broken and uncooperative.

Hope, quality of the sound better on www.myspace.com/gramdaddy. Cheers. Hope to inspire you.

There he goes -- one of God's own prototypes -- a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die
We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously...
All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create...
... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force -- is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.
Remember, if you have any trouble you can always send a telegram to the Right People."

Kebu - The Lunar Effect (Yamaha S30 demo)

YouTube Uploaded by kebunator on Mar 19, 2011

"This time I wanted to explore the limits of my Yamaha S30, so I decided to do a whole tune only by MIDI sequencing.

The song was programmed/performed using Cubase SL solely as a MIDI sequencer controlling the S30 (in "Performance" mode). The song was then recorded straight to 2-track tape in one go. No overdubs, multitracking or external effects were used. Only mild EQ and limiting was used for the digital master. The video was later compiled showing how the various parts were played or programmed."

New PerFourMer 2 Coming - Prototype Demo

via the Vermona Blog
"It’s not a big secret, that we are working on a synthesizer that we will present at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt (6th to 9th April 2011). And it’s also no secret that it will be the successor of the discontinued PerFourMer, so it is very likely that our new baby will carry the same name “PerFourMer”, possibly followed by a “2″.

You can listen to some sounds generated by the prototype. Please don’t judge the musical value, it’s just a simple sequence and some knob tweaking on the synth.

Enjoy!"

Hollow Sun OSCILLOSINE and ORGANA Now Available!

via Atomic Shadow, who's HP oscillators are featured in OSCILLOSINE (see Hollowsun label below for prior posts including video) via the Hollow Sun newsletter: "OSCILLOSINE and ORGANA now available....

Well... they are!!

There has been considerable excitement in the blogosphere about these two intriguing looking Kontakt instruments ... and not without good reason as they represent a new direction in Kontakt soundware and a new direction for HS products.

Best of all, however, is the price ... a mere $8 for 'Oscillosine'!!! That's about £5 in real money and €5.70 for my friends across the channel in Europeland (roughly ... depending on exchange rates obviously).

'Organa' will sell for just $4! You do the maths!

Roland Jupiter 8 Synthesizer w/Encore JP8MK midi kit

via this auction
"In addition the the stock features, this Jupiter 8 is fitted with the Encore JP8 MK midi retrofit kit (manual included with instrument), which adds additional patch memories and the following additional midi features...

-Separately selectable MIDI channel for upper and lower banks.
-Arpeggiator can be clocked from the original way (internal/external) or from MIDI with a variable PPQ from 1 to 24.
-MIDI pitch bend. Scaleable from the front panel in semitone intervals up to one octave.
-Hold from MIDI (Controller 64d - sustain)
-Keyboard mode-Solo, Unison, Poly1, Poly2 selected from sysex message or non-registered parameter.
-Arpeggio mode- Range 1,2,3,4; Up, Down, Up/Down, Random selected from sysex message or non-registered parameter.
-MIDI EXPRESSION to FILTER cutoff. (Controller #11d)
-MIDI VOLUME to VCA control. (Controller #07d)
MIDI BREATH controller to VCA, Filter cutoff, or Both. (Controller #02d)
-Portamento ON/OFF from controller # 41h (65).
-COMPUTUNE from MIDI Tune Request F6h
-MIDI dump from "cassette save" button while in MIDI mode. This allows JP8s to transfer patches without the need for a computer. This also allows a generic sysex utility to store the JP8 memory.

The Encore JP8 MK kit also provides an additional 64 patches for a total of 128 patches. They can easily be selected from MIDI or from the front panel. The patch presets can also remember any two patches from the total 128. DUAL MIDI CHANNEL RESPONSE allows a SPLIT preset to have each timber controlled by separate MIDI channels over a five octave range. If the JP8 is in SPLIT mode, it will respond to MIDI data on two independent channels. If the JP8 is in the DUAL mode, it will respond to all data only from the upper channel with one exception. The exception is that it will still respond to patch change information on the lower channel to facilitate modification of the layer. This will simplify sequencing because the JP8 will not require two identical note data streams."

"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.

You can find the TouchOSC template here. Note this does require The Missing Link to work as it uses OSC to MIDI for sysex support.

You can find a TB MIDI Stuff port of the editor which does not require The Missing Link here.

The template covers single mode for the M-Audio Venom. Click on each image for the full size shot. You can see every single editable parameter of the Venom in single mode. Note the Venom does have 16 modulation slots. I stopped at 10 as that is good enough for me for now.

The template is mapped for The Missing Link. You can however map it to OSCulator or other so it should at least save you some time if you are on those formats. Update: You can find a TB MIDI Stuff port of the editor which does not require The Missing Link here.


See this post for a video - note I switched to the Venom color scheme for the template. It looks much sharper than the rainbow colors I originally had.
