Make Noise Rene 301 Jam

YouTube Uploaded by ISOTROPOSPHERE on Apr 18, 2011

"This is a long one as I was having mucho fun with this patch. This is a video which came about in response to the Vimeo video from James Cigler entitled "Rene 301Gettin' some touch". James' video tutorial on the Make Noise Rene sequencer was quite inspiring and I decided to take notes and re-create his experimental modes at home on my DFMZ modular synthesizers. This patch is from the third experiment entitled "Tenori-On mode".
My patch uses the Toppobrillo Triple Wave Folder modulated by the Vulcan LFO to spice up the Z3000 Sine waveform instead of the Frequency shifter that James uses in his patch. No delay on my setup, however I do have some Hall effect on the channel on the mixer. Thank you again to James Cigler for his inspiring tutorial series on the Rene sequencer, to Make Noise for the creation of the module, and to Analogue Haven for offering it to the consumer market.

Navs 4MS VCAM & PEG Demo

via Navs

"I got a chance to play with the prototypes of the 4MS VCA Matrix & Pingable Envelope Generator this past week while Dann & Jeannot were visiting Berlin...

The VCAM works as you'd expect: it's a matrix mixer with the added benefit of SSM VCAs & mutes, capable of processing both CVs & audio. The LED mute buttons, in particular, would be useful in performance.

The PEG offers tempo-sync'd envelopes/ LFOs with control over multiplication or division of the envelope time, contour shaping tools and various trigger outs. With a little feedback and when run at audio-rates it can produce chaotic results."

iElectribe Gorillaz Edition

"Korg has teamed up with the hugely popular and globally successful virtual band Gorillaz to create a new dedicated beatbox for the iPad: The iELECTRIBE Gorillaz Edition. A limited run of 10,000 units released at a very special price of US$9.99. *Sales beyond 10,000 units are yet to be determined (as of April 18, 2011).

The iELECTRIBE is a virtual analog beatbox for the iPad; sound creation is easy, fun and intuitive – just as on a vintage analog synthesizer. Simply choose a part and touch the 16-step sequencer to quickly build a groove. The aggressive sound, unique functionality, and intuitive beat-building style of the iELECTRIBE made it a favorite of Gorillaz for their latest album “The Fall”.

While retaining the intuitive beat-making features of the iELECTRIBE, the special Gorillaz Edition is a new machine customized to generate Gorillaz samples from their fourth album “The Fall” which allow the user to create music in a wide variety of musical styles. The iELECTRIBE Gorillaz Edition features: a unique design and synthesizer engine including 128 new sounds created by Gorillaz; and 64 ready-to-use pre-programmed patterns by the sound team Gorillaz, Stephen Sedgwick, and Korg."

"Live modular synthesizer.
Q960 sequencer for the bass line through a Oakley Super Diode Ladder Filter. Six voices comprised of nine oscillators and four VCF's. Additional filters included Grove Audio PM Resonator, Q127 Fixed Filter Bank, two Oakley Equinoxe phasers and a Cyndustries Quad Low Pass Gates. Three sequencers included Q960, Q119 and STG Mini-Stores. A Yusynth Random Gates selected triggering for the percussion sounds and the high drone voice. FX included a TC Electronics D-Two delay and Lexicon MX200.
I'm handling the Q960 skip/reset points and using a Q149 Signal Selector to route cv's for the pitch to the bass line with a Q123 Standards module for pitch/octave modulation. Almost everything else is automated and just faded in and out."

Shoal 0.2

Shoal 0.2 from made by robot on Vimeo.

"Alpha release of shoal, an x,y chaotic movement midi generator with point avoidance, controlled by the Monome 256.

The video is a simple ableton demo set with 2 Simpler (sample) tracks and a base. There are 16 CC channels mapped to various aspects of those 3 tracks, in the Simpler tracks I control sample start position and length with one of them, which leads to some pretty chaotic outcomes.

Still some bugs with the press event handlers (as can be seen in the clip), sometimes a "creation" press, results in an "avoidance" press.

Shoal currently supports 16 fish instances, each of those generates x,y midi cc output, so a total of 32 channels of midi data.

With refresh rates from 5ms/step up to minutes per step. At 5ms I found that ableton or max just couldn't keep up.

Code is available:
