"Here is a first video of a series of demos for the PMF. The patch featured is a SawTooth OSC, with another OSC tuned -1 OCT. Basic LP filter, Mixer, and VCA.

For the 1st scene a MIDI file is used from Megaman games.
The 2nd scene the SawTooth is Viewed on the Oscilloscope while using the keyboard briefly.
The same for the 3rd scene I was seeing some nice Oscilloscope results.
The 4th scene a MIDI file from the Zelda games was used.
Finally the 5th scene is more ARP fun from built in Ableton, as well as the Scale plugin. This is followed by a brief peak of the TNR-I app (TenoriON) 16 Ch MIDI sequencer.

Enjoy,

ArdCore Cartesian 4x4 Step Sequencer

Published on Dec 1, 2012 by chisel316
Gets going at 2:14.

"This is a demonstration of a 4x4 step sequencer I created for the Snazzy FX ArdCore Eurorack module. The top left knob sets the X position, the top right knob sets the Y position, the bottom left knob sets the CV at the X,Y position, the CLK input (yellow patch) advances the X step and the A3 input (green patch) advances the Y step. In the first part, I use both knobs on the 8nu8r to advance through the X and Y steps manually while programming the sequences. In the second part, I plug the X and Y clocks into the ES-3 which is acting as a clock divider sending out gates in 1 to 8 steps. For example, by patching the X clock into output 1 and the Y clock into output 4 the sequencer advances through all 16 steps in order. Hope you enjoy it!"

TB303 & TT303 Bass Bot Video Comparisons

Published on Dec 1, 2012 by Bonnline

"TB & TT comparison. OK what can I say? Well the TT is value for money v the price of a TB. If you own a TB you will notice the slight differences but man that TT is impressive. The bass end blows the TB away but the TB still has those strange idiosyncrasies that that TT just can't quite replicate albeit it does come very close - only a TB owner will notice this. The TT certainly sends the x0xb0x to third place! Build quality is just like a new original, the tunning-accent pots are higher thus easier to turn but may feel a little wobbly for it!! I think TB owners will be shocked at how good it is = I was!. The tunes you hear are both identical but my TB double fires (sticky button syndrome!)... aha! but this is part of the TBs power - you get a different tune to what you had originally planned. The TB303 is the master but he has shown the TT the way ;-)"

Arduino Video Tutorials & the Standuino

Published on Oct 1, 2012 by rswwwchannel

Playlist below. This set of videos focuses on the Arduino.  Remember you can use the controls at the bottom of the player to skip through the videos.  For those not familiar with the Arduino, it's an open source micro-controller that you can use to create any number of things synth related or not as you can see in some of these video.    As for Standuino "Standuino started as a clone board of popular Arduino but adapted to even more DIY approach of eastern region (=bastl). With this powerful tool it became part of many art installations and enabled our research team to build prototypes of many different devices most importantly musical instruments. The whole concept of Standuino is inspired and covered by the story of a pioneer of media art – Standa Filip. The name Standuino goes mainly from Standas name but also stands for what Standuino is best at – the standalone applications."

The following is the description for the first video:
"Subscribe and find out more about the new Arduino Starter Kit at http://ow.ly/e3WVr (remember to select your country).

Find out more about this project at DesignSpark http://ow.ly/exy2Q

Looking to learn the basics of using the Arduino starter board? Well be sure to watch this informative video hosted by Massimo Banzi, one of the Co-Founders of Arduino.

The video explains how to build a basic circuit with the Arduino board, and how to use each of the basic components such as LEDs, switches, and resistors. So if you are new to engineering, or have only recently purchased the Arduino started kit, this video is a must-watch!"

Marsynth WSB-A Now Available

You might rember the Wasabi from this previous post.  It is now available.

via Marsynth

"The WSB-A is now officially available!

The first run is available only in assembled form due to a few issues with small through-hole pads on the boards. The next run will include both assembled and kit formats.

Current pricing for the board is $60 assembled and $40 for the kit plus shipping. Orders will be handled via email (marsynth at gmail dot come) for the time being.

The WSB-A product page went up a little while ago which now has the official info sheet and some audio demos: http://marsynth.com/products_mswsba.html

WSB-B is coming along nicely and will hopefully be available in time for the holidays.

Several other *big* things are in the works but likely won't be announced for some time.

As always, thanks for your interest and support!

The World Of Tomorrow from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.

"This piece features EMW-200, DotCom, STG, Krisp 1 modules along with sine wave oscillators, Moog ring mod, and various effects. Michael Dodds assembled this film from footage that was shot while recording the piece on 11/23/12. I think he captured the spirit of the piece beautifully.

At the very end of the piece you get a very brief glimpse of the new look for Atomic Shadow. Very brief."

Simple Step Sequencer for Livid Code

Published on Nov 29, 2012 by lividTV

"This is a quick demo of a simple step sequencer for the Livid Code.
more info http://blog.lividinstruments.com/2012/11/30/darwins-code-step-sequencer-an-ev...

An update to Darwin Grosse's step sequencer as outlined in Part One of "Working with Hardware" http://cycling74.com/2012/01/04/working-with-hardware-livid-instruments'-...

This is the sort of 'most obvious' approach to making a step sequencer on the Code: thirty-two steps, with the knobs changing pitch on a pentatonic scale. Because it's so simple, it's ultra-fun, and similar to classic analog step sequencers.

In that analog spirit, this video uses Reason's SubTractor synth, with its Echo delay to make some really great sounds with the simple stepper."

via Peter Nyboer on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

Mixing with Propellerheads Reason and Livid Code Step Sequencers

Published on Nov 30, 2012 by lividTV
Further explorations of using a simple step sequencer build in Cycling74's Max with Reason's amazing sound toys. More information and downloads (including free step sequencer app) is available at http://blog.lividinstruments.com/2012/11/30/the-evolution-continues-code-and-...
All of the effects, synths and sequences are controlled with the Livid Code MIDI controller. An over the shoulder camera view lets you see that everything is done in realtime, and in the screen capture of Reason lets you see the parameters as they change. There's a better take of the music mix here http://bit.ly/SAc2fd"

Livid CNTRL:R Ableton Live Remote Script Tutorial

Livid CNTRL:R Ableton Live Remote Script Tutorial from Livid Instruments on Vimeo.
We've been so excited about the Stepp:rs that we've never really given a tutorial about the main part of the CNTRL:R Live script.
This video demonstrates, in a dry-but-clear manner, the CNTRL:R in Ableton Live, using the Livid remote script available at
http://blog.lividinstruments.com/2011/04/20/controller-apps/
This script provides control over clip triggering, master volume and pre-hear, track volume and pan, sends and returns, device controls, as well as a lot of other controls to navigate and control your session. We also demonstrate the use of the User MIDI Map slots and how to use those to map to and easily play a drum rack. There's lots of ways to control effects in your set, and we cover them all.

Written documentation of this Ableton Live Remote Script is at
http://wiki.lividinstruments.com/wiki/CNTRLR_Ableton_Live_Remote_Script
Also discussed is the CNTRL:R to Drum rack MIDI Effect which is documented here:
http://wiki.lividinstruments.com/wiki/CNTRLR_To_Drum_Rack_Ableton_Live_Effect
Featured in the video is the Soundhack +delay VST plugin available (along with other great plugins) for free at http://www.soundhack.com

If you want to learn more about using the Max for Live step sequencers, those are covered in other videos on our youtube and vimeo channels.
