"Merry Christmas 2012 from TauCeti (a.k.a. Enrico Cosimi) and Mario Bianco (a.k.a. Marco2 a.k.a. Marco Ciccotti). May have peace, love, music and analog stuff."
"This is my first ever tutorial style video. Showing how easy it is to use apps that don't support Audiobus (yet) with Audiobus now by using two devices, a guitar interface, and a 3.5mm cord.
I don't own the rights to any of the apps I used. Please look them up on the appstore, buy them and be blown away. :-)
As for the Guitar interface, I am using iRig (with tape to cover the logo), but I don't recommend it. It was the only one available to me where I live. Please buy something else.
"plog comprises two programmable logic sections (select one of six different 3 input boolean logic types) as well as a toggle flipflop and data flipflop block. all four sections are linked together via specially planned normals.
specifications:8hp and skiff friendly
this module was primarily designed as an interesting tool to be used with sequencers. you can derive complex rhythmic sequences from basic sparse sources (e.g. from a simple gate sequence or clock). by adding vc control of the logic types via some kind of cv source like a triggered envelope, lfo or sequencer you produce even more complex results.this module can also be used in many other creative applications including making interesting timbres and for self generating patches..."
"Sequential Circuits Pro One (the better J-Wire Version). It has been fully serviced and the J-wirer have been cleaned. All of the switches and pots have been cleaned. It sounds great and also looks great as it is super clean with no scratches or marks on it..."
"Korg Polysix analog synthesizer keyboard with midi In only. It has been serviced and all the battery leakage has been cleaned up and is now fully functional. The power supply was recently recapped..."
"This is a fully functional Arp Odyssey MK2 2813 Classic Analog Synthesizer for a great price. They are currently selling for $1000 more than this in stores here in NYC. This unit was recently calibrated by Jeff Blenkinsopp at EARS NYC who said it was one of the most in tune Odysseys he'd ever played."
"From Blacet:
The Blacet FX3030 is a DSP dual effect module featuring eight different classic effects, each coupled with a reverb
effect.
The effects are: echo (delay), echo with repeats (regeneration), chorus, flanger, phase shifter, tremolo, vibrato, and
auto wah, which is a level dependent filter.
Four voltage control inputs can be used to select the effect type, two parameters of the effect and the reverb level.
Input and Output Level controls allow matching the module to a wide range of signal levels typical in a modular
synthesizer environment. An LED monitors the clipping level."
"Yes, that's what came in my mind when I was playing this track.
This track reflects my mind and my good old studio (I had a lot of technical problems with it the last few weeks). It's the last track of this year and a good reflection after 4 years YT vids. The future brings new changes and challenges.
About the track:
It started whit a Doepfer Dart Time generated sequence (Moog LP and the Waldorf micro Q), a lovely Kawai K1r flute, at ± 2:00 the strings of the Korg 03R/W, at ± 4:00 a FM.piano from the DS8, at 7:15 the MG1 Concertmate, at ± 9:00 the combinated lush sound of the Juno 106 and the 03R/W and at ± 10:00 a DS8 solo. Between are the strings of the good old Korg Lambda.
I wish everbody the best for next year, in health, friendship and family.
"A little bit of everything here:
- VCOs are Krisp1/Oakley and SSL Double Dekas.
- Some Super Sawtor action on the Krisp1/Oakley.
- STG Soundlabs provides Sea Devils filter action.
- Dotcom Noise sources and SSL Quad LFOs provide pseudo-random waveforms into the Dotcom sample & hold and Dotcom Quantizer.
- Echo and distortion effects courtesy of the Analog Craftsman's Delay and Gristleizer modules.
- STG's Active Attenuator is a constant voltage source.
- Waveform imaging by the SSL Jones O'Tool.
Plus a smidgen of reverb courtesy of some oh-so-craptacular Alesis mixer."
"In this study the piano is prepared by inserting "m.u.s.c.l.e. men", (cool figurines from the 80's) between the strings, as well as my normal preparation for creating the low kick drum sound. To my delight others lounging around nearby inside the Piano case started leaping around due to the vibrating strings.......and luckily were captured on film by "mild eye". All live solo piano playing, no multi-tracking or looping devices allowed. Scores available on request.
Taken from a series of piano pieces exploring the notion that the traditional piano can create sounds and textures which are normally only found in dance and electronic music. Drum, percussion and bass are created by inserting various objects such as wood, metal and Blu-Tak between the strings and are played "sequencer" style in the left hand while the right adds polymetric patterns and isorhythms of varying length. No looping device is used, the idea being everything is "live" and played in real time, the piano as "modern one-man-band-electro-acoustic-orchestra"....
The piano spans the centuries, traditional technique melding with modern sound design in real time.
By adding a Moog analog delay, analog filter and playing in a strictly rhythmic, quasi mechanistic way the piano can also be transformed into a unique acoustic/electronic live "human techno sequencer" device......
Musical cybernetics, absorbing the machines "feel" that has shaped much of modern electronic music into the biological pianistic mechanism."

The Duo_ is a Modular Synth with portable case, compact design and pure analogue sound. No pre-connection and a 80-patchbay jacks you can basically create everything, but the charm are the complex patches for extremely unusual modulations, clicks, bleeps & laboratory sound, anyway is possible make fat bass lines, leads or the characteristic retro sound of Vintage Synths. It´s a friendly start in the world of modulars, but also is a good complement to your system!

"Soundlogo made for fun - using only my synthesizers.com modular (multitracked)- except the vocal effect.. No connection with Roger at synthesizers.com (except instrument used) - just me fooling around." A bit THX.
"Mostly dotcom - but drums are linndrum samples played via Yamaha A3000 and there is a little bit of Roland JV-1010 [pads]"
"What's better than making music? Making music with a friend of course! And doing it instead of working, like Kalle and Mattias...
With ReBirth for iPad's Duo mode two people can make squelchy techno music on the same iPad. Connect ReBirth to other equipment with MIDI Sync, or enable WIST sync to bring Figure or other WIST-enabled apps into the mix."
iMPC ! Official New Drum Machine App for iPad! - Part A - First Look and Beat Making
Published on Dec 22, 2012 by VJFranzK
"It's here, it's Real - Hip Hop's most legendary drum machine in iOS form, also used in Electro ( and now Dubstep. ) Here is my first look review and demonstration of the "iMPC" App from Akai - subscribe, and stay tuned for more."
"Rate!! Subscribe!! Comment!! This is the first half of my "more advanced Omnisphere" programming tutorial. It was supposed only be 1 but it became TOOOO long so I made it into 2. ENJOY!"
"The name might be misleading because, yes in some knob positions you will get the classic 909 kick, but there is way more in there, it's really a little bass drum lab with a lot of sweet spots. It can go low, high/smooth/harsh, and anywhere in between; it can also go weird with the VC inputs. If you are used to the BD808 then this will take a bit to get used to because it is a different beast, although with some adjustment you might get close sounds. The pcb is very dense with a lot of circuitry and it wasn't easy to fit all that in there but it sure was worth the challenge. We are making a short run for Christmas that's starting to ship today, but will have more ready to ship in January.
Features:
Output Level - 0 - 10V
Original 909 Attack control
Extended 909 Decay control for more umphhh
New controls for the oscillator tuning:
Attack tune
Decay Tune - these two will have an effect on each other which makes it really cool
Global Oscillator Tune control - this sets an offset for the oscillator, sets the starting frequency for the envelope
VC-Tune with attenuator (can go over a wide range)
Overload knob - might not be everyone's cup of tea, what it does is overload the sine shapers which adds harmonics and some extra punch, it's an aggressive effect.
"The world only ended for those who made profit from the Mayan calendar stupidity. Meanwhile, I am starting a new 'cycle' of my own in working on beginning work on my next album.
This is my first attempt at a performance video, and I have no good tools for this. Please be kind."
"Your hearing the Makenoise DPO modulated by a Hertz Donut and into Makenoise EchoPhone. The feedback loop on the Echo is patched through a Bubble Sound SEM20 filer. An Axe-FX is being used for basic chorus and reverb. Sequencing is the Doepfer DarkTime. There is some manipulation of VCAs and the like in there too."
"Have you ever really though about time? Not just seconds or minutes or hours, but deep time - timescales where a million years is a blink of an eye. Have you ever thought about how truly old you are?
We are a conglomeration of dust from perhaps millions of dead stars, galaxies apart. When our star dies and blasts our little speck of planet back out into the universe, it will be just another renewal. Like blowing the dust off a table so that it can settle once again.
We are dust.
