"mfb drum99 ser# 1 (discontinued)

the drum-99 module is an audio-mixer that has been designed for the modules of the mfb-drum series but also for usage with other manufacturer's modules. when using multiple drum-modules in a modular system, the following processing stages like filters or vcas often lack enough audio inputs. to route a complete drum-set through a filter, a separate mixer like the drum-99 comes handy.

drum-99 offers five monaural inputs with individual level control. tiny trim-controls are used to set the channel panorama position for the internal stereo-bus.

a fixed level stereo-input can accommodate the signal of one or more additional drum-99 modules. these inputs can also be used with the drum-06 module (tom tom) that also offers a stereo-output.

all five mono signals and the stereo-input are routed to the stereo-output that can be connected to two vcas, filters or other sound manipulating devices. the output may also be used to connect the drum-99 to a mixing-console or audio-interface.

the stereo-output is designed for a possible summing with additional stereo-outputs.

the module has a width of 60 mm (12ph)"

The keyboard doesn't track on this one for some reason.

via the listing: "The unit turns on and makes sound but its only producing the same sound on all the keys. Even if you press different keys, they only produce the same single pitched tone. All the keys appear to be responding however.

So below are the list of functions that I was able to test and know that are working/responding.
- VCO, SUB OSC, NOISE
- All three WAVEFORMS and PWM slider.
- ENV-1
- VCA HOLD
- CUTOFF FREQ and RESONANCE
- NOISE WHITE / PINK
- HPF CUTOFF FREQ slider

These above seems fine, but everything else was basically unable to be tested and/or don't know if they work."

NAMM 2013: New Additions to iKlip Range of Stands for iOS & Android Devices

Published on Jan 28, 2013
More information: http://ikmultimedia.com/iklip and http://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/top-news/?item_id=1980

iKlip on eBay

"IK Multimedia is proud to announce five new accessories in its popular iKlip™ mounting solution line up: iKlip 2 for iPad and iPad mini, iKlip Stand for iPad and iPad mini and iKlip Studio now for iPad mini.

iKlip 2 - Available for iPad and iPad mini

The sequel to the original iKlip, the most popular iPad microphone stand mounting accessory, the new iKlip 2 provides a safe and sturdy method for attaching all types of iPad (from iPad 2nd generation and later) to a microphone stand. It features a new ball-joint design that can be adjusted vertically and horizontally to find just the right viewing angle, and can be quickly rotated between portrait and landscape mode without using tools. Plus the new iKlip 2 supports stands or poles with larger diameters of up to 1.2" and has a new streamlined mounting system that can be up and running in seconds

iKlip Stand - Available for iPad and iPad mini

This new desktop stand mounts the iPad above the desktop so users can position any type of equipment (like music keyboards, mixers, DJ gear etc...) under it for quick access and viewing while playing. It provides a more efficient use of desktop space and a more comfortable ergonomic setup.

iKlip Studio - for iPad mini

The sister version to the very popular iKlip Studio for iPad, iKlip Studio for iPad mini, is a tabletop stand designed for use on flat surfaces with apps that require energetic tapping and beat making. It securely holds an iPad mini but also other 7" tablet in place with non-slip rubber grip feet, and features adjustable viewing/playing angles from near-vertical for reading or viewing score and tab, to near horizontal for sequencing, energetically tapping out rhythms, or intense gaming."

MATRIXSYNTH NAMM 2013: Pittsburgh Modular at the Noisebug Booth

Uploaded on Jan 29, 2013 matrixsynth·249 videos

My first stop at NAMM was the Noisebug booth starting with Pittsburgh Modular. As I previously posted I was intrigued by their new offerings which presented eurorack modular systems as self contained stand alone synthesizers rather than individual modules.  In my opinion, this format helps break one of the psychological barriers behind getting into modulars.  Rather than starting with an empty case and contemplating what modules to fill it with, you can essentially by a desktop synth, get your hands wet to see if you are comfortable with modulars and then expand from there.  Richard goes into this perspective, why he decided to create these systems and what each is geared for.  Unfortunately they were not patched up for an audio demo at the time.  You'll find details on each in my previous post and of course the Pittsburgh Modular website.  At the booth, pictured below, are the various configurations of the Cell 48, the Cell 90, the Pittsburgh Modular Foundation, and the Foundation with Expander.  Click each for the super size shot.

MATRIXSYNTH NAMM 2013 Posts

Now that the NAMM storm is subsiding, my coverage will be going up over the next few days.  I have a ton of uploading to do.  Note this is just an informational post to let you know how I cover NAMM; no product insights or reflections, they will come with the individual posts, so you can skip this one if you want.  That said, my posts will have MATRIXSYNTH NAMM 2013: in the title so you can differentiate them from the others.  Each post will focus on a specific manufacturer and/or booth, one post per manufacturer/booth.  At the end of all the posts I'll upload all of the images to Flickr to create one massive NAMM gallery there.  The images will be higher quality on Flickr as Blogger appears to limit the size of uploaded pics, but don't worry, the Blogger pics are still plenty big.  Posts will go up in the order each booth was visited. Note the order is not preferential in any way, nor are any videos.  The order is just what I visited while walking around with appointments in mind and I held back from taking any standard presentation videos to save time as I knew they would be covered by others and featured on the site.

To give you a little background on how I cover NAMM, as you know by now, I pretty much post everything that comes in.  This is good for content creators who want to promote their sites, it is good for you in that you get to see more rather than just my coverage,  and it's good for me because it saves me time and allows me to focus on other things while at NAMM, which in turn is good for you because it allows me to cover things that might have been missed otherwise.  I do have a few things I haven't seen elsewhere yet.  Not new gear, just different perspectives, demos and tons of pics.

Feel free to post my pics, video and coverage elsewhere, just mention where it's from like I do for others in every post I put up.  Other site owners are welcome to post my pics, videos and any quotes.

Side note: NAMM broke the record number of posts for a single day on the site this last Saturday with a whopping 115 posts i a single day.  I hope the coverage wasn't too overwhelming, but honestly, that pretty much sums up the NAMM experience.  The repeat presentations should also give you a little insight that most visitors at NAMM miss - the role of the presenter giving the same presentation over and over again.  Visitors typically only have time to see them once, and for them it's always the first and only time.  Not so for presenters.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the posts!

Beat Thang Tips - Sequencing a beat with MIDI controller input

An Interview with Paddy Kingsland of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

You'll find the full interview on Astronauta Pinguim, including mentions of Delia Derbyshire & Daphne Oram.

BTW, today is Paddy Kingsland's birthday.  Happy Birthday Mr. Kingsland!  :)

Pictured: Paddy Kingsland and the EMS Synthi 100 (the Delaware)

"Patrick 'Paddy' Kingsland was born in Hampshire (England) on January 30th, 1947. He took piano lessons in his youth and got his first guitar when he was 15. By this time he also built his own valve amplifier and began to play in a band in his school days. After attending Eggars Grammar School in Alton, Hampshire, Paddy joined the BBC. He was a technician there until, in 1970, he had the chance to join the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the famous department that was responsible for providing the soundtrack and sound effects to BBC radio and TV shows. Paddy worked there for 11 years and created the music for many programs, including "The Changes", "The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and several episodes of 'Doctor Who'!

"In 1973, BBC Records released the album 'Fourth Dimenson'. Although it was credited to The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, "Fourth Dimension" is the first solo album released by Paddy Kingsland and includes tracks that he recorded from 1970 to 1973, using mainly the EMS synthesizers VCS3 and Synthi 100 (the Delaware)..."

You can still find the release on Amazon and eBay.

The first synth to enter the BBC? "The first synthesizer arrived in 1970 - an EMS VCS3. It was great for learning about voltage control and making sounds, but no good for playing tunes on. The Arp Odyssey which came a bit later was much better for that."

"The Eurorack Noise Swash is a chaotic random noise-maker and CV generator, generating its own sounds or working as an audio processor. As a stand-alone device it generates unpredictable continuously morphing oscillations on the Audio Output jack, and random CV fluctuations out the dual-direction "Mood CV" jack. A second CV input jack controls the Swash and Noisegate sections with positive and negative CV voltage. An audio input jack allows for distorting an audio signal beyond recognition, or using audio to trigger and modulate the chaos. The Swash knob is a 10-turn Bournes pot for adjusting minor variations. Each Swash has its own peculiarly unique sound."
