AniModule VCSS Voltage Controlled Scanner

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Published on Dec 1, 2012 JRock17991·12 videos

"A short demonstration of the basic functions of the AniModule Voltage Controlled Scanner/Switch"

via this auction

"AniModule VCSS (Voltage Controlled Scanner/Switch)

8hp ~ 40mm deep
This Module has 4 inputs and 1 output.
The inputs accept Bipolar signals (audio) OR DC (CVs).
The input channel routed to the output is selected by the voltage patched to either the DC or the AC jack.
The Offset pot allows you to adjust the offset of the incoming CVs.
The DC jack has an attenuator to allow you to scale the CVs.
The AC jack is scaled for ~10Vp-p.
This module will function properly all the way into super sonic frequencies.

I’ve had fun by patching the LP,BP,HP and Notch outs of my SOB into the four inputs and VC’ing the VCSS with a sine wave running at the same rate as the square wave I have patched in to the SOB Input.

So for every ON/OFF of the Square Wave, the VCSS cycles through LP,BP,HP,Notch,HP,BP,LP

You might think about patching 4 sequencers in to it and VC’ing it with a Sample and Hold or Logic, for an ever-evolving melody…"

Record any sound, and play it back on the keyboard as an instrument or using Virtual MIDI! Record anything and turn it into something musical and creative. For example, record one note from a guitar, and instantly can play any note from that guitar.

VoKey is a powerful, easy to use sampler. Import and export from your computer, manipulate the waveform with the touch screen, timeshift to sync all of the notes when playing chords... Record your performances, and play them back with the most dynamic and versatile piano on the iPad or iPhone.

UNIQUE FEATURES

• Waveform Selection - Drag your finger over the waveform to quickly edit the sample to use on the keyboard.

• Map to Keys - Select multiple regions of a sample to be mapped to separate keys on the keyboard.

• Web Interface - Upload and customize your VoKEY samples from a local computer.

• Virtual MIDI receive over WiFi - Use an external MIDI keyboard with VoiceKeyboard

• 13 Reverb effects with wet/dry adjustment

• Compatible with the IK Multimedia iRig Mic, for high quality recordings

• Sound Modes:
The Timeshifting (or Timestretching) option allows simultaneously played notes to be in sync and the same duration, making the samples sound harmonious and musical when played together.

• Automatic Sample Trimming
This version automatically recognizes and removes the silence or "dead air" at the beginning and end of the recorded sample, making the keyboard very responsive.

• Audio Normalization
Normalization increases the loudness of your recordings to a maximum level without introducing any new distortion.

• Sustain and Looping.
Control how the recorded samples are looped and sustained, when played on the keyboard.

"VoKey is a Sampler and Keyboard. It can also be used to control or be controlled by another App by using the Virtual Midi feature. So, let's have a look at it and its features. To record a sound, you have to use the built in microphone on your iDevice or an Audio interface. You can also import (and export) samples by using iTunes or the Wifi file sharing. Note that an AudioBus feature would be really great... Once your recorded sample is be analyzed, it will be displayed as a "paint" waveform. 2 colours: Red & Blue. These colours will help you to edit your sample very fast. For example, you will be able to Map to the keyboard all the Blue segments of your waveform, to delete all the Red ones, or to switch to the next segment... Save your Sample when you are ok with it. You will be also able to Timestretch, Normalize, Reverse, loop your samples and add a Reverb (13 presets). You will be able to record your performances and save them (Unfortunately, you can't share your performances). VoKey is very well done. You can use it to create a sound very quickly, a new instrument and or play voice chords.... I would really like to have the AudioBus feature. A master volume would also be good because when you use VoKey to control another App or as an expander, it can be a little annoying without a master volume. VoKey is a Super App, it can also be rated as a Killer App, it only depends on your expectations of it. I think that VoKey will be in my recording gear for the Peace Project.... So I rate it as a Killer App even if it lacks some features..."

Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Vs Korg MS-10 & SQ-10 (edited version)

Published on Feb 6, 2013 DJjondent·166 videos

Unedited version below.
"My first recording of the Metasonix S1000 Wretch.
The S-1000 is a beast.

the equipment used:
One Metasonix S1000 Wretch Machine
One Korg MS-10
One Korg SQ-10 sequencer

I've bypassed the S-1000's own filters & waveshapers.
The sound is just the Wretch's two valve VCOs filtered through the MS-10 lowpass filter.
No midi here.
Everything is sequenced and modulated the old fashioned way.

I used the Korg stuff as it's hertz/volt not the usual 1V/octave.
I reckon it sounds better.

The unedited version of this recording is here:"

NAMM 2013: Jomox Akasha Synth Sound Art at NAMM

Published on Feb 5, 2013 vidjoyogi·7 videos

"A short demo at NAMM of the first Akasha Synth object. It's a modular system with geometric shapes in order to build sounding 3D art objects. The modules or nodes provide analog sound circuits and a digital interconnection that can be controlled by Midi. Touch sensitive pads and bright LEDs show the interconnection VCAs and their modulations. There are triangles, squares and pentagons to obtain any platonic or irregular body or planes.

The synth line comes from the Akasha Modules, it's synced to an XBASE 999 and controlled by Midi CCs or the internal touch sensitive pads.

New Hans Zimmer Studio Pics by Peter Gorges

flickr By Peter Gorges

Top: "Taken today - I got to spend some time here all by myself. Been here a hundred times but the place still has the same effect on me that Cathedrals had when I was a kid.

7-exposure HDR, mapped in Photomatix, treated in Niksoftware Color Effects."


Bottom: "Another shot of Oscar-awarded film composer Hans Zimmers out-of-this-world studio.
Hard to believe, but it takes HDR to capture this room - conventional camera sensors fail miserably. The whole room is just dark, light-absorbing surfaces (velvet, wood) and a few pointed light sources. There's no way to just 'take a photo of it'.

"This image is created from 6 exposures (0.7 bracketing), processed in Photomatix Pro, with tons of subtle manual color and light corrections in Niksoftware Viveza, and some Nik Sharpener Pro."

Synth spotting: Aside from the Moog and Roland library walls there's RSF in there, stacks of Roland MKS-80s, a Hartmann Neuron, Alesis Ion, Waldorf Q and XT racks, and... he has a Schmidt. On the right, there's a Roland MKS-80 with MPG-80 programmer under the XT and I'm not sure what that is with a blue LCD and red LEDs underneath. I thought it might be a Novation Nova or Supernova, but their screens have two rows, one with the name of the patch and one with the number of the patch.

You can find the original giantor size shots on flickr.

Doepfer MAQ16/3 Sequencer - Direction via MIDI

direction via midi from N K on Vimeo.
"This video simply shows that it is possible to switch direction of an Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequence from random to forward with the forward section starting from step 1. Normally, the forward section would start from the last random step. Start from step 1 was achieved with a series of MIDI commands from DAW sequencer (in this case Ableton Live) sent to the MAQ."
