Beepcat Beagleboard-based Synth Demonstration 1

YouTube Uploaded by Cranda11 on Sep 16, 2011

"This is a quick demon of the Beepcat open hardware/software shield concept for Beagleboard. This is a demonstration of the software backbone only. The Akai MPKmini is set up to send specific commands that duplicate the front panel setup of a theoretical Beepcat (eight buttons, eight encoders.) The Beepcat monosynth software is creating the synth sound. The drums are coming from Audio Damage Tattoo."

"No DAW, no MIDI, no computer. Entire track clocked from a single Doepfer LFO. If you're listening to this on laptop speakers, you're only hearing about half of it.

Synthi AKS (with no AKS, obviously.)
Doepfer LFO, Intellijel uStep, Makenoise Réne
Korg MaxiKorg, MS-20, and a MonoTribe for the drums
Eventide TimeFactor, circuit-bent BOSS RRV-10, and Roland Space Echo for effects.

Recorded to TASCAM TSR-8 tape deck."

Update: Cranda11 is Chris Randall, the man behind Analog Industries and Audio Damage. See this post for some additional info on the track.

"For this one, I busted out the TSR-8 tape deck. I'm only using Live for MIDI sequencing in this video. This is all done live, in real time, direct to tape. I then mixed from the deck on a small analog console.

The iPad is stuck in an Alesis iO Dock, and is running Korg iMS-20. This provides the hat and zap sounds in the beginning, and the kick and clap sounds a little later on. The Monotribe is doing the 16th note snare pattern, and the synth arpeggio thing that comes in at 3:30 or so.

The big synth sound in the beginning is the DSI TETR4, and that off-beat digital-sounding sound is the MeeBlip running through my circuit-bent RRV-10. The Doepfer stuff is sequenced by the MakeNoise René, and the real MS-20 is sequenced by the uStep from Intellijel."

BeagleBoard Synth - Proof Of Concept

"This is just a proof of concept of a subtractive 2-osc monosynth running on the BeagleBoard, under MIDI control."

"I set myself a challenge to write, perform, record, and mix a song in three hours, and this is the result.

Gear used: Korg MS20, Korg 770, MeeBlip, DSI TETR4, Eventide TimeFactor, My First Piano, Airline Stratotone guitar, Guild Thunder I Reverb amp, Red Type B mic. Recorded and mixed in Ableton Live, using Audio Damage and DMG Audio plug-ins."

micronaut - experiment four

YouTube Uploaded by Cranda11 on Mar 3, 2011

"The very definition of getting carried away. I bought a Boss RRV-10 reverb last night, and just wanted to test it out to make sure it was all working, and 5 hours later, here we are.

This piece is done with no sequencing at all. A Max patch does the dirty work, and everything you hear except the snare drum is coming from the hardware synths, six of 'em. I'm arranging things by turning specific metro objects on and off in Max via the Korg nanoControl; they're all quantized to the Global Clock."

micronaut - experiment three

Another experiment. This time, a whole raft of Audio Damage plugs (Axon, Phosphor, Tattoo, Replicant, and Discord3) plus two instances of Scape, the new Reaktor ensemble from Twisted Tools. The usual suspects, otherwise."

micronaut - experiment two

follow-up to part 1 here
"http://micronaut.bandcamp.com

The second workflow exploration/live improvisation with this set-up. As with the previous video, the Apple //e with Roland CMU-800R is in the driver's seat. It is providing the drums with its internal sounds, and is controlling the modular synth, the Korg MS-20, and the Yamaha CS-5 (out of frame underneath the MS-20) via CV/Gate.

The main melody line that comes in after a bit is coming from a Reflex MeeBlip, which you can just see sitting on the desk. I'm controlling it with a Snyderphonics Manta controller.

Effects used: Roland RE-201 Space Echo, Eventide TimeFactor delay, Realistic Electronic Reverb delay, Audio Damage Eos reverb, Lexicon 300 reverb."

micronaut - experiment one

YouTube via Cranda11 | January 26, 2011

"http://micronaut.bandcamp.com

Having a bit of fun with the new equipment set-up, and trying to get a feel for the workflow. This piece is entirely sequenced from an Apply //e and Roland CMU-800R. I'm recording in to Ableton Live, but there are no samples or pre-recording. This track is 100% live.

The quick arpeggio sound, drums, and 16th note pulse are coming from the CMU-800R. The low bass note is from a Korg MS20 running through a Roland RE-201 Space Echo, and the main melody sound is coming from the Doepfer modular (in this case a TipTop Audio Z3000 oscillator, plus some Doepfer shit) and running through a Realistic Electronic Reverb and an Eventide TimeFactor. I used a couple instances of Audio Damage Eos for the main reverb inside the DAW, but that's the only computer effect."

"micronaut - metatrak

From the micronaut live pa set; doing a run-through of the set and I recorded this song, just for fun. Gear: Snyderphonics Manta controller, Dave Smith Instruments TETR4, Eventide TimeFactor, Ableton Live, a whole slew of Audio Damage plug-ins.

The song is from the micronaut EP "Resistor," which is available at Bandcamp.

DroneStation Demo

"This is a quick demonstration of DroneStation, my new app for the iPhone/Touch. A 2-oscillator synth, with an unique multi-touch interface that will hopefully make it more playable than trying to peck away at a little keyboard."

micromov004 - Assemblage #1

"Assemblage #1 is music set to a repurposed industrial video courtesy of the Prelinger Archives. Gear used: Roland MKS-80, Elektron MachineDrum, Soniccouture and Goldbaby samples, Audio Damage plugins"

SRR!

YouTube via Cranda11. BTW, don't forget about 45 Tribute.
"Working out some songs for a micronaut live PA. This is SRR!, a new track I'm just ironing out the bugs on. The end result almost certainly won't be seven minutes long. And it won't have my elbow blocking the lense for half of it either."

"This is a memetic version of a Micronaut song I'm working on, Factor1. Obviously, I'm just dicking around with the parts at this point, but most of the song is there, at least in baby form."
