KRAFTWERK tribute to Florian Schneider 1947 - 2020

Published on May 9, 2020 Redmartian

"These are just a few clips I posted on Mastodon as a tribute to Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider. They feature some elements that brought his personality and humor to the band. His skill as a radio telegrapher featured in Radioactivity. While they repeat the main lyrics "tune into the melody" becomes "tune into the KRAFTWERK" in morse code. His use of the vocoder and mellotron on Radioland and of course the Texas Instruments Language Tutor which was featured on Computerworld.

These are just in the moment posts, mostly 1 minute or less made for social media and are not complete cover versions. All backing music was recreated and sequenced using MIDI or played live on vintage analog synths."

Each band member is built using Lego Bionicle and Technic pieces.

It's a system of electric motors, rubber bands and pulleys connected to the figures arms that allows them to play an array of different touchable synthesizers, drum machines, smartphones and electronic percussions."

DOEPFER MAQ 16 ANALOG MIDI SEQUENCER

via this auction
"This is the classic doepfer sequencer. sequence cv and midi synths at the same time. I believe Florian Shneider of Kraftwerk helped with the original design. It has a great funky feel to it and perfect for classic electro sequences. Its also easy to edit and quick to come up with creative sequences, being it has midi it can send velocity data which is really cool for those digital or hybrid synths that receive it. it can even send program changes per step which is very fun. This is a new model with the blue led's, as new condition.

The main feature of the maq is the real time access to the sequence via 48 rotary potentiometers grouped in 3 rows of 16 dials each. all important parameters like first/last step, midi event type, midi channel, forward/backward/random/pendulum mode, gate time, tempo and so on are independently assigned to each row and can be changed in real time while the sequence is running. this enables very complex sequences. the rows may not only be used for generating note events but also other important midi events or for controlling the length of time for each step. of course the maq allows the synchronisation via midi clock, start and stop either as master or as slave.
