How I did it - Episode 2 - Altair 8800 as a drum machine

How I did it - Episode 2 - Altair 8800 as a drum machine from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"Today's show is all about drums!
The Altair8800 now works as a 8 steps drum machine, with 8 voices!

The sense switches are used as channels' ON/OFF and each one of the 8 steps programmed in the sequence outputs a byte (used as a binary number instead of a MIDI note number) which I've used inside max to trigger all the drum kit samples. As usual the interface is programmed in MaxMSP and it communicates with the Altair with a serial to usb connection.

Easy and way funny!!

see you in the next episode, and may the assembly be with you!

buchla etude eight

buchla etude eight from todd barton on Vimeo.

"Randomly cycling through a self-generating patch with five variations. Developed on a small Buchla 200e system. Main oscillators are 259e and 261e."

via Todd Barton aka vgermuse

"Inspired by Giorgio Sancristoforo’s recent self-generating Buchla patch in the classic electronic music style, I put together this brief, modest etude. I’m always amazed by the delicacy, power, elegance, gnarl and grit of just two Buchla oscillators!

The modules:

266e-259e-261e-281e-292e-291e-285e-206e

Randomly cycling through a self-generating patch with five variations.

A couple of minor edits for better continuity and a bit of SoundToys echo/reverb.

"Berna 3 early electronic music studio simulation is coming!

The 1950s studio gets a complete restyle and many new devices.

"THE LEGACY
I remember in 2009, when I was working at the first release of Berna, that first and foremost, Berna was my love letter to the RAI Studio di Fonologia Musicale, the electronic music studios of the national radio and television of Italy, founded in 1954 by the composers Bruno Maderna and Luciano Berio.
The Studio di Fonologia has been an obsession for me for many years. It was the better equipped electronic music studios of the 50s, with a lot of devices created ad hoc by the Italian Physicist Alfredo Lietti, who literally scavenged the RAI warehouses to collect all the electronic parts from broken or unused devices. The Studio was directed by Berio and Maderna, first, then by Luigi Nono, and for me these three composers are the sacred trinity of the classic Italian avant-garde. I immensely love their work and their legacy.
But behind the buttons and the mixer console, there was always the prototype of the modern sound engineer and producer: Marino Zuccheri, the technician in white coat that assisted the composers and very often created the sounds of the masterpieces of Italian electronic music. Zuccheri has been an immense inspiration for me, as a sound technician myself, and to his legacy I, once again, dedicate this new version of Berna.

Introducing Fantastic Voyage - Portable Cosmic Studio - Virtual 4 Track Tape w/ Effects

Introducing Fantastic Voyage from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

From the maker of GleetchDrone, GleetchlabX, Berna 2, and Radioaktivnost.

"Imagine a 4 track studio with integrated realtime infinite stretching, glitch, tape echo, filter, luscious reverb, modulators and looper!

Use it with guitars (include VST hosting for amp simulation and other processors), microphones, synths, anything!

Onstage as a live tool or while travelling as a portable studio for amazing experiments.

While home, you can still travel in the outer/inner space!

Introducing Berna 2.0 - 1950s Electronic Music Studio

Introducing Berna 2.0 - 1950s Electronic Music Studio from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"Part of my artist activity includes creating experimental music software.
Today I am proud to announce the coming of Berna V2.0, a major upgrade.

Berna 2.0, not only has a new stunning and realistic UI but it includes also new processors like the Comparator, an 18 bands 1/3 Octave FilterBank and an 18 Bands Vocoder, plus new Tone Burst Generator, two Dynamic Modulators, new Reverb, new Frequency Shifter (with modulator input), new FM Oscillator (with modulator input) and 8 new Complex Oscillators!

Berna is a software simulation of a late 1950s electroacoustic music studio. Oscillators, filters, modulators, tape recorders, mixers, are all packed in a easy-to-use interface with historical accuracy.
Explore serial music, musique concrète and tape music or create new strange sonic worlds with instruments inspired by the greatest studios of the early days of electronic music.

Are you ready to meet the grandfather of the synthesizer?

The Arcane Pillar

The Arcane Pillar from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"The Arcane Pillar is an hermetic musical instrument based on Neural Networks and Western Esotericism.

To make it work, one must answer a number of enigmas, collect sounds of fire, water, air and earth, and finally balance them with different processes designed at each grade.
No user manual is given, but the γνῶσις that unlock the enigmas, is quite well documented on books and in the web if one knows how and what to seek...
Cheating is futile, for only understanding the enigmas presented, their meaning and consequences, it is possible to put in practice the knowledge and set in motion the inner logic of the instrument...

Currently in Alpha state."

Note this is slated as a software release, not mobile/iOS/Android.

Altair Sequencer Project - How I did it - #00 hello world

How I did it - #00 hello world from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"The altair says hello to Max!

The idea is simple: to make music with the Altair 8800
The first commercial Personal Computer made in 1975.
In the following episodes I will
• Interface the Altair with MaxMSP via serial port
- programming a drum machine in assembly
- program a generative orchestra in assembly and or MBASIC
- Explore OSC routing to other software (Processing), upd comms.
• Interface the Altair with an analog synthesizer: a Buchla Music Easel by using arduino and a breadboard.
The quest for controlling Max will be the first step, later I will dedicate the project to analog synths.
I'm going to post every episode here and on my website (giorgiosancristoforo.net)
I will explain every single byte and strategy of programming and share the Max patches for Windows and Mac OS.
so that 8080 enthusiasts could replicate the whole process.
It will be also a nice opportunity for electronic musicians to understand simple and fun microprocessors' programming techniques.
Any help, comments and critics from retrocomputing and assembly lovers, is more than welcome.
