"I wrote a synthesizer "server" for the iPhone that can be controlled over Wi-Fi, as well as a Mac client to parse the MIDI data from my controller and send it over UDP.

By sticking the phone in my mouth it functions as a very awkward talkbox (and I thought enunciating with the Banshee was hard...). The slight network lag makes my timing a little weird on the keys. Even so, it's pretty fun to play with.

I'm performing the theme from classic DOS game Commander Keen: Aliens Ate My Babysitter

"Sequentix - P3 Sequencer

P3 provides everything you ever wanted to have in a analog style sequencer but the most inspirational feature (for me personally) with the P3 are the super deep algorithmic compositional and sequencing features that provide you with absolutely fantastic possibilities to make evolving melodic and rhythmic patterns that never seem to repeat. Its like having a full fledged free jazz band at your disposal but you have the knob to control how much they improvise! You can have the lead notes be stolen or swapped by the bass notes or mental drum hits muted and repeated and affected by any and all of the other patterns. It is crazy! And the best thing is that when you switch a pattern you completely change the behavior of the track by introducing a full new set of rules. It is like a max msp algorithmic composing environment in a self contained box! Also when making music with the P3 you become lighting fast in it and are really able immerse yourself with the machine.

This particular unit is in MINT condition, never gigged and has had a home in a smoke free studio. The surface contains absolutely no scratches, dents or unwanted marks of any kind. All pots and switches feel like brand new. Rack mounting kit is also included yet not pictured.

This unit is a factory built by Sequentix. Some P3 units have had problems with the scree failing and going dead. The screen in this unit has been upgraded and works flawlessly!

The unit features the latest V4.5 operating system (a major revision!) that add tons of user friendly features well beyond the capabilities of the original P3.

FEATURES:

The P3 Sequencer is an 8 track, hardware MIDI sequencer, with a user interface comprised of knobs, keys and LEDs. A sixteen character by two line PLED display provides confirmation of pattern data and access to advanced features and configuration options.

P3 allows real-time control of track mutes and simple pattern or pattern chain selection across multiple tracks, plus analogue-style editing of patterns. Each of its 384 patterns has independent values for note, velocity, tie, gate, length, gate delay, and a combination of up to four MIDI controllers, extra notes, or 'auxiliary events', per step.

P3's unique auxiliary events allow the creation of dynamically self-modifying patterns. They can grab values from other tracks, randomizes steps, alter track and global settings, and much more. There are three modulation 'accumulators' per track, that can be used as LFOs, perform arpeggiation effects or enable complex pattern progressions.
Furthermore, you can assign front panel knobs to modify or mask these events in real-time, allowing you to create interactive patterns that change predictably as you adjust the knobs - varying in complexity, controlling levels of randomness, even 'morphing' from one pattern to another.

A Force-to-scale option provides preset and user-defined scales to keep everything in key (but defeat-able per pattern step if required), and a configurable 'change mode' allows patterns with different lengths and/or time-bases to free-run, or be synced to a global bar.
