Cooking with MIDI

"I installed a MIDI port in my microwave and now I use it to cook corn dogs.

Mostly I was testing out my new Midify board and wanted to see if you could use it to control home appliances. It turns out you can.

FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR DEMO NUMBER FOUR

YouTube via redmartian
"Here is a fourth demo which features a LP and HP triangle wave arpeggiation nearly through out and a quick EG three oscillator bass. The drum kit is the same as in the other demos with no pitch changes or other processing, just dry sounds out of the VCA. There are two leads one is just two oscillators (saw) and the second has a square and a saw with the saw slight modulated by an LFO with high resonance on the filter.

The bass and arpeggiation were played and quantized in logic. The leads were recorded as played."

GEKIGANGER - THE TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY OF THE FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR

YouTube via redmartian http://mattsonminimodular.com/ http://gekiganger.org/
"LET'S GEKIGA IN!

After two years of using my MMM (the first production unit) and getting my setup that allowed an efficient work flow I discovered I ran out of room .. and that isn't just because I ordered 3 sequencer units.

Also, I worked very closely with the ICHABOD system and I enjoyed that so much that when I went back to mine it seemed limited. I didn't want to have a system as large as Billy's, but I wanted to have some of the form. Originally George and I talked about putting 3 standard MMM cabinets on their side and make a long row. However, due to budget constraints it was easier to just go with what was already established for ICHABOD and work from there.

Ultimately I'll have a single tier (the size of four MMM cabinets) plus the ability to mount my original MMM case as flanking wings.

So what does this have to do with GETTER ROBO or the mythical GEKIGANGER? There are going to be three of three of these setups with three owners. When they're all attached to each other they turn into a giant robot that smashes stuff and shoots its arms off and things."

RED MARTIAN: RETRAILING (Featuring Ichabod) - Release Event in Seattle Tomorrow!

Published on Sep 18, 2015 Redmartian

Red Martian is having their album release event at the Seattle Living Computer Museum this Saturday. You might remember their recent performance there where they covered Kraftwerk. The track above was composed on Ichabod when Stephen Jones of Red Martian was helping George Mattson test Ichabod during its construction. Note Ichabod will not be at the event as it currently resides with Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, but you are sure to see a great live performance with synths.

Video Description:
"A new album of 13 electronic pieces. The first 100 will be given away as gifts at SRGE: Arcade Armageddon September 19th, 2015 at the Living Computer Museum. Red Martian performs at 8:30pm on the main stage.

Track listing:
[Tracks 09 and 10 were composed on Ichabod, 03 on the Syntar, 04 on the MMM, and 07 on the Solaris.]

01 cowboy and the vocoder [see this post - great track with a sad story]
02 nedan omloppsbana
03 närmar snöblandat regn
04 av död (delorean)
05 retrailing
06 flytta hav av is
07 känner mig så låg
08 風の谷のナウシカ
09 utan hjärta *
10 bedövande en översvämning *
11 ひょろり
12 se io m'accorgo
13 ett vykort

improvised live on the custom Mattson Mini Modular named Ichabod."

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."

"With Ichabod on the burn in test bench earlier in the Summer at MMM headquarters working with the breadboarded sequencer (will be available in a few months) and two foot pedals to control the filters and volume control. I'm using the Voltage Controlled Control Voltage mixers with some gate mixing to produce the triggers for the percussion sounds. Audio was direct to 2 track stereo with some reverb."
