Midi/Error!! Releases Robotica Sample Pack on Vinyl

Robotica Sample Pack [12" Vinyl] Test Pressing

Uploaded on Mar 31, 2015 midierror

Is this the first sample pack on vinyl?

"Finally, the test pressing of ROBOTICA has arrived. After many months of work, it`s almost ready for release and sounds amazing!

Preorder your copy here: www.loopmasters.com/products/3363-Roboti­ca"

Some details on the pack via loopmasters:

"Loopmasters welcome back extreme samplist MIDI Error with a brand new Royalty Free sample collection of twisted and abused electronic talking toys.

Mr Error is back to his old tricks tormenting innocent inanimate objects, this time armed with a PZ2 insulated screwdriver and a wet finger he has managed to coax strange garbled electronic noises and words from a collection of dusty electronic toys and games for your listening pleasure.

Every sound in this collection has come from genuinely abused toys mic-ed and hardwired to a chain of devastating audio effects including Bitcrushers, Watkins Tape Delay, Mooger Fooger Pedals and then plumbed into a vintage Reel to Reel tape machine for some warm Analog saturation.

During the last moments of their inevitable death and whilst under heavy interrogation these battery operated kid’s companions spat out their entire vocal range and then some, luckily our sample hero was there to capture it all to tape.

Producers should expect to find a huge range of sounds and tones that include Crunchy Drums, Nasty Glitch Loops, Noisy Melodies and Circuit Bent Hits and Stabs alongside a wicked collection of Synthesised speech including words and phrases from toys as well as some tasty vocoded phrases..."

Korg Electribe ER-1 Drum Machine as a MIDI Sequencer

Published on Jan 20, 2014 midierror·64 videos

"This machine, normally associated with beats, can transmit MIDI notes from each of the drum triggers. I tuned the first seven triggers to the Eb scale, with the further three notes on the lower octave.

The accent control functions in the same way, allowing you to vary it`s relative level.

Second half of the video has the synth output going into the ER-1, allowing the use of `Motion Sequence` and `Tempo Delay` effects."

MIDI/Error!! - NitroGlitch-a-Tron (Circuit bent Yamaha PSS-140)

YouTube Uploaded by midierror on Mar 4, 2012

Midi / Error!! Alternate MIDI Max/MSP Controllers

Midi / Error!! /// phulebox2012 \\\ Multi-Effects Unit - playstation controller + MaxMSP

YouTube Uploaded by midierror on Mar 22, 2010

"This is my final year uni project from a few years back. Its a software multi-effects unit I built in MaxMSP. It is controlled using a playstation controller, and is designed to be used while DJing. That said, it can be used with any input device such as a guitar, mic, drum machine, commodore 64, or minidisc player.

It has had changes made to make the screen more functional and user friendly. The 'engine' routing matrix is now hidden and all its settings can be changed using the directions.

Each of the effects can be fed through one another, or used singularly. The analog sticks control four parameters that can be locked to store placement.

At the time this was amazingly difficult to program, and the front end was a full screen. Its looking swish in MaxMSP5 !"

MIDI / error !! /// Xitar \\\ Xbox 360 Rock Band Guitar as Midi Controller

Midi / Error !! /// Walyx \\\ Wacom Tablet + Max MSP - Controls Amen Break pitch and loop points

Uploaded by midierror on Mar 24, 2010

"This is an illustration of what can be done with a wacom graphics tablet and max msp. Using a max external it picks up the x y axis of the pen and converts it to the pitch (x-axis) and loop end (y-axis). It took about 2 minutes to make this patch. . . . .

The tablet has 3 buttons for on/off states and features pressure sensitivity......therefore a total of 9 parameters can be changed using it. Im going to dig a bit deeper with this idea, and see what I can make; particularly in terms of synth playback."

Midi / Error !! /// X-bovst \\\ Xbox Midi Controller for FM VST using Max MSP

"I wrote this patch for MaxMSP to control the amazing YMVST synth. As you can hear its a great little vst; based on the old YM2149 chips.....you can get it from here:

http://www.preromanbritain.com/ymvst/

Im not too happy with the way this worked out as its controlled mainly by buttons......but im sure someone might appreciate this.

I have also written a patch to control an Astation synth using a Playstation controller......but that is currently getting an overhaul.

respect to gareth morris for a wicked peice o kit !"
