Live Lab - Tablet 2 Midi and Live Slice

In via Dale Kay on Synth Sights. More reason for me to get a tablet.

Tablet 2 Midi


"Tablet 2 Midi allows you to use your tablet / digitizer as a MIDI controller. You can define different areas of the tablet surface as different controllers, allowing you to create just the setup you need. The image shows a 9 channel midi mixer with sliders, buttons and XY pads. Every outgoing midi CC value can be interpolated to get smooth parameter changes."

"LiveSlice is a beat slicer / arranger VSTi with an edge. It offers powerful graphical rearranging of slices, multiple tracks and tons of parameters to apply to each slice as well as a unique slice randomization feature. Everything can be controlled by MIDI fine tuned in the GUI and seamlessly integrated in your midi sequencer - all in one creative workflow."

Synth Albums

This shot was taken from the same site as my previous post. Just thought it was worth putting up separately. Sometimes you just don't have time to check out every single image, so here you go. Check out the module plates standing on their sites like the albums. Pretty cool in that they will eventually also be the source of music. The title link takes you to a really nice video on his modular.

Cat on a Modular

Ran accross this site on this VSE thread. Notice it's hosted on mit.edu. This is one of those cases where I'm tempted to just copy the whole thing down in fear of it dissapearing forever, but... I'll hold off in good faith. Please don't let this site go down. Title link takes you there.



BTW, if the title link ever goes down, post a comment so I get it. I'm going to save the pictures offline just in case...

The Base

Via this post on VSE. Title link takes you to more shots and a gear map.

"This sucker gets points for coming in its own case AND STAND. That's like a baby being born in its coffin and knowing how to walk already too." : )

VEMIA Auction

Update: Looks like, Brian Eno's DX7 went for 2000 ukp and the Jellinghaus DX7 programmer for 1500 ukp.

Auction is on now. Runs from Nov 5 to this Saturday, Nov 12. Title link takes you there. Once there, click on the VEMIA link with the auction hammer on the left. There is a spreadsheet you can download. I found it easier to browse searching for "synth" when open. There's a Synthi in there amongst other goodies. : )



Update via the comment:

"HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT! BRIAN ENO'S PERSONAL DX7 AND PROGRAMMER ARE FOR SALE!"

Doh, I probably should have mentioned that. Sorry. : ) Oh and yes, that is Dave's Packrat in the commic.

The Lego Harpsichord

Fully functional harpsichord made out of Legos. Amazing. Title link takes you there; included more detailed shots, samples and the story. Via Lez Mizzell on SynthSights.

Yamaha MO

Mo of everything. : )

MiniMusic BeatPad Update

Via Create Digital Music. I have BeatPad along with the other MiniMusic products. It a great product and a blast to play. I run it into my TR-909 and out to any other given synth. Sequence heaven.



"BeatPad is a pattern based sequencer. It provides a simple yet powerful interface for creating musical patterns of various instruments or drum kits, layering these patterns, and performing them on your handheld or exporting them to your desktop/laptop. Using the Palm Platform's large touch sensitive screen, it is easy to see every aspect of a pattern at once and manipulate it with the stylus."

When a 2600, Mini, A6 and P-10 get together

Heath Finnie posted a track including an ARP 2600, Moog Minimoog, Andromeda A6 and an SCI Prophet 10 on VSE. Yowsa! Title link takes you to there.
