iPhone Synth

"It's very much like Propellerhead's ReBirth (remember that one?) and other step-sequencers. I tried to demonstrate how some of it works but my big sausage fingers +plus+ trying to face my MacBook's cam just proved more challenging than I thought.

What's cool about it is that not only can you set each note in each step of the sequence, but the type of oscillator per note (ie square, sine or white noise for snares/claps), the volume of each step, and you've got 3 octaves to choose from.

But that's not the best part - as shown in the video, it's using the iPhone's accelerometer to mess with the filters - the cutoff and resonance.

"Apple iPhone/Roland TR808 Rhythm Composer combination. Possibly the world's coolest drum machine."

Anyone know more about this? Just an image or any functionality?

via Synthtopia who are wondering as well.

YouTube via fareastrecording. I saw this one posted on The Stretta Procedure (check out some of the other vids there as well). Not sure what is actually used in this one but it is definitely chip music - C64, Nintendo, etc.

EVI Serge by vgermuse

YouTube via matrixsynth. Sent my way via Todd Barton, aka vgermuse.
"The EVI 2000 analog synth module of the EVI 1000 is producing long sustained sine tones which are now and then sent through a Moogerfooger Ring Modulator. The EVI is triggering a patch in the Serge that is creating random pitches and drastic timbral shifts. Hope you enjoy."

Update: New video is up here.

Battling Seizure Robots via Richard Lainhart

"Friends: just in time for the holidays, here's a new live performance video for your viewing pleasure. This time, I'm jamming with Moldover at Tranzducer .011 on November 30 (2007). I play my Buchla 200e/Haken Continuum system, while Moldover works out on his controllerism rig. This is a completely spontaneous, unrehearsed, undiscussed improvisation, and the first time we've ever played together; while it's camera-audio only and so not the best quality, I think it's worth checking out. The complementary video improvisation was provided by Bert Baldwin.

("Battling Seizure Robots" is the name of one of the video animations I created for this performance, which, perhaps fortunately, you don't see in this clip.)

To see the clip, go to http://www.otownmedia.com and click on the link at the top of the page to go to the Performance page, then click on the Battling Seizure Robots link under Tranzducer .011.

Happy Holidays!"
