Synthesizer mini-compositions

via sigma:
"We have started a mini-composition series on our gear pages. One composition is made with only one synthesizer (and some effects) in time to demonstrate the sound capabilities of that synthesizer. Compositions are made fast using improvisation and multitracking. There are allready compositions for Korg MS10, Korg PS3100, Roland SH-101, Roland S100M, Prophet Pro-1, Crumar Performer and more is coming.

There is also a free music-sample (Colossus Jam) from our Live gig in Colossus Club 8.12.2007"

DSMI - MIDI for the Nintendo DS

"So what is DSMI exactly?
DSMI consists of
* libdsmi
An open source library for DS homebrew development that makes it easy to write DS software that acts as a MIDI controller or MIDI client.

* DSMIDIWiFi Server
An application that runs on the computer and forwards the MIDI messages received via Wifi to MIDI applications.

* DS MIDI Keyboard acts as a MIDI keyboard, including pitch wheel / MIDI control adjustment by sliding the stylus vertically/horizonally.
o Kaos DS is an XY controller similar to the Kaoss pad. You can use the stylus or your fingers to adjust MIDI controls.
o Pulse DS turns the DS into a MIDI synthesizer that uses the DS's PSG (programmable sound generator) to produce Game-Boy-like sounds.

What do I need? In short, you need:
* A computer of some sort (OSX, Linux, Windows will do just fine)
* Either A wireless access point of some sort and a game that uses the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (needed only once)
* Or A DSerial
* A Nintendo DS, obviously
* DS homebrew hardware of some sort"

Update via BirdFLU in the comments: "Just to clarify, the DSMI stuff won't work in tandem with the DS-10."

"I had a Korg ER-1 Beat play through the filter."

Korg Lambda and Prophet 08

YouTube via kennykeyboard
"The same rhythmic tune is played on both instruments pretty much to demonstrate contrast between a 1979 poly ensemble and a modern analog synth. My neighbors in the early 80's had a reggae band, so I came up with this riff which may or may not be stylistically correct."

Korg Lambda strings organ sounds

"Auditioning of various sounds on this 1979 offering from Korg. The strings had variable attack. The organ was pretty much as you get it. Ensemble, shelving filter, and tone tabs help define the variations possible. It works best for pads and some soloing in this mode."
