MIDI control your KP3 like virusTI atomizer + maschine


YouTube via neutron7
"Midi control of the KP3, sounds boring, but actually you can do a lot with it.
just one example here is controlling the "loop" presets as shown here.
more instructions and assorted silliness in video."

Moog Little Phatty Synth Using Sexy Lead Patch


YouTube via acaruso36
"Oh, I Just had To ad This Video Of My Moog Little Phatty & Roland Fantom-S. What A Great edited Patch coming from The moog! The Roland Fantom S -61 had a great Guitar Patteren and drum Seqence. Basically, the patterns itself had to have a moog lead to make this Work. I thought This Demo would show a very expressive example of how moog Instruments make the analog world come alive. I hope I showed a good enough example to inspirer other moog users to create some fabulous patches."

EHX Effectology, Vol. 2: Dark Side of the Moon


YouTube via EHX
"http://www.ehx.com
Visit EHX.com for user videos, our blog, community fourms, and lots more!

Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we play a remarkable collection of EHX-assisted sounds, and explain how they were made.

In the second episode, Bill Ruppert, Professor of Effectology, recreates the sound of Pink Floyd's "On the Run" from "Dark Side of the Moon" (pedals used: Micro Synthesizer, Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, Frequency Analyzer, Big Muff Pi, Stereo Pulsar).

For more details on pedals and settings, please visit: http://www.ehx.com/blog/effectology-d..."

Update: "Bill Ruppert (the musician) is also posting extensive production notes over in the EHX forums, with the intention that people can engage in more-detailed conversations about creating unusual sounds:

http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/1208/

In this clip, I personally liked how he used a looper to create a short repeating texture that he then manually undulates with a ring modulator. It's also neat how he intentionally captured interference from an AM radio."

SYNTH-DRUM mini (Demo)

Theremin controlled Mario


YouTube via conquerearth. Playing Super Mario Bothers with a theremin.

via Zero via Gizmodo. Also see this Gakken Theremin covering Super Mario Brothers.
"Well, it had to be done!
Who needs a Natal when you've got a theremin! (OK, its not quite the same, but anyway...)

This is even more fun with two people playing! One person controls left/right, the other controls jump.

Its not just limited to the theremin. Its even possible to hook up a microphone and use your voice to control the game! Or a guitar! Or a violin!

Heres how it works:
The sound from the theremin is split into its frequency and amplitude components in real time, which are then mapped to values in a linear scale representing the X and Y axis. Pitch becomes horizontal control, and Volume becomes vertical control.
The X and Y scales are then cut up into different zones. In this case, Left; Right and dead zones for the horizontal, and a single trigger and dead zone for the vertical.

The trigger zones are then mapped onto a virtual joystick hooked into an emulator.

The end result is a fairly usable input control for playing games like mario. The bars give the much needed visual feedback as to how "in tune" you are, so you have a better feel of where the trigger points are."
