a box of opportunities

YouTube via organfairy
"This is just a little story about a box I found in my bicycle shed - well actually I put it there myself in the first place so I didn't really find it since I knew it was there :-)

The music is called "The upright's little brother" and is played on a CASIO CZ-101 and Roland JX-8P synthesizers, and Yamaha HE-8 and Viscount RBX-850 organs."

Using TouchOSC with Osculator and Ableton

Using TouchOSC with Osculator and Ableton from Will Marshall on Vimeo.

"A video covering the work I've been doing with TouchOSC and Ableton: a walkthrough explaining the cool bits I've done, and a guide to getting it set up yourself.

Sorry about the fuzziness of the iTouch: it's really hard to get reasonable video of a screen like that.

Apart from Ableton, Osculator and TouchOSC themselves, you can download all the code and templates in this tutorial from marshall-law.co.nz/dj-template/"

LividStep: step sequencer made in Max For Live

YouTube via lividTV. click here for more vids. via http://twitter.com/Psicoff
"This details the major functions of Livid's Max For Live device, LividStep, including playback, how to: add and change sequences, control timing, navigate Live, and control instruments, all from the Livid controller.
The device works in Ableton Live with Livid ohm64 and block MIDI controllers. The device creates an eight step sequencer on one row of the 64 button grid. Fill eight live tracks with eight devices to fill the grid. Each sequence has independent time control for a huge variety of rhythmic possibility.
And, if you make it to the end, yes, the irritation at those who don't use a Livid controller is real and palpable :)

Tx802

Tx802 by plexus instruments
"Tx802, polyphonically routed to Studio Electronics Omega. A little bit of reverb. Some overload of the Olympus Ls10 recorder in the beginning. Start with the Oberheim LP, then Oberheim BP, then Cs80 filters. Towards the end sine and triangle oscillator brought in. In the middle, filter cross modulation is brought in.

Keyboard skills are lacking here."

cyndustries free ring tones

This is pretty funny. Via Cynthia on the cyndustries mailing list:

"Now I've seen everything... Someone has created custom ring tones for cell phones using our sound samples and bits of music from the Bug Music contests!

I suppose we should be flattered...

Get your wacky through zero ring tones now, lol
