YouTube via TheSynthFreq — April 19, 2010 — "Here is a improv video of some new patches I wrote for the Roland D-50 linear synthesizer. The bass patch used in the last song was a preset on the Yamaha DX-9 FM synthesizer. I have had this DX-9 for about 4 days and I am really enjoying getting into FM synthesis and understanding the Fourier series as well as using sine waves to create sounds. It is a big adjustment though , since the DX series synths do not have a filter since modulation between the oscillators create complex frequencies that are controlled with modulation instead of an actual dedicated cutoff frequency. I really like how sidebands in FM sound so cool. Sidebands are actually aliasing and are most of the time not wanted, but it just sounds so awesome for metallic sounds. Please enjoy! :) TSF"
YouTube via pmcskeeter — April 19, 2010 — "This demo shows a number of exciting features that have been added to Nodal. First networks can be triggered with a MIDI note. In the example, a MIDI keyboard is used and represented with a Max/MSP patch showing what keys a currently depressed. The triggering feature also includes velocity scaling so that networks can be played at a range of dynamics. The second feature is the ability to program in pitchbend CC messages, The long held notes at the end of the networks have a pitchbend curve on them, one of which is shown in the inspector window.
Nodal 1.0.7 is not yet released but we are very excited about the musical potential of this software and will be releasing it soon."

Update via Lojak in the comments: "The dj effect unit is a Pioneer EFX-500. DJ Shadow used to use these for live performance. Not sure if he still does."
YouTube via gavin916freak — April 19, 2010 — "well for one I used a 3/4 beat so that sets this video apart from 90% of the others. but mainly I didn't use any synths I sent the auxilory from my mixer back into the korgs input and then used the feedback for the audio in+comb synth mode. then I sent that into a kp3 and Fcked it up. its not pretty, its not cool, its not normal, and its definitely not pop. But do let me know what you think, I have other tracks on my myspace aswell www.myspace.com/psychramento"
