A variation of my Peristalsis videos, this time showcasing my EDP Wasp, along with my Serge Creature/Seq A/TKB combo and Sequential Circuits Pro One. It proves for once and for all that I am not a keyboard player."

YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan | October 22, 2010

"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie. The music has been made in one take with Plogue Bidule (sequencer and various delay effects) and an Analogue Solutions Semblance (sounds). It is based on a sequencer i have made with Plogue Bidule. That sequencer is centered on sample and hold in a very complex way. Enjoy !

Modular Synthesizer Cabinets

YouTube via ISOTROPOSPHERE | October 22, 2010
I spy some MATRIXSYNTH cards and magnets! :)

"This is a follow up video to my desktop modular synth video featuring a showcase of my new cabinet (DFMZ-2) and the desktop controller (DFMZ-Desktop) alongside my first cabinet (DFMZ-1). The Technosaurus Small Wonders Series Tower was also finalized this Summer and now all are set up and being used in my little studio.

The cabinets feature a custom stencil graphic to simulate the graphic style of the Technosaurus small wonders on all of the sides, back and bottom. The first cabinet was left raw after graphics and the front faces left natural oak to kind of give it that old school desk or laboratory equipment look. The second cabinet was laquer clearcoated (6 coats) after the graphics and polished to a glossy shine. The front face has decal pro graphics buried under the clearcoat at the corners and features custom hand laid pinstriping by BRUCE. The desktop controller features custom solid mahogany end caps with woodburning graphical pattern, cleacoated and polished to a high gloss shine. Sheet metal between the wood sides and fitting into milled groove on sides, also, the Doepfer rails feature a notch on the back side which receives the sheet metal enclosure for a snug, secure fit. Sheet metal painted with same colors and graphical pattern as cabinets, clearcoated and polished. The inside of the desktop was painted white to allow maximum radiance of the bright blue led's on the Monorocket distribution board, custom light pipe made for amplifying this light.

The music that accompanies this video was something I had on an old tape in the deck and was just used to have something to listen to in the video. Having some fun with the Korg DVP-1 vocoder with vocals from my friend Marcus Maximus. "He'll save everyone of us" - Enjoy"

PRESS RELEASE: Kyma Control for iPad

"Kyma Control: the Swiss Army Knife of Controllers
New iPad app bundles four of the most popular Kyma controllers into one wireless multi-touch package

CHAMPAIGN IL-October 22, 2010-Symbolic Sound's new 'Kyma Control' app for the iPad gives sound designers, musicians, and researchers a new wireless multi-touch controller for the Kyma/Paca(rana) sound design workstation (http://www.symbolicsound.com/Products/KymaControl).

Features
'Kyma Control' bundles four of the most popular Kyma controller-types into one, wireless multi-touch package that includes:

* An auto-mapped, labelled, bi-directional controller/display that mirrors Kyma's Virtual Control Surface. All of the controls you see on the computer screen are also available on the iPad screen, including the Preset selection and Roll-the-dice options [top pic]

* A multi-touch pen/tablet-style controller, tracking as many as 11 fingers with identifying color trails to help you keep track of where your fingers are touching the screen

* A standard piano-style keyboard with discrete or continuous pitches and an extra dimension for !KeyTimbre control in Kyma

* A Tonnetz pitch-space keyboard with configurable vertical and horizontal intervals for experimenting with different pitch layouts;

* Plus accelerometer and compass-heading controls. Accelerometers supply both triggers and continuous controls based on acceleration in the X, Y, and Z directions, along with controls corresponding to Pitch, Roll and Yaw. A compass heading control corresponds to the current direction of the iPad and is useful for panning and other directional controls;

Here's a quick video demo of the Kyma Control app from Symbolic Sound.

And here are some videos from DJ Kero's studio.

Applications
For use in the studio, on stage, in a theatre or performance venue, in an installation, in the lab, at home, or in classroom, Kyma Control frees you from having to sit in front of your computer. Put yourself in the middle of the audience, inside the sound field, and perform your Sounds in an expressive, intuitive manner using multi-touch. Performers can have access to sound controls from the stage or in the recording studio, and voice talent can have access to a silent controller in the voice-over booth. In perception and speech experiments, subjects can use a wireless, silent controller with no mechanical parts, perfect for sound-isolation booths.

Requirements
* Apple iPad
* Symbolic Sound Kyma X.77 (or newer) running on Windows or Mac OS host computer
* Symbolic Sound Paca(rana) Sound Computation Engine
* WiFi connection to a network that is accessible to the Paca(rana) (OR contact Delora software for information on their PacaConnect application for creating an ad hoc network using the built-in Airport on a Macintosh)

Pricing & Availability
Available now from the app store. For more information, a video demonstration, and a link to the iTunes store, please visit: http://www.symbolicsound.com/Products/KymaControl

Background on Kyma
Symbolic Sound's innovative Kyma X environment features a unique set of sound synthesis and processing algorithms and a powerful way to easily re-combine these algorithms to create sounds that have never been heard before."
