Atom Heart TM live in Frankfurt 2008 AtomTM Uwe Schmidt

YouTube via AtomicUwe | November 21, 2008 |

"AtomTM live in Frankfurt Germany 11.11.08"

via v-un-v on electro-music.com:
"Just to prove my point, here is the absolutely brilliant Uwe Schmidt (Atom Heart) playing live with nothing more than an Akai MPC3000 on stage. If you look at the projection on the wall, it is the Akai's control screen, and it is clearly indicating in green that Uwe is playing back in 5/4! Cool... edit- I think there is also a Tenori-On there too."

Robert Rich Synthesis Technology

"Robert Rich was on hand to talk about a couple of new modules from Synthesis Technology, the Cloud Generator and the Morphing Terrarium.

The Cloud Generator:

'The MOTM-520 contains 16 independent digital oscillators, each with Sine and Pulse outputs. The Sine outputs are very low distortion, less than 0.1%. The Square/Pulse waves can be PWM'd by an external control voltage or even audio. The sum of all 16 oscillators is routed to the SINE OUT and the SQR OUT jacks.'

Morphing Terraruim:

'a unique wavetable vco with 2 independent waveform outputs. unlike similar designs, the e350 is a fully self-contained, 1v/oct vco. what sets the e350 apart from previous wavetable oscillators is the voltage-controlled morphing.'"
