I didn't plan to make any more videos before my upcoming album is ready, but I stumbled upon a competition to remix Above & Beyond's "You got to go". Since I've recently discovered Anjunabeats and their great trance compilation Worldwide 03, which I've been spinning almost every day now for two weeks, I just had to take the time to give it a shot!

I saved only the vocals (sung by Zoƫ Johnston) from the original track and remade all music using only analog synths. The analog synths and analog drum machines were controlled in realtime by a MIDI sequencer and mixed together with the vocal using an analog mixer and hardware effects.

Equipment used: Korg Mono/Poly, Polysix, Poly-61; Roland Juno-60, Alpha Juno, TR-808 (w. MIDI); Moog Source; Oberheim Matrix 6R; Vermona DRM1 Mk III; Electro Harmonix Small Stone; Boss BD-2 (H2O mod), DD-3; Lexicon MPX500; DBX 290; Emagic AMT8; M-Audio Midisport 8x8/s; Alesis iO26; Cubase SL 1.06; Allen & Heath GS1; Yamaha S30 (as MIDI keyboard); Doepfer MCV1; Kenton Pro 2.

Camera: Canon HF100

Hope you enjoy my t-shirt! ;)"

This is a looper that'll come out to play, but get down to work when you want to get serious.

While other music creation apps tend to be either powerful but difficult to learn, or easy to use but limited in features, Loopy doesn't compromise. Loopy offers a sleek, expressive, instantly understandable interface that beginners can start using effectively straight away. It's fun, right from the start.

More advanced users, however, will not be disappointed by Loopy's rich feature set, with extra features many other loopers just don't have. Plus, a sophisticated interactive tutorial system lets users discover Loopy's more advanced features at their own pace.

Hey Just J - Loopy App Review (Live Looping)

Nektar PANORAMA DAW CONTROLLER KEYBOARD for Reason 6


"Reason 6 is here! Need a controller?

Panorama is our vision of how a great controller should work. Yes, there are many 'generic' controllers on the market already but we have yet to find one that satisfies our criteria of operating the software, as if it’s hardware - That’s Panorama.

Panorama uses a communication protocol that has been custom designed for Reason 6, putting control - every control - at your fingertips. There's nothing generic about this controller. Panorama really does access all areas.

Here you get the chance to read early information. We’ll reveal more and more snippets of Panorama up until release."

"Panorama allows you to gain access to Reason’s mixer at the touch of a button. Here you see the Reason mixer channels assigned to be operated by each of Panorama’s controls. The display gives you an accurate overview of what parameter each control is assigned to as well as current value state. Let’s look at the display screen in some more detail."

"The mixer channel strips in Reason are comprehensive and like the real world hardware - quite long! Panorama breaks the channel strip down in to manageable localized sections, accessible at the push of a button. From the mixer menu described in Part 1, you have access to EQ, Dynamics, Inserts and Sends across the buttons below the display. "

Soil of the Sun

nonlinearity II


"Continued studies in nonlinearity, this time using cross-coupled XR-VCO [Thomas Henry] oscillators, Serge smooth/stepped generators and random voltages from the Wogglebug run through a series of Buchla Low Pass Gates and plotted on the oscilloscope. Recorded 14.09.11 at the Danish Institute for Electro/acoustic Music, Aarhus. Reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's action paintings, mid-century Modernism and a time before the information machines took over. A sketch quickly realized in the dark with improvised tripod and bad, in-camera microphone. To be expanded. Watch with the lights off."


"After touring 3 weeks with 25 Kg of heavy metal synthesizer in a suitcase, I came home wanting something a bit lighter and simpler. My back-to-basics approach uses one SoundBox built for workshops with gypsy children and Afghan refugees in Hungary a few months ago, one contact mic, a Germanium transistor distortion pedal and 10 years worth of found objects collected on trips around the world.

At the heart of this video lies the concept of nonlinearity, that most basic building block of chaos theory and the wonderful complexities of our natural world. The microphone/speaker loop forms a system into which the nonlinear irregularities of 9V electronics, beads, springs, moss, shells and bits of bone produce unique bifurcations and attractors. Shaking things up a bit resets the system and new chaotic patterns begin to emerge..."

Star Labs iTar - turn your iPad into a guitar on Kickstarter


via Kickstarter

"Our project is designed for musicians, guitar heroes, electronic artists, iPad junkies and hackers looking for a fun and easy way to take their show on the road. At it's heart the device is a button-based guitar fretboard (Starr Labs patented fingerboard) integrated with a dock for the iPad which will transform the tablet into a 21st century musical instrument we call the iTar (tm).

Our fingerboard has been battle-tested and proven for years to be a professional-quality electronic music instrument. Our fingerboard has been used on instruments we've built for the likes of Vernon Reid (of the endlessly awesome Living Color), the Chemical Brothers, Pendulum, Linkin Park, Lou Reed, and many TV/film studios. Check out the gallery at www.starrlabs.com to see the high quality instruments we've been building around this impressive technology for years. Our line of Ztars and Z-boards are each custom built by hand, from scratch."

Acid1

Acid1 by rh2y
"My first attempt at an acid bassline on my EMX1. The pattern is only 1 measure long; my plan is to expand the pattern to 4 or 8 measures later for more variety. Recording is a live session, recorded in one take; so there is the occasional mistake (or, "happy accident", depending on your outlook). All sounds and pattern data created from scratch."
