"An intriguing combination of programmers, artists, and philosophers, these creators embrace a process that delegates essential decisions to computers, data sets, or even random variables. This allows important metaphors to arise in their work, calling attention to the relationship between humans and the computers that surround us, the mountains of information we generate, and the powerful impact that technology has on our relationships with each other.

iKaossilator Version 2 is available now!
Audio export, iPad full-screen support, and many more new features

● Audio Export records and saves your performance, just as you heard it

● “AudioCopy” provides an easy way to copy audio data between musical instrument apps
● Flex Play makes it easy to generate fills and breaks

☐ Audio Export saves your performance as a file
Now you can record your performance in real time, or export a completed loop as an audio file. By sending your creations to a Mac or PC via iTunes, you can share them with your friends or use them in a full-fledged music production. You can also upload them directly to SoundCloud.

☐ iPad native support provides full-screen (9.7") iKaossilator enjoyment
Now you can perform taking full advantage of the iPad's large 9.7" display. Enjoy iKaossilator on your iPhone while riding public transportation, and on your iPad while performing live!

☐ “SoundCloud” allows sharing or remix loops with users worldwide
“SoundCloud” is a music distribution and sharing service that's very popular among musical creators. The loops you create can now be uploaded directly to “SoundCloud” from within the app. If you attach the loop data when doing so, it will be shared to other users' loop lists. Users worldwide will be exposed to new loops they've never heard, and can combine them with their own loops to create remixes. It's a new way of enjoying music by and unleashing your iKaossilator’s potential throughout the world.

☐ “AudioCopy” lets you share audio data between musical instrument apps
Newly added support for “AudioCopy” from Sonoma Wire Works means that you can copy and paste audio data between apps. Audio data you export from iKaossilator can be sent to apps that support AudioPaste.

☐ Flex Play makes it easy to generate fills and breaks
Designed for live performance, the Flex Play feature makes it easy to generate fills or breaks. Touch and hold Length or Tempo buttons, and then try stroking the touchpad. Movement in the X-axis will change the Length of all parts, and movement in the Y-axis will change the Tempo, allowing you to add dynamic changes to your song that will further expand your performance possibilities."

JP8 vs U-He DIVA PWM comparison

JP8 vs U-He DIVA PWM comparison by CoolColJ
"Another simple comparo between JP8 and Diva. JP8 first in each case

single PWM wave, no resonance, wide open filter, decay and release on the VCA envelope

I used all the correct modules on Diva with the clean filter. 24 bit 4.1khz for both, "Divine" quality setting and 8 note poly for Diva

As I mentioned before there is a very noticable difference btween the envelopes of my recapped/calibrated JP8 and Diva.
JP8 just snaps and pokes out more and faster. There is this soft feeling on the attack of Diva.

The PWM on the JP8 is very distinctive it's what gives it it's swirling ethereal sound. Diva is really different sounding here.
Also JP8 significantly brighter, again as I said before. And a rougher more raw edge to real VCOs. That's something I always found that software is lacking - a bit too glossy and smooth."

"just a quick look at how these modules look once constructed. Audio demonstrates one of the CV outputs of the 8-bit Cipher controlling an early Serge VCO and Serge vari-BW VCF.
The Great Divide and Logic are just a quick light show."

MATRIXSYNTH T Spotted on TV - Lirinha with Astronauta Pinguim on Keys

AO VIVO: Lirinha no Estúdio Showlivre

YouTube Streamed live on Nov 21, 2011 by showlivre

Show starts at 6:30. I believe this is the second time MATRIXSYNTH was featured on a TV broadcast. There was one on French TV posted here. I keep hoping to find a MATRIXSYNTH card somewhere on the IT Crowd.

Fabricio Carvalho (Astronauta Pinguim) on Keys: Minimoog Model D, Roland EP30 electronic piano and a Crumar Toccata organ. Be sure to check out his Moog tattoo. Igor Medeiros on Nord Modular.

Googlish (Original description further below):
"Is the highlight Lirinha Studio Showivre (www.showivre.com) broadcast live on November 21, 2011.

Singer-songwriter presents Lirinha your disk, Lira, work that marked a new phase which now follows the artist in solo work, after more than 10 year career with Cordel do Fogo Encantado.

In Lira, the musician reinvents itself with a sound that goes through the use of guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, percussion and drums, resulting in a surprising and innovative foray into territory that is familiar: the fine line between music and poetry. Lirinha shows his maturity as an artist and songwriter, evolves into a cohesive work, with strong influence of the references that populate his songs."

Original description:
"Lirinha é o destaque do Estudio Showivre (www.showivre.com) transmitido ao vivo no dia 21 de novembro de 2011.

Cantor e compositor Lirinha apresenta seu disco, Lira, trabalho que marca nova fase do artista que agora segue em trabalho solo, depois de mais de 10 anos de carreira com o Cordel do Fogo Encantado.

Em Lira, o músico se reinventa com uma sonoridade que passa pela utilização de guitarras, teclados, sintetizadores, percussão e bateria, resultando em uma surpreendente e inovadora incursão em território que lhe é familiar: a tênue fronteira entre a música e a poesia. Lirinha mostra seu amadurecimento como artista e letrista, evolui em um trabalho coeso, com forte influência das referências que povoam as suas canções."

Update:

Please check it out and hope you enjoy my mixtape!!!"

99 Old and New

YouTube Uploaded by 7thDanSound on Nov 29, 2011

"Something old, something new. This video features a lovely old radio that we were given by my girlfriends grandma a few years back. They were the original owners and the thing is in near mint condition. I love it to death and really enjoy listening to it. I use a small FM transmitter to unintrusively get sounds into the machine, sometimes just from Spotify, this time from the Buchla. It's my girlfriend playing the 222e.

I really hope the nice sound of the radio can be heard! I used a hand held recorder to get the sound from the air so to speak.
