YouTube ploaded by tikovbcn on Nov 1, 2011

"At beggining you can hear real analog Alice 1387 , from 35 sec - its VSTI emulation purchase at http://www.tikov.com/softrave/alice2012.htm Softrave presents Alice 2012 Vsti. This instrument is based on waveform samples from Alice 1387 vintage analog soviet synth produced in 80 `s. The idea was to recreate deep low sounds of Alice 1387 as close as possible to original. This synth is good for electro, techno, idm ambient and other electronica styles. This synth will be developed further, i have some ideas how to improve it. Upgrade to next versions will be free for all customers."

The Pianome

"It is interesting that the piano, an instrument created to popularize equal temperament, is so biased to certain keys.
The Pianome is an ongoing project in an effort to exploit alternative methods of utilizing a Monome, or any grid controller. Columns of buttons output MIDI notes chromatically upward, and in 4ths across from left to right. Very similar to the structure of a lute, or bass, offering a grid or pattern based approach to performing piano music, rather than each key being a different "finger pattern", as in key biased instruments like a piano.
For added velocity, currently mapped to shift pitch registers for added range, I turned my audio volume pedal into a MIDI controller by controlling a generated tone, who's RMS data is being analyzed, scaled and converted to MIDI in Chuck, and sent back to Ableton Live, where MIDI piano is being triggered.
Since this video, I have built a Chronome, which allows for, among other features, pressure sensitivity. This will allow for a more expressive Pianome. That coupled with double the buttons (and better piano samples) will offer a much more comprehensive fingerboard with the complete range of a piano, rendering the piano almost obsolete."
