Expert Sleepers ES-5 "ES-3 Expander"

via Expert Sleepers

"We’re pleased to announce the ES-5, an expansion module for the Expert Sleepers ES-3 Lightpipe/CV Interface.

It piggybacks on one of the ES-3's stereo channels to provide eight gate/clock/sync/MIDI outputs on the ES-5 itself, plus further expansion headers to connect up to five ES-4 Gate Expanders.

Expected to be available late March 2012."

The Chocolate Grinder (Arc app)

"A new app for Monome Arc2/Arc4 (or any MIDI controller).

The Chocolate Grinder is a software emulation of a skipping/glitchy CD player.
You can record (or drop a waveform) into a buffer and then define a playback/glitch window.

It uses authentic skip/glitch samples at every jump point along with weighted randomness of sample choice to emulate several makes/eras of CD players.

The seek/fastforward is also faithfully recreated.

The Max patch (requires Max6) can be downloaded at my webpage:

Drum Pad Interface

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Feb 6, 2012

"After making the drum pads I need to build some sort of interface that can convert the short electric pulses from the pads to an analog voltage that can control other musical devices.

The music is something I made back in 2003. I played it on Yamaha HE-8 and Viscount RBX-850 organs, Roland CR-1000 drum machine and JX-8P synthesizer."
