The Miselu "neiro" Portable Net Enabled Social Touchscreen Keyboard

miselu neiro from Miselu on Vimeo.

"The Miselu “neiro” is a portable, net-enabled social music device with a musical keyboard and a wide multi-touch display, and a variety of musical apps and cloud services.

This mobile companion invites users to perform, create, learn, discover and share — from anyplace they go. Social is integral to the Miselu “neiro” and permeates through all applications. The open platform environment will also enable developers and users to build their own custom apps and solutions.

Yamaha is providing the upcoming “neiro” with the Yamaha AudioEngine (TM) Series Sound Chip NSX-1. This powerful synthesizer engine delivers a quality that almost matches the sound of real musical instruments. The DSP chip offers a larger variety of sound effects such as reverb, chorus and EQs that create a rich sound experience.

Meditation 001 15 Minutes of Synthetic Rain.wmv

"MFOS modular in a totally non-tonal synthetic rain patch. Random gates, noise, sample and holds, filters galore, and VCOs all combine to form rain, thunder, dripping water and a droning plane that comes and goes. Various weather related photos in this video are courtesy of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This is the first in the Meditations series and I find it very relaxing. I hope you enjoy it. Produced by Ray Wilson at MFOS Studios."

MiniMoog Voyager XL and Korg Radias - Sneak Preview by Andy Barrow

YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Mar 8, 2012

"Hi everyone, this video MiniMoog Voyager XL and Korg Radias is a sneak preview on a piece of music I am working on - I suggest a Pair of Headphones or Big Speakers, This is still being worked on. The Minimoog Voyager XL being put through its paces at some basic modular work, mainly itself being used with a little interaction from me.

The patch panel is being used to modify and control the Oscillators, to produce an effect as if it is being sequenced. Only the the Two LFO outputs Square and Sawtooth are being used to drive the 2nd LFO and the Four input Mixer, which has 2 outputs. These are then being sent to the Pan via the LAG processor and the other output of the Mixer is being sent to the Filter Cutoff

Playing with the controls on the Mixer produces different effects on the Cutoff and affects the pattern. This is just a sneak preview, using the XL and the Korg Radias for the Lead synth. Recorded into Logic Pro and using Compression, Reverb and Delay. Sends are being sent to additional Reverb and compression. Trying to contain the Moog Bass line was a tricky one, it wanted to climb out of the Headphones So until I can add Rhythm and additional Synth tracks, thought you might want to grab an ear load of Moog Bass.

The Lead synth will be switched round with the Korg and Moog.

Apologies for my comments at the end of this video, but saying Mooooog does sound sexy. I don't apologize for being biased towards this synth."

Legendary Moog OSCar Up for Auction

via this auction

Some of you might remember this one from this post back in September of 2005.

"For sale is the legendary moogOSCar, there is only one of them on this planet. A real Oscar with latest OS, everything working perfectly in a Moog Source housing. Was once owned by Roger Lyons and was restored some years ago after it arrived here in europe in a terrible shape. It has an audio input for feeding audio through the filter and a CV-input for controlvotages on the cutoff-frequency. This is not a fake or diy-crap, it's a fully working OSCar in a funny and extremely servicefriendly housing. The pitchbend-pot is a bit crackly, if you plan to use the synth on stage you should replace this pot. Worldwide shipping with excellent packaging. Keep in mind this OSCar wants 220 V, maybe you need a converter in your country. I ship with the original "Sound on Sound"-Article on this unique thing and with a complete OSCar manual. Please have a look how other bayers have rated me."
