Modulating Ultranova with Audiocubes

"Its still a bit difficult to handle CC modulation with the Audiocubes... And still searching for good parameters to change. But looks nice ;)"

RIP Mrs. Raymond Scott
Mrs. Raymond Scott: "Mitzi"
(18 July 1918 - 3 May 2012)

The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
Jeff E. Winner is the co-producer of Deconstructing Dad, a critically acclaimed documentary on Raymond Scott. The film was directed by Raymond Scott's son Stan Warnow.
Sincere condolences to Jeff, Stan and "Mitzi's" family and friends.
Update via Jeff E. Winner in the comments: "Thanks, for me and many others, Mitzi is the real 'star' of the documentary. Mitzi was RS's 3rd & final wife, and Stan's step-mother, from 1966 until the present — from his "Lightworks" era, thru Motown, and beyond….. until today. Mitzi is seen in this (longer) trailer on Vimeo [below], just after me, at the approx. 4:00 mark"
Documentary Trailer--DECONSTRUCTING DAD--The Music, Machines and Mystery of Raymond Scott--DVD NOW AVAILABLE from Stan Warnow on Vimeo.
Update via Jeff E Winner in the comments: OBIT is now online: http://tinyurl.com/MrsRaymondScott"
Update via Jeff E Winner in the comments: "A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 22, 11:00 am, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 24901 Orchard Village Road, Santa Clarita. A reception will follow in the church hall. The service is open to the public: http://st-stephens.org/"

SND SAM-16 Sequential Analogue Memory Sequencer CV/Gate & Midi

Noisebug (RSS)
"The SAM-16 is a high-end analogue and MIDI-sequencer with special emphasis on tightness and intuitive handling. It has 16 steps, each with the following controls:
3-position toggle switch for trigger/mute/reset
12-position rotary encoder for semitones/chords
3-position toggle switch for transpositions
control for second parameter (i.e. filter)
control for third parameter (i.e. volume) or gate/step length
3-position toggle switch for audio/CV routing between 2 busses and individual input/ouput jacks
- A fundamental problem of all sequencers using pots and electronic quantisation, is that a control may be (unknowingly) set close to a switching point of the quantizer, such that even a small (and inevitable) drift will cause sudden and unwanted changes in the sequence. The use of rotary encoders for setting the notes eliminates this problem, and - in conjunction with the transpose-switches - it also allows a much more intuitive and predictable control of the sequence.
- The second row of knobs controls MIDI-velocity. In addition to the normal mode there are 6 special modes, in which the SAM-16 simultaniously or alternatingly transmits on 2 MIDI-channels to allow velocity -crossfades and -switching.
- The third row can be used for various functions. It controls either step or gate length, but can also generate another control voltage and/or MIDI-controller (#1-14). In addition it is possible to feed it 1 or 2 audio/CV signals, that appear at the rows output with a different attenuation/mix for each step.
- With the lower row of toggle switches audio and/or CV-signals can be routed from or to 2 busses and 14 individual jacks. This can be used to create ´wave-sequences´ by routing various waveforms of a modular system´s oscillators (or other audio sources) to the filter, or to activate CV-modulations only for certain steps of a sequence. The row can also control the gate length, or generate MIDI-switch-controllers.
- All rows have CV-outputs (0-5V, pitch 1V/octave), rows 1 and 2 also have a CV-input that is added to the values produced by the sequencer. These modulations also influence the MIDI-output data. The input attenuator for pitch modulation doubles as a global tranpose control with a 2-octave range.
- The build-in MIDI-interface syncronises the SAM-16 to MIDI-clock or MIDI-notes (!) and translates all settings into MIDI-data. Thus it is possible to control classic analogue equipment as well as modern sound generators. Also sequences and their transformations over time can be recorded into a software sequencer for further editing, storage, and recall.
A special feature of the MIDI-section is the possibility to ´re-define´ the 12 positions of the pitch encoders, that is to assign any note or chord (up to 7 notes) to each position. The timing control of the SAM-16 also has some advanced options, such as the possibility to wait untill the end of the current measure at any given step. This allows convenient syncronisation even when changing the sequence length. An ´alternating´-mode allows the sequence to be split into 2 halfes, and to switch between them by hand or automatically after 1 - 15 runs.
- Only high-grade controls and components are used in the SAM-16. The internal MIDI-software has been carefully optimized for speed (latency < 0.1 mS) and reliability.
- All CV-inputs/outpus through 1/4"-jacks on the frontpanel, MIDI-In/Thru/Out on the back
- 19", 5 rack units, depth (behind frontpanel): 105mm + plugs, external power supply"
