Beats, Bolt-bays & DIY Sequencers (july 2012)

"Quick test of some of my DIY sequencer projects. I'm using a MIDI-TRIGGER converter inside one of the yellow drum machines to drive little DIY sequencers inside the Synth and the other yellow drum Machine.
The DIY sequencers inside these machines will respond the external 'clock' source and also 'reset' to return the sequence to the first step. So programming various 'click' tracks and 'reset' tracks over midi will enable me to drive / sync / reset / stop & start the DIY sequencers in these machines...............:)
Complex sequences can be programmed with cleaver use of the 'reset' trigger. Watch the pink LED's on the Synth, for a visual indication of how the sequencer is working.

The little yellow Drum machines are Lo-Fi Analog Drum Synths, both very heavily circuit bent & modded. The one on the left has loads of mods, new Amp & Mixer circuits and includes the "Engineers@work MIDI-TRIGGER Converter". The Drum Synth on the right has similar mods, and also contains an integrated Step-Sequencer and a Lo-Fi Space Echo (Basic PT2399 with some minor adaptations).

The Synth is an Awesome AMSTRAD CKX100, and also contains an integrated step-sequencer / Arpeggiator.

Bass-Line comes from a dusty old TB-303 clone with crackly pots (future project).

I'll try to make separate vids for each of these new machines when I get the chance.

BTW Sorry for poor vid / sound quality. As always, it's very late at night and I'm reduced to using cheap headphones or waking up the neighbors.............."

"Twisted Tools Releases S-LAYER
New sampler instrument for Native Instruments Reaktor 5 creates playable and unique sound combinations by layering samples.

AVAILABLE FOR $69 @ http://twistedtools.com/shop/reaktor/s-layer

S-LAYER is a sound creation tool that allows you to create, edit and play new sound combinations by taking samples and layering them together using an eight part sampler and an intuitive cell layout. By combining sounds from the included sample map or your existing sample library, S-LAYER facilitates the discovery of new oneshots, sound effects and loops from pre-existing sample content. Whether you're looking for a new way to create thick drum samples for hip-hop or a massive impact sound effect for game, S-LAYER delivers.

With S-LAYER, up to eight parts are played back and manipulated simultaneously using an advanced layered sampler engine, where each layer remains independent and can be surgically edited. Time-tested sound design techniques such as reversing, pitching, modulating and mixing sounds together can be quickly achieved by randomizing and fine-tuning with sliders and knobs. In addition to the on-board granular, filter and time-based effects, you can also connect your own effects using the insert/send system or by using the direct outputs. Once you've found a sound combination that you like, you can store it on-the-fly in one of eight 'Scenes' which can be dynamically played backed and controlled using MIDI.

In addition to the included sample library featuring sounds from many renowned sound designers, S-LAYER comes bundled with an iPad Lemur MIDI template by Antonio Blanca and a MIDI template for Native Instruments' Maschine.
