Voxkit! for iOS Now Available

video posted here.

"Voxkit is a MIDI drum controller with a twist. In addition to touch pads on the screen, you can trigger notes with sound. Clap your hands, tap a pencil on a desk, or use your voice -- Voxkit detects the tone of the sound, to trigger a sample from the app, or a MIDI note.

You can customize the sounds that Voxkit makes -- add WAV format samples through iTunes File Sharing, to make the drum kit of your dreams.

Record your playing with the app, and then export the results as a WAV file (with Audio Copy, iTunes File Sharing, or by email). MIDI events are recorded too, with the same sort of export options.

With Audio Paste, you can import a song that you're working on with another app, and then add a track of live drumming.

By listening to external sounds, rather than just the touch on a screen, Voxkit can capture the subtle velocity and rhythm variations of real drumming.

There are hundreds of apps that will let you program drums on a grid -- and you wind up with something that sounds stale and mechanical. Break free with Voxkit!"

"Hvorfor er lykken så lunefuld" - with Spacesound speaker

YouTube Published on Jul 16, 2012 by organfairy

"This is an old piece of Danish film music from the 1930's. The sheet music I have says that it is composed by Karen Jönsson and the lyrics (which I don't sing) is credited to Carl Viggo Meincke.

For the first time I have used this wacky contraption on a recording. It is a SpaceSound rotating speaker unit taken from an old Elgam organ. I made it during my years of unemployment in the late 1990's. The organ is a heavily modified Elgam Grand Gala - actually the same organ that the speaker comes from - and it is recorded on my Fostex model 80 multitrack tape recorder. The rhythm comes from an Elgam Ringo table organ.

This is an example of how it could have sounded if I had been playing in the 1970's. One thing you often hear is people who are claiming that the instruments were so much better in that period of time. But they tend to forget that 35 years ago all electronic instruments were very expensive so I consider this a realistic example of home organ music from that era - even though I made the recording in 2012."
