MacBeth micromac Touch Controller in the Works


via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

"Looking less like VAPORWARE!...I burnt the first test PCB for the complimentary controller/synth module for the micromac series! This thing spits out CV and Gate, takes in CV and Gate- has two Oscillators etc and and extremely nice Obie style SV Filter!"

Ruffletron Synth Skirt Controller

Ruffletron - demo from lara grant on Vimeo.

A basic demo of the sensors embedded in the skirt and neck piece.
One of the yellow buttons is meant to have a deeper bass sound, but we recorded using the in jack on the camera, so it couldn't be captured.
You can tell I am not a musician.

Reaktor Tutorial: Filter Modulation PM vs FM

Reaktor Tutorial: Filter Modulation PM vs FM from FlipMu on Vimeo.

"This is the first in a new series of Reaktor Tutorials that we will be posting on www.flipmu.com. This video covers the different ways in which you can modulate a Filter in Reaktor, and discusses the details about why you would choose one input over the other.

The video starts with a brief overview of the test ensemble, and demonstrates the way different controls sound when hooked up to either the PM input or the FM input.

The second half of the video goes into the details of WHY you might want to hook up knobs and LFOs to the Pitch inputs, and hook up ENVs to the Frequency inputs.

The example ensemble can be found at http://flipmu.com/work/software/"

Quick noise with a small Make Noise system

Quick noise with a small Make Noise system from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

A filter-free patch in a DPO, Maths, Echophon, Optomix and Brains/Pressure Points mini-system (a contact mic (not from Make Noise, bottom right) is also used).

Details:

Sines from the DPO's two VCOs sent to Maths channels 2 & 3 and mixed at the Sum output --> Echophon signal input. Echophon out --> Optomix signal in. Signal out: speakers.

A mult of the Echophon's output is sent to VCO-A's Exponential FM input and VCO-B's Linear FM input.

Pressure Point's T-Gate is triggering Maths' Channel 1 envelope. The Press output is controlling the Fall times of both Maths envelopes. Row 1 is modulating the Echophon's pitch shifter, Rows 2 and 3 are patched to VCOs A and B 1v/oct. .

Maths Channel 4 LFO is setting the Echophon's feedback amount and the sequence's direction.

Tapping the contact mic advances the sequence position and pings the Optomix's Strike input).

Novation BassStation VST in Ableton Tutorial

Ableton Live Tips w/ Thavius Beck Pt 15 - Configuring 3rd Party Plugins - 'Did You Know?'

YouTube Published on Sep 17, 2012 by DubSpot

"More info: http://bit.ly/O8U711
Dubspot Instructor, Ableton Certified Trainer, and electronic musician Thavius Beck returns with a brand-new season of Did You Know? We launched the series back in January, and for eight consecutive Mondays, Thavius shared invaluable production advice, tips, tricks, and techniques and examined some of the less explored and slightly hidden features in Ableton Live. In this episode, Thavius offers tips and techniques for configuring third-party plug-in effects with Live, using Novation's Bass Station VST.

As nice as it is to have so many instruments and effects available within Live, there are many times when you will want to use a third-party plug-in instead. Thankfully not only are you able to use third-party effects, but you can also automate them and MIDI or key map their individual parameters to control them. There are many simple ways to do this, but in this video we will look at the Configure button that shows up when you unfold a third-party plug-in inside of Live.

For this example, I am using Novation's Bass Station plug-in. When I first put my Bass Station (or just about any other third-party plug-in not built into Live) onto a track, I get a pretty generic interface with a black square and circle (representing an X/Y grid) and not much else. What I would like to see instead are the parameters that I want to either automate or potentially map to my controller without having the Bass Station interface blocking my view of the arrangement. One way to do that is to unfold the effect (hit the triangle in the upper-left corner), which will reveal the Configure button. Once Configure is enabled, you can just click on the parameters in the effect that you want to see in Live's generic third-party effect interface. This will also make these parameters show up in the Arrangement View's automation lanes.

This can also be done by simply entering the MIDI or key mapping mode and clicking on parameters of the effect (without mapping them), or by altering the parameters while recording to the arrangement view. Using Configure is a great option when you don't want to inadvertently alter the parameters on other sections of the track or song after the fact; you can select the parameter you want to tweak, go the exact spot in the arrangement you want to tweak and automate it without recording it live. Just another way to give you more control over your effects. - Thavius Beck"
