More Konkreet Performer v2 Testing

Published on Jan 23, 2013 Andrew Dobson·3 videos

"Further adventures in Konkreet Performer v2 beta test. I've been exploring the beta of this awesome iPad controller which is now rock solid stable and responsive...and a hell of a lot of fun. This video shows various mapping functions.

Again, apologies for the shaky cam and poor framing. Shot on my cellphone whilst trying to actually use the devices at the same time.

Konkreet is running on an iPad 2 using the Yamaha i-MX1 midi interface - plug and play, no configuration or middleware required. I'm mapping various ableton parameters to both x/y position and length and angle. These latter two give you a really new way of controlling things, effectively giving you four control parameters on a single control node. It's intuitive and massively creative. Hope this gives some indication on what's possible. It's going to be an essential part of both my live and studio workflow.

NAMM 2013: iConnectivity Announces iConnectMIDI4+

"Hybrid networkable multi-host MIDI interface with audio support

Anaheim, CA., Winter NAMM Show, Booth 1774, January 24, 2013 – iConnectivity, developer of innovative interfaces for musicians, unveiled iConnectMIDI4+, their flagship next generation MIDI interface for MAC, PC, and iOS.

iConnectMIDI4+ is a multi-host MIDI interface for Mac, PC, and iOS that bridges MIDI and audio between multiple computing devices, instruments, and the network by introducing four new technologies into its design.

The first of these technologies is multi-hosting. iConnectMIDI4+’s multi-hosting capability allows for up to 3 computing devices to share the same interface as well as access and share MIDI resources over its 4 pairs of MIDI DINs and its 60 additional user configurable ports.

As a part of its multi-hosting capabilities iConnectMIDI4+ also features audio pass-through. This technology enables multiple computing devices (Mac, PC, and iOS) to not only pass MIDI data but also act as an audio interface between them, seamlessly bridging each computing device into each other’s audio and MIDI environments.

iConnectMIDI4+ also accommodates for USB MIDI devices such as controllers, synthesizers, drum machines, etc. that have USB ports by including a USB host port that supports, via powered hub, up to 8 USB MIDI synths, drum machines, controllers, etc.

Furthering its connectivity iConnectMIDI4+ also has an Ethernet port. Users can connect iConnectMIDI4+ to a wireless router, Ethernet hub/router, or any Ethernet enabled device via its dedicated Ethernet port. It is network discoverable, allowing for musicians to control any of the devices connected to iConnectMIDI4+ over a network connection via MIDI.

Controlling its expanded connectivity iConnectMIDI4+ includes iConnectivity’s Port Manager software for Mac, PC, and iOS allowing the user complete control over how MIDI is routed, remapped and filtered to and from all devices connected to it, eliminating the need for additional interfaces, extra cables, signal degradation, analog to digital conversion, and added complexity.
iConnectMIDI4+ Features:

· 4 In & 4 Out pairs of MIDI DIN Connectivity

· Connect 8 additional MIDI devices via USB Host Port + Powered USB Hub

· Over 64 user configurable ports of 16 Channels of MIDI per port

· Audio Pass-Through Between Up to 3 Computing Devices

· Multi-Host Capability - Connect 3 Computing Devices Directly & More via Network

· Network Connectivity

· Integrated MIDI Manager With Snapshot Preset Storage - For MIDI Thru, MIDI Merge, Filtering, and Advanced Routing Control

· Supports MAC, PC, and iOS Computing Devices

· USB MIDI Class Compliant

· Plug and Play - No Drivers Needed

· Charge iOS Devices

The features of iConnectMIDI4+ are patent pending.

iConnectMIDI4+ will be available for purchase in Late Q1 or Early Q2 2013 with an expected MSRP of $249.99 and street price of $199.99 from iConnectivity.com and iConnectivity resellers world wide. For more information please visit www.iConnectivity.com"

Minimoog Model D Synthesizer (1974) SN 8516

via this auction

"Single owner, been on the road in the 80's and since then has been in temperature and humidity controlled environment. This was purchased in early 1976 and from what I can tell it is a 1974 model. This unit has all original parts (including owners manual and sound charts) with the exception of the OSC 2 frequency pot. It does have that fat, analog sound that Moog is known for.

There are a few dents and scratches - one in particular(see pictures) and a number of smaller bumps and scratches.The keys show some wear-normal usage and the A4 and B2 have small cracks (hard to show in picture) The keys have fair action but could use some work. Most notably, the contacts on D1, G1 and F4 don't always make a solid connection and the pots and switches are a little scratchy, they may just need a good cleaning.

As with many Mini's there is oscillator drift. In this case it is pronounced. If allowed to warm up for 15+ minutes it will stay in tune for short periods of time.The issue is OSC 2, OSC stays in tune pretty well but also shows some drift.

The pitch wheel is cracked and while it functions, it is not smooth and the pot needs to be replaced. The modulation wheel is unresponsive and this pot also needs to be replaced. The OSC 3 Control switch is intermittent and overall modulation seems to be tied to the bad pot on the mod wheel."

"I just bought a MiniBrute. Being the synth geek that I am, I had to see the waveforms! I plugged in my new synth and began testing starting from the sub oscillator. This is a video of each oscillator being tested one by one.
The large draw for the MiniBrute lies within the fantastic oscillators. Each one offers an extra timber control to sculpt a unique sound with out even adding any more effects. This is what the waveforms look like with a clean signal."

Because of the ultra wide dynamic of the discrete VCO's the ADC's going redline (some clipping may occur in the video) and above this my cam accu died after 16 mins, sorry !!! :)
