Clandestign NOW PLAYING demo

Published on Jun 2, 2013 MILQUETOASTE·76 videos

"NOW PLAYING consists of 4 digitally-controlled synth voices, each voice running through a digitally-controlled analog filter, realized through 8 custom vactrols. The whole thing is housed in an attractive console case with vintage wrinkle finish and jewel pilot lamp. Data appears via an LCD display, and there's a speaker, output jack, USB port, and power jack for in/out stuff.

NOW PLAYING generates an endless series of tonal polyphonic notes with expressive envelopes and warm lo-fi sound on the internal speaker; cleaner output is available via the output jack.

Sequence of events:

Apply power to NOW PLAYING. USB works, but a wall outlet sounds better. NOW PLAYING is automatically on in USB mode.

If the PLAY switch is on, NOW PLAYING will calculate and play a preloaded routine, forever.

While the 'play' switch is off, NOW PLAYING will be in menu mode, and the parameters of each of the four voices can be scrolled. Pushing the SELECT button allows parameter changing via the SELECT knob while the button is down:

Musical Mode: 33 musical modes: Major, Minor, Adonai, Algerian, Altered, Augmented, Blues, Chromatic, Arabic, Enigmatic, Half Diminished, Bebop, Harmonic Major, Harmonic Minor, Hirajoshi, Hungarian Gypsy, Hungarian Minor, Insen, Iwato, Locrian, Lydian, Hemitonic, Mixolydian, Neapolitan Major, Neapolitan Minor, Octatonic , Persian, Phrygian, Prometheus, Slendro, Tritone, Ukrano-Dorian, Whole Tone.

Pigtronix Infinity, Korg EM1, Shruthi1, electric oud midi sync experimentation

Published on Jun 2, 2013 rudeog·27 videos

"Playing around with the new looper pedal synced to midi. Gear used here: Korg Kaoss Pad, Shruthi-1, Digitech RV7 reverb, Korg EM1, Pigtronix Infinity, home made two button pedal, Zoom G7.1ut and Sukar electric oud with my own custom pickup.
The looper pedal is synced by midi to the EM1 and has a cool feature in that it can reverse each of the two loops independently. I plan to make more vids with this pedal as it's very powerful."

Koushion MIDI Step Sequencer - NEW FEATURES

Published on Jun 2, 2013

"Koushion was just updated, adding a host of new features that make it an even more powerful music composition and production tool. It now has eight independent layers, each with its own MIDI Channel, Scale, Octave, Clock Divider and more. Each layer can have a different number of scenes (up to eight), making long, evolving patterns possible.

It works great with external hardware synths and softsynths, as well as other iPad music apps."
