Will Gregory Moog Ensemble Coming to Brighton

via Tim Mantle on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

via brightonfestival.org

"As one half of the electronic music sensation Goldfrapp, the keyboard-player and composer Will Gregory is one of the UK's leading advocates of using synthesizers and electronic instruments to create new sounds and reinvent old ones. Now he has formed a unique ensemble around eight Moog synthesizers, the technology that elevates music into an exhilarating wave of complex sound. Operatic one moment and computer-game technical the next, Gregory spins the Moog vocabulary of squelches and plops into a hypnotic and relentless sonic sensation to create fresh, intoxicating soundscapes. This concert features Gregory's live score to Rick Holbrook's poignant film The Service of Tim Henman."

Sample & Hold With a Serge Smooth Function Generator


Published on Mar 27, 2014 Doug Lynner·18 videos

"Using a pulse with a long duty cycle into the Hold input the smooth side of a Serge Smooth & Stepped Function Generator can do Sample & Hold too!

Though this is illustrated on a Serge the concepts apply to many modular synthesizers. Let me know how you apply this on your modular synthesizer.

To see the modules used in this patch in detail see the Mystery Serge at http://www.serge.synth.net/gallery/dl....

Make Noise Teleplexer


via Control Synthesizers and Electronic Devices on Facebook

"The new Make Noise Teleplexer is now available. Cool to see M_N expanding their line of touch controllers and taking it a step futher by offering something not only untraditional in terms of operation but also in terms of physical interaction (those of you not keeping up, the metal surface is meant to be played with the ends of patch cables). Bonus: LED Backlit Channel Indactors, nice touch.

Now In Stock"

The Hamlet 2000 Skulldrone

"Basically the Hamlet 2000 is a little Lunetta box, similar in spirit to the nand synth I built a while ago or my little blue lunchetta box which is based on the Heterodyne Space Explorer.

Housed in a novelty plastic skull (the size of a shrunken head), the Hamlet 2000 has two Audio- and two Control-Oscillators (LFOs, if you wish). The control oscillators each drive an LED which is coupled to an LDR to form a simple vactrol. These vactrols, in combination with a 100k Pot, each, set the frequencies of the audio oscillators and, unless the control oscs run at “full speed”, rhythmically switch the audio oscillators on and off.

For some additional visual effects the LEDs are “mirrored” by a pair of additional LEDs placed in the eye sockets of the Skull. The signal is summed via fixed transistors (an “on board” trimmer can be used to set the level)."

Modular Equinox Recordings


Below are some recordings from last Saturday's Modular Equinox event in New York (announced here). You'll find some notes on the event on adhoc.fm.

Mosaik Auto-BPM-Synced / Time-Warped Looper for iOS Released

Mosaik first mentioned in this post (click through for some nice screenshots) is now available.

iTunes: Mosaik - iOS - endeavour

"+++ Special introductory price - $0.99 / €0,89 - remains in place until the next major update will hit the App Store! +++

What is Mosaik?

You can import samples into Mosaik using AudioPaste, iTunes file sharing or the devices iPod library. To extract beat information out of the imported audio and to align it onto a global pattern, the App is using a beat detection algorithm which starts right after you have imported a sample or song. With this been done, you can warp through your audio, change its playing speed and set loops.

The time-stretching algorithm and how it works is the special feature in here. Instead of using an existing library we took a different approach. Our engine is taking care of beats. This means that Mosaik is trying to preserve the attack and decay phases of your audio. We call that "BSOLA" which means: "Beat Synchronous Overlap Add".

Current Project Status

When developing an audio application, starting from scratch is hard work. And in the case of Mosaik, it has been a lot harder than we thought. Therefor we have currently no other option than to release Mosaik in it's very early stage of development but at the lowest possible price tag - **$0.99 / €0,89**

Since the development still continues and since new features like user definable warp-markers or multiple tracks are about to be released in the next update, this is an opportunity to get Mosaik at one eighth of the price it will be sold for when the next update hits the store.

This major update will definitely include the following things:

1. Audiobus support with input/output.

2. Real-Time audio recording.

3. Note Onset-Detections

4. User definable and moveable warp-markers. This will add elastic audio features to Mosaik.

5. Multiple Tracks of up to 16 playing simultaneous, arranged in a grid of multiple sample cells.

6. Improved audio quality."
