"Buchla 200e processed with some computer effects, then again to Buchla and re-processed."

SARAH DAVACHI AUGUST HARP Featuring Buchla, SCI, and EMS

"August Harp is Davachi's second release, and is reflective of her ongoing exploration into the topography of spectrally immersive textures and aural environments. The compositions on this album consider notions of sustenance, shifting harmonic spectra, psychoacoustic derivation of artificial resultant tones, and interior movement within a semblance of stasis. Over the past five years, Davachi's compositional projects have been primarily concerned with disclosing the antiquated instruments and forgotten sonics of a bygone era in analog synthesis; her work on August Harp puts forth offerings from Buchla & Associates, Sequential Circuits, and EMS (London), subsuming transitions that took place between 1968 and 1981..."

What iPad MIDI Editors Might Look Like Stretched Across a Synth

via Superdan Rosenstark on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"I've been thinking a lot recently about virtual space vs. "real" (physical) space and control. I finally got a 3D artist to do a rendering. This one is for our layout for the Casio XW keyboards... one for our massive layouts for the Roland U.S. JD-990 would probably be more appropriate for this lounge, but anyway... this is just a fun concept image. Hope you dig it and don't mind the plug."

via MIDI Designer: "Virtual space does have its advantages. Here's what the iPad controller for the Casio Music Gear XW line of keyboards looks like if you spread it out.

Like a PPG Realizer on steroids. This is why I was a fan of the iPad from day one. It opens up synths in a way that would be virtually impossible with hardware. Not to mention you can jump spaces on a virtual controller. You can't on hardware sliders and knobs. But it's not one vs. the other. Nothing beets physical knobs and sliders for that tactile experience, but if you can't have them the iPad is the next best thing and it does have some advantages. Check out my FS1R editor - 80 pages and access to over 1000 parameters. Not feasible in hardware.
