"The sounds of the Commodore 64 made available to the six-string. An Elektron SID Station provides the 8-bit sounds, a pitch-to-MIDI system acts as the mediator between the strings and the synth.

By request : apart from some generic riffs the video features some familiar compositions such as David Bowie's "Fame" at 3:25, Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the sugar plum fairies" at 5:40 and Nine Inch Nails' "Head like a hole" at 6:49. As for originals: the riff from 4:43 to 4:50 is taken from my own "Ganymede" (which - by request - you can listen to on SoundCloud here : https://soundcloud.com/igorski/ganyme...)
Some of the other sounds displayed in this video have been used to create a short composition which can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/igorski/sid-ba..."

New Arpeggio Hardware Arpeggiator, Sequencer, and Synthesizer Details & Vids

First revealed back in June of 2013, we now have some additional details on the upcoming Arpeggio. Further below are three making-of videos featuring audio from the Arpeggio's built-in AVR synth engine.

Details:

"Introducing arpeggio. A new kind of electronic instrument with an interface so simple you can let your intuition take over. A design focused on seamless composition and performance which gives you the precise control to make any melody you want. Every detail of your sequence at your fingertips. No screens or menus. Arpeggio takes the notes you select and instantly plays them in a looping sequence. Tweak and save note sequences. These form the building blocks of melodic improvisation. String them together to create complex melodies. It’s a blank sketchpad for musical notes. There are no presets. You are the composer.

• Create, play, and save sequences instantly with live arpeggio sequencer.
• Up, up-down, down, down-up, sequence, & random arpeggiator modes.
• Access and chain together up to 512 user created arpeggio patterns.
• Internal 2-oscillator virtual analog monosynth.
• Note division sequencer (1/16th, 1/8th, 1/4 notes etc ).
• USB, 1/4” & 1/8” audio out, MIDI in, MIDI out, CV trigger out.
• MIDI & CV clock sync for syncing to external drum machines (master or slave)
• Control external hardware and software synths.
• High quality internal speaker.
• Takes batteries or power from an AC adapter. Make melodies anywhere!"
