"This is my new Claudeatron Mk 1V which will form part of a suite of MIDI controllers I'll be using for my 'Sonic Manipulator Mk11 show.

My ethos is to find ways to ergonomically manipulate synthesisers in complex ways for greater musical expression.

Synth Spotting in Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy's 48 Hours

Published on Oct 20, 2014 Allen Walker

This one in via swissdoc:

"There are a few scenes in a night club named VROMAN'S in LA. The band is playing 'Boys are Back in Town' credited Brian O'Neal in the closing credits, the keyboards used are a Hohner Clavinet D6 on top of a Rhodes and a Prophet 5 is on stage for the whole song, it can be seen only on two small spots 0:24 in the snippet or 1:08:38 in the full movie and 1:48 or 1:09:55. They have 2 keyboard players. In the scene Murphy calls Nolte who drives then like crazy from the police station to the club in his sky blue 1964 Cadillac DeVille convertible Cadillac"

Update video added above and via Trey in the comments: "The band is The Bus Boys. They were Eddie Murphy's opening act on his comedy tours. Check out the movie Delirious."

midiSTEPs - midi step sequencer toy for iPad

iTunes: midiSTEPs - midi step sequencer toy - Arthur Kerns

"midiSTEPs is a powerful but fun MIDI step sequencer app that sends MIDI note and CC messages to other music apps and external synthesizers. It was designed to be super easy to use in a way that's similar to the SH-101 sequencer, where you can just quickly enter a few keyboard notes and you're ready to hit play. At the same time, it also incorporates many ideas from other classic and modern sequencers, allowing you to set control values per step, mute and skip existing steps, switch between multiple patterns and parts, sync and link patterns in various ways, and modify your sequences.

midiSTEPs was designed from the ground up as a touch-based iPad sequencer app, so it's super easy and intuitive to enter, edit and play sequences.

midiSTEPs features:
64 step sequencer based on the classic SH-101 sequencer
Set note, chord or rest per step
Set accent and tie per step
Set CC, velocity, length parameters per step
Mute and skip individual steps
Set start and end points within sequence
Edit individual steps
Transpose, loop or one shot, start and pattern sync options
Four independent sequencer parts with 16 patterns each per set
Parts can have different speeds, lengths, sync and trigger options
Pattern Mix page with clip-launcher style pattern triggering
External MIDI clock sync with clock shift adjustments and swing
Easy to set up CoreMIDI configuration and MIDI mapping
Easy to use touch interface designed specifically for iPad"

"Playing Moog Sub 37 Chords and Melodies Simultaneously Using 8-Bit Home Computer Techniques: The SIDlive Patch by Amplitude Problem
Full text from video: http://amplitudeproblem.com/index.php...

Back in the 8- and 16-bit eras when we made music on limited – but awesome sounding – three-channel hardware like the SID 6581 in the Commodore 64 and the YM2149 in the Atari ST, we used a certain trick to play chords using just a single channel..."

Moog Sub 37 + 2 Slim Phatties - polychain sequence

"Another 'on the fly' sequence with the Sub 37 and two Slim Phatties in polychain mode."

Moog Sub 37 + Slim Phatty Polychain #1

Published on Sep 27, 2015

"I put together a little demo of my Moog Sub 37 polychained with two Slim Phatties. The video begins with some random attempts at playing chords (I have no playing skills) and moves into knob tweaking while using the Sub 37's step sequencer. All sounds are coming straight out of these three units only, with the exception of some reverb that was added within NI Maschine. Anyway, hope you enjoy, as I plan on making more of these videos. By the way, I had the gain up a little too high on the mixer, so there's some clipping here and there. Oh well.
