microGranny's First Date with Modstep

Published on Jun 14, 2016 Synth Anatomy

"Bastl Instruments Microgranny 2 is a hardware granular sampler. In this video i want to show the integration to Modstep App. In this jam I mapped the parameters with Midi CC to Modstep and I use only this X Y Pads. In a second date, I will use automation with Modstep and Microgranny. A template will be available in the next update of Modstep."

Volca FM, Machinedrum, Electribe Sampler, Tribal House Live jam

Published on Jun 14, 2016 Shimanski Beats

"Finally received the Volca FM, and after a while of playing around I came up with an edgy FM sequence that I combined with a tribal house beat on the Machinedrum made the other day, and then programmed the other elements on the Electribe Sampler. Everything DAWless, i.e. it's a live hardware performance recorded in one go. unfortuantely, the camera position is not the best, so sometimes my arms block the vision.

Instruments used:
Volca FM (edgy FM sequence; internal sequencer)
Elektron Machinedrum (beat; internal sequencer)
DSI Mopho (lead sequence)
Yamaha TX81z (FM slap bass + mallet lead sequence)
MAM MB33 Retro (analog bass)
Electribe Sampler (sequencer for the other gear)
External FX used: Lexicon MX200, TC Electronic M one XL, TC Electronic M350, DBX 166XL
(the Waldorf Blofeld in the picture is not in use in this track)"

"Exposer la musique électronique pourrait paraître en soi paradoxal : la musique s’écoute, se vit, se danse, s’expérimente, se ressent. Elle ne s’observe pas ! Et pourtant, découvrir son histoire, sa culture, c’est en réalité la décrypter et la comprendre. Quelles en sont les références, les codes et les outils ? Quelles seront, demain, ses nouvelles formes d’expression ? ≥≥ Exposition présentée du 25 mai au 2 octobre 2016 ≥ Espace Fondation EDF - 6, rue Récamier 75007 Paris ≥ Tous les jours du mardi au dimanche de 12h à 19h (sauf jours fériés) ≥ Entrée libre."

The Dato DUO is Fully Funded!

Published on Jun 14, 2016 Dato Musical Instruments

"We made it! We reached 100% our Kickstarter funding goal to bring the Dato DUO in production with a little under 2 weeks to go.

Dato DUO is an innovative synth for two by Dutch designers David and Toon. It is aimed at musicians and non-musicians of any age. It has two faces: a synthesizer side and a synth side. Two players collaborate in making music facing each other. The controls and functions have been designed so that the instrument is easily usable by non-musicians, too. For the more serious musician, the Dato DUO is equipped with sync in and outputs and MIDI IN/OUT.

Dato has been visiting artists and letting them jam on the DUO prototype. Chris from Dutch producer duo Killing Skills says: “Constraints are actually really cool. They make you creative”. Videos will be posted on the Dato Music YouTube channel as they appear (http://dato.mu/yt).

The Dato DUO was selected Kickstarter project of the day on June 8th. We reached our funding goal of € 60000 (~$68000) in 15 days. The Kickstarter campaign will run until June 26th 23:00 CEST."

New iConnectivity mio™ Advanced MIDI Interfaces

via iConnectivity

"Give your MIDI a big upgrade!

New line of ultra-versatile MIDI problem solvers offering support for 0 to 2 computers simultaneously, plus built-in MIDI merging, filtering, remapping, and routing

The mio™ Advanced MIDI interfaces are here! It’s a new line of MIDI problem-solvers from iConnectivity. Just plug in to connect and collaborate, in the studio or on stage. These are reinvented MIDI interfaces that work standalone or with up to six Macs/PCs at the same time.

They all feature built-in MIDI merging, filtering, remapping, and routing functions so you don’t need extra hardware units. mio10 has 10x10 5-pin MIDI, the mio4 has 4x4, and both support everything: USB MIDI, Ethernet MIDI, and more.

The affordable mio2 (2x2 5-pin MIDI) supports two Macs/PCs at the same time.

iConnectivity now has a comprehensive line of innovative MIDI and audio interfaces to handle modern setups of all sizes.

The mio™ line handles everything from essential up to extreme MIDI setups, in the studio and on stage. They're all USB MIDI Class-Compliant, so they plug-'n-play - no drivers become outdated, and other musicians only have to plug in to collaborate.

Famed musician/sound designer/MIDI wizard Richard Devine has been working with a pre-production unit: "iConnectivity's new mio10 is the dream MIDI system I've been waiting for! Its routing system is very flexible, and it's a breeze to use. Absolute class all the way. The Rolls Royce of MIDI interfaces!"

1. Leftie
"Very slow and a bit old-school.

Two patches running in a performance, both using the 002's Animator, which is a kind of parameter sequencer which runs individually for each voice. On both patches here it's controlling individual oscillator levels, plus LFO rates and amounts.

The thing down by my left hand is a Launch Control and I'm using the pads to trigger the second patch, which is making all the old-school noise and modulated sine wave sounds.

Download the audio for this, here: https://soundcloud.com/barry-neilsen/..."

2. Antithesis
"Looping sequences in the 002, all different lengths so they phase with each other. Two short (high, sustained sound); one medium (bass) and one very long (discordant brassy strings) where I mess with the loop length. My left hand is working the nanoKontrol mapped to filter and volume on the 002 parts. Percussion and FX from MachineDrum, LXP-15 and VoiceWorks."

3. Rosebud
"This is an oldie for me. I came up with these ideas back in the mid eighties, but I just wanted to get them back in my head ... well, they've never really left my head but it's a long time since my hands played them (and doesn't it show).

All sounds from my Modal 002; reverb and delay are an LXP 15II; and sequencing is from Genome on iPad hooked up to an iConnectMidi4+. (Glad my iPad 2 is still good for something.)"

4. 002 Jam, May 2016
"I've had my 002 nearly three years now. It still feels very fresh :)

For those who know don't this synth, this is an eight-part multi-timbral performance. (The synth is twelve voice and can be twelve-part multi-timbral.) Six of the parts are running their own sequences, which are up to 32 steps of up to one whole-note length. The two remaining parts are mapped across the keyboard. I'm using the Nano-Kontrol faders to control part level, and the rotary knobs controls filter cut-off on each part.

Delay and reverb are from my trusty old LXP-15II."
