Keystep Aftertouch Noise Noodle (w/ Tinysizer & Minisizer) #TTNM

"Got an Arturia Keystep because I want to try some more live-keyboard mashing and that one has aftertouch CV! Yay! More info below :)

The Tinysizer (big square thing) receives MIDI and aftertouch CV from the Keystep, triggering two different synth voices - one with MIDI, one with aftertouch CV. There is some cross modulation happening especially at the end with the use of the mod wheel, which sends some crazy FM to the VCOs.

The Minisizer (small rectangle thing) does three drum voices running on its internal square wave LFOs. Ha! :D

Audio gear used:
- Anyware Instruments Tinysizer Modular Synth (Voices)
- Anyware Instruments Minisizer Modular System (Drums)
- Arturia Keystep MIDI/CV Keyboard
- Zoom R16 Recorder"

"Interactive installation, robot.

A wheeled remote-controlled robot roams around the horizontal black-striped canvas. These stripes are nothing else than audiocassette tapes. The robot is equipped with two tape heads to read off the magnetic tape. When the sound head crosses the tape or moves along it, it reads off the sound and forwards it over the radio to the computer and to the small loudspeaker placed on the robot. A customized remote control is used to operate the robot. A joystick is installed on the remote control to guide the robot; there are also buttons to manipulate the sound. This device can create music loops out of the sounds captured, control the sound processing and set up different parameters. Robot and sound transmission are controlled via Bluetooth.

Some of the tapes have several records of audiobooks by Stanislaw Lem. Others carry random records of unknown origin.

Here's a tutorial on how to design a sound from scratch on the Novation Circuit. It's a nice wave table synth engine, with a lot of macros and possibilities for matrix style modulations.

Cheers

KOMA's Field Kit launched on Kickstarter!

"After a year of development, testing and prototyping, KOMA Elektronik is proud to present the latest addition to the KOMA family: the KOMA Elektronik Field Kit! On Kickstarter now! The new KOMA Elektronik Field Kit is the perfect tool for everyone who would like to experiment with electroacoustic sound. Use everyday objects, amplify them and use them to make sound, like our heroes John Cage and David Tudor used to do!

The Field Kit is optimized to process signals from microphones, contact microphones, electromagnetic pickups and able to run DC motors and solenoids. On top of that it can receive radio signals and convert signals from switches and sensors into control voltage. The Field Kit boasts 7 separate functional blocks all focussed on receiving or generating all types of signals. They are designed to operate together as a coherent electroacoustic workstation or alternatively together with other pieces of music electronics with the ability to use control voltage signals:

Four Channel Mixer
Envelope Follower
DC Interface
Analog Switch Interface
Analog Sensor Interface
AM/FM/SW Radio
Low Frequency Oscillator
You can easily interface the Field Kit with a Eurorack modular system. At the backside of the PCB you will find a power connector you can use to power the unit from your system. The total panel width is 36HP. You can buy the Field Kit as a finished unit or build one yourself with the DIY Version."



"All audio has been recorded straight from the Field Kit, using a DC Motor, Solenoid Motor, a DC powered fan, Roland TR-8 and Berlin's local radio station Antenne Brandenburg as audio sources."

Additional details via Kickstarter.
