The SynthiMuse - MIDI Composer/Re-Composer

Target price ~ £300 / $400.

Expected to be ready mid to late March 2017.

via SynthiMuse

"The SynthiMuse is random music composer/re-composer that creates MIDI notes.
It can do a number of different things:

1. It can create endless random sequences of MIDI notes derived from the genuine random internal noise generator that is the same circuit as that used in the analog synthesizers of the 1970’s

The notes created are truly random. Any note sequence it generates has never been heard before, and if you don’t save it to a loop, it’ll never be heard again.

Sequences are generated by setting the parameters on the controls that can influence the notes. You can set the Key and the Scale and the generated notes, velocities and lengths can be affected by LFO, Noise, and Audio.

2. It can ‘re-compose’ notes passed to it from the MIDI input.

You can play any note melody in to it ( or no melody at all, just a repeating single note ) and, using the setups on the SynthiMuse panel, it will create new melodies.

3. It can trigger off audio picked up from the internal microphone or an external audio source.

You can sing or speak in to the SynthiMuse and it can either be influenced by the audio or actually triggered by it.

The SynthiMuse is sensitive to the pitch of the audio so singing/playing high and low notes can influence the pitch of the MIDI notes created.

Ambient Karplus-Strong Modular Jam

Published on Feb 12, 2017 Miles Briand

"Mutable Instruments Ears, Rings, Clouds, Ripples, Blue Lantern ADSR. I use the Ears' resonant mic as a sound source, and have a looping ADSR envelope control modulating the resonance to create an additional overtone. The Ripples' resonance and ears are getting some additional resonation through Rings, and finally Clouds adding for the granular delay/reverb. You can hear some completed pieces of mine here https://soundcloud.com/you/tracks"

"Here we have the very beautiful and increasingly scarce Wasp Deluxe... Obviously they're now very hard to find and I'm pleased to say this one is in fantastic working condition

As you can see from the photos it's in wonderful condition and fitted with a 240v mains (note: the yellow top on the power/volume knob is missing, which can be easily replaced.) I've tested and had a play on it and it's fully working, all keys work fine and lots of wonderful and wacky noises made."

DEEPMIND 12 RELAXING MUSIC SYNTH DEMO ~ Classic Vintage Analog Synth Vibes

Published on Feb 13, 2017 once upon a synth

"Channeling vintage analog vibes with the modern Behringer Deepmind 12 synth. This video features 25 minutes of non-stop arpeggiators and live tweaking and improvising. It's very much inspired from vintage synth music like Tangerine Dream. There's of course a little bit of modern touch due to the tone of the Deepmind 12 and the effects definitely help set the mood. Hope you guys enjoy listening to this as much as I did making it!"
