Generative Music by Gibran Curtiss

Published on Apr 16, 2017 Gibran Curtiss

Playlist:

1. Generative music - part I

"Still an embryonic project of Generative Music in Arduino plataform and Midi protocol using simple biological algorithms to birth , growth, reproduction and death , together with locomotion and collision . This video was the result of one day of coding, so.... The 4 tempo was reduced to 1 to make a little short video. Long journey yet to come."

2. Generative Music - part II

"Second video of generative music project.
Arduino Uno replaced by Arduino Mega.
Arduino goes to USB MIDI interface, that goes to laptop running ableton driving 3 Midi channels.
The original algorithm was improved a lot and were added some controls to make intentional transitions.

Credits: Adam Kumpf for the core algorithm."

3. Generative music - part III

"Another sample with a generative music Arduino prototype."

4. Generative Music - part IV

"Another great step forward to my generetive music project.
These are the 2 major changes in project:
a)the first 3 videos I've made, the Arduino was connected to a laptop by MIDI. Now 2 full 5V CV OUTs available (3 at the moment I'm writing this) :-) provided by a DAC MCP4725
b)improvement into evolution algorithm allowing to choose to evolute or not each parameter individually. This way we can let the machine evolute by itself and then step in anytime to control the evolution.
Finally the unit is connected to a real modular synth!!! I'm very very really happy!!!!!!!!.
This video is a very simple path:
-one CV to a Qu-Bit Chord
-another CV to 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator."

5. Generative Music V

"This is the 5th video of an Arduino Generative Music project. Finally a reasonable result. 4 midi channel / 4 CV outputs (0-5V). In this video only 2 channels used."

6. Generative Music Part VI

"This is the Part VI of the Generative Music project. A friend asked me to explore all 4 channels. So here it is. A lot better that last one video. But still a lot to improve on the next. Remember that this project is a SUPPORT tool to provide some melody, not make an entire song. Now the next goal is to attach a solar panel and some sensors : temperature , pressure, light, air humidity, soil humidity, wind velocity. All together and a little math will be able to make music according to weather variations including wake up and go to sleep. It will be an self sufficient being. Like a mini Frankenstein that makes music."

7. Generative Music part VII

"This time the fully functional prototype of the generative music module patched to the 4MS SMR passing thru a custom Spring Reverb.
One square wave oscillator with a fixed frequency feeding the 4MS input.
The final configuration of the module is :
-4 (0V to +5V) CV outs with buffered MCP4725 DACs.
-1 Trigger out with led indicator;
-parameter / value knobs to control the internal variables;

Again, some code improvements to do a better control over the note distribution to CVs.
The evolution of the generative module was locked this time just to play around with 4MS, basically, the same melody all the time but exploring the internal variations of the CVs.
Remember that the whole sound was played ONLY by the 4MS. No drum machines, no other modules."

8. Generative Music part VIII

"This time added a control to interval or cycle a group of 2,4,8,16,32 notes.
Unfortunately this project will be suspended for a while.
The effort now is to develop better melodies but I dont have much time exclusively to it.
Thank you!"

Roland JP-08 Exploring Jupiter 2017 Analog Circuit Behavior Synthesizer JP8 Rik Marston

"Roland JP-08 'Exploring Jupiter' 2017
by Rik Marston 100% No Talking!!!
**Watch in HD** **Turn it UP!!**

The Roland Boutique JP-08 JUPITER-8
recreation with K-25M keyboard in an
extensive deep TWEAKING showing off
the power of the JP-08 & it's ACB technology.
I have owned a Jupiter-8 (see my video for it)
and YES the JP-08 can sound like it but it
lacks some of the warmth & charm that a real
JP8 has that it can only produce. That being said,
the JP-08 is FANTASTIC for sound design &
music composition. The JP-08 sounds & behaves
just like a Jupiter-8. Perfect for the person who
craves a JP8 but has a limited budget or just
wants to save a bit. It can be a fight to shape
the right TUNING (as you will hear in the video demo)
the little sliders makes it hard to hit the right sweet spot.
A external midi controller with a ton of assignable
sliders will be a blast to use to control the JP-08.
It's made for all genres, not just the local eighties
cover bands, but serious audio tweakers who need
some serious kit to mold their specific needs into life.
I am using a Roland V-Synth as a MIDI CONTROLLER
for this video, it has Attack & Release programmed
to it's assignable knobs. Recorded DRY into Ableton
Live 7 with no other effects.

Patch info:
Patch 46 (PWM Strings) @ 00:06
Patch 41 (Solo/Lead) @ 04:39
Patch 73 (Bass into Oblivion) @ 09:45
Patch 47 (Pad/Strings) @ 19:08

Novation Circuit & Korg E2: Polyester Jam

Published on Apr 16, 2017 mishpult

"The two boxes are playing together in a somewhat weird sequence which turns halfway into a hoppy 120bpm melodic techno jam. I halved the tempo to achieve more bars and used the odd pattern length feature of the E2 for more evolving beat progression. Slight EQ and compression added ITB. For this video I also made a new animated intro of my channel's logo (trying some new skills in AfterEffects:). Please enjoy and share your thoughts! Cheers!"

Exploring the Moog Mother 32 synthesizer with BoBeats

Published on Apr 16, 2017 BoBeats

"This is the first of several videos I have planned for the Mother 32. I use it together with the Circuit and make a little jam. Still sick but I really wanted to make something for you guys this weekend/easter."

Full Metal TB-303 and Monologue Case Mods by Haydn

Some gorgeous work in via Haydn:

"I make and design these new cases for the tired old plastic Roland TB303 cases

there are a few versions of it and they are all metal"

Also pictured is the Monologue minus keys.

The Blue 303 reminds me of the Electribe EMX.

You can find a post on Haydn's work on Ask.Audio here.
