"The River à l'épreuve du Bach sous les doigts de Johan. Le son capté n'est pas à la hauteur du hérissement de mes poils des bras...Le grave était magique."

Organelle v3 - what is it, what's new, and how instruments are built using open source

Published on Dec 29, 2017 loopop

"The new OS v3.0 even further expands on the Organelle's capabilities, including WIFI (and Ableton Link), opening up OLED graphics and support for non-Pure Data patches, like those written with SuperCollider.

Slightly over 2 years after its release Organelle now comes with over 60 factory instruments ("patches") and dozens of additional ones created by the Organelle user community, including ports of the popular Mutable Instruments Eurorack modules.

In this clip I explain what the Organelle is, what’s new and why it’s important as an open source instrument. I’ll show what Pure Data is and how one patch made it’s way through four different developers that over time all contributed (without knowing each other, or that it will end up on Organelle) by "standing on each others’ shoulders" via open source to bring Mutable Instruments Grids ("Take the user interface of an euclidean sequencer, a healthy dose of machine learning and graph algorithms, megabytes of drum loops, hours of intensive computations and you’ve got a drum pattern generator like no other”) to the Organelle, wirelessly synchronized to an iOS device via Ableton Link."

TechTax - Modular Synthesizer Workshop in Spokane Washington

Published on Dec 28, 2017 Giszmo

"TechTax is a non-profit based out of Spokane, WA focused on bringing electronic music to the masses."

https://technologicaltaxidermy.com

"CONCEPT:

A Non-Profit community resource, promoting a simple concept: Self Expression Through Electronic Music.

We've broken our program into 3 basic elements:

1.) Education - Workshops and Demos of all shapes and sizes.

2.) Exploration - Open house events focused on discovery & collaboration. Bring something to work on, ask questions, make mistakes, meet new friends, etc...

3.) Live Performance - Artist showcase events where students are encouraged to share their progress with an audience of their peers (all are welcome).

Whether its through the teaching of workshops held at one of our partnering spaces, or the hosting of live showcase events (similar to “Modular on the Spot”), TT hopes to spark interest in electronic music and modular synthesis; ultimately furthering community involvement.

PRIMARY GOAL:

Basically, we want to give Spokane a resource to help grow its electronic music scene. Through holding events and teaching workshops we will plant seeds and give support to anyone interested in becoming an electronic artist."
