Bitty - Pocket-sized Drum Machine and Synthesizer by Curious Sound Objects

Published on Apr 30, 2019 Curious Sound Objects

Currently on Kickstarter

via Arduino.cc

"There are a wide variety of ways to create electronic music. For a capable machine that fits in the palm of your hand and is loud enough to use outdoors, however, it’s hard to imagine a battery-powered device cooler than Bitty from Curious Sound Objects.

The pocket-sized drum machine and synthesizer, currently on Kickstarter, was prototyped using an Arduino Nano and will be fully Arduino-compatible when released. This means that in addition to changing the sound and interface around with readily-available sound packs—which include Theremin Bitty, Techno Bitty, Basement Bitty, Trap Bitty, Lofi Bitty, and Beach Bitty—it can be programmed with the Arduino IDE. The device can even run sound software written for other Arduino boards.

Bitty features four sample trigger buttons, a pair of knobs, and a speaker. Designed for entry-level EDM enthusiasts and studio musicians alike, you can play the drums and melodies manually, as well as trigger patterns to produce dance music or hip hop beats. These can be chosen via the left knob, while the right knob handles pitch, note selection, and arpeggiation."

Grapevine [Episode 137]

Published on May 3, 2019 CatSynth TV

"Time-lapse video driving north from Los Angeles, starting on I-405 north of the Getty Center, merging onto I-5, and continuing north through the Santa Clarita Valley and onto The Grapevine through the Tehachapi Mountains and Tejon Pass. The video ends with the descent into California's Central Valley at the split of I-5 and CA 99.

The music is "Xi" by Amanda Chaudhary, off of her album Aquatic. It was recorded in 2003 using an E-MU Proteus 2000 module with Vintage Pro, Mo'Phatt, and Beat Garden ROMs. There is also acoustic udu drum in the recording.

Aquatic is available via Bandcamp https://amandachaudhary.bandcamp.com/..."

In The Lab ARP 2500

Published on May 3, 2019 David Baron

"Created entirely with the Arp 2500 Modular Synthesizer. A very rare synthesizer that was the chief competitor to Moog during the late 60s and early 70s. Most of them were sold to rockstars (Pete Townshend) or universities. A large system was used to communicate with the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

"A random play with my modified SH101 sequencing itself and a Boomstar 4075 attached to it via CV and GATE. The SH101 is receiving midi clock from a Beatstep Pro via a Kenton Control Freak which is controlling the second ADSR and LFO included in the tubbutec SH1oh1 modification."
