Published on Oct 15, 2019 Polyend

"A short video tutorial explaining why it's worth having both the Preset module and Seq sequencer has turned into a more musical of a trip.

With the help of invaluable Poly 2 converter Seq is steering 3x Mutable Instruments Plaits, Erica Synths DSP and Intellijel Plonk while the Preset module is changing their settings and automating their modulations by a press of a single pad.

Voice Ping Strum by Michael William Gilbert, Electronic Music Composer

"On the 40th​ anniversary of the release of 'Moving Pictures' and in commemoration, MWGilbert has a new release, exclusively on vinyl. The title, '​Voice Ping Strum​' is an anagram of 'Moving Pictures'. This new album was composed using a Eurorack modular synthesizer; especially noteworthy in his rig is the full range of Tall Dog Electronics Eurorack modules, which feature prominently on the recording. The only other sound sources used were sampled piano & sampled voices. There are 2 suites, 1 on each side. These have been described as more intricate than ambient, and more ambient than not!

Available from Burning Shed Records and Perfect Circuit

MW Gilbert has been composing and recording actively from the 1970's through the present. In 1979 he released his 1​st LP, 'Moving Pictures', with the goal of humanizing electronic music, using wooden flutes, percussion, and voice to complement synthesized sounds and textures. After 7 more albums, in 2018 he released 'Radio Omnibus', with cutting edge electronic music, two acoustic chamber pieces, and featuring Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson) and Mark Walker (Oregon, Lyle Mays).

MW Gilbert grew up in the US and Belgium. While living in Europe he encountered the music of Varese, Stockhausen, and Pierre Henry, as well as the music of India, Africa, and Japan. After studying electrical engineering at MIT, he continued studies at the Boston School of Electronic Music, and became a teacher there. He graduated with a degree in music from Hampshire College, and then served as the technical director of electronic music studios at Amherst College, Smith College, Hampshire College, and UMass Amherst. He has taught electronic music at Hampshire College, UMass Amherst, & Holyoke Community College.

New mioX and mioXM MIDI Interfaces from iConnectivity

via iConnectivity

"Today's a big day for us; it's the day we launch what we humbly believe are our best MIDI interfaces to date, the mioX series.

mioXL and mioXM offer super-charged network connectivity. Now you can use the power of the network to connect piles of computers (Mac, PC, and mobile devices). Additionally, there's more USB ports for peripherals and onboard presets.

If you are in need of MIDI connectivity, these interfaces are incomparable.

mioXL is our all-new flagship MIDI interface.

Taking the form of a 1U rackmount unit, mioXL features vast DIN-MIDI, USB-MIDI, and RTP/Network-MIDI connectivity. mioXL is an ideal choice for studio installations or MIDI intensive live rigs requiring huge amounts of connectivity.

What you'll notice straight away about the mioXL is its new, high-resolution OLED display and encoder, alongside obscene amounts of physical connectivity. 8-in 12-out DIN-MIDI ports, 10xUSB-MIDI ports and also 22 virtual RTP/Network-MIDI ports.

Brand new to the mioXL is also the ability to save and recall presets directly from the front panel of the interface. Perfect for DAW-less rigs or complex live setups.

It's XL by name and XL by nature; it's impossible to pack any more MIDI connectivity inside a 1U rackmount interface. Believe us, we tried!

mioXL makes you the master of your own MIDI domain

mioXM takes the fundamental architecture of the flagship mioXL and places it within a compact, half unit space enclosure.

Like its big brother, the mioXL, mioXM has unprecedented RTP/Network-MIDI connectivity. 12 virtual network ports, per mioXM, lets you assign an RTP/Network-MIDI port(s) for each of your connected peripherals and/or computing devices, and access them from virtually anywhere.

4 user-definable presets can be saved to the mioXM and recalled from the capacitive touch panel on the front of the interface. These allow you to quickly toggle between your four favourite configurations with a single tap.

Ideal for moderate-sized MIDI setups operating without a computer or any systems that require switching between multiple configurations on-the-fly.
mioXM is an ideal choice for compact, portable MIDI applications, or multiple placements throughout a studio, stage, or venue."

DIY analogue synthesizer jam

Published on Oct 14, 2019 SpamSundays

"Here's a project that I've been working on for a long time now. It has two AS3340 based VCOs, outputting either ramp or square wavefroms that can be mixed together the latter of which having a pulse width control knob, which can be modulated as well.

Other circuits include a simple VCA and an envelope with attack and decay controls, a resonant VCF and an LFO with sine, triangle and square waves. I also included a real tube distortion running at 120 volts B+ (non of that starved plate BS) to add some more harmonics to the sound. As a final touch I added a third 555 oscillator which can hard sync both VCOs for some more fun.

PWM, filter cutoff and the hard sync oscillator all can be modulated to make some absolutely crazy sounds.

Here's a patch I threw together with the Korg SQ-1 and some reverb coming from the Zoom MS70-CDR.

Enjoy!"

"Ambient techno music, similar to Pete Namlook or early Autechre. Mood lighting (bisexual cyberpunk lighting), modular synth (Doepfer A-100), TR-808 style drums (Tiptop Audio). Relaxing beats to work or study to."
