I Turned a 1920's Typewriter into a MIDI Controller
video by William Sun Petrus

"whenever a hammer contacts with the "live plate", it will send a signal to the arduino. The arduino recognises which hammer has been pressed and fires a signal into my PC via the cable, and into Ableton. Ableton sees some MIDI information and understands that it needs to trigger that specific sound. This song is composed of 17 difference sounds, played live for you, right here, right now. This typewriter is actually just a small part of a much bigger project, so there's still a lot more to come!"

[How To Play] 1920's Typewriter EDM MIDI Controller

video by William Sun Petrus

"The reaction on this mini project has been incredible - i'm surprised we hit the 100+ likes mark so quickly! As promised, here is the Ableton project file for you to play with! It's super simple and you can play this on any MIDI controller with buttons/keys on it. Rearrange the samples to fit your hands better, make a remix, perform a cover, build that thing you thought of a few years ago. There's a midi helper file inside the project with everything you need to know if you get stuck :)"

JSI Polymoog Resonator

via this auction

"JSI Polymoog Resonator desktop module.

It's essentially the resonator section from a Moog Polymoog.

Here's some info from the JSI website:

'Resonator is a Polymoog inspired formant filter that is intended to emulate static resonances that are typical for acoustic instruments. Its three non-overlapping bands have frequency, gain, and emphasis or resonance controls.

All three bands can be switched between Low pass, High pass, and two Band pass modes (Band pass 'notch').'"

JSI also makes the PROGUE, Moog Rogue & Prodigy desktop synth. This is the first post to feature the JSI Resonator. Curious if it's based on the JH Resonator.

Trax Retrowave R-1

via this auction

"Very cool and I suppose somewhat rare analog mono synth. It’s built like a tank and has a nice selection of midi and/or CV control for standalone use or incorporating into a larger setup. I’d say it’s most similar to a Yamaha CS-5 with even more modulation options and without the hassle of vintage gear."

You can find a few demos in previous posts here.

26-The Arturia PolyBrute-Effects-Reverb

video by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the reverb effect on the Arturia PolyBrute.

The theme for this demonstration was recorded by multitracking the Arturia PolyBrute in order to provide the various parts necessary. The drums were assembled out of loops from Apple’s GarageBand."
