New Music Toolbox: Synthesizing Environmental Sounds by Peter Speer

4-part series playlist above by New Music USA. You can find the write-up on https://newmusicusa.org/nmbx/synthesi...

"Let’s do a quick exercise: listen to a sound, any sound (a baby crying, a phone ringing), and ask yourself: can I hum it? Trace the movement of the sound with your hand in the air and observe: is it rising and falling in a pattern? The answers to these questions point toward the equipment needed to recreate them. I’d like to synthesize the sounds of the beach, in particular a memory I have of an afternoon spent there as a child. We’ll begin with the sound of ocean waves from the listening perspective of the shoreline. It’s low tide and the surf is mild. The sun hangs in the air, lazily.

S-CAT Circuit Bent Casio MT-40 with midi clock.

video upload by Space Cat Audio Technologies

"Here we have S-CAT Circuit bent instrument number 1075. We have been modifying instrument like this for some 15 years now. To celebrate the end of an era, we have added midi sync along with our usual 26-mods for a customer in Germany. Let me know what you think, as this is, as far as we know, the only Midi clocked Casio MT-40 in the world. We may consider supplying the midi retro-fit as a diy kit. :)"

Update:

Test run on the S-CAT midi synced Casio MT-40 Sleng-Teng and a Roland TR-909. Full audio. :)

"We have added midi clock input to the Casio MT-40, this is just an off the cuff jam to test that it’s running properly. :)"
