"Synplode: To experience the convergence of time and space, sometimes through sound and light.
This video illustrates the Synplode Project produced on a small scale. Synplode may be produced on a human scale, as big as a tennis court.

"Sick with a cold, Miette keeps me company while I take a 1st test drive of my newly created iOS Midi Touch controller for the Moog Slim Phatty. I'm controlling the MSP arpeggiator and using it's MIDI output to play the drums on my circuit-bent Yamaha QY10. Also sloppily playing the tiny keyboard on the QY10. The audio from the QY10 is partially routed back to the Moog for processing. My bent megaphone toy offering some echo on the drums. The crappy Boss mixer & homemade stereo amp make the cats ears twitch."

The melody is borrowed from Kraftwerk and I had help from RZ-1 with it, so thanks goes to him. I use two channels of the 292e to be able to control the filtering a bit better."

"This project has been a long time coming, but the first prototype is finally done. Still some minor changes to be made, mainly around the filter and a CV input for the filter. Im currently developing a kit, contact me if you're interested.
-2 triangle oscillators with fine tune knob for those tearing slow drones.
-2 triangle LFO's with interchangable capacitors to set the range.
-LFO amount for both sides
-LED reflector rate indicators
-custom filter with resonance control
-on/off and volume
sorry for the bad video quality, my camera is old and doesn't like low lighting conditions. The audio was recorded raw into ableton live directly from the output without any filtering or effects."

Akai S612 Sampler MD280 QD Drive, w/ Disks!!!
via this auction"Akai S612 rack mount sampler, with MD280 QD disk drive, 11 Roland "Quick Disks" and printed manual... Interesting features of these units are the manual start/splice sliders for some interesting triggered effects, on-board LFO, a light filter, and looping effect. These 12-bit samplers were among the first digital samplers on the scene in the early 80's, and while don't have a large capacity or complicated sound reproduction, lo-fi or general phrase sampling is extremely easy to record and play back. Roland Quick Disks I have provided have Roland sound samples which are not readable by the unit, however, a small piece of tape over the square holes in the corners will allow you to record your own samples to disk with no problems. Quick disks are HARD to find, these were all that were available for a while."

SLABS: Arrays of Pressure Sensitive Touch Pads
This is a follow-up to the previous post. See that post for some events where you can check out SLABs in person. Some info via UC Berkeley's Center for New Music & Audio Technologies:
"Goal
Arrays of pressure sensitive touch pads provide musicians with an expressive interface that can be mapped by software to behave in a variety of ways. The SLAB was designed to engage the body, to be both musically expressive and inspiring, to be easy to play at the entry level, and to be accepting of a lifelong development of virtuosity. Instead of discrete triggering mechanisms to start and stop musical events we chose continuous signal representations as the basis for the instrument. We chose Ethernet for I/O and wrote specialized Core Audio compatible drivers for OSX allowing us to send gesture data as audio data. As a consequence, gestures are tightly coupled to the sound.
One SLAB contains 24 touch pads and another has 32. We chose Interlinks’s VersaPad because of its pressure output. The x, y, and pressure of each pad is sent at 44.1 kHertz. On the SLABS32 there are 96 channels. Core Audio and Max/MSP handle this number of channels with ease using only a small percentage of the CPU. The data from the pad sensors is assembled in a Xilinx FPGA which also provides for an audio return path and connections to MIDI (Input Only) and Light Pipe. The SLABS use the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol for programming a small display and two LED’s associated with each pad. OSC is sent to the host computer from the selector switches at the top of each column of pads."Be sure to see UC Berkeley's Center for New Music & Audio Technologies for additional details and video.
Roger Linn Events Featuring Eigenharp, Haken & SLABS
This in via Eigenharp:"I'm writing to let you know about four events We will be attending in the San Francisco area from May 5th through 9th, Hosted by Roger Linn of Linn drum fame. We will be presenting the Eigenharps along with other revolutionary electronic instruments:
1) The Eigenharp, demonstrated by Geert Bevin, Senior Software Developer from UK-based Eigenlabs.
2) The Continuum from Haken Audio, demonstrated by bay area pianist Ed Goldfarb.
3) SLABS, a new instrument designed by David Wessel, director of Cal Berkeley's CNMAT computer music department.
4) The LinnStrument prototype by Roger Linn [see this video presentation of Roger Linn and this post announcing the Linnstrument back on May 15 of 2010.]
One thing that makes these instruments so uniquely expressive is their ability to sense the precise movements of each finger in 3-dimensional space (for example, pressure for note expression, left/right for pitch, and forward/backward for timbre), and to do that for all fingers simultaneously. But each instrument also presents many other innovative ideas and improvements over the limitations of traditional mechanical-age instruments.
Here are the events:
Thursday, May 5 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Audio (CCRMA)
660 Lomita Dr. Stanford, CA 94305
Directions: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/about/directions
