Trying out slideshow plugins/services

This is some random pic off my desktop along with a randomly selected song.

They have a paid version that leaves it logo free and add titles I think.

Circles

This is a video project I did over the summer using FinalCut Pro. The video is from www.archive.org and the sound is by phineus + twine. Andy's "sax" part is guitar thru a MIDI converter. The sequencing is all done on a Quasimidi 309 beatbox. The music ends when we throw too much MIDI at the 309 and it freezes-up.

Max/MSP 2-way communication w/ iPod (or iPad!)

Fantastik from Pink Twins connects your iPod/iPod Touch, and soon iPad, to your Max/MSP music programs. And it's free. Uses the standard UDPSend and UDPReceive Max objects. The iPad version is on its way to AppStore...

Livid Ohm 64 Review

More people should subscribe to the world's greatest Audio publication: TapeOp

My review of the Livid Ohm 64 is on page 58...



I previously reviewed the monome 40h, in my opinion still the best illuminated button controller ever, result of one of the most-inspiring DIY projects I know.

Stribe Proto sample mixing

This is a primitive Max/MAP sequencer app for mixing samples and triggering MIDI with the stribe. On-screen the grid sequencer triggers a sample to begin. Depending on tempo, more or less of the sample is played. Some short sounds are triggered repeatedly. Stopping the sequencer and/or removing trigger points allows sounds to continue playing to conclusion.

BTW this is an early Stribe Proto mod'd to run Curious Inventor firmware. A neat happy accident is that I can put the cursors and the level meters on the same LEDs.

Further Max programming is required to get toggle control over "chunks" of LEDs to add button-like effects (for loading samples, paging, etc).

Tanais Fox's 16-stribe project gets fancy

Check out these images on Make Blog of Tanais Fox's drawing for a milled aluminum case to hold 16 stribe1 kits.

stretta gets some well-deserved attention. Gotta check me out (e.g. afford) this M4L thing!

Cymatics = Visual Sound

 

Cymatics Scientist Says Sound is a Bubble, Not a Wave by Jodina Meehan
Check out the cool article linked above...

I've always thought of sound waves this way, but had never seem them represented like this. This is a great way to think about sound when mic'ing instruments or creating sound art.

"A max/msp patch that uses a monome 40h and a stribe to emulate a Suzuki Omnichord."

It's wonderful to see music being made with a stribe1 alongside a monome.

Novation’s new monome controller in action. 3-color buttons, seamless integration with Ableton Live. Only apparent drawback is it only does MIDI via Automap mode. But at only $200! street it's definitely worth exploring.

I wonder when they're gonna make a Stribe?

Chladni form as output?

Weird thought of the day:

Thinking about capturing 2D blobs and turning them into sound. What about 2D blobs made by sound?

What if you videotaped the changing design on a chladni plate and then used software to turn that video into sound?



I posted earlier about a Chladni plate powered by a speaker.
