"http://chrisrandall.bandcamp.com for more music like this.

Another no-DAW experiment. The Analog Four is sequencing the Oberheim SEM via its first CV outputs, and is sending a clock track and a trigger sequence to the Eurorack via its second set of CV outputs. In this way, I can control three separate sounds in addition to the four available in the A4 itself. The SEM and Eurorack audio outputs are going back in to the A4 via its audio inputs, and then the A4's stereo outputs are recorded in the camera. No DAW, no MIDI, no plug-ins, no computer at all."

"Got the SEM back from the shop, with all its janky bits fixed, and hooked it to the Analog Four for a quick late-night jam-a-thon. All sequencing done with the Analog Four. SEM does bass, Euro modular does those little beep-boop sounds, everything else from the A4. No plug-ins, no DAW."

Touchscreen Sequencer Test

Published on May 25, 2013 Cranda11·47 videos

"This is a quick demo of Yet Another Touchscreen Music App. I'm trying to come up with a global live performance / songwriting app for the touch interface, and this is my seventh attempt. Definitely getting closer. Still have to add the sound-sculpting interface; this is just a quick demo of the step sequencer scene switching."

R6 Touchscreen Control Test

Published on Nov 18, 2012 by Cranda11
"Another touchscreen control app experiment. The audio is synthesized entirely in Max/MSP. No samples or plug-ins were harmed in the making of this video. The control app was built in Cinder, and is running on a 23" Hewlett Packard touchscreen monitor. (I think the particular model number is "POS" if you're curious.)"

multi-touch monitor emulation of monome driving mlr

"This is a simple app I knocked up in Cinder that emulates the basic functionality of a 16x16 monome. I'm using it to control Brian Crabtree's mlr looping app for Max/MSP. Information on the monome: http://www.monome.org"

"Another Sunday jam, continuing my "old-skool IDM" phase, apparently. This one has a drum loop sliced in the Maschine as the main sound component, along with simple little synth lines from MeeBlip and AniMoog (in order of appearance.) The bass is coming from Massive.

When you see me peck that little Akai MIDI controller occasionally, I'm triggering Audio Damage Replicant's MIDI slicing features, and I have the knobs on the Akai mapped to the two filter frequencies and the "Reverse Random" slider. The only other effects are the Roland RE-201 Space Echo (on the two synth lines) and the Eventide Space (on various other things, for texture.)"

"Having a bit of improv with some new kit. The bassline is done with the original MeeBlip; there are four two-measure MIDI clips in Ableton, and I'm randomly switching amongst them using follow actions. All drum and percussion sounds were created on a Yamaha TX81Z, then imported to and edited in the Maschine software.

Gear used: MeeBlip, MeeBlipSE, Native Instruments Maschine Mikro, SammichFM, DSI TETR4, Eventide Space, Eventide TimeFactor. Recorded with Ableton Live in one pass of live improv."

Phaedra iPad Sequencer First Look...

"This is a quick overview of the highlights of Phaedra, the "analog" style four-channel MIDI sequencer for iPads, coming soon from NaughtyPanther.

In this video, Phaedra is driving a DSI TETR4, a Doepfer modular synth, a Korg Monotribe, and an Eventide Space and TimeWorks. No DAW is used in the sequencing. Everything is being clocked from Phaedra."

Phaedra Sequencer for iPad

via Analog Industries, run by Chris Randall of Audio Damage.

"In my ludicrously ample free time, I've been working on this bad boy, Phaedra. It is an "analog" style four-channel MIDI sequencer for the iPad. Click the picture for the full-rez screenshot. In the interests of full disclosure, I borrowed heavily from the Moon Modular 568 Quad Sequential Trigger Source, which you can read all about up in here.

I still have a long way to go, but it is coming along nicely. Each step has note, velocity, gate time, and a pair of MIDI CCs of your choosing. I haven't yet coded in the chaining feature, but it'll be able to do 4 x 32, 2 x 64, and 1 x 128 modes. The steps can be 32nd note, 16th note, 8th trips, and 8th note, and each "bus" can run in arbitrary lengths. The "Live Control" knobs on the left can be used to modify one of the four destinations..."

Eventide Stompboxes Controlled From Modular Synth...

YouTube Uploaded by Cranda11 on Oct 22, 2011

"This video demonstrates using a simple custom cable to enable one to control Eventide stompboxes (or pretty much any digital stompbox) with a modular synth via the expression pedal port.

The cable consists of a mono 1/4" jack, wired to two jacks of whatever flavor your modular synth is. Just connect the tips only (not the sleeves) of all three jacks. Plug the 1/4" jack in to the Eventide pedal's Expression Pedal port, and the two other jacks in to the in and out of a VCA in your modular synth. Then you can send CV to the CV-In of the VCA, and this will control the pedal as if it were an expression pedal.

"Inadvertently demoing doing on-the-fly song arrangement using the 16 Mutes mode of the DSI Tempest. This one also features the Audio Damage Beepcat Beagleboard synth prototype (it's the high-pitched thing I'm controlling with that dumb Akai MPKmini I hacked to act like the Beepcat control surface; you can see the Beagleboard sitting on the Juno 60.) The wubwubwub synth is the Meeblip.
