Jim's Tips & Tricks: MIDI Guitar Control of Little Phatty - Shredder for iPad

YouTube Published on Jul 15, 2012 by jimmclaren1

"Apologies for the dark, grainy video! Was in the moment and just turned the camera on and didn't bother to set up the light ;)

This is a video showing how you can cheaply control a MIDI keyboard (such as my Moog Little Phatty) with a guitar using the iPad app, SHREDDER (by Yonac Inc.).

Pitch to MIDI control, tracking isn't amazing but I feel like it's kinda cool anyway. Decided to try a little jam to see what I could do with the setup. Thanks for watching!

Finally getting my brain in to the GENOME Midi Sequencer, by White Noise Audio. It is VERY COOL!

Using network MIDI, I've connected the iPad2 (running Genome/Arctic Keys/BS-16i/NLog Pro), to an iPhone 4 (running Sunrizer) and an iPod Touch (running Arctic Keys).

Also, via an iRig MIDI connector on the iPad, am sending a MIDI signal to a Moog Little Phatty as well. Can you believe this all works! I have a pretty strong WiFi signal, so the iPhone/iPod Touch work well and there isn't any discernible latency.

Presumably I could run my other iPod touch as well, with a compatible virtual MIDI app. I also have a MIDI splitter box, so the idea of sending to more MIDI hardware is also a idea (or by chaining with MIDI THRU).

The possibilities are great with Genome!

Thanks for watching!"

Jim's Tips & Tricks: Moog Filter CV Glitchy Bass Jam Part 2

YouTube Published on May 12, 2012 by jimmclaren1

"jimmclaren.blogspot.com Please Subscribe!

Part two of a Filter CV exploration I did today - Glitchy Bass Jam!

Plugged M-Audio expression pedal in to the Filter CV input, then my Fender Jazz Bass into the EXT IN. Plugged a dummy plug into the KB GATE input so I wouldn't have to hold a key down to make the EXT IN work. Bass guitar jam with Moog Bass synth as well, the OVERLOAD parameter is high, so it's kind of a glitchy fuzz sound.

Thanks for watching!"

Part one of a Filter CV exploration I did today. Plugging an iPhone with SyncKontrol for Monotribe sends a pulse to the Filter CV input of the Little Phatty. This makes the filter open momentarily when a pulse is sent, and the app can control the tempo of the pulses, allowing you to sync the sound to other music.
Enjoy!"

Beautiful May the 4th afternoon here, grabbed my Monotribe and a bunch of iOS devices and jammed on iMS-20, Kaossilator, Monotribe SyncKontrol and Geosynth!

I must say the most complicated part of this whole operation was finding enough 1/8" cables to plug everything into the mixer! Thanks for watching!"

"An additional video to go along with my other video regarding mixing the Animoog iPad app with the Moog Little Phatty. Setting keyboard priority to LOW NOTE lets you use the rest of the keyboard to trigger the Animoog polyphonically. Here are some improvised examples of this technique.
