MLR in Reaktor!


"The original MLR was written in Max/Msp by Brian Crabtree, inventor of the Monome. I have rebuilt his program in another language, Reaktor for many reasons: to best understand how a program works, bottom up; because I would like to see the program have more functionality, and I am more fond/capable of/with Reaktor over Max/Msp; and because Reaktor adds certain features that Max/Msp does not allow for. For one, the ability to use any program created in Reaktor as a VST, automatically in your favorite DAW.

After I am complete advancing the program the way I would like to in Reaktor, I will code it in C as a standalone program."

QuNeo & FX


YouTube Uploaded by KeithMcMillen on Jan 5, 2012

"In this video, Pressure, X, and Y CCs have been mapped to different parameters on 16 audio effects allowing for dynamic and performative audio mangling. Each Pad turns effects on and off, as well as tweaks their knobs and tickles their faders. Vertical sliders change volume, horizontal sliders mix in more audio effects, the long slider cross-fades, and the rotaries are tempo control. Very fun to play, very expressive, and very exciting."

I think they surpassed their goal. $124,874 of $15,000 as of this post.

"QuNeo is a powerful controller for any expressive art. Putting multiple parameters into each pad allows fun effective mapping of gestures onto video generation and processing. Here QuNeo is controlling Isadora video software but can work with any program."

Inhalt & the Uber Rare SMS Salamander Modular


via matia: "I wanted to send you a little teaser pic of my new synth room called The Lab. It's the sister site to our main production and recording facility called The Bunker.

I've been busy working on music and my project Inhalt had a release on vinyl in England on Andy Blake's World Unknown label. We also just signed with Dark Entries Records to release our debut 12 inch EP. Everything is done with analogue synths and drum machines and recorded on tape (both 2 inch and 1/4 inch)."

You can find the current World Unknown release at Phonica here.

Korg & Serge in there as well.

NAMM: Introducing K-Bow from Keith McMillen Instruments


YouTube Uploaded by KeithMcMillen on Jul 12, 2010

"violinist Julia Ogrydziak introduces the KBow by Keith McMillen Instruments.
visit us at http://www.keithmcmillen.com/kbow"

"* XYZ 3D Accelerometer - measures the playing force and angle of the bow
* Hair Tension Sensor - detects how hard the bow presses against the strings
* Grip Pressure Sensor - gives a measure of how hard you are gripping the bow
* Bow to Fingerboard - a measure of the distance you are playing from the fingerboard via the antennas embedded in the bow
* Bow Length - by interacting with the included fingerboard emitter, an infrared light sensor shows the distance from the bow frog to the strings of the instrument
* Bow Tilt - measures the angle of the bow, useful to know which string is being played"

Keith McMillen of course brought us the SoftStep and QuNeo alternate controllers. It looks like they are on a roll. See their website linked above for more and the Keith McMillen label below for posts featured here.
