The Teletron
My version of the Teletron, a mind-to-synthesizer interface conceived by Robert Schneider of The Apples in Stereo based on Mattel’s Mindflex game. Using a wireless (2.4ghz) headset, my brainwaves are converted to a variable DC voltage. This voltage can be used as a control voltage for analog synthesizers.
What you are hearing is the Moog Voyager modulated by my brain waves amplified and converted to voltage. The DC output of the Mindflex is routed to the Moog CP-251 and sent to the Voyager’s pitch and filter as well as the rate of the Moog Murf.
Extreme Granulator Control Experiment
This is a fun test of the monome arc app platesHD controlling parameters of Robert Henke’s M4L patch Granulator.
platesHD is basically a drawable LFO that is controlled by the monome arc. The HD version produces high resolution control ranges suitable for precision control way beyond midi’s 127 CC values.
This works nicely for slowly scrubbing through a long sample or controlling things such as grain duration.
Thus was a quick iPhone grab, so the audio and video quality are not good. But that was not the goal here.
Ralf And Florian: the Kraftwerk sitcom
Just discovered in a Dusseldorf car boot sale is this rare pilot for the uncommissioned Kraftwerk sitcom, “Ralf and Florian”.
Shame it never made it, as Ralf Hutter has great comic timing and could have been the next Alf Garnet.
Stretta on modulars, Max and Monome
Matthew Davidson (Stretta) discusses his work, modular synthesizers, the Monome, and Max for Live. Video by Stretta.
Xenobioz- Kruud
Kruud VSTI is a synthesizer with a drawable low resolution Oscillator.
1 LFO/SUB OSC
2 LFOS
3 ADSRS
2 Delays of which one can be used to make crude physical modelling.
An Arpeggiator
A multimode filter
The main Osc has 5 basic waveforms , Pink and white Noise and a drawable user waveform.
The waveforms have different modes like Phase Mod, PWM (Square only) and a special morph mode (listed as PWM in the synth) for all but the square wave.
The user waveform can mix or morph between two waveforms.
Propellerhead Software in the Classroom
For the past 10 years music producers, beat-makers, sound designers, and game composers have made Reason’s highly creative environment a mainstay of their toolbox. All the while Reason has become a mainstay of the education process as well.
To see how Propellerhead Software’s Reason 5, Record 1.5, and Recycle are being taught in the classroom, we visited some top institutions around the world. These educators let us into their classrooms and studios to discuss how they’re leveraging the power of the Reason rack to teach not only in-the-box desktop audio production, but hardware-based studio production and even studio wiring/design as well.

Doctor P Yoi Tutorial (Massive)
The first one demonstrates how to make a similar synth to the one heard in Doctor P’s tracks using two of the raw synths in massive, panning 1 left and the other one right with added effects. Automate the attack for some nastiness. The second video is a how to make a pulsing pad tutorial using the the raw synth sound with automated macro controls with added effects.
Number 1:
This is a tutorial to make a Pulsing Pad. This is just the raw synth, automate the macro controls and add some FX for best results!. Goes really well with some dark bleeps!

Metasonix R-series
Here’s a nice demo of the Metasonix R. A brief demonstration of what the Metasonix eurorack modules sound like on their own.. The initial ~30sec is through a Cwejman sph-2 spatial phaser. Some Eventide timefactor delay near the end. Everything else is only the 5 R-modules being modulated by a VILFO and controlled by the Doepfer a-198 ribbon controller.
The patch is:
– 2 R-54 oscs into R-53 ringmod
– R-53 to R-52 filter
– R-52 to R-51 VCA
– pittsburgh VILFO to R-53 carrier CVin
– A-198 position CV to R54 CVin, gate CV to R-51 VCA CV in
– A-198 pressure CV to R-53 Sweep CV in & R-53 pulserCV in, gate CV to VILFO CV1 in
– A Wiard Envelator is patched between the A-198 gate and whatever it’s controlling, for slopes and decay
Yamaha RMX1
The RM1x is a great new pattern based instant dance music machine! It sounds great! The patterns are perfect and inspiring forms of dub, bigbeatz, 2 step, trance, house, hardcore and more with tons of great analog-like sounds and drum kits. The RM1x also features plenty of effects, filters, knobs, and MIDI control.
