Tangible Patching of U-HE ACE with Percussa AudioCubes and MidiBridge v3
by synthesist Mark Mosher, Boulder, CO. MarkMosherMusic.com
In this video I’m using Percussa’s wireless AudioCubes change the cable patching of the U-HE ACE virtual analog synthesizer on-the-fly with no mouse. The U-HE ACE synthesizer allows you to use MIDI CCs to map the source for any cable. Percussa MIDIBridge 3 for Wireless AudioCubes has a new “Topology” mode that allows you to send MIDI note trigger information as well as distance data (MIDI CCs) at the same time for up to 16 cubes simultaneously! This video shows some of my early tests and ideas for leveraging these features by pairing AudioCubes with ACE. Of course these are baby steps for what is possible and these same techniques could be applied to other instruments – and even hardware instruments via MIDI or MIDI-to-CV.

Soniocipher – one completely unnecessary tool for Kontakt
Virtual drum machine for Kontakt, where sequencer program is being derived from a text string.
see: http://waveforms.fairlyconfusing.net/…
Soniocipher, is one completely unnecessary tool, which can convert a text string to machine drum sequence. The practical uses of this device are severely limited, as there is no backward conversion tool. However, it makes noises and it has blinking lights, so it’s quite fun for those, who enjoy such activities.
The machine is quite simple to use, you use virtual keyboard to type in text, then press “enter” to decode it into sound sequence. “Play” button in upper right corner starts sequence playback.
Sonocipher is free to download for Kontakt 4.24 or newer (full version). Download includes samples.
