Creating Gestural Sound Effects with the Intellijel Planar Module
Richard Devine setups this patch to work on a sound design project for a client, which needed unique transformer like power ups and electrical like swooshes.
“I borrowed the patch idea from another fellow sound designer friend Joseph Fraioli who came up with the original patch. I then took that and further added and tweaked a few things to adapt it to this project. The planar X/Y CV out is controlling the pitch of three different sound sources, intellijel cyclebox, and two intellijel Dixies. There is also multiple outs going to three different delay modules, Synthesis Technology E580, MakeNoise Echophon, and Doepfer BBD. This is just a short excerpt from that session of recordings.”
iKaossilator Jungle Jam
iKaossilator Jungle Jam
The “iKaossilator” app was ranked the number one selling app* in the music section of the App Store internationally, and now it’s been updated to Version 2.1! With the new ability to import audio loops, it’s a great companion for the Kaossilator 2. While retaining its accessibility for musicians and non-musicians alike, as well as its ability to create tracks at the touch of a finger, iKaossilator has evolved to a new level that goes beyond the realm of synthesizers.
iKaossilator Version 2.1 Highlights
- Audio Loop Import
- Seamless operation in tandem with the Kaossilator 2
- Support for “AudioPaste”
Korg microSTATION Demo

Keio organ – Korg
MicroStation offers unprecedented portability, the stunning sound of Korg’s EDS-i synth engine (M3, M50), dual arpeggiators, and phenomenal effects; all the tools you would expect in a keyboard/workstation housed in a smaller – and extremely affordable – package.
Whether performing or composing, the on-board sequencer can be anything from an extra set of hands or a powerful drum machine up to a full-blown MIDI production suite. Loop Recording, Grid Sequencing, Song Templates, and One-Step recording features make it easy for anyone to achieve professional results.
New single out from KUBO (PolyDroid/Empire State Human/The Warp)
Brian O’Malley (PolyDROID) and Aidan Casserly (The Wazp, Empire State Human) have started a new project called KUBO. Their debut single “I Dream Electric” will be out on the UK based minimal wave label Vocoder Tapes.
The May 3rd released single will be released in a limited edition of 50 individually numbered cassettes, plus digital formats, and is available right now through Vocoder Tapes’ Bandcamp page. You can stream the tracks below.
It’s not the first time that the duo teams up for a project having first recorded electronic music together in 1986 under the name ManSeries. They kept collaborating in various forms over the years, including the very early days of Empire State Human as well as a film scores for the Brian O’Malley directed short “Screwback”.
The Undulating Noise Machine
The undulating noise machine comes with 2 modules. A player which loops samples of white, pink and brown noise (the sound at the same speed as the resting human heart rate (60 bpm) ). The second module allows you to create an ambience by adding effects and rhythmic motions by simply drawing a motion on the dedicated pad. Unfortunately, there is no record feature, despite this I will rate it as a Killer App, because of its great UI and for the fun that you have in creating an ambience.
