Teeter – Tangible Sequencing Instrument
This turntable based, free-time sequencer uses laser reflections to detect the distance of pegs as they pass by a camera and in turn trigger samples.
Programmed in Max/Msp, the PS3Eye camera calculates the distance of objects based on where the red dot reflection of the laser is on the y-axis of its lens. Up to 8 steps can be tracked reliably across the y-axis, with timing left completely free to the user to place pegs adhering to the visual grid or not.
GRP A4 filtering Acidlab MIAMI
The mighty GRP A4 Synthesizer receives audio out from MIAMI Acidlab; signal goes into RingMod (with VCO 2), Env Foll (for VCFs articulation and Gate extraction). A small touch of AutoPan for animation…
MIAMI is an analog drumcomputer based on the circuits of the 808.

Background video description:
My patches. Some are tweaked factory and some are tweaked downloads. No external effects are used. A demo of the instrument, not a recital. No sir.
Roland MSQ-700, Bit 99 and TR-505
Jamming with the Roland MSQ-700, a simple but effective hardware sequencer from 1984. A (Crumar) Bit 99 offers the synth sounds, and a Roland TR-505 provides the beat.
In the days before DAWs, hardware sequencers were often used to build the structure of synth-based songs of the ’80s.

Time machine: Demo of the Roland Jupiter-4
Vintage synthesizer demo track by RetroSound
all synthesizer sounds self programmed: Roland Jupiter-4 Analog Synthesizer from the year 1978
drums: Roland TR-808
recording: multi-tracking without midi, the TR-808 is triggered the JP-4 arpeggiator in random mode
fx: a bit reverb and delay
For me has the Jupiter-4 the best sound from the Jupiter family. Very raw and powerfull.
more info: http://www.retrosound.de
The first Jupiter synth. It was among one of the first poly synthesizers (4 individual voices which could be synced together for one fat monophonic lead), it had a pitch wheel that could be assigned to the VCA, VCF, VCO or all together, there are 8 memory locations and a cool arpeggiator – the arpeggiator can be heard in the Duran Duran classic, “Rio”. It also has a very slow LFO for those ever-so-long filter sweeps. Pretty good for 1978!
Not so cool however, are the 10 preset sounds which sound nothing like the piano, brass or strings they claim to be. The placement of all the preset buttons below the keyboard can be inconvenient, especially while playing it. And as with most old analog synths, the Jupiter-4′s tuning can go out often. Still it is a nice analog synth for creating weird trippy analog sounds.
Classic interviews with synth pioneers in new eBook
Historical interviews with the most famous electro musicians in the world have appeared in a new eBook.
The Electro Legend Interviews features interviews conducted over the past 20 years and taken from the archives of Computer Music and Future Music magazine.
Revealing their music-making techniques and inspirations are: Aphex Twin, Gary Numan, The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett, Vince Clarke, Kraftwerk’s Wolfgang Flür, Moby, Hot Chip, Alec Empire and Ultravox’s Midge Ure.
Available for just £2.99, the book sheds light on The Prodigy’s place in the early rave scene, with Liam Howlett explaining in a 1993 interview that”When rave dies there are always going to be people who will still want to dance, so as long as we keep coming out with original songs we’ll still be around…”
Meanwhile, Gary Numan discusses his classic Replicas album. Addressing the cover art, he says: “The character on the cover is called a Machman – he’s looking out on the world, looking out at the park. Outside of the park, there’s a man in a grey coat and a grey hat, which was a ghost I saw when I was much younger…”
Elsewhere reclusive genius Aphex Twin gives one of his only ever interviews. “If you plan to be good at anything, it has to happen using your own ideas. It’s inevitable. It’s exactly like natural selection,” he muses.
Speaking exclusively about the early days of Kraftwerk, WolfgangFlür comments: “We were young, shy and childish! We loved to construct things and we never thought we would get famous from that.”
The book also features Vince Clarke revealing his computer music-making secrets. “Once you’ve got the hang of the computer and the software,” he says, “then you’ve still got to write the songs…”
And discussing the history of Ultravox, Midge Ure reveals that: “In those early days, a lot of musicians saw synths as electronic guitars. We just started going bang-bang-bang. Suddenly, you got this blast of unearthly noise and it changed the musical landscape.”
