the microTone – microtonal polyphonic synthesizer + controller for iPad
A little demo of the microTone with iRig MIDI and (free) osynth!
http://microtone.ozurkirchen.ch
i connected an iRig MIDI to my iPad with the microTone running. The MIDI signal goes via audio/MIDI interface into my computer where the data is parsed by osynth.
the microTone:
- control one octave fluently without steps. Just glide over the keyboard with up to 10 fingers!
- switch octaves or lowest/highest notes
- the microTone has an integrated polyphonic synthesizer with 8 different sound presets
- send pitch data over MIDI cable to your computer
- send pitch data over WiFi to your computer (receive MIDI or OSC data with e.g. max/MSP or OSCulator)
- receive microTone MIDI or OSC data with osynth: a free synthesizer, made for the microTone.
osynth:
- voice1: saw/sine with hpf
- voice2: white noise filtered with note frequency
- voice3: sine sub-osc
- voice4: sine osc one octave higher
- voice5: wavetable osc
- ADSR
- reverb
- stereo delay
- binaural FX
- pitch random modulator
- recallable presets
- connect the microTone with core MIDI over WiFi or cable
- connect the microTone with OSC over WiFi

New KOMA Elektronik CV Controller (Launch at NAMM’13!)
The Kontrol Surface is a touch controller device. In its Light version, it’s an X/Y touch controller with CV output. The Pro version adds MIDI so it works with both analog and digital gear, and ups the ante to three-axis X/Y/Z capacitive touch, here’s what KOMA has to say about it:
New developments at the KOMA Elektronik workspace! Yes, you thought the KOMMANDER was cool, look at what’s cooking in our kitchen:
This is the first prototype of our new product: the KONTROL SURFACE! A 2-axis touch screen controller! As of now for each channel (X and Y) has:
- 1 x CV output
- 1 x inverted CV output
- Manual gate output
Each channel also has a hold function, so it will hold the current CV value as soon as the hold button is pressed. Not yet implemented but in development is a sort of ‘momentary/clocked hold function’, that means that a value is only taken and processed according to a provided external clock signal OR without a clock signal attached only when there are changes in the values, so you could lift of your finger from the pad, it will hold the value and as soon as you touch the controller on another point it will start processing again and so on and so forth…
Furthermore we are going to make the Kontrol Surface into a ‘Light’ and a ‘Pro’ version. The light version will have all the functionalities as written above and as you can see in the video. The ‘Pro’ version will have a third axis, which is a capacitive sensor underneath the touch controller measuring the amount of surface covered, i.e. the third dimension (Z). Also the ‘Pro’ version will be equipped with MIDI functionality, so it can literally control everything!
Both units will be on display and ready for a thorough test drive at NAMM 2013 and will be shipping in the end of Q1 of 2013!

MIDI Designer iPhone demo – iOS MIDI controller designer
The MIDI Designer app for iPad / iPhone (support coming soon) allows you to design the perfect MIDI controller to fit your needs. This is quick demo of the iPhone version which will be available soon as a free update. What really sets this app apart from the Lemur iOS app is that you can design ON YOUR DEVICE. Lemur does feature the physics engine but I’ve gotten word from the developer that we may see that at some point: http://twitter.com/MIDIDesigner/status/250668991553626112

iPad trilogy – An Evening with Hindole Majumdar and Kevin Schlei
Somewhat on the ethnic side of things 
‘An Evening with Hindole Majumdar and Kevin Schlei’ was a concert on August 19th, 2012 that explored electronics + tabla. This piece, ‘Idiom,’ is a fully improvised, on-the-spot composition by myself and Hindole. A basic rhythmic pattern forms that he and I use to ground ourselves, and we play off of each other’s accents and phrases.
I am using my iPad instrument TC-11 with three iPads, and Hindole is playing his D tabla set with an extra E dayan. You can find more information about Hindole at his website, sites.google.com/site/hindolemajumdar/, and about TC-11 at bitshapesoftware.com/instruments/tc-11
TC-11 is the only fully programmable, professional multi-touch synthesizer for the iPad. Choose from the 96 included presets, or build your own using touch controls, device motion, and on-board modules. Create music with the next evolution of synthesizer control!

Atlantic landing – iFretless bass midi controller on iPad / iPhone
iFretless is a new musical instrument app for iPad / iPhone. In this video you see an iPad jam session, showing how iFretless works as a MIDI controller, sending the notes we play to synthesizer apps running the background on the iPad.
If this video makes you wish you had a copy of iFretless, head on over to the app store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifretless-bass/id512929963?mt=8
We used several other iPad synthesizer apps as background MIDI synths:
Sunrizer – http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sunrizer-synth/id443663267?mt=8
(An excellent imitation of a classic analog synthesizer)
BS-16i – http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bs-16i/id388149926?mt=8
(A soundFont compatible synth. It has great sound if you put great soundfonts in it. We’re using the AKAI-SteinwayIII piano soundfont in this video.)
