Self oscillating Jomox T-Resonator
The self oscillating Jomox T-Resonator with a little Yamaha SPX distortion
The T-Resonator is something like an M-Resonator + Digital Delay. But you can select 8 different delay algorithms, each with different delays and different feedbacks and modulate them even with an LFO.
Delays reach from less than a millisecond to 1 second, range and structure is depending on the algorithm.
The delay feedback comes across the analog filters, of course.
You can create gaining analog echoes, “klingon parties” by extremely feedbacked wave guide algorithm and much more.
By the analog feedback everything sounds organic.
The screaming analog feedbacks can delay themselves and thereby form new sound patterns.
The sine LFO gets retriggered by the audio signal and can be shaped with the audio envelope or just run alone.
In center position the amount is 0, to the left it’s envelope-shaped LFO, to the right it’s only LFO.
The filters are made from discreet parts and form a 24 dB pole lowpass filter transistor cascade.
They can – in any thinkable way – be self feedbacked and be coupled or feedbacked with each other, so that extreme sounds and chaotic states create – all what you need today for creative analog sound design.
Incredible bass gains or screaming scratch sounds are no problem.
The mix pots are zeroed in center position; any other angle will couple or feedback negatively or positively. FM in both directions is also available.
The input has an adjustable gain and a Hi-Z input to plug in a guitar directly. Any line level signal can be processed, be it either mono or stereo.

Making a track from scratch with iMS20

iPad iMS20 new KORG! Making track from scratch – Zoltan’s March
PhotoSound gives you cursor-controlled time stretching
This video shows the work in progress that is live synthesis in Photosounder. At the moment the latest (unreleased) build of Photosounder can synthesise directly what’s under the mouse cursor, meaning you can play a sound at any rate without changing the pitch.
In the future it will a lot do more using the same synthesis technique. The first public release containing this feature will be released in a few weeks. Also at some point the mouse cursor is out of sync with what you hear, that has to do with the video recording software being out of sync, not Photosounder.
Original track is James Brown’s Cold Sweat
Cool introduction to Game Audio
How Games are Different from Anything You’ve Worked on Before
This session provides an introduction and exploration into the many ways in which video game music and sound design are fundamentally different from linear media such as television or film. It also covers what to expect when working on a game, and how being part of a game team is very different from being hired to score or do sound design for more traditional media.

The audio is accompanied with a slide show of the original artists.
Different recordings of “4 Chords” will vary as the band continually updates the song with the latest hits that use the structure.

Aura Flux – a new ambient music application
This is a preview of Aura Flux – a new ambient music application for iPhone & iPad.
The app combines elements of apps like Nodal and Brian Eno’s Blo0m.
Here’s what the they have to say about it:
Aura Flux is a new way to create unique music on the iPhone and iPad by simply connecting sounds together visually on screen. With over 48 individual sounds and a huge choice of options on how these react and link with each other, Aura Flux has unlimited possibilities.
4 moods (keys) and control over the background ambiance enable to user to create dynamically changing sound environments that can automatically morph as the visuals represent the connections made.
Each scene can be saved and recalled for future listening and adjustments.
