I decided to stop buying softsynths a long time ago. That being said, $99 is definately worth the price.

I'm building a small 6 knob and 12 button controller with the arduino. I used a nifty Max patch available from the website called Arduino2Max.

If you have max there's an external object called aka.speech that uses the mac voice synthesizer.

I whole heartedly support using Max. I think it is one of the best ways to avoid wasting money on additional soft synths and effects. While I understand that some people don't have time to get into designing their own tools in Max, it can be a great program for learning all about synthesis and signa...

I might finally build a paia synth with my christmas money!

Sorry, didn't meant to nitpick. But while we're at it, here's a quite nice documentary from Arte (French/German TV). Some footage from Tresor Berlin, various Detroit guys, Tangerine Dream, Mark Bell (LFO), Autechre etc. Just ignore the Sven Väth talks at the first minutes of pt.1 :) part1 http://ww...

I thought High Tech Soul pretty much got it right on, at least if we're talking techno. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-195672552584716914 ps. another +1 for pump up the volume, great documentary - high tech soul is to techno what pump up the volume was to house, in my humble opinion. both...

I find that when I'm away from a midi controller, I resort to penciling in my midi sequences. I'm just curious about how everyone else works with music when they are away from their home setup. I find using the keypad as piano to be very uninspiring. Also, I'd be interested in anytips that make work...

I was born in 82. What day and month was the 303 released on?

I guess you can call it 'minimal' 'microhouse' 'idm' or whatever. I'm from Detroit so I know how sensitive techno fanboys are about using 'techno'. I guess I would just put the music of monolake, akufen, wolfgang voigt, and so forth under the general term of 'techno'. I think 'techno' is even mentio...

This film seems to have all the right music and artists involved. Hopefully this turns out better than High Tech Soul. The new trailer looks great, I can't wait to see this film!

Nobody reads anymore

I just pasted the first chapter of Don Quixote as name for my midi clip. You can read it by clicking on the title in clip view and clicking on the arrow. As an exercise in absurdity I'm always going to name my clips with whole chapters for now on. Maybe I'll write a whole novel in one midi clip.

Just get a copy of max or reaktor. You'll never feel the need to buy a plugin again!
