Hi All

Edinburgher's are going to be spoiled this week... on top of the Unique Beats event posted elsewhere, on Thursday 14th Grindsight Open Eye is also hosting the very excellent and prolific Machinefabriek from Holland, D'Incise from Geneva, Jodi Cave from Glasgow who is on the minimal 12k ...

BTW - what makes you think it's Subotnick?

It's not listed on his biog and this page http://www.dinosaurgardens.com/archives/139 credits the soundtrack to Don Cherry and Archies keyboardist Ron Frangipane along with Jodorowsky

Subotnick is well known for using Buchla modular synths

Without breaking the bank you'll get close using some Plan B modular gear... take a look at Model 10, Model 13 and Model 15...

Sold my Nord G2 to part fund this... I'd originally px'd my G1 keyboard for the G2 but never really connected to it in the same way...

My MicroModular fills in a lot of digital 'holes' in my modular ...

EVERYONE - starts with the statment - "I only need a few modules"

Yep, I bought a few modules from eBay to pad out my Pulse Plus and Frostwave Resonator... 6 months later it had grown to this...

The best thing about even a small modular is how *open* everything is for use / misuse... e.g. I regularly use my envelopes as sound sources

It's quite dangerous though... once you start you just want to keep adding... I've got a pretty good 12u mixed euro system (AS, Doepfer, Plan B, Bananalogue ...

I'm not sure that I'd describe MaxMSP and PD as programming languages per se, due to their visual approach to patching. In that regard I think they're pretty easy to get your head around compared to the other languages mentioned and for Max there is a large user base, good forum and good ...

+1 for R2D2 on tail end of files

I don't think anybody has mentioned the increase in noise out the socket when you connect an external display... for me that's also a major PITA

BUT YOU DON'T NEED A MONOME...

It's got a built in interface and it's seen a bunch of updates recently so that you can set up customised notes ...

Miditron works okay, but you might also like to check out arduino...

An even cheaper option once you go down the maxmsp route is to open up the guts of a usb joystick...

If your joystick has got 2 analogue thumbsticks then you can actually solder in 4 potentiometer or ...

Seems like you have to download and install certain software. That makes me suspicious. Is it virus or spyware ridden?
im using a mac and i havent had any problems.pc could be different.

Those of you adding new codecs / software to play web video on a mac might want to check out this article on ...

Hi

Some of you (particularly those with monomes) may like to play with a Max patch I've put together that emulates Tenori-On Bounce Mode... minimum requirement is Max Runtime, no Monome required (but is supported!). Should play nicely on both Mac & PC.

You can pick it up here...

Hi

Don't know about 828, but was able to record/play all analogue outs and ins at same time on Ultralite and Traveler daisy chained via firewire and set up as aggregate device in OSX on Powerbook 1.67 with 1Gb... (was able to power both over single bus too, no psu required)

Was a bit of a hog ...

The only thing that is WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY warmer is my MacBook Pro!

I really miss my cool and (relatively) quiet PowerBook!
