The Evolution Control Committee have invented a rear-projected infrared-activated faux-touchscreen mashup controller…hacked from the Nintendo Wiimote. It’s a bizarre McGyver – but you got to love the giant screen and the “insanely overloaded Ableton Live” running on it. According to the ECC, the Mashup Controller is “the secret sauce that makes The ECC’s Wheel Of Mashup live… Read More Giant Wiimote-Based Mashup-Controller For Ableton Live
This is a demo video for the Mochika2, or as Atomo Labs puts it – raw, random noises.
This is another demo video, via GM, showing off the TipTop Audio modules: Nothing fancy, just a voice made of three Z3000 is spilt into 2 and sent into 2 VCAs controlled by 2 EG’s. From there the signals goes for processing by two Z5000 and into the computer. Drums and the midi sequence are… Read More Z3000 / Z5000 Split Signal Patch
This is the most musical demo I’ve seen of the cheapster DIY Gakken SX-150 synth. On the video, I’m using Ableton Live to send midi data to the processing sketch using a Network Midi connection on the Mac. On windows, you should be able to use Midi Yolke to accomplish the same thing. Then, I make sure… Read More Controlling An SX-150 With Ableton Live, Arduino

According to C-Thru Music, the arrangement of notes helps you understand note relationships and create as you never have before.
This Reactable demo video sure looks pretty – but the functionality shown should be familiar to longtime Synthtopia readers. I have to ask the same thing I asked about using the iPhone as a Lemur – is this just eye candy? Reactable is a collaborative electronic musical instrument with a tangible interface based on a… Read More The Reactable – More Than Eye Candy?
Cassiel’s straker on monome and audiocubes: The monome is being driven by the straker sequencing network, which is built using shado. The sound manipulation comes courtesy of shard, an algorithmic sample slicing plugin that we’ve used on stage a few times, most recently for a Future of Sound gig at (re)Actor3 in Liverpool.
