What is Frequency Modulation? 2, Simple Ratios
This video goes into more practical applications of Frequency Modulation synthesis. The importance of simple ratios between the Carrier and Modulators is stressed. The techniques are shown on the Operator Synth in Ableton Live, but can be applied on any synth that includes FM.

MIDI video player - Max for Live
Early in development MIDI triggered video player built in Max for Live. Notes C1 up trigger video clips from any specified folder. in this video it's receiving the midi out coming from an autonomous sequencer (improbeat) which is also controlling the audio.
just the very start. currently working on multiple layers, rotation, zoom and colour controls - all MIDI controllable! hit me up if you'd like to play with the source.
this is destined to be used in conjunction with my Guitar Hero to MIDI patch for instant axe controlled audio/visual fun.

What is Frequency Modulation? 1, the concept.
This is the first of 3 videos covering frequency modulation and the Operator synth. This Was made in a previous version of Operator but the concepts and techniques are still very valid. These videos were made to go along with my Advanced Production in Ableton Live, but didn't make it into the course, so I thought everyone could benefit here on youtube and my blog( http://loudonstearns.berkleemusicblog... )
instead!

Everything you see in this video is stop motion.
This took about 30 hours to make all together. Its pretty weird I think.. The sound effects come either garageband, propellerhead reason, or I recorded them myself.

Artist story - Tom Middleton - Dissecting 'Hypnotizer'
Tom Middleton has been a driving force in electronic music for the last 20 year. He is the man behind countless releases under guises such as E621, The Jedi Knight and many many more. We talked to this veteran about his background, how he learned the craft from Richard D James back in Cornwall, England, and about his use of Reason as his main writing and production tool.
In the interview, we also get a walkthrough of the track Hypnotizer that just came out on Urbantorque Recordings. We'll get to learn some of the Jedi Knight's secret moves and how he uses Reason to build his signature deep sound.

Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 UW GND-SN machine triggering BOSS SYB-5 bass synthesizer pedal. The GND-SN machine routed to an individual out -> Boss SYB-5 -> INP-EA machine for filtering.
Just realized that the first few minutes had that stupid delay on.
All other sounds are machinedrum GND-SN sine machines!
At the time of recording I was first time trying out the pedal, only discovering the possibilities.
The video is to show what kind of sounds you can get triggering the SYB-5 with a GND-SN and was put into an electronic context.
Not a musical statement.
The video was shot with a Nokia N95, the sound quality is far from amazing.

Ableton Artist: Telefon Tel Aviv
This is the video that sparked my interest in Ableton Live. It's from a few years back, when Joshua had dreads and Charlie was still with us (R.I.P.). I like that the video shows how Telefon Tel Aviv accomplishes some of their early signature sounds in Live, particularly the microscopic sounding glitch production they were initially famous for... before watching this video I'd associated Ableton Live with DJing and had never bothered looking into it as a production tool, now it's one of my favorite DAWs.

KORG 700 MINIKORG - HQ SOUND DEMO
The monophonic Minikorg 700 was the first synthesizer from Korg. It has 1 VCO, 1 "traveler" filter (12 dB, highpass/lowpass) 1 envelope and 1 LFO. It has a very special sound - some like it, others don't - I love it.
It was used by Vangelis in the seventies. Also it was Kitaro's favourite synthesizer.
I played the Minikorg with Lexicon MPX 500 reverb and Roland DEP-5 delay.

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent TR-505 - 5QU4R3W4V3
Modified in a similar way to my other 505 except this one was already 'perma bent' to a minor degree when i picked it up. The drum sounds have always been slightly odd and the toms and low conga sound strange when you turn the pitch up beyond it's standard setting. Building a distortion circuit into it proved to be a major headache due to it's bizarre flaws so i took a look at www.burnkit.com and found a cool square wave injection modification there. It may not have the nasty edge of my other tr505 built into it but it has a larger range of sounds. It still sounds cool through some distortion though so at 2.59 i processed the audio in soundforge through the ohm boys vst plugin ohmicide before compiling the video. Ohmicide is the best vsti distortion out there in my opinion and gives a good example of how cool this thing would sound through some decent hardware fx.
Thanks to the guys at www.burnkit2600.com for putting the time into their site and sharing so much good info on not only the tr505 but the 626, hr16 and lots of other stuff.

This video was made to demonstrate the functionality of my Roland TB-303 Baseline Synthesizer that I am selling on Ebay. This TB-303 is an exceptional example in superb condition. It hasn't been modified or messed with in any way. Everything works 100%. NO scratchy pots, NO flaky, double triggering buttons, NO battery acid leaks (has the elusive battery cover) and the pots even still have the "new stiff" feeling to them.
If you have always wanted a really nice example of a TB-303, this is it!
This video was made with the TB-303 going straight in to the computer with no EQ. The drum and sample sounds are coming from a Casio RZ-1 Drum machine.
At 2:45 I try out some distortion for the techno people. At 5:20 I add Some delay to the TB-303.

Tickets are still available for “Music For 16 Futurist Noise Intoners,” an evening-length concert of original scores and newly commissioned compositions for the intonarumori, or “noise-intoners” this Thursday, 8pm at Town Hall.
Luciano Chessa has directed a reconstruction project to produce accurate replicas of the legendary instruments (8 noise families of 1-3 instruments each, in various registers) that Russolo built in Milan in the summer of 1913. As the first instruments capable of creating and manipulating noises through entirely mechanical processes, the intonarumori can be considered to be the original analog synthesizer, and the ancestors to the latest electronic synthesizers used today!
An incredible group of musicians and composers from the experimental music world—including Einstuerzende Neubauten frontman and Nick Cave collaborator Blixa Bargeld, avant-garde saxophonist John Butcher, Deep Listening pioneer Pauline Oliveros, Faith No More and Mr. Bungle vocalist Mike Patton, sound and text-based performer Anat Pick, avant-garde musician Elliott Sharp, and composer and vocalist Jennifer Walshe collaborating with composer and film/video artist Tony Conrad, among others—have been commissioned by Performa to create and perform brand new compositions for the instruments.

An incredible group of musicians and composers from the experimental music world—including Einstuerzende Neubauten frontman and Nick Cave collaborator Blixa Bargeld, avant-garde saxophonist John Butcher, Deep Listening pioneer Pauline Oliveros, Faith No More and Mr. Bungle vocalist Mike Patton, sound and text-based performer Anat Pick, avant-garde musician Elliott Sharp, and composer and vocalist Jennifer Walshe collaborating with composer and film/video artist Tony Conrad, among others—have been commissioned by Performa to create and perform brand new compositions for the instruments.

Control Ableton with "snatch remote" for Iphone.
http://www.MusicSoftwareTraining.com/... With Iphone AP Snatch Remote, I have created a custom controller for Ableton Live. It can actually be used for any program you like. In my opinion it's about the best $2 I've ever spent and it replaces many of the functions you would normally need a customized midi controller to do.

ReDrum Minimal Techno Fun
CAUTION many low and high pitched sounds!
----
It's not a track per se, just a musical experiment which I think sounds interesting (pretty acid-like, eh?). Done on ReDrum using default sounds from Reason (Glitch Kit 7) and some routing. Because of that I won't upload an mp3 BUT I'm giving you the .rns file instead =) download it here:

Kaoss Notes
This is a demo for a Reaktor ens. I created for using a Korg Kaoss Pad KP3 to trigger midi notes. The X axis of the KP3 controls the note value and the Y axis controls the rate at which are notes are triggered. In this demonstration, Reaktor is sending the note data as midi to a plug-in called Silent Way, which controls my modular synth via a MOTU audio interface. Modules by Make Noise, The Harvestman, f(H) and Doepfer. Software based glitchery provided by Uhe's MFM2.
