CycleOn for Propellerheads Record & Reason
Final version with the Bitplant GUI! CycleOn is a real-time playback system for ReCycle REX loops. This combinator based instrument patch is designed to create live performance and DJ Style effects using Propellerhead Software Record + Reason 4.0. No sequencing is required, and loops start and stop in sync with the transport. Used in conjunction with a control surface, CycleOn patches form the foundation of a compelling performance piece.

DMX Scanner controlled by ipod and video input (part 1)
Experimenting with DMX Scanner (soundlab hi-scan 1), will be using it to track a dancer on stage with processing, mrmr, open sound control so the video input will map DMX signals to location zones on stage, so if any movement is detected the spot light will engage and track movement. The camera will be above performer, eventually.

Analog Drum in Reason Part 2
This is the first part for something 'bigger'. I am planning a tutorial to create a big template which is able to create a complete song by just twitching knobs and pushing a couple of buttons. It is often being done in electro house.
This session is split in 2, this is part 2 of 2 where I try to explain some parts about how to setup an analog drum.

Here's something I did before in april 2009. I made a complete text tutorial about how to make IDM Breakcore in Reason. In this series I explain how to re-create DBGlitch inside Reason.
Personally I never backed up the whole thought process by making a video about it. But then again, I also realized someone STOLE my idea, posted the patch on serious-sounds forums saying it was his.
That's why this leads me with no choice to make a video about it.

-008's Random Handrum
New for -008' Beat Blog subscribers:
My cohort 13ruce 1337 recently sent me a 3 min 28 sec recording he made of a handrum. He said it was only a "warmup" type track, but I thought it sounded great!
First, I ReCycled the file and made a bunch of loops. I then used those rex files to build the combinators, and now we have the "Random Handrum"
Combinators Include:
Matrex Rextrix [RUN]
Matrix & Rex fun..Careful with those curve patterns! ;)
Multisamp
Velocity arranged slices. Small but fun
Percul8in'
Gluttonous overuse of rpg-8
Alt Fills
Fast off beat, 2 keys at a time works best. C1 to B1
FSB Twerk (Factory Example)
Factory Sound Bank, 3 Note Patch C1 to D1
Redrum Pattern Player (and empty)
Browse slice samples, step sequence your patterns, & play
MODE (Rotary) and HOLD (Button) are the most important things to remember!

EditEd4TV_SubGroupControl
Part 1:
Part 2:
This is a new method I've developed for creating a subgroup in Record, thereby giving you control of multiple channels via one channel strip fader.
You can use this single channel strip fader to directly control any given number of sub channels, no limits. This fader strip at full 100% has no effect on the sub channel volumes but as you begin to lower this fader, the other volumes follow, all the way to 0%.
It's not perfect, I need to do some calibration and tweaking still, but it's probably good enough for use by the masses. I suppose I'll arrive at "perfection" once we start finding limitations and errors.
Get the file here:
http://www.baumanproductions.com/reco...
I did make a few mistakes in the is video, primary one being that the "Trim" knob should be at 0% for the fader to be passive (in this video I open the file at 100%, and eventually move it to 50%). When the "Trim" knob is set to 0%, bringing the fader up to 100% will essentially allow the audio in each subbed channel to pass without any volume reduction whatsoever. If you need to "boost" from here, you can set your fader to default (0 dB), and the "Trim" knob to default (50%), and this should again be passive, but now you can boost your audio up from 0 dB. I don't think I'd recommend this implementation, but the option is there.
This file comes preloaded with three Dr.Rex loops from the Reason Factory Soundbank, simply as a demonstration.
Some great features of this method:
* There is very little you need to do to any project you've already recorded... no need to mess with creating new routings with your audio cables, no moving audio cables, no adjusting levels, no additional mixers created with the need to match whatever you had in Record's mixer, etc. All you lose is Aux Send 8.
* The individual channel strip level LED's will fade with the master subgroup fader that you're moving, you actually see the levels drop as you move just that one fader (you see the LED levels drop, not the actual fader).
* As you move this master subgroup fader, effects will fade as well, as opposed to other methods we've seen before (tapping audio off the direct out jacks) where you can fade a master subgroup but effects on the individual channels continue to feed volume to the effects, so all your reverbs and delays continue to ring out, which, 95% of the time, you don't want.
The Combinator also comes preloaded with enough labeled Spider CV units to control 48 channels, though you can subtract or add even more if you like.
Let me know what you think...

Reason 4 - Imperial March Work in Progress Version 0.2
Here's a quick work in progress for yah. I have been working on this song almost the whole freaking evening. And initially I am at the stage where I have all the instruments in place, mixed it down a tiny bit (uhu... a tiny bit, read: hyd standards for a tiny bit).
The trick I am going for is: positioning, delay, surrounding, and have them in front/back where I want the sounds to be placed. It is a tricky aspect. But then again, this is where we seperate the mans from the boys!
Original copyrights of the song remain to John Williams, who is the author of the original song. The remix is made note by note, instrument by instrument by... yours truelly Hyd.
And my god, if YT removes the song, I'll be pissed and remove my account! Seriously... They have no idea how much work I have put into this!

Reason and ProTools Rewire
Working with Reason rewired to Protools is a really nice setup, you get the great sequencer and effects in ProTools, and the nice rack of gear in Reason. There are many ways to route the signal between the two programs, but by far the most powerful method is to use instrument tracks and the Reason instrument, here is how to do it! This is an answer to a discussion in one of my MIDI classes at Berklee.

'nomone' - monome emulation for novation launchpad
While at home recovering from jaw surgery, I had some time to play around with "nomone" - which is a monome emulator created for use with the Novation Launchpad. In this video I'm using the nomone emulator (via MaxMSP Runtime) with Ableton Live and the Polygome Max Patch (one of many patches created for use with the nomone emulator).

Reaktor based probability module
Reaktor based probability module for drum n bass:
The only thing I can think to add, aside from what is covered in this video, is that this ensemble can be synchronized to any host app that supports vst. Only downfall is that it is based on an extremely slow tempo, and drum samples are not stretched to fit, only because i wanted to keep the original quality as well preserved as possible. Any questions and/or ideas relating to the modifications and/or the original programmers of any of the devices in this ensemble, are welcomed in the comments section of this video. Thanks for checking this out, hope you all enjoy.
Reaktor based probability module - Part 2 AutoPure Patch:
It's still a bit buggy, but this is the patch I've been sculpting for the past few months with Reaktor. I apologize that there is alot of "unseen" parts of this concotion, but I figure you can check out the previous video for an idea of how this ensemble is layed out. Although, there was just too many components here to be able to unfold and display each device being used at any given moment, and obviously this isn't about a pretty picture as much as it is about a roller coaster of potential with digital audio. This was done without an external controller, aside from the QWERTY config for the beatlookup module. There's way too many details to try and give you a full tour of this ensemble, so just check out the mangling, and feel free to ask whatever questions come to mind. Thanks for sitting through the botches and buffer pops, had to use ye ol' soundblaster for the screencapture ;) Also, the mstr clock was offset by a 1/4 note throughout the entire mix (forgot to push stop before play ;P), so all the drops and pickups are a bit weak, you'll notice the transients are offset in the beatlookup display when it appears. and fyi, wear some headphones (not earbuds!!!!) if you don't have decent reference monitors, i've recently found out that reaktor is incredible at emulating tape saturation, as you'll find with the kick drums and the lowend of the 303 module.
Reaktor Probability Module Part 3.mov:
Well, this is kind of Part 3 of the Reaktor Module, although it's more like a conceptual thesis statement on the interaction of the audio/visual spectrums. To go in to a bit more detail. The audio is just a quick screen/sound capture. The visual part is an After Effects plugin called Form by Trapcode, which allows certain parameters to be controlled by specified frequencies. This is kind of what I picture this module becoming as part of an art exhibit regarding interactive multimedia. Basically this kind of visual interaction would be happening in realtime and the Reaktor module could be configured to react to a passerby's motions and sound via a series of proximeters positioned around the exhibit. For now, enjoy the chaos, errr controlled chaos I guess :D One more thing, apologies for any latency pops, this put some serious stress on my cpu, and I'm amazed I was even able to capture this in realtime, so I figured I will share this either way, who cares if it's perfect, it's progress none the less. So on that note, enjoy!

Ableton Live - Novation Launchpad - Progtronica Weekly DJ Series week 3 (w/ Live Drums) 2-11-10
Performed on February 11th 2010, this is the 3rd installment of Nigel Sifantus' "Progtronica Weekly Dj Performance Series". All music created using Ableton live, mixed, re-sampled, edited, and mixed live using Novation's Launchpad dedicated Ableton controller. This mix features the songs "The Beat Repeater" "Dreaming (feat beatboxing by Taylor McFerrin, Ryat and Shara Dae on vocals)", "Progtronica 1 (with a small Cinematic Orchestra sample)", and "Rolling with Strings" all from the upcoming album: "Progtronica - Live From Nowhere" due out later this spring. For more information on Progtronica visit http://www.nigelsifantus.com. All the drum parts are recorded by Sifantus live, then sampled, edited, and re-mixed. However, for this weeks broadcast there is some "real" live drumming mixed in to a couple of the tunes. All Live, all solo, all Raw! Progtronia weekly DJ Series 2010!

Buchla 259e
Buchla 259e Mem Skew:
259e morph gets EG modulation again. This time the memory skew point is modulated continuously using the 259e modulation osc through the 210e. The depth of the modulation is being adjusted on the 210e.
Buchla 259e Bells:
Same patch with modification. Now 259e output is going to 285e balanced modulator where it is modulated by 259e mod osc triangle. Mod osc of 261e takes over mem skew modulation. EG also modulates 285e depth (timbre). This is a nice trick to try.

Launchpad with Reaktor
Launchpad with Reaktor DSQ32 in Live:
Reaktor DSQ32 and my Launchpad are being controlled by an Application I wrote in Java. The Application stores and handles the states of the Launchpad and sends and receives the control data to Reaktor via Midi Yoke. OSC would have been a way better choice, but unfortunately OSC does not work with Reaktor in Host mode, which is a total bummer. I'm really not happy with the stability of the whole setup, which will keep me from actually publishing the modified ensemble and the application.

OSC would have been a way better choice, but unfortunately OSC does not work with Reaktor in Host mode, which is a total bummer. I'm really not happy with the stability of the whole setup, which will keep me from actually publishing the modified ensemble and the application.

Mixing Techniques - Reverb
Reverb typically sits in two categories within audio productions, and either tends to be done well, or it tends to sound like someone has just thrown a reverb on a sound and selected a preset. To help you get it to sound as if it has been well done we provide you with a few handy hints and tips to help your reverbs sound better than ever!

On this day...
On this day in 1945 Nesta Robert ("Bob") Marley was born in the small village of Nine Mile in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica. Bob's father was a captain in the Royal Marines, a plantation overseer and Caucasian. His father provided financial support for Bob's mother Cedella Booker, an Afro-Jamaican, but rarely saw her or his son and died when Bob was only 10 years old. Because of his mixed racial origins Bob Marley suffered racial prejudice as a youth, for in Jamaica at that time multiracial people were referred to as "half-castes".
At the age of 14, Bob dropped out of school to play music with Rastafari musician Joe Higgs. It was through Higgs that he would meet the other founding Wailers, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone in the early 1960s. They would go on to world wide fame with the release of their records "Catch a Fire" and later "Burnin". Below is a performance for the BBC of one of the songs off "Catch a Fire", "Stir it Up", complete with Moog synthesizer:
