Scanner with The Post Modern Jazz Quartet

The blending of jazz and electronics has been one of the more difficult musical challenges, as it attempts to humanize the machine or mechanize the free spirit of improvisation. It's a very tricky balance to get right, as they can be on a collision course with each other. Bringing together the world renown electronic artist, Scanner who has collaborated with artists from every imaginable genre: musicians Bryan Ferry, Radiohead and Laurie Anderson with jazz masters Matthew Shipp, Khan Jamal, Michael Bisio and Michael Thompson has created a post modern sound encased in a traditional form. The results are unparalleled. Scanner becomes part of the PMJQ, creating cinematic textures that take a familiar jazz quartet sound and transforms it into a modern day experience in this world of bits and bytes.

Using Ableton to provide control voltage for a Moog Slim Phatty

Seeing the Slim Phatty retaining CV (control voltage) inputs I wondered how
well line level voltage would work as a control source. The answer:

Pretty Damn Well!

This is a tutorial/demo on how I pulled this off and everything you need to know!
The Moog (notes) are controlled via the MPK25 but the filter and pitch modulation
is via the CV inputs.

Yes - Line level (analog) signal has voltage. I learned some of these tricks about a
year ago - once thinking CV was far out and not so easy to gain control of - wrong.

The modulation of the SF can be controlled with amazing accuracy and synchronization
using an application like Ableton. The possibilities are endless - I am still trying to
understand where I would like to go with this idea. For now - you have the basic
knowledge - please post back ideas and break throughs! Thx.

Added a breakout box via the rom expansion port at the back of the
case. Rare machine, so happy not to mess with its original state!
