TouchKeys Multi-Touch Musical Keyboard – 2D Controller per key

moogulator, , ,

TouchKeys Multi-Touch Musical Keyboard by Andrew McPherson is a controller overlay that allows to track the finger position on the key – the one I ever wanted. Since this is a Kickstarter project it is not yet available but you could do it.. but it’s for large Keys, not for mini sized ones (Microkorgm etc) – I wish this feature would be standard on all keyboards on the world and freely assignable. these send MIDI Controllers via USB. And it’s open source. The kits are assembled or DIY for your controller.…

The Claude Controller – Vibe Bar addition to keyboard and Wheel Controller.

moogulator, 1 Comment

ok, it’s not „the future of…“ but it is a different approach – a keyboard with vibration bar and this 36 wheel and 2 joystick controller can do something on performing.. it’s taking the ondes martenot and persephone idea of adding some bar that can be moved while playing to get more „envelope“ or more life into just playing the keys and using velocity and aftertouch. 2 alternatives: endeavour or this kickstarter project called touch keys

Keluar – Fractures – Indie Synthpop

moogulator, , , , , , ,

Keluar’s Fractures has a very analog dynamic some sort of threatening synth part that makes it a bit wave/80’s along with it’s reverb – and a bit rough – and that’s a good roughness if you have some melancholia / darkness in you – and you do, right? .. love ‚em! Die kann man nur lieben – Synthpop artig aber auch etwas Minimal Wave – dunkel aber nicht für alle gesperrt, die nicht früher mal schwarz rum gelaufen sein müssen (aber können) – Interview mit Keluar in SynMag 46! check out…

Beardyman: The polyphonic me – voice on the morph’sis

moogulator3 Comments

this is Beardyman, you know him, right? since I saw him live he was using some Kaoss Pads and 1 or 2 Synths for controlling or adding things and loopers – now he seems to have changed but still using his voice as a basis and showing to us – most magic is into – pitch shifting and some fx-trickery.. and recording it. it looks harder to have an eye on 3 iPads, 2 Keyboards (playing his sampled stuff as polyphonic -something- sounds and something Maschine (as a controller?) is…

Zappanale Ankündigung 2013 + 2012 Fotoeindrücke / George Duke †

moogulator

Die Zappanale  2013 rückt näher, daher hier eine kleine Voreinstimmung darauf.. Text: (von Guido Möller) http://www.guidomoeller.de EDIT: George Duke starb heute 5.8.2013 † Molli is not dead but still smells funny   Vielleicht nicht unbedingt ein Synthesizer lastiges Festival, auf jeden Fall aber eins mit einer hohen Klangdichte und besonderen Klängen, die man mit einem Synthesizer nicht unbedingt nachahmen kann. Synthetische Klangerzeuger kommen aber auch hier in den Besteckkasten. Ohnehin treten auf der Zappanale Klanggebilde in Erscheinung, wie man sie sonst nicht sehr oft zu hören bekommt und dies in einem fabelhaften…
