I recorded a new song in my homestudio today. For this tune I used some iPad synths for the first time.

I made a short visualization for a dubstep loop using blender shape keys and an animated displacement modifier

I recorded a new song using my synths and Ardour 3. This time I really couldn´t come up with a name for my song, but somehow I like "to be Named" :-)

I recorded a new song using my mininova and my midified korg monotron. I used Ardour 3 to record the track. Some parts have been recorded using my pushified launchpad mini with the help of pure data

I wrote a pure-data patch that allows me to use my launchpad mini to play my synthesizers. The scales use a similar layout to ableton push (hence the name pushy). To translate between the default midi mapping and the push layout I first used a div and a mod operation to find out what row and column a pressed button was in. Then I calculate the offset for each row to implement the quater shift everytime you go up one row. Then I use a puredata table that holds the scale to be played (currently major and minor) to create the midi-number. The base tone can be shifted up and down by 12 semitones using the E and F button or by 1 semitone using the C and D buttons.

To connect it to my midi equipment I use jack on my linux box and wire it to my synths using qjackctl.

I also recorded a short loop using the launchpad and my mininova

I have successfully midified my korg monotron using an arduino

This is the first short track I recorded I only used a drum loop and a view effect plugins (reverb, delay, chorus) beside my monotron. I will post photos, code examples and more detail this weekend - stay tuned :-)

Update: read more infos on my midification project here

This song started out as a short loop I created on my Nintendo 3DS using the Korg DS-10. I recorded it and added some loops I created using nanoloop on my android tablet and a basedrum created on my Korg monotron. The arpegiator loop, the melody and the base sound are from my novation mininova.

My todays project for 30daysofcreativity was to learn how to play an ukulele. For the sake of all my readers hearing I did´t record any of my trials but I made a photo of my ukulele instead :-)

Today I hear "why does it always rain on me" by travis in my head since I woke up. Without thinking much about it my hand drew this image using black ink and a drawing pen

This is a homage to all the 8Bit chiptunes out there

The visuals are generated using blender

the sounds have been generated using a C64-Emulator and a basic script (my basic skills are a bit rusted)

This is my Day 10 project for 30DaysOfCreativity
