CMS Guide

Here's an interactive guide to the CMS (it is interactive in the sense that you click on the links and they take you to pages that explain each function.)

Absynth 4 Patches

Last summer I made some patches for Native Instruments Absynth 4, one of them made it into the official selection. If you are interested, here are some of the rest. Tweak the knobs, the sounds change quite a bit when you do so. My favourite is the ride cymbal simulation.

Schwyz Kru

I humbly agree, of course I could never make such a claim myself.

KmeansToBPSet1

This oscillator, by Nick Collins, is part of the SLUGens package of plug-ins for SuperCollider. It "uses succesive iterations of a k-means clustering algorithm on random data with random initial means to form break points in a 2-D space. These are then converted to wavetables in output synthesis based on the oscillator frequency." Test track below.

Faderboard

I saw this post, and thought I'd have a go at making a fader only track, using one of these hooked up to the Cylob Music System and multitrack recorded in Ableton Live. I've done some fader playing many times in the distant past (ie "Rewind" scratching noises, "Scram" melody) although somehow I had forgotten how much fun it can be. My track, which you can listen to below, is quite literally the greatest music ever made.

I wouldn't mind checking out the Vestax Faderboard, since word is they made the faders really robust and playable, although for sure I could do without the cheesy horrible sounding presets.

Private Life

A few months ago, I went round Ed DMX's house and we made a track called "Private Life." It is a 4 to the floor anthemic electronic disco number with vocoder singing. We just signed it to Soul Jazz records for release as a single, under the artist name "Private Lives."

It doesn't really sound like anything either of us would do alone. It's certainly much more "straight" than the stuff I usually come out with. We have both played it out a lot and it always goes down well, so it will be exciting to see it released and to find out how it does. I don't know when that will be, within a few months I guess.
