Sunday Synth Jam: This video, via Perplex On, captures a live home studio improvisation with an iPad using the drumsynth Impaktor (with the help of ‘pimped Tupperware’), Ableton Push, Reaktor’s Serenade controlled by a Leap Motion Sensor and an induction coil for recording some electromegnatic noise.
Technical details:
- iPad connected to an Akai EIE for Midi and Audio In/Out,
- generic Tupperware pimped with piezo feeding the Impaktor app,
- illuminated by Arduino-driven RGB-LED-Stripes responsive to the frequency/volume,
- Leap Motion controlling the Reaktor Patch “Serenade” (the tiny stick is just for the show)
- Ableton Push doing Ableton Push things
Timeline:
- 00:05: Recording some electromagnetic fields with an induction coil
- 00:40: Playing around with POLYRHYTHMUS, an awesome Max4Live sequencer (Link: http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/2431/polyrhythmus-a-modular-euclidean-rhythm-builder)
- 01:30: Leap Motion controlling the Reaktor patch Serenade, a virtual string synth
- 02:32: Drumming with Impaktor for iPad, fed by an external piezo mounted in Tupperware
- 05:20: Recording and mangling some strings in Samplr
- 09:00: Glitching the drums coming from Impaktor with Turnado
- 09:25: Recording some vocal pads
Great jam, and really good hear something relevant with context – rather than a set of random boxes being tweaked. I am a sucker for purposeful context… and robots.
Nice Tupperware light show thing! Need to make something similar. I’ve got all the bits, just need the time and the skill…
enough with the damn ipad already i would rather use a hammer and rocks
