I can haz i2M Subject description: Rig is shaping up for KCEM'11 |
|
|
Just received my Sonuus i2M (USB pitch-to-MIDI converter). A significant improvement over the G2M.
Experimenting with setups led to an iPod Touch with MorphWiz, a Nintendo DSi with Electroplankton and a Korg Kaossilator feeding through an Edirol M10-MX mixer and out the AUX into the i2M to control a gaggle of softsynths on a MacBook (KORE 2, Miroslav Pilharmonik, AAS VA-1, etc.). An Akai MPK Mini gives keyboard and drum pad inputs.
All the input sounds + the softsynths contribute to the mix. The whole rig is small and lightweight, and runs for a max of two hours on batteries (limited by the mixer).
Feels kind of creepy not to use a hardware synth, but this might be the year. Whoa!

Scot sounds great! I was just talking to Har about you and him playing in KC this year. I will add you and hopefully Har to the list.

Ah, I should mention... the sort of music I (we) do is sort of electronic/experimental/psychedelic rock... Ideally, my partner (Har, host of Nightscaping and ambient guitarist) would be accompanying me. My project is called Christus and the Cosmonaughts and we are on Beta-lactam Ring Records (www.blrrecords.com).
I'd love to come out there and met you all... I feel like I already know some of you. |

I have a "modest" modular...
plus VCS3, Minimoog, P5, Kyma, etc. It'd be great fun to take them out for a ride.
Lotsa DIY in that modular, none of which would have been possible without this forum. |

Excellent... hope you can bring your monster modular to the festival. The modular/sDIY crowd will be well-represented! _________________ -- Kevin

What a monster... AND you're bringing a VCS3?... that is some serious fire power!
I might have to bring some of my vintage gear along this year... =)
Really looking forward to this years event! _________________ www.soundcloud.com/adamon |

Yeah, the VCS3 and the Big Fella will be there, and some other goodies, too. Should be fun... it'll be even more fun if you bring your vintage goodies! |

Would be great if you could bring these. I built a VCS3 filter clone (Yusynth diode-ladder filter) and a MiniMoog clone (Yusynth Transistor ladder filter). We could compare the clones with the actual filters -- will be a lot of fun! _________________ -- Kevin

Absolutely! I haven't decided exactly what I will bring out yet, but those are pretty well a given for a performance. I have lots of other vintage stuff (Prophet-5, OBXa, PPG, Odyssey), too, but I don't want to wind up with an unmanageable rig.
(I built those same Yusynth modules for my system, actually)
I can't wait to get an up close look at your modular! |

We will be closing official sign up in the next few days. If you are considering performing, please drop me a line and let me know what you are thinking.
Thanks to everyone that has signed up thus far! The line up is fabulous and I think each year this festival just seems to grow and take new forms. _________________ ElectroCasa |

Jon Doe, Ryan Lee Toms, and Suicide Lane were also added to the performers list for 2011.
I also have caught wind of Scot Solida possibly doing lighting for the event as well. _________________ ElectroCasa |
