pMix User Guide

Since I released pMix on the appstore for free, I've had quite a lot of downloads (although the Burp and Fart piano is still more popular). A few people emailed to ask how to use it. Here is the old manual from version 0-7. Some things have changed and I will put up a new version and maybe some more informative videos when I have time.

M4_u Convention IPlug Workshop slides & examples

Yesterday I led a workshop on IPlug at the M4_u European Max convention. In the workshop I talked about the main options available for developing plugins using C++ and the issues involved. Then I introduced IPlug with some simple projects. I had to skip a load of stuff in the slides, because there wasn't enough time.

Here are the slides and example projects which demonstrate the basics of adding parameters, processing audio, handling parameter changes and handling MIDI. There are also two projects demonstrating the integration of Open Source, 3rd party DSP libraries, Maximillian and Gamma.

pMix v1 beta testers wanted

I am nearly ready to release my next product - pMix (preset mixer). It's a standalone VST/AudioUnit plugin chainer with a preset interpolator for morphing between parameter states. I originally developed it back in 2008 and the beta version 0.7 won the second prize in the Lomus music software competition. It's only going to be available for OSX I'm afraid.
If you would be interested in testing please let me know.

heres a video of the old version http://vimeo.com/767057

John Richards - Dirty Electronics

Since 2003, John Richards has been exploring the idea of ‘Dirty Electronics’ that focuses on face-to-face shared experiences, ritual, gesture, touch and social interaction. In Dirty Electronics process and performance are inseparably bound. The ‘performance’ begins on the workbench devising instruments and is extended onto the stage through playing and exploring these instruments.
John recently collaborated with graphic designer Adrian Shaughnessy to create a specially commissioned hand-held synth for Mute Records (the Mute Synth).
