AUUG Motion Synth turns iPhone into motion-controlled instrument

AUUG Motion Synth turns iPhone into motion-controlled instrument

Convert motion to music with emerging new app

Developers AAUG are seeking funding for a novel new idea: a hardware/software combination that allows users to make music simply by manoeuvring their iPhone through the air.

The AUUG Motion Synth requires users to wear an aluminum wristband, which holds the screen of your device handily near the fingers while controlling its orientation (and stopping you from dropping it).

Then, the software: the AUUG Motion Synthapp tracks your movements (via your iOS device's inbuilt sensors) and turns the motion data into signals for shaping sound.

In addition, there is the AAUG cloud: an online service that allows users of this setup to share presets.

AUUG are seeking a modest $70,000 to develop the Motion Synth, with prices for early backers from $68. For more information, visit Kickstarter.

Here is the You Tube video:

Designing Layered Kicks and Basses for Tech House by Paul Maddox

In this sample tutorial from Producertech’s new course ‘Techno & Tech House Production in Live’, Paul Maddox of Spektre shows us how to design layered kicks and basses for Tech House.

In the video Paul initially goes through some useful tips for removing unwanted noise from recorded samples, and then shows how you can edit the auto filter automation, and clip modulation parameters to sculpt 2 kicks together.

Paul then shows us how to use Ableton’s clip envelope modulations for pitch and volume to create a sudo side chaining effect on basses. This FREE tutorial is Part 1 of a sample module Producertech are showing from their ‘Techno & Tech House Production in Live’ production course. Part 2 of this video can be seen by enrolling at Music-Courses.com
