Marc S. Langelier got some wild results with a radio module in his modular, modulated by Parat+!

Video Description:

A little sonic background: I've been going through my sound library and editing sounds destined to be granulized by the Arbhar. The go between is the Music Thing Modular Radio Music Module. I guess it's very fitting that I found these sound files that I had recorded some years ago whilst scanning the airwaves with an analog tuner.

For my first 2 Arbhar videos I simply investigated the module's UI. And a beautful UI it is! Now I'm modulating the Arbhar with my favorite modulation source, Parat+ (via Instruo Aither modules over WiFi). Sure, I can go on and on, but for the sake of brevity I'll simply say that I'm really, really happy with both the Arbhar and Parat+!!!

The audio chain is Arbhar stereo outs to Roland 531, then fed into Aum on an iPad Air2 via a Focusrite 6i6. Processing in Aum by Reamp and Blackhole Reverb.

Thanks for watching and listening!!!

I'm NAMMed out. I've watch too many NAMM videos! But I did learn a lot about weird instruments, and perhaps a little bit about myself.

Let's close off this year's coverage with another find by Shazamm the iPad Producer! Audient EVO 4 is a 2-in/2-out audio interface that is iOS compatible, with an automatic gain leveler. The EVO 4 will ship sometime in early 2020 for $130, and they're also planning an EVO 8 4-in/4-out to follow it.

Pete Johns has a tip for those of you that use GarageBand and want to apply effects to a master bus. I guess GarageBand doesn't let you just do that? Fortunately there is a simple work-around, as Pete demonstrates.

Shazamm the iPad Producer did an excellent job of finding the iPad goodies at NAMM! The Artesia Pro Xpad is a slick looking MIDI controller, with an odd pedigree. It looks very much like the Xkey controllers, and that's not a coincidence. Artesia Pro claim to be the makers of the Xkeys. The Xkeys came to us from CME, but the Xpad doesn't appear anywhere on CME's site. While the name Artesia Pro is a new one on me, they've been selling Xkeys under that name. Other than the Xkey though, the two companies don't appear to have any other products overlapping. That's confusing. Artesia aren't just a distributor, but they also aren't the Xkey originator.

Whoever they are, they hope to be shipping these new controllers in March for $120!
