Logic Pro: correctly routing MIDI from DigiTone
I thought it was easy and straightforward but I was wrong: just easy. Sending the MIDI data from the four tracks of the Digitone to Logic, to play simultaneously four MIDI virtual instruments, requires a touch of environment. You create a Monitor, associate it to a track, and then route from it to four instruments,…

Graduated filters and Compressors
I entertain myself with music creation and photography and I find it amusing that many terms and concepts and pieces of equipment are completely interchangeably. By the way, while writing what I just wrote, I couldn’t help but noticing that “I like music” usually means “I like listening to music” whereas “I like photography” often…

Violent, brutal DFAM!
The MOOG DFAM is at the core of this track, now available on Pond5, that I baptised “The violent war of the marching robots.” Logic Pro glued all together.

I’ve opened my GumRoad store! The first item on sale is a SYSEX file for the Novation Launchpad X that presents all the scale’s diatonic chords laid out neatly.

Oh! Lo-Fi beat with organ and choir
In the style of a lo-fi beat, I put together a few mellow sounds, easy chords, and some synth-esised choir. What I got is “Oh!”, available on Pond5. Logic Pro and nothing else for this. Enjoy it. As for the image, I made this up with Blender.

Sounds from other worlds
I made an abstract background of eerie sounds, and is available on Pond5 for licensing and listening. To make this, I played with the Sculpture softsynth in Logic Pro.

Metallic Clangor background
What can happen to the recording of a metallic kitchen whisk crawling on the bottom surface of a frying pan? Well, once edited, cut and stretched in Logic Pro, the result is “Metallic Clangor,” available on Pond5 for licensing.

Fading, wearing-off, decaying tape loops
Drawing inspiration from the famous tape loops by W. Basinski, I tried to simulate with Logic Pro’s plugins the continuous deterioration of a melodic tape loop: the end result is available on Pond5. In addition to the plugins shown, the Bus 3 was sending some sound to the Monster Fuzz pedal.

Concerto for electrons and positrons
“Concerto for electrons and positrons” because… well, it is electronic music! The track is available on Pond5. I made extensive use of my favourite synth: Logic Pro’s Sculpture.

Something with Moog Model 15
I love most of the preset sounds in the software synth Model 15 by Moog, so I used some of them in my “Sweet Techno Growl”, together with the (hardware) Moog DFAM. The track is available on Pond5.

“Space Vastity” is a melancholic lo-fi background
Mostly created with distorted samples, “Space Vastity” is my attempt a creating a soft, yet distorted and melancholic background musical texture, available on Pond5. While the music was created with Logic Pro, the image was done with Blender.

New melody in C pentatonic minor
I didn’t plan to, but after choosing, almost randomly, a musical scale and a software instrument, and strumming a few notes, something reminiscent of Japan and Orient and Far Away came out, and what I eventually created is a track that I baptised “Japanese Summer Nights”. It is one of the first pieces that I…
