Massimo Cervigni aka Rhesystem aka MaxWithMax: Ho composto questo pezzo grazie all'ausilio di NUMEROLOGY 1.4.2t-Max/MSP4.5-Battery2-Reaktor 5 -Phatmatik PRO e Supatrigga.Preciso che con Max/Msp ho soltanto filtrato dei contributi audio(Granular Synthesis).Poi ho sperimentato creando 3 gruppi nella composizione all'intero di Numerology,superbo modular sequencer che ha dato vita a questo delirio sonoro!!!Complimenti agli sviluppatori!!!!!Per qualsiasi cosa contattatemi via e-mail a: maradona83@fastwebnet.it

Massimo Cervigni aka Rhesystem aka MaxWithMax: I have composed this track with the help of NUMEROLOGY 1.4.2t-Max/MSP4.5-Battery 2-Reaktor5-Phatmatik PRO and Supatrigga.I have only leaked some audio files with the tecnique of Granular Synthesis by Max/MSP.I have done an experiment making three groups inside Numerology that is a great modular sequencer that it has created this sonorous delirium!!!Congratulations to the creators!!!

Tweaking a Triple X module from my powerbooks trackpad and sending midi into Logic to drive an EVP88 and a Sculpture bass. The iDrum is playing by its own sequnecer. I will definitely be playing around more with that Triple X set-up. Which I had three joysticks to control it from.

MP3 Audio:  Numerology_Augustus_Looping (2.7MB)

It's basically three instances of the AU plug-ins Augustus Loop, transposed and manipulated in real-time from a Behringer FCB midi foot pedal. Twelve Numerology Group pre-sets bring the looping set-up into different "modes" for certain tasks or for instant transposing of all loops to match chord/key changes. A number of control sequencers run the filter cut-off built into the looping plug-ins. Midi expression pedals can change Gate Division of those cut-off sequencers while the thing is making noise. There's a lot more but I'm not sure anyone is interested in details ;-)

Although audio just recently made it into the application i like Numerology better then Live for this live-looping application. You get more control, but it takes a lot more time than setting generative stuff up in Live.

Multiple gate and pitch sequencers are used to play 3 channels of Stylus RMX: a hat/sidestick loop (played as slices and not as a loop) using a beat delay in Stylus with sequencer interaction for constant movement. A second channel is playing tabla loop as slices and the third channel of Stylus playing a single kick sound triggered with a simple gate sequencer pattern. The Piano and Bass are Kurzweil PC2X stock patches played from various random and interactive sequencers with modulated clock divisions and sub note outs, using 3 presets manually changed in real time. The piano goes to 16th note lines by using the legato button on a note output module in real time. Also manually used an XY module modulating the Base Note to change keys.

Apple Drum Synth's Pitch modulated with Parameter Mod for the main sweepy sound. Apple DLS synth for chords and Crystal in the background fading into the spaces. BPM, Quantize mode, base note and base Octave all modulated with several interactive sequencers via multiple Parameter mod modules. Dogs seem to like this one. I've found my audience.

Created by Numerology master Eric Williamson in response to a challenge to make 8-bit style 'game' music using Numerology and Zoyd.

On Janurary 8th at Eyedrum in Atlanta GA, Mr. MIPS sponsored a music and video show. Billed as the "Five12 Winter Summit", the lineup included:

Richard Devine
Five12 + KeepAdding
Suit and Tie Guy
Phonepunk
Mr. MIPS

Here are four tracks from the Five12 vs. Keep Adding set. The tracks are presented in order, along with a few notes about each. Due to issues with the source recording, and the usual live performance gremlins, the EQ is a bit odd.

MP3 Audio:  Railyard (6.1MB)

Jim (Five12) : Synthesizer, Augustus Looper, Custom FX, Numerology audio mix.
Brian (KeepAdding) : Live performance mix using Ableton Live.

MP3 Audio:  Funken (7MB)

Jim, Brian : Numerology, Live arrangement. Jim uses lots of gate divide to get a crunchy cymbal sound. Brian uses extensive ParamMod and Gate Divide to get a number of estoteric effects.

MP3 Audio:  D-Bunk (7.3MB)

Jim : Distorted synth w/ breath control.
Brian : Live performance mix using Ableton Live

MP3 Audio:  Blue Estuaries (6.8MB)

Jim, Brian : Numerology, improv sequences with live arrangement.
Brian and Jim both used a custom 'water kit' created from short samples of a stream from Ghost Ranch, NM. The setup used TripleXY modules to control performance-related parameters. Various sequences were also edited live to provide note triggering and gate divide.

This track was created by Uwe Hoenig as part of his review of Numerology in KEYS magazine. He writes:

Numerology and Reaktor : This track accompanied the review of Numerology 1.2 in the German magazine KEYS. It was cut together from a longer live performance. Numerology was used to sequence a Reaktor ensemble with a MemoryDrum instrument, a small FM bass synth and a simple sampler with variable loop length. A faderbox was used to control various parameters in realtime.

An unsolicited demo track from Numerology user dj nano. This track (and others) are also available at his website.

I wrote "110 Degree Hopelessness" during a Las Vegas summer. It represents to me a milestone in learning how to use Numerology's extensive ability to add expression to rhythm. It was written solely with Numerology triggering a Yamaha DX200. The minimal melody, afforded by the fantastic gating I was able to do in Numerology, brings the real FM richness and sadness to the song. Passing this song around is garnering some serious interest in PDX in Numerology

[This track was posted to the Numerology users list during the 1.2 beta cycle. It is a full-on 'glitch' track in the style of Autechre's Gantz Graf. Here are Robert's notes]

Just wanted to post a quick mangle I did with PMP and numerology. I was curious about some tricks AE [Autechre] uses for their newer stuff (Ganz Graf) , so with about 30 min of work I came up with this. How to be AE for under $250 Process:

1. get a breakbeat from some source. say a Haujobb cd called ninetynine($9 used bin, all the stupid EBM kids hated it) with samples at the end.
2. load up Numerology ($70), the modular sequencing program for OSX.
3. load up Phatmatik Pro ($150) within Numerology's AU hosting.
4. Chop up beat in PMP.
5. create new beat
6. using dual LFO in Numerology sequence PMP's transpose function at various times and amounts (octave + note offset)
7. use Destroy FX Buffer Overide (free) AU plugin
8. automate both the buffer divisor and mix % with more LFOs from Numerology
9. insert mda's Dub Delay (free)
10. have a gate sequencer that randomly triggers the mix % on dub delay from 0 - 75%
11. using Numerology have a sequencer trigger PMP's Comb Filter in/out as well as another controlling the delay time
12. all sequencers should be at varying clock divisions and not make 100% sense (though beat is typically understood initially, almost groovable).
