In this video, rjdtoob explains how he created the world’s first spinning wireless MPC-style  DJ controller, as part of his Commissioner Crotchbuttons alter ego.

via rjdtoob:

this video is a look into how i built the wireless controller that i’m using on tour right now (2010, “The Colossus” Tour).

To my knowledge, this is the first of it’s kind.

I also have 2 suits that i have built, which in conjunction with the wireless helmet and MPC remote, make up the transformation into “Commissioner Crotchbuttons”.

More on the rest of the outfit later, as well as a peek into the more mundane tech side of the stage setup.

Here’s another nice Berlin School style synth jam – Indigo Redback & Polymorph – Sequence Jam I.

via RanKirlian:

This one is a raw track I prepared for 1 hour or so on a sunday evening while I was tweaking the Polymorph. First string pad is from Quasimidi Polymorph, played via midi from the Access Indigo 2, who also starts sounding on 00:43. Then, on minute 1:29 enters the first sequence, bass sequence comes at 2:09 and shortly after appears the last sequence.

While this is not a very elaborated track, I wanted to share it mostly as a Polymorph demo, a great sounding machine and a great fun sequencer.
