TORCH: The TC-11 Orchestra

Posted on by

If your in the Milwaukee area, come join the new TC-11 ensemble and users group TORCH: the TC-11 Orchestra. The group is an outlet for compositions and performances that use TC-11, where players can bring patches for the group to perform together. It is a great opportunity to get out and play with other like-minded users.

Meetings will be on Sundays, starting April 29th at 2:00. The meeting location is the UWM PSOA Arts Building on Kenilworth and Prospect Ave. Email me at kevinschlei@gmail.com beforehand so we know you are coming, and we look forward to seeing you there!

TC-11 is finally out there

Posted on by

On December 14th, my long-term project TC-11 was finally unleashed into the wild. Now it is live (alive?), and in the hands of users who will make it their own. But I wanted to take a moment to thank a few people for their support.

My colleagues in the electronic music department at UWM, Chris Burns and Jon Welstead, deserve so much credit for guiding me in synthesis and programming. Jon has always been a huge support for me. And before I met Chris, I hadn’t written a drop of audio code. You can definitely hear their voices in this app.

Jack Miller was kind enough to let me dump TC-11 builds on his iPad, and David Collins has been a great tester and pre-release performer. Many features would not be there if it weren’t for seeing them destroying my early, rickety builds.

But the most thanks goes to my wife, María Valentina, who supported me even as I disappeared into my studio for weeks at a time. She has been an incredible partner throughout the whole process. And she is a brutal beta tester!

Thanks to all my colleagues, friends, and family for your support. Now go check out TC-11 over at the Bit Shape side of this site!

I’m happy to announce that my new app – Invisible Drum Set – is available on the iTunes App Store.

Invisible Drum Set is the drumming app for iPhone 4 and iPod Touch (4th generation) that lets you play 16 drums out of thin air. Using the gyroscope sensor, it recognizes movement between different floating ‘drums’ when you point the device in a new direction. Use your iPhone 4 and iPod Touch like a drum stick – just tap in the air. With 16 unique sounds per preset, multiple included presets, and the ability to create your own preset, Invisible Drum Set is the premiere drumming app for iOS.
