Lemur Sequencer

[assadicted]

your beat is good but i absolutely don't like the sound you make

[anakarina1011]

I want to make music but jazzmutant does not sell these anymore! Does anyone know a better alternative?

[iluluvsbreaks]

@anakarina1011 ipad with touchosc or do what i did and buy a lemur off ebay.

[774434]

wow u suck at making beats. nice machine tho

[link7link7]

@774434 its called house music

[Riezz73]

is it possible Jean Michel Jarre use it also?

it looks something i did see at a gig of him in Antwerp recentely

[HOAKSRECORDS]

NICE TRACK

My first track whit Fl studio XXL 9,enjoy and comments

HOAK'S Records:

watch?v=oHw3e_h1cCw

[Slaylaylayger]

better sell it you jerk and learn how to stay in time

[chaywoo]

I just posted a comment and its gone? maybe coz it was a reply.. first dont buy the Lemur for Logic, or you will be very very sorry.

[killtheswitch]

how well does this device go with mainstage or logic?

[machinate]

@killtheswitch this just outputs plain midi, so it works rather well :)

By now I've moved onto Max For Live, which would have to send midi from Live out to other software to work like that.

[JSprayaEntertainment]

@killtheswitch it can Work with any DAW that accepts midi ...

Can u think of a use for it ? would u sequence like this video shows or do u sequence in logic ?

[Nooreazy]

I CAME

[preciseroofer]

Lovin it where do i get one?

[heyim89yearsold]

what speakers are being used?

[oettingerkoenig]

Is this a sequencer from Starship Enterprise? It looks so. :-)

[changolucky]

does it works with albeton live?

[machinate]

It does indeed. I plan to revive this little thing when Max For Live gets released, too.

[ashyashyashy]

yes

[felipescalador]

hello. so in order to have the step sequencer. you need to bou cycling 74 software???

[lastrange123]

oh nice

[DeepHouseBunny]

nice riff man

[buzbee1991]

or maybe not my bad

[buzbee1991]

ok so is this the jazzmutant lemur??? that looks much bigger than 12inches....???

[buzbee1991]

im buying one.

this summer

[TheJazzMutant]

Me to :)

[ICEKamiKaze]

creating music .. :> WHERE CAN I GET THIS THING? :X

[Oaks420]

WHERE CAN I BUY THESE!!

[sacredgeometry]

the internet

[biofunk]

not the future here sorry. generator on the ps1 smokes this.

[blink13productions]

go read about the lemur before you say something like that... it can control everything (besides being a synth and great tool with totally customizable interface) including lights in your set and sound effects and your DAW...

[segwist]

Whats the patch/pluggo? Is it up on the User Area on the JM site at all? Just got my Dexter to Dual Mode to Lemur, so I'm starting to explore : )

[chopsmcgee]

i gotta get me one of these! killer!!!!

[realmadrid2gorge]

dang its dope

deadmau5 on it

[HedfoneDrumAndBass]

what the fuck is this shit?

[benboyang]

It's an amazing technology that allows you to sound like someone practicing on a $100 electonic organ in a box factory!!

[CarbonPete]

accidentally given the 'thumbs down', wanted to give the 'thumbs up'! Sorry

[blink13productions]

go watch videos if it's that then why does daft punk use it?

[20tree]

do they both work with ableton ?

cause then iam just going for wich one looks smoother

[trinicaleb]

Its not the tools used it the person behind the tools i ve seen ppl embarass Ableton Live and made FL Studio look like King Sultan. Lemur is fun though expression should be fun..but professional

[mynameishiden]

how much does this cost?

[Hiclyon]

a lemur 1999 dolars(EU currency) a dexter wich is the same but for sonar, nuendo, cubase and logic is 1599 dolars, BUT it WORTH!!

[Cubik89]

FL Studio= SHIT

Ableton Live= NICE

Lemur= TOY

Buy a real synthesizer and learn to play THAT. And then start producing music. Now because of these toys every fucking moron can ''produce'' music. Fucking capitalists

[lightguy89]

I don't exactly agree with you when you say that Lemurs can make anyone a musician. You still have to program it, but with that aside. You still need to be good at composing to make music sound good. You can take something like a BCR from Behringer that is a bunch of encoders and buttons and program to work like a synth or whatever you want it to be. The BCR is a toy but wont allow someone without any composition skill to make good music. The same goes for the Lemur. It's only a control surface.

[Cubik89]

Okay, I agree. It is an control surface. Maybe I shouldn't have made that comment. But the fact is that I'm just really annoyed about all these toys created these days...

[jbmayer]

everyone can make music man. its art. people tap into it differently. i think its great

[blo0magic]

@jbmayer dude hes sampling. Its not really a good way to make a music unless those samples really inspire you to arrange them.

[DimmBelkin]

I Totally know what you mean. Its frustrating and annoying. It seems more so than in the other arts; manufacturers have made making music possible to even the most UNlinclined "would be musician". I wouldnt knock any of the aforementioned programs just some-most of the people behind them.

[anikorising]

there are people who make music and then there are musicians who ARE music. big difference :)

[Mamiya645]

Pff these commenters. A rig without a laptop/stationary computer is a good rig, Lemur all the way!

[Septimius]

This is just like FL studio or ableton or any other program. Only with a silly, expensive interface

[machinate]

wow, that's... more than mildly offensive, haha. So all software is the same, and physical control interfaces are silly... right.

[Septimius]

All I'm saying is that it's really arbitrary.

[machinate]

Hardly! Would love to give you a tour of these systems, it seems like everybody wants to flame them without ever having tried it.

[crazyedd123]

i wouldn't mind a tour

and possibly a free sample XD

[dormiturefl]

just like fruity loops? yea its a squencer interface, most all are going to have the same type of layout. how else would you construct a pattern/song with out multiple pads to fill in.

[Septimius]

So that justifies spending way too much money on something that isn't even new?

[AlezVivaStudio]

for children

[machinate]

oh my kids play these as well :)

[loftyj]

expensive toy for a kid they are £2000

[FlyingFlemse]

give me . . .

[DrummerNigel7]

o and GREAT VID! i love this!

[DrummerNigel7]

how much is this? ty.

[kardasdragon]

about $3000

[DrummerNigel7]

woooo.thats alot...haha

[cullotte3]

Final Fantasy <.<

[Beadbud5000]

Sounds like something Daft Punk would use

[jeffmiller887]

it is exactly what daft punk uses, check out their performance at the grammys with kanye west, they use 4 of them at once. on their last tour they only used two of them, used with abelton you can control lighting and midi controls

[mynmyself]

can you control the same parameters with logic?

[fizzlefist]

dang what a nice interface for such an awesome toy :D

[roflroflomgomg]

use FL studio,

if you know how to use FL studio, magic can happen :D

[soupkitten]

i like FL but i think there's a bit more magic inside of ableton

[roflroflomgomg]

i think there's not :)

[soupkitten]

hah, you don't need to preach to me man, i've been in love with FL for a couple years now. maybe you need to teach me some new tricks cause i'm getting tired of it, particularily when it comes to taking it live.

[roflroflomgomg]

live? ofcourse FL studio sucks at live performance :P

and if you know Fl studio, then you know nothing can replace those pro VST's, the sequencer shown here only allows presets

[Neekstarrr]

Ableton > Fruity Loops

[roflroflomgomg]

you're fat.

[Neekstarrr]

I wish :)

[roflroflomgomg]

it's the holiday season and it's almost christmas, you're fat.

[psychofish25]

im a fruityloops guy myself, its prettier

[roflroflomgomg]

you guys are all 300kg+ man...

[creebefu]

That's awesome 'machinate', quality effort!

[Xiiknight]

I want one!

[ferrariberylol]

whao!

[lukeee33]

that is so fuckin sweet

[jaibobro]

hi-tech frooty loops

[j0hnasd]

it's fruity loops

but now it's called FL Studio

[PremiumWater]

How do you get one and if you can't get one what are some good trance making programs available?

[bjarkebech]

Any reason for using pluggo instead of Jazzdaemon?

[machinate]

they do remarkably different things. Pluggo is a way to make plugins from a Max/MSP patch. Max/MSP is a programming environment.

JazzDaemon ONLY turns OSC from the lemur into midi, but that wouldn't make sense in this case.

[bjarkebech]

ok. What does pluggo do in this case then?

[machinate]

the entire sequencer - all the lemur does is provide a graphical user interface.

[Coldice91]

How I can download it?

[machinate]

I'm sorry, but you can't. It's part of my music rig, and it's been more or less phased out, since moving on to other sequencing tools for the Lemur.

[bjarkebech]

Any videos of those to expect? ;)

[AleggzzzOne]

man...! u defenetly got the groove! that was a funky ass production!! im sure u got some releases out there!

[TwilitParade]

i am so confused. i've been watching your lemur vids and i've only just gotten in on this MIDI stuff. ok you have cycling 74 pluggo (which one btw?) loaded inside ableton. that in turn is interacting with your lemur? can you also explain your setup on your lemur?

[machinate]

which one? One I designed and built myself. It has a built-in sequencer, and its graphical user interface is built on the lemur. It only generates midi, the lemur is controlled via OSC.

[TwilitParade]

ok so it sends MIDI messages to your pluggo, which then gets synth sounds from Ableton?

[machinate]

no.

Lemur speaks OSC to pluggo. Pluggo speaks midi to Live. Live plays drum sounds accordingly :)

[TwilitParade]

oh cool thanks

[FRbione08]

really awsome

would like to have one at home ;p

[velyogendra]

Very interesting.I'm not a musician, but I love to fool around with stuff like that,

[DrunkedCat]

wow great impro

[zorropenguin]

WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THESE MACHINES??

[sirchristopher2000]

very nice!! Probably just my taste but that pianno sound you put on loop at 3:40 sounded nasty. gotto get one of these beauties

[SomewhereNorthOf]

hey a reg mac book 2.4 GHZ and 4 GB RAm would be smooth right I see a lot of ppl say macbook pros are what to use with this but a reg mac book with those spec should be fine right?

[machinate]

for sure - macbooks are great, unless you want to do 3d graphics.

[SomewhereNorthOf]

you mean like on jitter?

I dont know then what specs should I get when hunting a macbook pro

[alexandras4]

he owns this machine!!!!!!!!!!

[machinate]

THANKS! I like to believe I do ;)

[alexandras4]

its you??

really you are amazing!!!

keep up.

[xxmdizzlexx]

so...does it actually have any memory to store sounds/samples/virtual instruments, etc etc.. or is it simply a control surface? because, yea it looks cool as shit, but im not really ever producing tracks live, and if its just a controller, id rather spend my 3 grand on an openlabs Niko or Miko

[machinate]

Although going above and beyond "control surfaces", which implies a passive role, it does *not* do anything more than display parameters and let you control stuff.

It's really only ever a good investment if it's thought into a greater context.... but whatever you do, don't ever get a Niko/Miko - that's the biggest ripoff ever. A macbook pro and cool controller costs less, rocks more.

[sonorosapiens]

nice machine, cool sound!

[cheyneplayssax]

are you triggering live's beat repeat with the button the green button?

[machinate]

nope, although very valid question. I am actually dynamically controlling the length of the playing sequence, much like shrinking a loop bracket inside Live would sound.

[bjarkebech]

cool. Are these standard Impulse samples?

[machinate]

these were my own samples, mainly from old records.

[krzysiol18]

recommend a fruit loops

[machinate]

hi. have you ever done a live performance with fruity loops? If so, I bet it was the most boring ever ;-) - both for performer and audience. This is one way to inject more fun into programming, and also speed it up to actually.. work. in a live setting.

having said that, sure, the inspiration came from fruity loops. I started with that software like 8 years ago.

[japajew6]

dude.. sweet

[lbencivengo]

AWESOME

[PinotLebrowsky]

mammaaaaaaaaaaa...me lo compriiiiiiiii.....

..mammaaaaaaaaaa.....me lo compriiiiiii......

...mammaaaaaaaaa.....

[eyespy3001]

I think I want that track more than I want a Lemur... That's a good one right there.

[Badj4s]

looks like fruity loops.. nice stuff, already hooked to lemur

[tonsis]

i saw daft punk using this device for their appearance with kanye west at the grammy's..really looks great

[yersinia2]

This is nothing special. It can be done with any basic sequencer. it just looks pretty.

[eyespy3001]

Just because I could ride a bike doesn't mean I wouldn't drive a car. That's what I used to say about the iPhone. Until I got one. Trust me, man, once you start using something like this, you wouldn't go back.

[otakutheiii]

It can be done, but I don't think there's anything that can do this live except the Lemur

[seejayjames22]

a computer can of course, since that's what's doing it here... but not as intuitively or prettily. that said, the lemur is multi-touch, which is pretty rare, so it makes certain interactions easier. But with the right setup and presets, a mouse is all you need.

I still really want one though... there's lots more it can do!!

[machinate]

well, Im glad you think it looks pretty ;-) seriously though, I have worked with most of the available software out there, and for live performance using a mouse wont get you the results you need fast enough :-/ Still, the above instrument could be realized with monomes or similar.

[gustavogus15]

perfect

[Vayshen]

Sweet! Looks like an interface from Star Trek :)

[Intosia]

I want to make some sort of device with a touchscreen someday :)

[cousinkitten]

BRAVO!!!

[DrunkedCat]

great song!!!

[Flowerboy21]

Very nice perfermence and nice machine!

[goober711]

it's like idrum... but better... touch screen...

[salmanc1]

I CANNOT FKIN BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW

[drummatix]

Time to sell everything´I´ve got to buy one of my own =D

[jeffreycollins]

I agree.

[Trigo091]

aggggggggggg !!!!!

[dazzelya]

I really don't see the point of this thing for me. But it looks great for dj's and vj's!

[dalasv]

really nice.

[lordoid]

damn...this thing is awesome. I would like to use it as a controller in my VJ-Performances. This has much more sex than my midi keyboard ;) But its too expensive for me.

[obiefernandez]

I really, really, want one of these.

[chucosan]

when is the fake me out one coming out

[theecannon]

o my fucking god...i need 1 of thosen asap

[deadredeyes]

Awesome!!! I can't wait to get a Lemur ...

[LeonarddeLeonard]

yeah ! nice machine

[adambomb337]

how much did you get it for and from where?

[adambomb337]

are there acutal notes going into the ableton piano roll on the computer when you do that?

[machinate]

It is based on a pluggo sequencer, that generates midi notes and sends them to 16 custom drum racks inside Ableton Live, so in a sense it is replacing the piano roll for me, if that makes sense?

[adambomb337]

that's pretty cool. Is it capable of sending the different velocities as well?

[machinate]

sure thing. What I do now is have one row for low velocity ghost notes, and others for high-velocity hits. It can also be programmed so that you tap the button once for high velocity, and tap twice for a lower velocity, kind of like a double click.

[machinate]

HAHAHA, good question!

I didn't want to obstruct the camera - of course I go at it a lot more while performing ;-)

[GATORUI]

fantastic!

i was wandering.. why didn't you used two hands? :D

[machinate]

Sure you can - it can be a step sequencer as standalone as well, and of course it can be a "regular" midi controller, as well as transmit OSC to software like Reaktor, PureData (which is free), Processing, vvvv, Modul8 and so on.

[zoiberg]

That's really nice. Can you use the Lemur without maxMSP?

[Shaul1Israel]

hey machinate this is Contra. very very dope setup, i like the tune too.
