Takashi Odanaka won the 2005 DTM MAGAZINE'S Sound Contest with his inspired voices. The contest was TO CREATE presets for the ARTURIA ARP 2600 V on the theme "Bird".

The jury was made of Katsunori Ujiie and Mitsuru Sakaue from Idecs, and from a panel of DTM magazine journalists.

Here is what Mr Odanaka says about his work: "The theme of the contest was 'bird'. But I thought it would not be interesting if the sound was only made of birds humming. So I tried to add the feeling of being in the woods by using noise. It was actually very difficult to make the sound of the insects. I could not use different ADSR settings at the same time, so I used the voltage processors and tracking generator to make it."

Starting from a background of a successful Atari-MIDI resource (tamw.atari-users.net), Tim entered the sound design field by creating two acclaimed banks for Green Oaks Crystal. From there many offers from developers came in which includes sound design for Muse Research, Camel Audio's Cameleon 5000, Big Tick's Rhino, Antares Filter and Kantos, Dash Signature, Wusik Station, ConcreteFX, FL Studio Sytrus, and more. Tim has also founded his own company, Algomusic, which produces VST plugins (www.algomusic.nl). Tim continues to be on the leading edge of sound design in the expanding field of softsynths.

Katsunori Ujiie is a composer, arranger, and keyboardist. Also he has a great career in field of musical consultations, software production, musical education, and producing. As a sound designer, Mr Ujiie has collaborated for the creation of the presets and styles for many of Yamaha digital equipments like DX, SY, QY, VL, EX, CS, MOTIF, etc.

Hi Christian, could you give us a brief introduction of yourself ?

Well, my name is Christian Laffitte; I've been a pianiste since the age of 6. Since I was young, my principal hobby has been the creation of music. I developed a certain number of products and sounds for different manufacturers such as M-AUDIO, Dream, and Suzuki. I work actively on the Dasample products with Vincent Fontaine as well (author of the revolutionary GlaceVerb). Today, I focus principally on audio illustration and musical creation for TV channels and various videogame companies.

You've created several demos with BRASS. Can you tell us how you organized your work ?

I created these pieces trying my best to respect the sounds of true brass sections (trumpets, trombones, and saxes). It wasn't very hard considering the quality of the plug-ins (for these demos, I used exclusively Arturia products). I began by the rhythmic sections (bass/percussion), then I played the instruments track by track with a midi keyboard.

There were a few sections where the lip sounds on the trumpet were really good. Were there any expression used to get the lip sound so real on the trumpet ? Or just another preset or something ?

I just used a MIDI keyboard and the BRASS controls that work well with it: modulation, pitch wheel. I also used the pan and the spacialization parameters to increase realism.

Do any of the samples use a wind controller ?

I just used a breath controller on one demo called breath sax. The rest I played with my keyboard using the modulation wheel and pitch wheel.

Are these demos all recorded live ? Or is there midi editing done after the fact ?

Yes, the solos are recorded live. Normally, I respect the realism of the section (with three instruments), but on some of the demos there's some midi post-editing. This midi editing can be bypassed if the phrase was recorded with many controllers, but it is often difficult to record a phrase with a mutli-controller setup.

Did it take you a long time to master BRASS or did it come easily for you ?

Getting a hang on BRASS was actually very easy. I could plug in my midi-keyboard and start playing with the different controllers instinctively (modulation wheel, pitch bend, etc) The plug-in is a real pleasure to play, and it is excellent for editing thanks to the diverse parameters available.

What are your favorite features in BRASS ?

BRASS works really well in Cubase; it?s a plug-in that will really make some waves. Unlike wavetables, predictable and even a bit boring, BRASS offers the features covering the smallest details that really make a difference in the realism and expression. There are different factors to take into consideration such as the attack and the pitch (one of my personal favorites on the trumpet). Thanks to BRASS, there are not too many limitations left to playing brass instruments in solo OR ensemble. Breath modulation is incredible ? a bit difficult for any musician to master at first ? but it is none the less it is a ground breaking controller that will soon become irreplaceable to almost anyone who tries it. BRASS is better than any other virtual brass band that I know. To resume: it sounds great!

Born 1957 in Los Angeles. Allan Gelbard became involved in Electronic Music in 73. Bought the Model 2 in 74. Ran synth departments at Whittier Plaza Music, West LA Music and the Guitar Center, Hollywood between 74-77. Attended the LA Center for Electronic Music.

Now, he is a prominent First Amendment attorney. He also practices intellectual property and entertainment law. Allan became interested in making music again after attending the Burningman Festival in 1999. He is now working on his first techno/fusion.

Born 1956 in northeastern Ohio, USA. In 1965, the opening feedback on The Beatles' "I Feel Fine" became the inspiration for an amateur musical life devoted to electronic music. Five years later, Keith Emerson's Modular Mg solo on "Lucky Man" drew his attention to synthesizers. He was a founding member of a rock band called Drawbridge in the early 1970’s. Chris became interested in creating loop-oriented music after hearing Fripp & Eno’s (No Pussyfooting) and Eno’s Discreet Music.

His primary interest has been in using electronic instruments, including the Theremin and the MiniMg. Chris found that the MiniMg could emulate a fairly convincing Theremin voice, and applied the same approach to Arturia’s Mg Modular V. This experimentation resulted in three patches: Theremin1, Martenot & Tannerin.

Chris has a home studio where he is currently working on two CD’s: one re-creating the original music of Drawbridge and an ambient loop-based project using non-standard scales and modes.
