The Quadraxii Joystick Controller is still in development, currently at it's 2nd version, with a single handed dual joystick controller.  In this tune, 3 of it's axii were used for controlling the pitch of 3 Voltage Controlled Oscillators while another was used for controlling the Cutoff Frequency of 1 of the 2 Low Pass Filters that were used.  2 of the other axii each controlled the output levels of their own Low Frequency Oscillators, that were used for controlling the pitch of the 2 of the VCOs.
The Pitch Shift and both Delays in the 2020 Player, the delay settings on the M300 and the delay time on the Kaos Pad, were all controlled live as well.
Oh yeah!

Asimov's Robots were originally written in 1992 as a 'Thank You' tribute song that I were going to send a recording of to Isaac Asimov, thanking him for all of his wonderful stories I'd read from him about robots. Wink
Sadly, a couple of months before I'd gotten a final mix of the tune completed, Isaac passed away.

65 Generic Love Song

(Vocals missing)
Contemporary rock Roland Jupiter 6, JX-10; Ensoniq EPS sampler; Kawai K1m synth; Alesis HR-16 drum machine, MIDIverb At the time that I wrote this tune, I was tired of hearing the love songs that everyone was putting out, usually finding them to be similar to a Harlequin Romance novel or something of that type. Tongue sticking out
The lyrics I wrote spoke of a chap 'looking for love'. In finding none, off he went to a robot-lover shop, buying the cheapest model he could.
To cut the story short - to his lament, when he awoke the following morning, the robot had passed away, due to rust.

I don't have the vocal version, though I may redo it later.

Industrial Roland Jupiter 6, JX-10; Ensoniq EPS sampler; Kawai K1m synth; Alesis HR-16 drum machine, MIDIverb Having seen way too many Tele-vangelists on the TV for many years, I finally decided to vent my hostilities in a tune.  This deep and tearing rant rips into those bastards who continually preyed on the gullible within our TV societies. 5605kB 0488

68 49 Progressive Rock Roland Jupiter 6, JX-10; Ensoniq EPS sampler; Kawai K1m synth; Alesis HR-16 drum machine, MIDIverb This was my very first tune that I recall writing, with more than 1 time signature.  The Intro and verses in it are in the 4/4 Time Signature (a count of 1, 2, 3, 4 - as per normal) and the Chorus is in 9/4 (a count of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)   
Over the years since, I've enjoy kreating tunes entirely in another Time Signature or were mixtures of different ones.

Electro-pop Casio CZ-101 Phase Distortion Synthesis synth.; Korg Poly 800 synthesizer; Yamaha DX-21 FM synthesis synth. This is one of the ONLY 2 tunes that I have archived, on which I had used the Casio CZ-101 synthesizer on.  Crying  I wish I still had one.  Crying
In this tune, I used it for the drum sounds and bassline.  A wonderful machine capable of 4 mono sounds at once!
