3GSM gets ever closer (next week now), and I am planning to show a new addition to miniMIXA – an XY control surface in the beta FXM Editor module. This allows you XY control of e.g. a high quality low pass filter on an audio loop or a modular (or even MIDI!) synth line – huge fun for a live mix. The FX chain (including the filter) can also include e.g. a stereo delay or reverb, so the whole sound is rather spectacular, and really cool to play with.

Not only is this something that I am going to show at the Tao buses (where Tao is showing its GamePlayer), but I also hope to do a small live demo at the Tao party – mobile music mixing, with audience participation, over bluetooth. Not being a “live performer” I am hoping the technology all works on the night

Just gone live is a fanastic clip made by the Slough Young People’s Center (SYPC) of a miniMIXA mashup – the SYPC DJ and rappers sound great, and are undoubtedly making mobile mixing history. There is a great vibe about the performance which was done on a Dell Axim, but I am sure future sets will be on phones. Interested sponsors should take note!

I will be blogging more on miniMIXA, what we are doing with it and where we are heading with it.

Enjoy!
