Madrona Labs Aalto going to 1.3 soon

Madrona Labs.has put some images up, the Aalto is one of my fav’ed softsynth concepts (ok, I’d like 1-2 more LFOs/loopable ENVs) but it’s not all said – but here’s a nice shot – I did not recognize too many new things but as always it’s about details – it’s been said that MIDI and sizes have improved, there’s more to come, .. this one looks lighter… I’d love a nice iOS version of this synth.. here are some quotes, .. -> a random button for the sequener, -> inlets…

Thunderbolt auf FireWire Adapter da. Erstaunlich sogar bezahlbar, wassn los?

Thunderbolt auf FireWire Adapter ist nun offenbar da und kostet 29€ (wow, also mal bezahlbar).

MacBook Air 13″/MBP Retina Next Generation Mid 2012 – no user serviceable parts inside, SSD apple prorietary! RAM soldered – Retina MBPs

MacBook Air 13″ Mid 2012 Teardown – Page 3 – iFixit. tells us – you can not replace SSD or RAM yourself, since RAM is soldered and the SSD has a very special apple only connector, which is for the sake of apple being the one and only a very own unique one, so – you CAN’T do anything or buy SSDs or RAMs at fair prices anyware, same for the 11″ MB Air. so, guess what I think – the same thing on the new next generation Macbook Pro…

NI Maschine – Upcoming 1.8

The update will include the following improvements: – looks like the slicer will still be a bit dull, they should look at Geist from FXpansion how to use and process slices, anyway not bad to have time stretching – My personal comment 2 refering to my own performances: The LFO is still 18 Hz, which is far below standard, should be 100Hz minimum, and please add multicore support, after that there’s a lot improved, aaand – say you have a slice programmed to play and remove it in the chase…
