Synthesizer Evolution
Die Maschine denkt sich was aus, und kennt den Synth nicht – Egal was für eine Struktur, diese kleine Open-Source-Software auf einem Raspberry Pi ist in Zusammenarbeit mit Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) entstanden und erzeugt Reihen von Patches auf einem dem Gerät nicht bekannten Synth per MIDI SysEx Änderungen und hört sich den Klang an (ernsthaft) und erzeugt so lange neue Kinder, die ähnlich klingen, so es nicht total abweicht vom Ur-Sound. Es ist also nicht einfach nur beliebig-zufälllig. this open source machine on a Rasp∏ and software (Aphex Twin…
Beta Testing has started – Ableton Live 9.2 will improve things more silently – means – there so revelutionary stuff to show up but.. well Push has to improve but they’re not talking about revolutions. it’s 64 pads usage instead of the current reduced (drum) set of 16. so to say a swap mode 16 <-> 64. better pressure support and touch strips configurations which is a good thing. can be used as a mod or bend „wheel“ – then/now. you can grab the beta or wait till it’s all…
is it real? it is for 150€ per machine – this is going around in the blogs.. like: matrixsynth would you love one of these? one 3 osc’ed synth, another for poly arrangement, all with real time automation (motion sequence) and the analog drum machine, the synths are equipped with MS20 filters. siehe auch: Forum • Korgs Evolution? Volca Serie. what about a real electribe successor? or like to have a simple tr-type analog ..
Sneak Preview – A Revolution is Coming looks like NI jump on the path that U-HE started and fxpansion where the first – the analog kind of virtual software synths – yes – we do know about adverstising and NI – so just have a look on the real facts – but the demo sounds quite good, in’nt? anyway – not the first but the go along with it and .. no1 may miss „Massive“ VA sounding thingy after all?.. … Neues von NI (Teaser Video) – im Forum Infos auf NIs…
Moog upgraded the Minitaur to Rev2, that is enough to save 100 patches and jump through them with one key hold as „SHIFT“ key – which is quite clever to handle. – and Decay and Release now control different things in „one time for decaying envelope“ mode. this works from the panel, no software needed. the best one is this: Minitaur’s CV and Gate inputs are now assignable from the Minitaur Editor/Librarian software. The Pitch and Mod CV inputs can be routed to any function, while the Gate input can…
a little monophonic challenge to all musicians Who dares to create a track that is monophonic and not boring at all – can be done on any synth, modular synth or whatever, but please don’t use multiple VCOs to play polyphonic melodies – keep it interesting and you are in … no, there’s nothing to win at all, but there’s big repect if you do and even one or 2 tracks will arrive. Dies ist eine Herausforderung an alle: Wer kriegt mit einem monophonen Instrument, Technik ist dabei…
