Looks like, they got a Casio  CZ on the iPad for us? The classic CZ series with phase distortion – possibly on the Casio booth on some/a 19.99€ – not cheap but … UPDATE: they got it! named CZ App for iPad fair What’s it about? These Synths: CZ1 Digital Synthesizer , CZ5000, CZ3000 Digital Synthesizer and CZ101, CZ1000 Digital Synthesizer – I’d still also like to mention the more advanced  VZ-series, which is sort of FM-competitor and capable of a lot more and casios outstanding 8-level-rate multistage envelopes, that are still quite unique. 【楽器フェア2014】CASIO「CZアプリ」Dieses Video auf YouTube ansehen Forum: Casio CZ Series…

Primal Audio 4Operator-FM-Synth FM4 with emphasis on emulation (ios app)

there’s 2 FM Synth apps all with 4 OP FM (not like the DX7’s 6OPs) but here’s another one upcoming FM app the FM4 by Primal Audio. coming in december – since I am a big fan of FM synthesis – here’s what’s different in here: unisono fatness microtuning arpgeggiator 8 voices on iPad 2 -3 sound engines – retro sound emulation so this may sound more authentic than DXi (which is a no brainer as well) and another one which is quite expensive.. will cost 99cent (introductory price)

Yosemite updates to 10.10.1 / iOS to 8.1.1 – both well recommended – sollte man installieren!

Since Yosemite wasn’t perfect on WLAN speed and iOS 8.XX needed some tweaks – now / today there’s both and I‘ recommend to install both – it’s about reliance on and with everything over „the air“. It has fixed a little start-problem with Safari on my Mac Pro, while the MBP has been ok before – but both feel a lot faster when it’s about things on the internet (WLAN/Wifi) – so they finally found the bugs. ios is just a bit fast on older devices – which is welcome.…

VST seems to be the only version since there’s nothing about AU so far. the device is quite the size of one hand and has…

RME – updates mixers – for all interfaces incl. FW400/800 – fireface and usb

RME has released their Total Mix für any old and new interfaces – so FW400/800, UFC and others just look like this now: to me this step and option will sooner or later will end up in an APP to control everything by OSC or MIDI or — maybe blutooth somewhat later when connected (since the interfaces do not have BT of course) but surely by OSC and the network already. it has been controllable via MIDI ever since the old green’ish design – but there will be more coming up…
