Making Beats with Ableton Live’s upcoming Push Controller – focus: Step Sequencing

moogulator, ,

it’s a better improved info about Push – the Ableton Live 9 Controller, especially the step sequencer which is 32 steps but can be longer . 1:13 is the index to start without „intro blah“ ;) the most important and critical thing is the way how to input dynamic drums and melodies – most of those solutions just work with with accent which isn’t n.off for todays music, so watch this to have the picture of what may come – looks good. and always compare with NI Maschine

Koma Filter SVF201 (3HE Module)

this is the new 12dB/Oct state variable filter – therefore it has all filter modes except the notch type. the mix outputs are CV-controllable, and that illuminated something arount the cutoff is not just photoshopped, it’s illuminated. also there is an overdrive to get very saturated sound. will be at 259€ it’s brother is the FT201 – both are vactrol-filters which are not too fast but they simple sound good. the Malekko Borg Filters also got vactrols in it.     A youtube demo of the SVF-201 by KOMA artist…

Diesen für beide Plattformen passenden Video und Audioplayer würde ich wegen seiner Open Source Natur den Vorzug zu geben. Er spielt auch OGG und andere Formate ab und kommt mit allen…

FM Synth added to Propellerheads Reason PX7

moogulator, , , ,

finally they did something wonderful for all FM Synth lovers like Yamahas DX7 or Software Clones from NI (FM8) or Linplug Octopus (I never owned it, but can play samples additional to the NI one). well, propellerheads version is quite close to work like the original – means – there is one LFO, one Pitch Envelope and all the 6OP goodness you expect.

Steinberg Cubasis iPad DAW

moogulator, , , , 2 Comments

this is not the first DAW, since beside Auria there are others, but this one might be interesting to all Cubase / Steinberg users – (there has been a recent update to Cubase 7) and on the iPad this one looks tempting.. for an app it is expensive as hell (45€), so is Auria, but note, if you want to import something to Cubase you need to be very very up to date on your Mac or PC.. Key features• Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks (depends on the device used)• Over…
