you may have heard it already or seen it on the music fair in Frankfurt.. this euro size module is in fact the solo Kenton as a module, not the one with USB. it has 6 more CV’s to offer (additional to the CV/Gate you need anyway for any synth). 2 for clock signals from any MIDI sequencer, the rest is „free“ – so it should work for most of us especially hardware geeks. As the Solo it also generates it’s own CVs (to be used as LFOs) and portamento,…

QuNeo, Multi-touch Open Source MIDI & USB Pad Controller by Keith McMillen Instruments — Kickstarter.

18 Nov 2011 - 20:45 moogulatoranimate, serge

there’s a „new“ Serge coming up for $4600 (3740€) – it has some interesting modules to offer. Wilson Delay, there’s a dual slope generator (env), Crossfader, 3ple Waveshaper and the „new“ timbral oscillator along with a variable bandwidth VCF it’s called animate – maybe because the last and current one is „animal“ – needs a mate ;) Forum • neues Serge Shop-Panel.

Universal buys EMI

Universal wants to buy EMI, so the rest of the music industry is buying „each other“ until only one „big“ player is left to (sell mp3 in 128bps quality)? at autotune quality? ok – let’s just wait what they will do. in 2012 the music industry will still exist not selling CDs or the music industry has exactly one company left? – 3 players left right now – Warner, Sony/BMG and the new UnEMIsal-thing. insert coin. 3 player level, press fire to play..
