Ken MacBeth just posted a nice and longer Demo of his latest 5U Module which is basically deriving from the Elements Synth but has 1, 2 and 4 Pole Modes – 1-4 Pole Outputs, built in noise generator and perfect chromatic tracking for self resonating filter – the very cool thing is – you will be shown all modes and can listen to it long enough. the synth in that video is the  Macbeth Elements (built 2015) Experimental MacBeth 5U Mk1 Filter 'D' Module Elements FilterDieses Video auf YouTube ansehen just listen…

Synth-Telegram mixed Synth & Audio news – processing (in a way) + gear-stuffs!

1) first – here’s a nice video of Devo – the Synth Lab 2) Soundcraft has just released a new analog mixer that is able to import 22 input channels to a computer AND does analog processing and has built in Lexicon and dbx FX to be connected via USB. The Signature MTK (for multitrack rec.) as Milla would say: mul-ti-pass! Soundcraft Signature 22 Mtk   3) there is a new Raspberry Pi „mini computer“ that is about 4 times faster than the one before – that makes it more interesting for…

Vermona – new synth (for Xmas)? & Rumours – Arturia: Audio Interface + Synth, Clavia: Nord Electro 5

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)
