Neuron VS Project – free for Intel Macs

The Neuron was a prestige design synth by Axel Hartmann. The tech and developer behind it is Stephan Bernsee (former: Sprenger) from Prosoniq – one of the most innovative software projects – one of those is the morphing of audio material and the even bigger thing is the transformation to more woodish or more glassy sounds. there are 13 very new parameters like alienation etc. – the VS was the software version – a bit „smaller“ of it and came with a controller. the hardware was a bit risky in…

looks like it is coming at the Messe in Frankfurt (April 10 – 13) this isn’t hardware – but they will have something for us.. it’s Bazille, the modular synth.. imagine DIVA going modular but more like a nice compact synth like the ARP2600 or Macbeth M5 or Cwejman S1 kind of modular in software: – we’ll showcase Bazille 1.0 (to be released in June/July) – we’ll showcase Satin (tape machine emulation, due in May) – we might showcase Presswerk, a massive compressor (ui pending) – we’ll have a Digital oscillator module for…

Soundplane Controller

yxou do know, that I am a big fan of Aalto, the Software synth – this controller is not new to those, who have been following my posts on Madrona. A different approach to the Haken Audio thing or the Linnstrument – and other Controllers that simply try to add more pitch control or at least more or different touch/control in general.. they have a new software out – still in search for no-keyboard-keyboard? get your ass on the Madrona site..

Seaboard – Touch Keyboard

Seaboard is quite close to the idea of the Haken Audio Continuum – touch the keys and bend by just moving the fingers sideways by ROLI it reacts to finger position and pressure but has not that „flat“ design as the Haken Continuum. but also has an internal sound source – many Haken players tend to use the internal sound generation as well, so.. and Roli is from the UK, so it’s closer and more affordable. seabord  @ Forum http://youtu.be/gezmPUaXJUQ MTF Special: Jamie Cullum on The SeaboardDieses Video auf YouTube ansehen…
