Roland Kuit – Laboratory of Patching – electronic book (HTML+Patch Files) for Nord Modular G2 series

patching modular synths, in this case the Clavia G2 is quite easy, as long as you refer to the standard synths you know and possibly let yourself be influenced or inspired by the synths made to date and all those yesterday ones as well. but if you want more out from the machine, want to get inspired or just want to get an idea how an oscillator could be optimized to play with on your patches – this is for you. this is based on HTML so you can watch…

Dave Smith Instruments Mopho x4 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

Dave Smith Instruments :: Mopho x4 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer is near. Basically it is a slightly larger Mopho Keyboard , Mopho KB Analog Synthesizer with 4 voices and (my beloved) 3.5 octave sized keyboard (thanks Dave!). Very perfect form and style. USB for MIDI, MIDI in, out/thru combi plus keychain for more voices. filter FM is possible and 20 mod routings now (!) no ringmod or OSC FM as the standard Mopho, but this one looks very very suitable for the stage – well done on this format and it still has the…

Analogue Solutions – Leipzig SK – with Sequencer

(1) Facebook. sent via Tom J Carpenter – the new Version of the almost underrated Leipzig as a keyboard version, so it includes the ADSR envelopes (compared to the minimised ones of the earlier model) and it also has the 8-Step Sequencer – that display does not mean you can save sounds to memory but look at it, it’s a real nice stage synth, in’nt? the s.version…

Künstler? Selbständig? Nicht mehr lange!

Leider ist es wirklich notwendig, zu reagieren. Da Selbständige nicht all zu viele Freunde haben und die meisten Musiker und Künstler nunmal selbständig sind – dies ist leider wichtig. Deutscher Bundestag: Petitionen. Aus einem Rundbrief der frei kopiert werden darf: ___ im Januar 2013 soll im Deutschen Bundestag ein umfassendes Rentenreformpaket beschlossen werden, das eine  Rentenversicherungspflicht für Selbständige beinhaltet. Die daraus resultierenden Veränderungen hätten weitreichende  Auswirkungen für rund 3 Mio. Selbständige. Der einkommensunabhängige (!) monatliche Beitrag soll rund 400 EUR  betragen. Zudem soll die Wahlfreiheit, in welcher Form die Altersvorsorge erfolgt, stark eingeschränkt werden…

granular sampler for iPad – Granular App collection list: Borderlands,iDensity & Performance Samplers

Borderlands.is a nice granular sampler which is (hence the name) between everyhing from reactable to sample wiz‘ – as you can see – it’s also beautiful, not just sounding. aaand there’s 2D directional sample waveforms placed when working with it – looks a lot like getting it for my stage noises.. still hope for a cool Ensoniq EPS/ASR’ish AU Plugin – means granular PLUS modulation of loops, position and multiple ways of playing the sample back & forth – AND App for the iPad..–>  ipad granular there’s still nothing that…

Logic @ App Store – Logic Pro X coming?

Apple is kind of strange, from now they sell Logic Pro 9 for 150€ and Main Stage 2 for 24€, of course it’s smaller (430MB). So Logic X might be one step closer, and since they actually SELL Logic Pro 9 it looks a LOT like a completely new non compatible Logic Pro X coming sooner or later. Since they don’t need package and posting it it’s cheaper – but they also threw away all those sound packages on the DVDs, most of the built in effects are unchanged since…
