NAMM News 2014 II Triton Taktile, Arturia Beatstep CV/MIDI Step Sequencer + Alesis Sample Pad Pro

Korg releases Triton Taktile. It#s basically a combination of Controllers like Pots, Sliders and Pads with different keyboard sizes – 49 / 25 – no 37 note keyboard.- it has a small simple synth aboard but not full access to everything so this isn’t for the nerds, this is for something to do fast and without too many special wishes on sound design. It also has a Kaoss Pad as FX Performance. It’s also available in smaller versions (25 keys). So welcome Controller / Synth Combinations – like Ultranova etc.…

Clavia Nord Lead A1 – Analog Modeling Synth – reduced to the – minimal maximum

Clavia were the people who introduced the term „virtual analog“, now it’s time to change the claim but – what has changed? this time it isn’t just a synth that has the structure of a Prophet 5-kind of Poly Synth and it’s approach to be controlled by twisting knobs – no – this time it is more emulation and simulation of existing synths like Moogs and Rolands. but they want it to be less than any Nord Lead ever made – but with FX this time – Clavia Nord Lead A1,…

Moog Duophonic Synth Sub 37 – der bessere SubPhatty!

this has been posted by Moog which is marked as SUB 37 Paraphonic – even though it is DUOphonic. That means you have 1 Filter and control of each VCO by 2 played keys – so this is controlling overtone control or pseudo 2 voice action black proto type – that one in the video has a display – the final one seems not.. but so many controls that makes the Sub better.. Added to SynthDB: Moog Sub 37, UPDATE: This appears to be a duophonic concept. so this is not paraphonic –…

Eurorack Oberkorn Analogue Sequencer

Oberkorn is a quite – so to say- traditional – sequencer and it has been changed over time and revised – and here it is – the euro rack version and it has one row for gate behaviour along with 3 pot-lines 16 step.. the eurokorn. not a unikorn but tells fairy tails to any analog synth. Huch, da sind dann mal eben neue Oberkorns die in das Euro-Rack passen. Es gab ja wirklich eine Menge Versionen davon und diese hier hat 3 Reihen plus Gate-Modus Zeile – er ist…

Medic Modules EKG Elektro Kardiogramm – Unique 8 Step Analogue Sequencer

this sequencer has some features of the Intellijel Metropolis and Ryk 185, but there’s these longer faders seems a 2-module sequencer so – you need more room for this.. since it reads like Oberkorn / Analogue Solutions – they had this Oberkorn Version which also needs more room compared to the pot-version.. anyway.. the special thing is – timing can be set and position as well in a way.. so – this seems one of the new school cooler ones..

Linnstrument larger now

the  linnstrument.that was posted earlier and here & there has grown sideways – it’s now more board-sized and reacts to pressure, position and of course position.  <— what you can do! Roger Linn stops by DSI for a Linnstrument prototype demoDieses Video auf YouTube ansehen here – controlling Dave Smiths new Rack Prophet 12 – looks a bit smaller than expected, huh? but ok – the Linnstrument has a lot more room .. so it becomes like Soundplane and Continuum Fingerboard but a different approach..
