App 

Modular for iOS

a free modular synth to use- but creating a synth needs modules from the shop – beside Jasuto (ios) and Audulus (also for os x) this is the 3rd real modular system – atm it’s quite new – and free to use but not free to built patches. ok, it’s not free, you need to buy some modules – so in makes a higher price – but it seems the easiest till now..  4,49€ for all modules. it reminds a lot of a standard modular analog rack system and therefore…

Nord Lead 4 – Performance Synthesizer

as said, there will be a Nord Lead 4 – Performance Synthesizer.- here it is. it seems there is no drum mode like the nl2 had and which I really loved and found very handy and intuitive. the price tag is around 1.650k€ rack and 200€ more for the keyboard. ->Synth Database NordLead 4 & NordLead 4R Key features – underlined: the specials 4-part multi-timbral with 4 separate outs. 2-Oscillator Virtual Analog Subtractive synthesis with Frequency Modulation, Hard and Soft Sync and True Voice Unison.

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…

Roland Kuit SoundLab II book of patching: Nord Modular / G2

Roland Kuit SoundLab II Mr Kuit is one of three very very talented modular gurus (the other 2 being Rob Hordijk and Tim Kleinert) – they all do very deep work and really go beyond the limits of the synth, in this case of course the Clavia Modular series which is unfortunately no longer available atm, but we all hope for a G3 sample-able synth since they got a sample engine and the cool G2 which must not be changed that much to still be cool – of course it’s nerdy…

New Nord Synth at Musikmesse

Forum • Neuer Nord Synth Musikmesse. please hope with me, that this isn’t another boring organ/piano thing.. here you find some announcement to a „new nord“.. but it MAY/COULD be the nord drum synth.. http://m.matrixsynth.com/2012/03/someth … -nord.htmlhttp://www.nordkeyboards.com/main.asp?tm=Home so here’s their teaser – very small – that thing is.. UPDATE: Looks like it is again just an organ or piano or just the Nord Electro 4, so there’s no synth, the community seems collectively pissed, no G3, no new synth, again.. Die Forumsgemeinde ist ein wenig angefressen, da mal wieder kein…

Apple OS X 10.8 Berglöwe kommt viel schneller (Sommer) mit vorrangig iOS-artigen Funktionen, jährliches OS X angekündigt!

OS X „Berglöwe“ kommt im Sommer, ist weitgehend iOS-Anpassung, bringt die bekannten iOS Apps und Integration für Social Web mit, setzt iMessages auf OS X Ebene um (ersetzt iChat), etwas brisant und in den Medien als Vorteil gelistet ist die Sicherheitsfunktion, nur aus dem Appstore, nur bekannte Entwickler oder ganz freie Programme installieren zu können. Unter der Haube ist wenig passiert, daher keine große Sache – aber sicher ein Versuch, Microsoft Windows 8 etwas entgegenzusetzen. Preise oder kostenfreie Abgabe ist nicht bekannt. Nicht ganz ein Betriebssystem, eher Aussenwirkungen sind hier…

Updates: NAMM 2012 Synth Related Overview

time to detach the NAMM 2012 news – but for later reference – these where the cool things to remember: • Note, that some posts are updated without notice – like more/new videos and some infos be added to the „old posts“ rather than cluttering the blog with 3-4 updates on the same thing.so start from here. BTW I continue doing so after NAMM as well. • Info: einige Updates zur NAMM und auch generell hier im Blog werden nicht extra angekündigt sondern einfach hinzugefügt zu bestehenden Einträgen, also –…
