Korg releases Triton Taktile.

Roland AIRA – rebirth of the TR808 and more TR / TB stuff + Voice Transformer VT3

it’s this video which makes us think it will be the classic TR/TB coming back as analog or analog modeling machines – it’s just the end of this clip … NAMM is coming – so be prepared  aira looks like some of the a’s are for analogue? on of the names is TR8 or TR9 .. and some more melodic below – mc202? tb303? or a full real multi track thing incorporating some more and without the „you need to stop the sequencer when editing“ problem of the MCs..? good idea,…

Renoise 3.0 DAW – new gui and detachable windows for multiple monitors

Renoise is coming with new 2-screen design, renovated GUI more new schoolish but still based on „tracker“ kind of sequencing. Renoise is quite affordable (about 60€) DAW that intruduces more live/performance and Fx that can be applied directly to audio clips like envelopes and FM/Modulation – so you can do synthesis-kind of things directly.   also there are FX chains and busses in a way that looks unusual to classic DAWs.. sort of mixture of lives and Logics FX/Plugin concepts. so – what is a tracker? it’s based on notes and…

Max Brand Synthesizer 1957

https://youtube.com/watch?v=MI6icpItBQg this is basically noise – but an interesting machine – synth from 1957 by / from  Max Brand shown on the Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria)..Höllenmaschine (Hell Machine) tells the more non academic background so maybe that’s why it is not so known today? Diese „Höllenmaschine“ scheint aus einem Noise-Umfeld zu stammen und ist offenbar nicht so bekannt wie der RCA Synthesizer – dennoch scheint das einen Blick Wert zu sein, also – schau es dir an. Der Sound ist mehr oder weniger Random Noise. Aber zum anschauen …2. Beispiel..…

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..
