Korg seems to have officially licensed / teamed with ARP. Ok, that company was sold – so don’t know what the situation is and was – but now – they have an Odyssey for us. This year. Since the MS20 Mini is selling well, they look like making the classic synths for us, now? Hopefully shrunken as the Mini and with dynamics? ;) (no irony – I love it). Ok, this sounds a lot like fools day – but this is from the Korg Website! Those keys look a lot…
Never been „cheap“ but it has always been the missing link between MIDI, WiFi and now – Analog CV – it’s now another nice and smart box that brings iPads, Computers and CV together without MIDI – and note – you could also control any analog gear via iPad it also has Envelopes and LFOs and assigns 8 voices to it the Kiss Box was made to attach any controller to Hardware MIDI without true need of a computer in between. but it can be configured via Plugins/Computer but…
the did a big campain – did NOT show it on NAMM but will show it on the Musikmesse Frankfurt. Today was the big disguising moment of those 3 new retro-engines based on DSPs which is sort of modeling „something“ but not exactly emulating something – that’s why it’s sort of a new sound and maybe not a Gaia or post-JP8000 sounding synth. it’s a new engine – and we should not think much about what the new „Modeling“ thing is all about but just listen to it … in…
start hoping, wondering, wishing for news.. wie immer können wir jetzt schon wünschen und spekulieren und bangen.und auf einen G3 Modularsynth mit Sampling hoffen und das alles: Forum • 23-26.1.14 USA, NAMM 2014. important highlights @ NAMM 2014 so far: Clavia – the reduced Nord Lead A1 as always – we want our G3 sampling modular synth.. as every year. No – it’s the A1 – analog modeling – not virtual analog – the term that clavia introduced themselves and also shut down when the Nord Wave came out.. Duophonic Moog sub…
iRing from those who make the iRig series audio/midi interfaces (ikmultimedia) release the idea I know from buchla under the same name and idea – a ring at your finger can be used in the room to control the iPad (Buchla of course controls analog stuff in the 200e) Mit diesem Ring kann man beliebige Apps steuern. Ein ähnliches System gab es mal von Buchla für das 200e System. Herr der Ringe – Aber ohne Gollum. Es gibt dazu Videos von Messen…
this one i simply like – sort of CV’able Sample Module – like the VP9000 (VSynth) Engine – freeze – granular movement in any direction without evil things.. not cheap, – USD429 – don’t know the price in € / over here since schneider does not have it so far – but .. nevertheless very cool. <3 -> Manual PDF – Plays .wav, .aif, .flac , and .ogg files from a USB device – No naming convention for files – Independent control of pitch and speed – 1V/oct pitch tracking…
