Waves go synthesizers – Element – standard VA synth

Element By Waves. is nothing special – a 2 OSCed 4 LFO synth with all you might expect but nothing too special except it is from waves – well known for their production tools and quite hard dongled (iLok’ed) and expensive bundles. But well – they’re good at what they’re doing.. has a sequencer/arpeggiator as well and they went for Jordan Rudess to put his name under it.. Forum: Waves stellt ersten Synth vor…. ein Standard VA, aber von Waves ist nun unterwegs. 2 OSCs, 4 LFOs, Standard Filter und Arp/Sequencer.

Synth 

King Korg VA with analog filter emulations and tube – rumours and wishes / MS20 re-release (confirmed)

something new approaching, also synthtopia asks for the MS20 to come back in form of a real synth.. if so, I ‚d still answer the same when I saw that controller first- make this thing sound just as it is, add octave shift keys and program change and give it 4-8 voices polyphony and a nice double full blown envelope and FM for those OSCs and it could be something very very cool…The Korg MINI MS-20 Monophonic Synthesizer (NAMM Rumor) – it’s now confirmed, there IS a $599 MS20 analog…

Cylonix Cyclebox Oscillator Module

CYLONIX CYCLEBOX is a digital Oscillator but is is able to generate a large (huuuge!!) frequency range which sounds like it might be good at FM and everything that is modulated at higher speed (audio, possibly beyond?) , it also has Sync to offer and a lot of waveforms compared to „standard“ analog oscillators. these shapes look interesting: Random pulses, truncated sawtooth, bipolar pulse, mirrored bipolar pulse, resonant sweep, mirrored resonant sweep, vowels, mirrored vowels there are nonlinear waveforms (however – don’t know how they are made /of ..) that „Mega“…

BiClock Euclid-Sequencer Module by COTK

this seems special and made for Xmas.. CLUB OF THE KNOBS – ANALOG MODULAR SYNTHESIZER. the 5HE module generates Euclidean Sequences that seem to have their own timing/clock – 4 tracks / channels… worth a closer look when there’s more to read and listen and hopefully to watch.. btw: have you seen that vocoder-kind of thing called the audio spectral modulator? so, COTK (club of the knobs) are going to be one of the more interesting manufacturers for innovative module concepts for moog sized modules.. there are not too many of…

Steinberg Cubasis iPad DAW

this is not the first DAW, since beside Auria there are others, but this one might be interesting to all Cubase / Steinberg users – (there has been a recent update to Cubase 7) and on the iPad this one looks tempting.. for an app it is expensive as hell (45€), so is Auria, but note, if you want to import something to Cubase you need to be very very up to date on your Mac or PC.. Key features• Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks (depends on the device used)• Over…
