Auria iPad 48-Track Recording DAW with VST support : at NAMM 2012

hmm, really wondering how they could make the iPad do 48 audio tracks and very close to DAW-editing like this – and those EQ and compressor look really cool, don’t know if they sound as good as I’d expect. But it has it’s price, to me the highest known for apps ever – $50. they even talk about VST Plugins and one being from PSP. I am not sure… but well – I did not find it on the Appstore,. maybe it’s not real? but it looks cool… especially compared…

New DAW: Bitwig Studio – the Ableton Killer?

Bitwig  is a bit like ableton – that means – the synths and plugs are below the audio track and arrange window, it has most of the things known from ableton – but it has a modular „environment“ which is more like max or the logic environment. It’s ex Ableton Codes in here, right? See the comments (Kommentare) for some add. thoughts!! looks like this – and supports 2-monitors..: they are in beta now, you can register to check it out.. here is a comment from The Blog of Julien Bayle…

Moog Minitaur – a smaller slim Phatty? no, more a Taurus desktop synth

Look what I found, or better what was shown to me (thanks Ole) via this www.facebook.com/pages/HET-INC – reduced the synth to the minimum don’t know if this is „real“ or photoshopped, but nice. – seems it’s real 600 USD. YES this is a new Moog and it’s really neat, smart and small enough. Here’s an audio (MP3)- all Minitaur except Bassdrum (they say) – in fact it’s more a Taurus than a Little or Slim Phatty, soundwise.. AND IT IS Minitaur Analog Synthesizer, not Minotaur!! the quote is here: The Minitaur Analog Synthesizer is a compact…

instant sample-to-synthesizer Reaktor Ensemble Skanner (free) algorithmicalizes samples

you need to register, but it’s free. this is a synth, that samples a sounds (looks like it is sort of algorithmically?) so you can say it instantly samples any sound and „converts“ it into something playable without being a real audio sample actually. sounds strange? the last time I heard about things like this was, when Technos Acxel Digital Synthesizer  was released – but does not look exactly like it – don’t know what „they“ have used (Stefan Schmitt, the founder of NI programmed it).  – so maybe try it out .. SKANNER  ok,…

Tenori-On App goes Sampling

Yamaha’s Tenori On App „TNR-i“ has just got a nice update (which is free for users – as always): you can now record (!) and share audio and assign user audio – the samples for tenori-on must be unter 5 seconds long (maybe because there is not real envelope – it’s a quite simple drum player kind of sample handling) – anyway – now it can also be sync’ed by WIST – that’s a WLAN/Wifi synch tool that some of us know from Korgs instruments. nice, that Yamaha and Korg…

SmithsonMartin – Emulator Kontrol Surface „Multitouch“ Style-Controller

SmithsonMartin Announces Emulator Kontrol Surface |. discussed on the forum for a while – they’re at $2.4k, looks a bit like 2 iPads in one box – possibly hard to sell but if it’s made the right way? – they say it’s 4 touches at once is the limit, that should work for a lot of controller purposes – they also offer this for Akaos, Live, DJ-Software or Resolume, so this isn’t made for audio only – but let’s see, will be out early 2012, they say they got some…
