CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the end of 2012

here and there I heard rumours like this: CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the end of 2012 – Industrial Music Facebook news at SIDE-LINE.COM. so it’s true, the world ends in 2012, thanks Maja people! you can still buy Moogulator CDs, btw ;) Wie man lesen kann möchte die Musikindustrie auf großem Fuß die CD dann doch mal kippen, in vielen Läden gibt es allerdings ohnehin einige Sachen nicht, so man im normalen Megadingsstore guckt, deshalb kauft man vermutlich eh schon länger bei freundlichen kleineren Läden, die…

Macbook Air vs iPad (sizes of the 11″ compared to the iPad)

just a little change to compare the sizes – this is the Macbook Air 11″ ok, the Air isn’t really made for music, but in fact it’s much faster than the first Intel Macbook 1.1 (2.0 GHz), about twice as fast. It has no firewire, only 2 USB ports – via Thunderbolt there are already „interfaces“ that make firewire, usb from it, the new cinema display 27″ is one of those, but there’s also one that does not force you to buy displays – of course.  they are still rare,…

Forum • MaEasy – Doktor Futura

Forum • DOKTOR FUTURA. DOKTOR FUTURA …THE NEW STEREO AUDIO ADVENTURE BY MaEasy …RELEASED IN THIS GALAXY MaEasy verlässt angeblich sein Raumschiff selten …aber wenn man ihm oder seiner Musik begegnet, kann das Mutterschiff nicht weit entfernt sein. Der Weltraum-Keyboarder verbindet elektronische Soundscapes mit groovendem Space-Bombast, wechselt vom P-Funk angehauchten 70er/80er-Jahre-SciFi-Beat zu cineastischen Klang-Eskapaden, verzaubert mit kosmischen Harmonien und freakigem Atmo-Pop, und landet zur Meditation zuweilen gerne mal da, wo man es nicht vermutet hätte. Das Sternentor öffnet sich bei MaEasys Soundabenteuern manchmal erst beim zweiten Zuhören, dann aber wird einem…

Gotharman’s Little deFormer – Delay effect – YouTube

The Deformer is a delay which is also able to digitally granulize the audio (about from the middle of the video) – the demos is just one triggered note to show what the delay itself can do. Gotharman’s Little deFormer – Delay effect – YouTube. „It will also have a 100 minutes non-volatile sampler, a multi track looper, Gotharman’s step granulator, and some other granular effects“

Alchemy Mobile Synth App for iOS

  Alchemy Mobile Synth App for iOS – iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. Alchemy is a synth with additive and sampling granular-style methods, they are offering those apps as sort of a launcher, not as a replacement of the one on standard computers since it is still hard to render those additive, spectral sounds in realtime. so this one is something like some others did – a remote control for important parameters? no – it plays SOME sounds, lets you set ADSR envelopes and most important things. so it is meant to be…
