Arturia Origin Modular 1.4 adds SEM filters and FX bus/routes

Arturia Origin Modular Synthesizer  gets another update which now has a Oberheim SEM Filter option now (known from Arturias SEM V PlugIn) – of course you can seamlessly „morph“ from lpf to hpf (via notch) and use the BPF alternatively. also it has 2 new insert FX on board. (so it’s 6 fx busses: per channel, 2 aux and 2 master ones). also there’s an addition to the tonewheel organ mode. after the big run on the minimoog V with no other functions than the original has as a free download…

Drum Machine Legends for iOs

Drum Machine Legends for iOs is a real time pad recoring drum machines that supports and shape shifts from Linn Drum to Emu SP1200, TR 808, Oberheim DX, MPC 60 or TR 707 – it features 8 bars lengths .. check this: the skins look like this so it is not a replica of the original but a simple pad layout that correspond to the originals design. thats why the Linn Drum looks like this you can add all drum machines to one single pattern, so you are not limited to one…

Studio Electronics Boomstar monophonic synth with 4 filter option

Boomstar is the new synth, that can be equipped with one of 4 well known filters known from the ATC-Xi and even more from the huge omega 8 / code synths – both sound very rich and they’re perfect if you want a lot of massive trebble and brilliant sounding analog classic sounds –  4075-classic Arp 2600, 5089-classic Moog 24db ladder, SEM-classic Oberheim 12db, 303-classic Roland TB. each is $800, don’t know the € price, but I’d guess no less than 800€.. 1x Multi Timbral, 1 Voice, (2012) Studio Electronics Boomstar 3003, Boomstar 4075,…

Analogue Solutions Telemark K – Keyboard

Telemark is a Oberheim SEM inspired synth like the Anyware Tinysizer, the Semtex XL and the Analogue Solutions Semblance are… now, there’s a keyboard version – or well – this is some rendered graphics – maybe triggered by Minibrute and other new synths? they all know, we want to play? a good thing! maybe consider there’s 3 and 3.5 octave keyboards as well, but for a mono synth it’s not a bad thing, hope there will be octave switches – update: there ARE oct switches, but at the top – did not see…

Harvestman & MakeNoise Dual Prismatic Osc / Echophone / Bionic Lester

2 more modules spotted on NAMM from Make Noise and Harvestman, both known for interesting modules – Harvestman is analog this time! – but first the Make Noise one: it’s a syncable dual oscillator and Harvestman has a new (analog) filter called Bionic Lester – bitcruher-filter combination in sonic result. lpf and bpf outputs and also has all passes which are interesting (you may know the Oberheim Xpander / Matrix 12 APF filter combinations) – listen: – there’s a a new Tyme Safari mk3 in here, 4-16 bit capable oscillator…

Keith McMillen QuNeo, Multi-touch Open Source MIDI & USB Pad Controller

QuNeo, Multi-touch Open Source MIDI & USB Pad Controller by Keith McMillen Instruments — Kickstarter. This Controller is (like the Softstep) sensitive to 4 directions and pressure can not just used but pressing it toward a side of a button or slider with LED feedback. very interesting controller which may follow the Buchla Thunder in a good way – this looks like something I might love. more videos here Tom Oberheim appears in here, too.. and another video
