Analogue Solutions – Leipzig SK – with Sequencer

(1) Facebook. sent via Tom J Carpenter – the new Version of the almost underrated Leipzig as a keyboard version, so it includes the ADSR envelopes (compared to the minimised ones of the earlier model) and it also has the 8-Step Sequencer – that display does not mean you can save sounds to memory but look at it, it’s a real nice stage synth, in’nt? the s.version…

Jupiter 6 – recucing thin out of the filter resonance – den Pegelabfall beim Filter minimieren, Widerstände tauschen!

Florian Anwander • Jupiter 6 – Ausgleich des Pegelabfall bei erhöhter Resonanz. how to get rid of low level filter sound, a little mod, listen to the audio file to hear the difference.  … me-Mod.mp3 in fact the resonance thin out will be reduced by this mod (adding one simple resistor between R62 where it is NOT connected to R67 – connect it to the point, where R81-84 meet). Mostly recognisable in low pass mode. the audio file is in english, so everyone can follow, the german one is the one…

granular sampler for iPad – Granular App collection list: Borderlands,iDensity & Performance Samplers

Borderlands.is a nice granular sampler which is (hence the name) between everyhing from reactable to sample wiz‘ – as you can see – it’s also beautiful, not just sounding. aaand there’s 2D directional sample waveforms placed when working with it – looks a lot like getting it for my stage noises.. still hope for a cool Ensoniq EPS/ASR’ish AU Plugin – means granular PLUS modulation of loops, position and multiple ways of playing the sample back & forth – AND App for the iPad..–>  ipad granular there’s still nothing that…

Midi Ratsche – Roll/Flam/Ratchet Effect (doubling time)

this demoes a little device by Georg Mahr, that triggers sounds multiple times per step – we all know this as roll or flam effect from grooveboxes like electribes and reason – there’s been one by COTK – here’s one for even non-modular use. there is a another one that shows how the „rolling effect“ is played / set. just press the red knob at the desired place/time.

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…

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…
