Loomer Aspect – Semi-Modular Synth

A Nord Lead 3 inspired Soft Synth with LED-Look for Mac and PC with 3 ENVs, LFOs, 2 Filters and 2 OSCs is up for checking, there’s 4 audio demos that sound quite nice – not revolutionary but good. why software should remind of hardware? I don’t know. but maybe it’s simply helpful like a remix of a well known song. well – me impression from those demos: straight gritty basic sound. the clearness the clearness the clearness. I seem to like it. well, but just from the audio. at…

Roland’s latest..

Roland CONNECT 2011. they got a new looper called RC300, a sampling octapad (that was really a good idea, finally) and they finally got into the iPad with something called R-Mix.. and – it HAS Variaphrase in it, so it looks a bit like re-animating the VariOS on the iPad. it literally looks like some spectral tool like Metasynth and the coloured pixels and the audiofile are represented in both – the Desktop and the iPad Versions which seems sort of remote for „something“ – so since this is a…

Forum • Logic Pro X Gerüchte

Logic X soll angeblich bald kommen oder angekündigt werden.. http://www.mactechnews.de/news/index/Ma … 51053.html http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/index.php?ID=14063 http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11 … pro_x.html Angeblich nur über Appstore, außerdem Angst, dass das ganze in den Einsteigerbereich abstürzen könnte wird im Artikel gedämpft. Was Apple so macht ist bekanntlich extrem willkürlich/random, kann gut sein, dass da irgendwas passiert, was das Profilager gar nicht mag. Hoffe selbst auf MIDI (Sounddiver), Stepsequencer im Electribe Stil und USB Management schonmal im Voraus,damit ich nachher meckern kann. Oder wird es ein Final Cut Pro X für Prosumer-Hobbyleute mit Audiospur? Mal sehen.. via Forum…

Dave Smith Instruments – Tempest new introduction video

Dave Smith Instruments – Tempest looks like still unreleased project for a time, but there is progress which is like this footage – which is almost like „they’re new release“?.. and one of the comments are correct- he sounds like Bob Ross. all new video btw. – and well explained.. looks like the design did not change much (darker?).. it DOES has chase light kind of TR-Style Programming, dynamic Pads and all those MPC-Style „16 Velocities“, Tunings etc. aboard, so this is basically a good thing to have – a drum…

XILS-lab – Synthix

XILS-lab – Synthix is a new synth that looks like no emulation. it’s basically a 2 OSC synth with modmatrix and a multimode filter and arpeggiator. Xils Labs’s Synths (and former Arturia) were all inspired or close to existing hardware, so this looks like a break. the sound has always been interesting to check out, so… Ehm, ok this reminds of the Elka Synthex.

Kraftwerk Kling Klang App

NORMAN FAIRBANKS has created an App for iPhone from and for Kraftwerk. Seems it is a bit Tenori-On Style (just from viewing the images) but he says it is a generative app that takes the location to play some tunes (those are not generated but pre-programmed by Kraftwerk). look here comes at: 7€ but: It’s a novel system that creates music and sound based on realtime data depending on your location that are continuously feeded into the app, meaning the KLING KLANG MACHINE No1 can’t be compared with other generative music…

What is Apple doing with QuickTime? Loewengespraeche

Brilliant info for normal readers – worth mentioning it – What is Apple doing with QuickTime? Was posted within a Discussion about OS X Lion will feature a better Quicktime X that adds copy&paste and other standards compared to the current one (the player!) – for us musicians the absence of running power pc code will cost some long-loved applications for sure, if you want to know to learn what will not work on the forthcoming OS X Lion operating system open your system profiler (about this Mac) and check the…

Audio Cookbook – audio synth demos with details

John Kestons Audio Cookbook posts & writes about one or a half demos which is clearly explained and easy to listen to – it’s hard to tell but it looks as it is – like a Casio CZ1000 arpeggio or lots of demos demoing the Juno 60. there’s more vintage ones, but also the monotron – check it out, .. there’s software as well – even recording strange sounds like this one. Frozen Contact Mic in Ice by Radium-Audio „The projects posted so far include using a coil mic to…
