There’s 2 or 3 little things I’d like to know:

1) as posted in prev. Post I normally prefer to not repost things rather than to push an older thread up again and to edit the new things – so you will have a more complete picture without lots of hopping – good? the only disadvantage may be: it will not appear as another RSS, no more Twitter or Facebook update is triggered and I can not tell you when I have checked this thing first – I ain’t bovvered about being “faster”.  so yes, no? better? post in the comments please..

2) the current form is ok? there’s almost more english in it except posts I see more in the local area) concerts and things related to the forum where english is understood but not enough to keep it as a real subforum ) so it’s almost english preferred here and some posts are german with 1 or 2 sentences to help you non-germans to understand what’s it all about.

3) I avoid posting things from auctions, synths with cats, women, nude or other just because it is there. means: I try to catch the essence of the synth bloggery-vloggery to date.

3a) I really MUST avoid all videos of some hands with “Me playing Depeche Mode on a XYZ”, because – sorry. it just sucks. if there’s a special cover that I find worth mentioning, I WILL post. but that happens every now and then. hmm, I like some special Lofi or Bending extras, but if it’s just sounding awful and screaming without ANY musical meaning I just add it, if it looks loke it could do if you got enough imagination and at least: it is a bit filtered by simply being human and got “taste” in a way. I really like some Buchla 200e noodles, but I don’t feel like to post EVERY Gakken 150 and Tenori-On stuff just because it is up on Youtube.

Hope you’ll enjoy my selection and please  - let me know if you miss something or want more words or details or something changed that helps? till now I kept tagging all “synth” (categories!), I start now also categorizing it, so the older content will get more or less (more less) important, since most of it is still in the synthDBase at 2 mouseclicks and some typing (just type syst and click roland to find all the System… Synths)

There is a lot of stuff hidden underneath, so you need to try to search and find everything. but you WILL find at least via GLOBAL SEARCH (to right labelled global SITE:)

just post in the comment if you like to say something about the blog at all and the way it is. maybe I can improve things!? but it’s just me behind it. but I hope it’s all cool. sometimes I have to work, less posts then ;)

if you want to listen my music or buy some of it just check moogulator.com I’m working on a new 12″ Split EP atm.. release somewhere “soon”

would you mind or like gadgets and computer stuff in here? some more about webby things? or just as is? I am much into web 2.0 stuff that are not always related to music but could be. want that?

(german:)

ich habe da noch was in deutsch, was noch einen anderen Themenschwerpunkt hat, oder wäre es sinnvoll Musik im Netz, GeMA und Co hier auch hin und wieder mitzunehmen (thematisch)? Ich mach’s eh, aber bisher im Forum und auf mensch-tm.de ..

Analogue Solutions did a nice step sequencer, not yet clear how to get long chained patterns but there is one specialty you should know:

It’s made to trigger other analogue sequencers, so it can be sort of sequential switch. But I really hope it is not just a 16step 16th note sequencer. today we need a lot of patterns for just to program our 64th DnB beats and melodies, in’nt?

Eurpoa was designed to be utilised with our SQ8 and Oberkorn analogue sequencers (and anything else with a compatible clock input).

Either use the main sync out or one of the seven trigger outputs to clock your analogue sequencers. Have them step whenever you like by programming triggers into the Europa sequencer. You can have 2 sequencers play alternately. You can mute the track so the Oberkorn/SQ8 sequencer stops! Use another trigger and you can activate the reset feature of the Oberkorn/SQ8! – Ein Lauflichtsequencer.

Whoops, they did it again and redesigned all modules and added some PD (Casio CZ) stuff as well- note: this is not for macs. 97 New Modules are listed there, the modules that were already there are much like the G2’s plus something more incl Wavetables etc. (jsut to remember). There’s 2 things I think be special: Terriain OSCs and Cellular Automata Sequencer. Also Flux and others look interesting.

We are proud to announce the new MODULAR IV. The MODULAR IV is a huge modular system based on the SCOPE software version 5. This very complex modular system includes 97 modules. 7 of these modules are the new exciting CZ modules (well known from the CZ synthesizers).

Amazing modulations and the unique feature to create a sample feedback at any position you want (i.e. for physical modelling and audio feedback) are included.

Price
198,- EUR incl. 19% VAT
(Release is available up from 01.01.2010)

Requirements
SCOPE Software v5.0.2617 (or newer)
DOWNLOAD SCOPE v5.0.2617 for PCI BOARDS on WINDOWS XP, VISTA and Windows 7 (32 BIT). This version supports MODULAR v4

and Dynatube devices.

Didn’t know there was a funny K5000 mod sold, which is basically a doble K5000 with the S-Version Controls and the W-Version added. Ad you might know, the K5000 is the most advanced addivive hardware synth made (beside the acxel / axcel 2). It’s not a mod, it’s a real product.

UPDATE: This is a mod, no official version!! so this thing has never been sold officially by Kawai atc. But the Yamaha one did:

On the same site: Find the FVX1, the early 8OP Yamaha FM Synth as organ here, too. so looks like they secretly put out organs based on very special and interesting synths. well, I didn’t know and I thought I…

UPDATE: It’s here! (I normally re-timestamp the same post since it is more important for you to get all in one posting rather than me to have posted it earlier than other, am I right? feel free to post – if you prefer extra posts on updates)

it’s ready now, looks like he’s taking first orders here: http://roland-jupiter.org/viewtopic.php?t=414&start=15

and another talk – in deutsch ist hier:

Sequencer Synthesizer Forum • Thema anzeigen – Neues MIDI Interface für Jupiter-4 Kommt!.

based on this post – I asked Laszlo who does it and it will be around 99€ or 199 for full kit. which I find cheap.

it is not YET ready but close to. keep checking the forum etc.

Das Interface für den Jupiter 4 mit allem drin kommt: Extra LFOs für VCA und Filter, alle Controller werden übertragen, so wie beim alten “Kampfhofer” Interface und vieles mehr, ich paste mal hier hin, es ist also eher mit Europa für Jupiter 6 vergleichbar als mit einem MIDI-Interface, was halt grade mal Töne und längen überträgt:

Got Problems with DAW to sync niceliy with hardware sequencers? I’m thinking of this one:

Innerclock Systems – Precision Din Sync and Midi Clock Conversion, Synchronisation and Delay.

They say it will sync MIDI better than using the DAW MIDI Ports of any Computer directly.

Here’s why and how: Sync and Midi Clock Conversion.

It adds a little app generating clock signals via Audio that will be used for re-clocking MIDI via the internal MIDI, so…

And there’s some more things like shifting.

These knobs are sort of mouses that can be moved on the desk to reach any knob on the screen. turn the knob when the desired mouse hits a knob on screen. yet unseend idea on controllers.

Nettes Tool für Komplexer um, wie damals mit der Hardware via Sounddiver Audiofiles in Wavetables zu wandeln. Waldorf? Warum baut ihr das nicht für den Blofeld mal ein?

Einige fragen sich wohl, woher das iPad so schnelle Speicher hat? Da sollen SSDs im Einsatz sein und damit ist das Ding auch recht performant. Deshalb gibt es wohl so manche Info über diese Performance…

Interessant ist ja, dass es auch bald 600GB SSDs gibt und damit kann man ja schon leben. Für einen Computer wäre es vielleicht etwas wenig nur 64GB zu haben, je nach Anwendung.

very re-retro. I really like the 3:00 Psych kind of Opticals in it with analog sound ;)

YouTube - The First NEW Optigan Disc since 1974!.

Also some “playalong-Organ” specials. It’s sound is very much about Lofi and has it’s special touch. Special on those is – it is all looped, so it is sustained and won’t stop after a time like mellotrons do…

watch it in sephia…
