Madrona Labs – Vocoder Virta (Proto)

Ich mag Aalto (1.7), eine Art buchlaesquer Synthesizer, sehr intuitiv und gut gemacht und auf das Wesentliche mit West-Coast Philosophie konzentriert – das gibt es auch für Samples (Granular!) als Kaivo (1.2) – es scheint ein Vocoder in Planung mit der gleichen Idee… Übrigens gibt es massive Updates für die beiden bisherigen Synths.  I love Aalto, the Buchla-style Synth – and Kaivo is sort of the granular-sample based Aalto. Seems the same concept applies to the  new plans of Virta, found this little sketch.. very much the structure of the…

Madrona Labs Kaivo Granular Synth

you do know it – I am a fan of Aalto, and they or Randy makes an new Aalto influenced plugin which is not the same but a new concept which will base on grains and granular synthesis and it has physical modeling in it.. aaaand – it can access and play samples – well it’s playing it granularly.  here’s a little preview since it’s not yet out – but you can get Aalto for $49 these days for a limited time period. very interested in checking it out ..

Madrona Labs Aalto going to 1.3 soon

Madrona Labs.has put some images up, the Aalto is one of my fav’ed softsynth concepts (ok, I’d like 1-2 more LFOs/loopable ENVs) but it’s not all said – but here’s a nice shot – I did not recognize too many new things but as always it’s about details – it’s been said that MIDI and sizes have improved, there’s more to come, .. this one looks lighter… I’d love a nice iOS version of this synth.. here are some quotes, .. -> a random button for the sequener, -> inlets…

Madrona Labs Soundplane Controller

Madrona Labs Soundplane Demos at Decibel 2011 – YouTube. since Mr.Linn presented his Linnstrument and somewhere around NOW there’s a hand full of new controllers, that try to re-arrange the way to play melodies and scales – from the Linnstrument, to Buchla Thunder to Eigenharp and the Xylosynth, here’s the Madrona Labs which reminds a bit of an alternate Haken Continuum  – listen and watch. lots of fun, though. this one has sensor fields that are also pressure sensitive but not continously – nevertheless is seems to have position sensors per…

Madrona Labs „Continuum-style“ XY-Ribbon kind of Controller

Madrona Labs. has something that looks like a piece of wood, but check this.. Our first hardware product is the Madrona Soundplane A, a force-sensitive surface forintimate control of electronic music. What is intimate control? Instruments like the violin and hand drums give the player a very responsive connection to sound through their physical construction. In a state of creative flow, we stop thinking about these instruments as separate devices and speak directly through them. In a very real sense they become part of us. On a typical MIDI keyboard,…
