Musikmesse: Radikal Technologies Accelerator with 3D Controller

Jörg is a cool guy, he implemented a 3D Controller that allows to do it the ROCK way, the synths is a 3OSC’ed 2 Filter Synth that has a lot of the Spectralis – but it’s a different machine – still, there will be a Modulation Sequencer in it (3 or 4 Tracks) and it sounds very fine & hifi to my ears. here’s a little impression..

Musikmesse: Korg Workstation Overview ps60 / Microstation

these 2 basically equally structured workstations work the same way, but microstation is more „workstation“ while the ps60 looks a bit more like a „trident“ kind of synth,.. there’s even a 16track sequencer on the microstation. 2 LFOs + Global LFO, not ultrafast, 2 ENVs, 2 OSCs, so it is a nice little workstation small in size but nothing „special“. hmm, nothing? no, it’s smaller! even japanese ppl with just 5qm room might be happy to have a nice neat instrument for „everything“. here’s the menu structure and I show…

Musikmesse: Final Pics – Feeltune Rhizome, Lemur and Openlabs

Here’s the batch I missed to upload. Impressions of the new Rhozome synth/sequencer – in fact it is a dual core computer with step sequencer up to 64 patterns, plugins (comes with a lot of plugins like Minimonsta and Ohmforce filters, so you may start with it immediately), allows other stuff, since it is XP E (for embedded) as OS, 18kilos, dynamic pads, and freely assignable to unlimited real time track length. there’s still room for more, so do not expect it to be the final specs, but that’s what…

Musikmesse: Images II – new gear & software

more Pics, Eigenharp, a strange controller that seems to have such a sensor like the Accelerator that tracks it’s „3D Position“.  Waldorfs new Sample-12Bit PPG Wave Plugin, the very cool Prosoniq (not really showing the new tool, but to me the most amazing extraction tool – sonicworx little brother – removes anything in an existing audio file. The large Tango controller and the new final Origin design form Arturia
