Prosoniq sold to Zynaptiq / Zynaptiq kauft Prosoniq

this is the message I read this morning – the sound of Prosoniq was always unique and innovative in everything sonic – I bought the first stuff for my EPS16+ to have a lot of very new effects and later there were SonicWorx and some years ago they introduced Isolate which is amazing for extracting audio parts like trumpets from a song, remove reverb (that was possible in sonicWorx already on OS9) – so I really really hope they maintain all the older stuff and re-release everything as VST/AU.. and…

Acidlab Drumatix Transistor Rhythms

Acidlab did Miami Drummachine and now upcoming – the TR606 kind of machine. Simpler  and possibly cheaper – in times of Rhythm Wolves, MFB Bears and other dangerous animals.. and there is Yocto… Ah, ein weiterer Clone im Bereich TR-Drummachines – dieses Mal aber vom bekannten Hersteller der Miami, die gegen Yocto und andere Clones wohl die bekannteste TR808-ähnliche Maschine ist, aber es gibt ja noch Tanzbären, Rhythmuswölfe und anderes, das wird hart – jetzt aber nochmal mit der 606 und ein paar schönen Einstellmöglichkeiten für die Sounds.

And yes, it’s authentic – I got this from some1 who is 100% into this – aaand –…

Palette – lots of modular knobs

Palette is an approach like Mawzer – you can put your knobs where you like them to be, but they are quite large. so this may apply to some simple things like Photoshop controls – but one large perfect self made controller of your own will be hard to do – nice and cool lego’eque idea – anyway. eine tolle Idee – einen eigenen Controller zu bauen. So träumten auch schon andere wie Mawzer – das Problem – die einzelnen Knöpfe und Elemente waren meist sehr teuer und etwas groß. Deshalb wird…
