12.Sept: Apple Event. new iPhone 5, iOs6 release, plus x (iPad Mini?), APPfel-Laden in Köln

ok, just to let you know, expected things to come is the new iPhone, the release of iOS6 and possible the iPad mini (same resolution as iPad2 but 7,6′ display), there are rumours about other things but we’ll see if there’s one more thing. the mini iPad or maxi iPod Touch might be nice to be more mobile. Neue Apfelsachen, es werden keine Wunder erwartet, sondern iOs6 und das neue iPhone oder von mir aus iPhone/Neues und vielleicht jetzt aber noch viel(l)eichter etwas später ein iPad Mini mit der Auflösung…

New NI Maschine Design – more LED colours

more colours.   why and what? note – new colours should be like telling you things better via the same button, so it may help more than just „being coloured“.http://www.native-instruments.com/#/de/ … /maschine/ for all of you who might think it is just a hoax. 599€ is the new price quote from forum – aus dem Forum: the 1.8 version will work on both- the old and the coloured one. all maschine users get Massive for free. note that it’s not about colours, you need them for being a cool launchpad or…

Korgs new something analog synth? Maxitribe or Hoax?

Ok, this looks like a real synth now and  at 04 September 2:30 PST (8:30 morgens bei uns in D): http://www.livestream.com/korgusa you won’t find this: but some of us might be happy about it..: this (from the panel) is a 2 OSC synth with Ringmod and FM, 2 ADSR Envelopes and Multimode Filter and one LFO and memory, so it seems a direct strike to and against the Minibrute, if that thing is true, and see the Reverb and Delay Knobs on top? Photoshop or real – well,.. well – lets see…

Star Instruments Synare 2 Percussion Synthesizer + Sequencer

Star Instruments Synare 2 Drum Synth with step sequencer. is new to the SynthDatabase, it is quite uncommon and rare as hell. it has pads, it has tonal keys and even pulse width modulation incl. a sub oscillator along with 2 noise colours (white and pink), so it is in fact a lot like a bass synth with sequencer rather than „just a drum synth“. a big piiiouuu to all, this is from 1976!
