Waldorf Microwave XT Editor – MonstrumWave 2.5 via Ctrlr

this is a CTRLR Patch for editing the Waldorf Microwave XTk , Microwave XT Digital Synthesizer, of course it can not access the Waves and Tables since they are higher SysEx commands, but this one looks nice to use. looks like a lot of work, tho‘ update: since it is not exactly free check the site – the demo is free! .. see comment! it’s here: monstrumMedia   note: update for the Wolfgang Palm App „Wavegenerator“, since it’s about Wavetables – the features look very interesting.

2 Month of Flattr – the real answer is… – Flattrbilanz

Es war auch klar, dass sowas nur Nerds überhaupt kennen und noch weniger nutzen es,…

Martial Canterel’s Liveset

Yesterday Martial Canterel played at Synthestic Beats Festival (with Klinik, Parade Ground, Echo West), he had 2 SH101, Dark Energy and a modular synth – all controlled by a CSQ Sequencer (I think it was a 600) and a KPR Korg Drummachine. Oh, no – it does not accept the landscape mode sensor – as always – this is just iPhone, so don’t expect too much.

Dark ZebraHz – when a Zebra becomes a Diva – at least it adds diva tech

Zebra 3 will and should and was planned to be the Zebra with Diva technology, means all the filter and osc goodness in a more complex synth like Zebra, here’s a nice one – you can NOW have ZebraHZ with Hans Zimmer sounds AND Diva tech but without multicore processor support NOW, the other one looks like it is still coming so veryone looking for very high sound quality NOW should check out the Zebra Diva .. of course Howard Scarr has his part on tese sets, know for wonderful…

Arturia goes the Apple way…

looks like Arturia is now permanently lowering prices of all softsynths to 119€ (199€ for most of them before). means – it’s about lowering prices to get the people to buy software who found it’s all too expensive these days, so possibly the synths may work out to cost 99€ for GOOD ONES sooner or later? hmm, did Cubase or Ableton get cheaper because Logic is now 150€ instead of 400€? Hmm, no – but… Ok, and to tell another thing – they went 64bit- it’s NOT a summer special…
