VST seems to be the only version since there’s nothing about AU so far. the device is quite the size of one hand and has…

RME – updates mixers – for all interfaces incl. FW400/800 – fireface and usb

RME has released their Total Mix für any old and new interfaces – so FW400/800, UFC and others just look like this now: to me this step and option will sooner or later will end up in an APP to control everything by OSC or MIDI or — maybe blutooth somewhat later when connected (since the interfaces do not have BT of course) but surely by OSC and the network already. it has been controllable via MIDI ever since the old green’ish design – but there will be more coming up…

NonLinear Labs – Kontour + upcoming hardware synth / concept

NONLINEAR LABS is the company of NI founder Stephan Schmitt. I first recognized one of „their“ new hardware based approaches to things like Reaktor. And Stephan writes, that he is still a share holder of NI. Well I don’t own Komplete 10, there are some new synths in it – Kontour being one of it (so can’t tell about details so far). It’s looks appear to be an easy to use but non boring synth because the comb filter is outlined as a module as well as 2 envelopes with 6…

New Electribes – 4 more Videos from BPM2014 & Sonicstate (last one being the best detailed so far)

additional to this  basic info on the new tribes – it’s now clear, that there are the same filter modes like moog, SCI Prophet 5, Roland (Acid) and others from the King Korg that is in fact a nice synth engine – there’s not much more on what is in and what isn’t – those Pads seem not to be played dynamically? But maybe it’s just these very quick and dirty music fair demos.. just some .. um Preset Beats lightning on the bottom for.. posing? http://youtu.be/gd8e7nsKIqs some more but with…

Korg – Completely New Electribes! + Sample Volca (added)

Korg has just announced 2 new Electribes that are more successors of the ESX and EMX series, Electribe Sampler 2s and Electribe 2 (like Apple: the new Electribe) both are subtitled as  „Music Production Station“ (MPC) – they are digital – they both got MIDI of course and can be battery driven. Sync via mini jacks that fit well with the volcas (analog sync). The MIDI jacks are connected via a cable/adapter – that’s why you can’t find it anywhere.. and they talk about „integration with Ableton Live“ what ever this…
