Bedeutung von iOS 8 und OS X 10.10 für Musiker

Gestern wurden neue Betriebssysteme auf der Entwicklerkonferenz WWDC von Apple vorgestellt. Beide werden im Herbst zu uns kommen und die Anforderungen für OS X Yosemite (Aussprache ist übrigens „Yo’Semmitti“) sind ähnlich der für Mavericks (2007er MacBooks und später sind drin und werden laufen) und bei iOS 8 ist es ebenso – alles ab iPad 2 ist dabei. So komme ich persönlich noch gerade um einen Neukauf herum. Aber – dies ist Apple – Musiker müssen aber zunehmend damit rechnen, dass Halleffekte oder ähnliches abgeschaltet werden müssen auf dem 2er bei…

Erica Synths from Latvia

Erica Synths has created a lot of interesting little projects in Latvia – this one is a simple synth but it’s not the only  (btw not bad looking) one.. besides a rack mount synth that is again simple in a way but looks very easy to use. sounds not bad as well as shown here: Erica Synths ACIDBOX demoDieses Video auf YouTube ansehen here’s a larger image of the rack mount synth(s) – a 2 OSC’ed synth – some are recreations and inspirations like the Shruti and Ambika.. in fact it is…

Bazillen überall! – Betafest mit Betatest für den bakteriellen Modularsynth

Bazille (Bacteria!) is a small scale software synth most of you may already know since there are a lot of pre-infos and even a beta that is still running from older times – but the new and final one has some more stuff in it especially what’s going on between oscillators. so just check it out and listen yourself since it is public beta.. Die Bazille ist schon sehr lang erwartet – ein 4 OSC-Modulsystem mit einer Menge Möglichkeiten – diverse Modulationsoptionen zwischen Oszillatoren neben FM sind das wichtigste „Neue“…

XILS 4 Upgrade : 2x VCS3

The EMS Emulation XILS3 got an upgrade- and it is the first one to try things that a normal VCS3 / AKS can’t do . or to be honest – which may be possible but no one has this at home – a double VCS3 that has 12 OSCs 2 filters 4 envelope generators / with repeat – loop 5 LFOs (poly) 4 outputs some FX this is a nice FM monster .. so if you loved „The Klinik“ and those more classic early electronic guys like David Voorhaus.. the…

Moog Werkstatt – Synth DIY Workshop (at Moogfest)

this little article about a very Volca’istic Moog Werkstatt Analog Synthesizer Coming To Moogfest feels a bit strange but why not making your own gadget at a festival – don’t know if it’s true or not but the name is nice ;) it’s not much more than one AD Envelope (with sustain), one simple OSC with PWM and Pulse/Saw Waveforms, low pass filter and a least an LFO with 2 wave shapes and a simple „keyboard“ at the bottom (buttons) – since the label is Analog Synth / Moogfest 2014 – it…

Roland Aira in a black suit

Ulrich Bielefeld (the man behind Oscillation-Rhythm) sent these pics my way – just for those who’d like to know – how do they look like when you paint those green framing black – So sieht es aus, wenn man die grünen Rahmen schwarz einfärbt. Danke an Ulrich für die Bilder und den Selbstversuch. Diskutiert wurde dies und mehr  auf über 136 Seiten im Forum: Roland Aira TR-8 und Roland AIRA – TR8 – TB3 – System 1 Original look: (my shots from the Musikmesse 2014) __ Added to SynthDB / UPDATE: Dave Smith…
