Cubase 6.5 with 2 synths and granular warper

remember Pad Shop? It’s part of the new Cubase 6.5 along with a VA Synth with classic structure (2 OSC, 10 slot modmatrix, standard stuff) and some sample stuff, they added comping (like Logic has) – and a warper which reminds of the former beat tool with granular technology. and yes, there’s warp markers. Steinberg rüsten auf mit PadShop (siehe link oben), einem Granularsamplesynth und einem neuen VA Synth, aber auch dem so genannten Comping, also in mehreren Takes innerhalb eines „Ordners“ Sessions und Takes verwalten wie in Logic, außerdem…

some interesting iPad Apps

CP1919 – a synthesis – sequencing tool via the spectral domain – sounds strange, but watch yourself: CP 1919 from strange agency on Vimeo. also TouchOSC adds Monome (Launchpad) kind of functionality. which is free!Control (OSC + MIDI) Adds Monome Emulation and More   or LoopJ which reminds of iDrum.. and 2 more sequencing tool that can be checked here.Oraison for iPad  

Updates: NAMM 2012 Synth Related Overview

time to detach the NAMM 2012 news – but for later reference – these where the cool things to remember: • Note, that some posts are updated without notice – like more/new videos and some infos be added to the „old posts“ rather than cluttering the blog with 3-4 updates on the same thing.so start from here. BTW I continue doing so after NAMM as well. • Info: einige Updates zur NAMM und auch generell hier im Blog werden nicht extra angekündigt sondern einfach hinzugefügt zu bestehenden Einträgen, also –…

Circuit Synth — tiny modular synthesizer for iPhone and iPod touch

Circuit Synth — tiny modular synthesizer for iPhone and iPod touch. very simple modular synth, iPhone only, but a nice idea.. Design your own instrument by wiring up simple modules. Included are three kinds of oscillators (sine wave, square wave, and sawtooth wave), a noise generator, and modules for combining and modifying signals. Dabble in techniques like additive synthesis and frequency modulation just by choosing different arrangements and wirings. that video has been removed by the developer himself, so .. don’t know how it feels like, yet. other modular concepts…

Modules @ Namm 2012 – Schippmann, Malekko, XAOC, WMD

There’s also interesting modules at NAMM. The Mega Wave from Malekko, a Schippmann Filter Module, 600€ – one of the most expensive filter modules – that is –  (remember  Ebbe+Flut, EbbeFlut subtractive,filterbox!) and XAOC got a little sequencer and wavetable oscillator called tabula rasa. pics: triggered via  Matrixsynth & Forum • Namm 2012. and here’s another modules bei WMD (the geiger counter people)
