2015 – little things

just some little things.. 1st thanks for always reading this blog.. found on facebook DSI Showroom: happy birthday Annie Lennox –> 60! she’s still great – and btw. Alison Moyet as well, she did an album last year.. and: I just tried Wolfram Alpha again – they still can’t deal with other languages then English – but it is still great to stop by, they can do math’magic on almost everything atm. they threw out this on me which looks like a subtle something – if you can read/understand german it…

ARP Odyssey Korgessey Behringeressy. Korgs new ARPsichord #NAMM

ARP ODYSSEY is the one by Korg and seems to have full sized keys, 3 filters (2pole white face, moog and „Arp“ type of 24dB/oct) along with a drive switch and I assume it might have MIDI as simple as the MS20 mini has – note on and off – no velocity since the Odyssey has duophonic modes and is always in that mode it needs to be aware of 2 held keys. they seem to sell it under ARP rather than Korg?.. ..will  be here at NAMM 22.Jan 2015. as…

Vermona – new synth (for Xmas)? & Rumours – Arturia: Audio Interface + Synth, Clavia: Nord Electro 5

Vermona just wishes a merry Christmas – but look at that synth – seems like they got something that looks like a new comfortable full sized mono oder duosynth –  the Performer and their small desktop synths may be in in a way – but well – just keep an eye on them I’d say.. ok – if it’s just saying „it’s Xmas“ they could just put some of their current synth up and add some glitter – but this is something blue and new.. right? #VerMonaLisa Korgs Odyssey will…

Behringer bringing in the Vintage Synths II: Korg Behringessey EX2800? #ARP #Odyssey

Wir diskutieren schon länger über diese Idee von Amazona, die Behringer auch wieder aufbringt in aktiver Form: Forum • Behringer Synthstudie – Phat 108 -> Juno 106 Clone. – Korg ist ja schon lange dabei den Odyssey zu klonen – und jetzt mit Display auch bei Behringer für 500 Dollar? Ja, ich halte das für total machbar, mehr als alle Polyphonen, so wie in „unserer“ Studio über Analoge (siehe link oben / Amazona). Hier ist der Vorschlag den Behringer in ihre Diskussion nehmen will. Konkurrenz ist gut fürs Geschäft – sagen die…

Front 242 + Steril @ Kulttempel Oberhausen 6.12.2014

Just some Images <4U> I was asking for live images here instead of FB – and some said yes, so they will be here as well Patrick C. was hard to „shoot“ in the dark behind his Roland Juno Di and Ableton – and this is just a simple phone – behind everything -as always- is Daniel B. who also had a little Korg R3 Synth with Audio connected to his workbench, a digital mixer and eventide stomp box.almost Roland’ish (for quite a while). Btw. they came down with masks…

U-HE Hive Synthesizer

The Forum knew it • Was gibt es neues vom U-HE Hive Synthesizer? U-HE is doing another new synths that is sort of normalized (therefore not modular) Bazille – so to speak for U-HE this is „the VA“ synths with 4 ADSR envelopes, 2 OSCs and 2 subOSCs along with 6 open ModulationSlots and 2 LFOs. – so this is sort of untypical „standard“ synths from U-He that seems to focus on fast access (in this case for dance music or – EDM – (among others). They internally call it their…

Yamaha Performance AN10, DX10 & VL10 Synthesizers (yet fictional renderings)

Performance AN, DX and VL synthesizers is a rendered piece of synths that no yet exist to tell us – well – why shouldn’t we ask for digital synths with knobs? based on the AN/DX and even VL synth „plugins“ and groove boxes that may have more steps today (128 or so) etc.. UPDATE: Reface does DX – so it does FM and also the CS series. not bad, ok these renderings seem not to come with a sequencer built in but are up-to-date 3 Octave Stage-Synths. I could imagine these…
