Analogue Haven Booth Video on Sonic State
Looks like two of more to come. Videos includes EAR and Synthesis Technology. Title link takes you there.
PSP Rhythm 3.0 Released
Update: There is hope for 2.6. I emailed psprhythm and got the following back: "for 2.6 we'll have to wait for Fanjita to get his new eboot loader working. once he does then it should work."
Now supporting PSP OS 2.0. I knew I shouldn't have upgraded to 2.6. They also put a sample up so you can finally hear what it sounds like. The track is very Daft Punk. Title link takes you there.
"For use on the Sony PSP with Firmware ver. 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0
PSP Rhythm is a homebrew drum machine for the Sony Playstation Portable.
Inspired by classic drum machines such as the Linndrum and Roland TR-series, PSP Rhythm has been created to use the simple, yet effective 16 step style drum sequencer. PSP Rhythm incorporates the use of audio sample playback instead of drum synthesis. PSP Rhythm has been directly influenced by one of our favorite modern drum machines, the Elektron MachineDrum. The most significant is our use of "parameter locks" (as used by the MachineDrum). Parameter locks enable you to change the pitch, volume, balance, start and end time per step to create moving, changing melodies and effects. This control over your sounds will give you much more creative freedom and allow you to not only use drums, but to use instruments in your music.
The new features include: Wave file output, Reverse Drums, Start and End times per drum hit."

Lemur Software Update
Title link takes you to more on Sonic State.
"Most intriguing are the new messages for switching among the Lemur's multiple interface ‘pages’ from the host computer. This means, for example, that a composition could automatically change the interface presented to a performer as a piece progresses. Other new features include new graphic designs for many of the UI objects, six new functions for the Lemur's powerful built-in mathematical expression language, and new ways to customize the appearance of the standard objects."

TC Electronic Quintet - Elhardt Sings
From the man who brought us The Bahn Sage and some of the most amazing samples from the Alesis ION and MOTM & Andromeda A6, a demo of the TC Helicon Quintet vocal processor. Click here for small 1.4M demo. Trust me, it's worth listening to. Enjoy. : )
Arturia Prophet V Hands On via CDM
Title link takes you to the post. The thought of mixing and matching the two synth engines as one is indeed appealing. I can't wait for the demo to come out.
Via the Arturia Site (three simple demo mp3s are up):
"The modulation matrix of the Prophet Hybrid allows you to add modulation inputs impossible to add with the PROPHET 5 alone. The velocity, after touch, or the numerous other modulation sources presented on the VS that can now be used on the PROPHET 5."

Manufacturers and Their Faces - MESI
I was poking around the MESI website and started looking at the different manufacturer pages. After a few, I realized a pattern - many featured a shot with the key people behind the gear actually in the picture. Brilliant idea when you think about it. So... If you were ever curious about the face behind your manufacturer of choice, check it out. Title link takes you there. Click on the "Produits" link on the top of the page to get to the manufacturer list on the left nav. Enjoy.

Mini-Monsters and MESI
Title link takes you to a site sent my way via André Bihler. The Mini-Monster is a tiny self contained modular synth made up of your modular manufacturer of choice. They have configurations like the Doepfer Moog and MS20 Styles, and an Analogue Systems tiny EMS and tiny Vostok. Title link takes you there. Also track back to MESI for a ton of gear. MESI looks like THE analog shop for France. Very nice. Thanks André.
