NAMM: Buchla Acquired by Former Industry Veterans?

via DedMousie aka Les Mizzell on Muffs:

"... some industry veterans (including Michael Marans, former Keyboard tech editor) have acquired Buchla & Associates, with Don Buchla now acting as Chief Technology Officer for a new company, Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments. They have some really exciting plans for new products that Don's wanted to do for a long time, and now has the resources to do so."

I checked with a source and this one just might be true. No formal announcement on the Buchla site. Note this is speculation until confirmation.

This one in via Soviet Space Child.

Update 1/20/12: and we have confirmation from Synthopia (note the new keyboard controller):

"At the 2012 NAMM Show, several interesting announcements were made about electronic music legend Don Buchla, above, and the future of his electronic music instruments:

His company, Buchla & Associates, has been acquired by a group of investors, who are creating a new company Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments. Buchla wil be the Chief Technology Officer of the new company. The organizational change will bring design, manufacturing, sales and marketing resources to Buchla. The intent is that, by freeing Buchla from some of these areas, he’ll be able to spend more time to ‘introduce more innovations in music technology’, expand the Buchla product line into new areas and make his instruments available to a wider range of musicians.

Buchla also introduced a new modular synthesizer, the Buchla Skylab. The Buchla Skylab is a compact and slightly more affordable configuration of the Buchla 200e modular line.

Finally, Buchla announced that, after 50 years of not making a keyboard for his synthesizer [Buchlas aren't known for piano style keyboards, but he did have polyphonic keyboards with velocity and aftertouch in 1971 - 237/238 in 1971, touche in 1979 and the 406 in 1983 - see the Buchla 406 here.], that there will finally be a Buchla Keyboard controller. The Buchla Keyboard is currently in early stages, but don’t plan on it being a standard control keyboard. Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments expects to release a keyboard design that is as different from other keyboard controllers as its modular synthesizer is from other modulars."

Update 1/26/2012 via Ross Healy of Vicmod:

"The 3 owners are Aussies all working in the music equipment business and huge synth lovers. Lewis Chiodo, John Fuller, Danny Olesh are the new owners of Buchhla Electronic Instruments. Michael Marans is CEO in the US. Their intention with Buchla Electronic Instruments is to keep the brand as cool as it has been in the past allowing Don to do what he excels at ( creating/ designing). I have no doubt this will be a brilliant future for our beloved Buchla and Don/ Ezra etc. I have known Lewis for 12 years and believe me this guys LOVES synths/ playing synths since he was age 5."

"The best thing I saw today was the Schmidt Polysynth. While it is somewhat comical when you're sitting on your couch reading about it (and I laughed when I saw the Messe announcement, just like the rest of you) in real life it is as close to a work of art as a synthesizer can be in this day and age. Completely over the top? Sure. But you get a lot for your synthesizer dollar. Good thing, because it's a lot of dollars. Absolutely beautiful synth, though."

NAMM: Casio XW-G1 & XW-P1 Spec Sheets - Includes Sampling


This one in via Loscha

"The 2 lots of release envelopes on there means you can do Casio MT-65 style 'fake reverb', where the volume goes to 1/8th volume almost instantly, then the last 1/8th of the volume decays over 2 seconds.

You can also do this on the CZ envelopes.

They’ve taken a BIG leave from the CZ design. A shame the groove-synth version doesn’t have drawbars, which the Casio SK1 sampler had.

Interesting times for Casio."

NAMM: DJPad HP Touchpad Released

"The first dedicated DJ application for the TouchPad! Mix and scratch 2 MP3 files like a pro. Features a 3-band EQ, multitouch mixer and crossfader, split output for headphone cueing, waveform view and multi-directory library. This app is under development and we are working hard to continue to update and add features quickly. Put MP3 files under "music" subdirectory on TouchPad to make them available to the app!"

Available here.

Regarding why the HP Touchpad vs. iOS, via the developer: "In December I was able to get a cheap Touchpad through the "Palm Developer Program" which offered $150 + shipping for the 32GB models. There was no requirement to release an app, but the devkit's easy to work with so a minimal DJ app took about a month to develop. The side benefit since it's all C/SDL is that I should be able port the app to android and iOS (although there are far superior offerings on iOS.. and Android has major lag issues with audio so it might not be that great until android 4.0 is more prominent)."

Quotes

Mike Martin, General Manager, Marketing, Electronic Musical Instruments Division

“The XW series are not just new keyboards, they represent a new direction for Casio in the musical instrument business.”

“Casio’s formula of value and quality that has been the foundation of award winning instruments like Privia has been applied to a new product category, and the XW-P1 and XW-G1 are just the beginning.”

“The solo synth has an incredibly deep and powerful design. Among countless others, the oscillators even have access to waveforms from Casio’s original CZ synthesizers. It can create a variety of classic analog sounds, but also has the power to deliver sounds with an aggressive edge.”

'Everyone is going to be surprised by the expressiveness and range of sounds the solo synth can create, but that is just one aspect of these products.'"

NAMM: ARCHANGEL: Analog Sequencer and Touchplate Controller

pic via Suit Et Tie Guy on Facebook

Overview via Detachment 3 where you'll find additional info & media:

"Performance. Control. Expression.

These words describe the driving factors behind the design of the Archangel sequencer. When we started developing Archangel, we wanted to make something that is extremely functional yet acts as a catalyst for your creativity. The result? An analog sequencer streamlined for performance and interactivity in the modern electronic studio.

Performance

Archangel at its core is a 4-row 16-step analog sequencer with integrated 16-pad touchplate controller. The layout of the sequencer allows for instant access to every function available. Archangel can be its own timing master as well as slave to MIDI, DIN sync or an external clock pulse. The sequence length can be set from 1 to 16 stages, and step size can be adjusted from 1/32nd note to two bars. To speed composition and improvisation Archangel has an integrated multi-scale quantizer.
Control

The sequencer has five direction modes and three integrated sequential switches. There are two 2:1 switches on the top and bottom pair of rows as well as a single 4:1 switch for all 4 rows. Altering the step size and number of steps per row does not take effect until the start of the next pattern. The Archangel sequencer can free-run or operate in one-shot mode, which will stop when the pattern reaches the last step. The pattern can be restarted with the start/stop button, the external stage 1 gate, or via the touchplate keyboard.
Expression

As well as operating as a standard sequencer, Archangel can be played with the touchplate keyboard. Each sequencer stage will be activated when the corresponding key is touched. Each touchplate key is both pressure and position sensitive, giving 2D control of any parameter in your synthesizer system. Finally, there is an external CV addressing input that allows Archangel to be used as either a CV-controlled sequencer or a low-frequency step-based waveshaper."

A-ha's Paul Savoy's Vermona DRM1 MKIII For Sale?

via this auction
SN D 04651

"From The personal collection of Paul Savoy:

Paul is the guitarist and main songwriter for A-ha, one of the most successful bands of the 1980s. He has written most of the band's biggest hits, including "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.", "Hunting High and Low", "Take on Me", the James Bond theme "The Living Daylights" and the ballad "Summer Moved On". Mr. Savoy is a patron of the Woodstock Music Shop.

The DRM1 MKIII is an analogue drum synthesizer.

It offers eight instruments, each with seven knobs for forming the sound plus a panorama- and a volume-controller. The user interface is absolutely clear and intutitve - one knob, one function.

The instruments on the DRM1 MKII are as following:

KICK
Mainly but not only for making big and fat kick drums.

DRUM1 and DRUM2
Very flexible instruments that can generate kick- and tom sounds a s well as bongos. Anything from zapp to bling and fantastic PIUU...

MULTI
Three oscillators can be detuned and gives you nice cowbell-like sounds. If you like submarines you can create a nice sonar ping.

SNARE
What can we say about that? Well, you get what you expect.

Hi Hat1 and Hi Hat2
That's analogue (heavy- or soft-) metal.

CLAP
Classic analogue hand claps.

The instruments of the DRM1 MKIII can be triggered by MIDI (of course velocity-sensitive). There is also an optional trigger option available that connects the drum machine to your analogue step sequencer or whatever gives out gate voltage or switch trigger. Beside the main outputs each channel is equipped with an individual output that also can be used as a channel insert."

Doepfer R2M Midi Ribbon Controller

via this auction
Noisebug (RSS)

"R2M is a ribbon controller that generates control signals by moving the finger on the ribbon manual. The output signals are generated as Midi and CV/Gate control voltages simultaneously. Consequently R2M allows to control both Midi and CV/Gate based equipment (e.g. analog synthesizers or analog modular systems). R2M is the abbreviation for Ribbon to (2) MIDI.
R2M is made of two parts: the manual and the control box. For the manual the same type as the for the modular version A-198 is used. It includes a 50 cm position sensor and a pressure sensor. The control box converts the data coming from the manual (finger position and pressure) into the corresponding Midi data resp. CV/Gate voltages.

These are the most important R2M features:
* very precise and sensitive position sensor (length 50 cm) that responds even to light finger touch
* sensible pressure sensor located below the position sensor
* solid metal frame (double U-shape profile), silver-grey color
* several M3 threads on all sides (e.g. to mount the manual on a base or to mount several manuals together or to fix a strap or ...)
* measures: about 600 length x 30 width x 18 height (measures in mm)
* weight: about 900 g
* connection to the control box via 4-pin cable (same as used for USB connections but no USB function )
* cable included, length 1m (longer cables are available at extra charge, a standard USB cable type A-A can be used)"

Echophon sounds by Richard Devine by makenoise
"Richard uses only the Echophon to process the Roland TR-606 drum machine. All sound bites use same drum pattern. No DAW computer editing or processing is employed. The sounds are created by modulating the Echophon.

The Echophon is the result of a collaboration between Tom Erbe (Soundhack) and Make Noise. The module utilizes Erbe's gorgeous DSP algorithms on hardware developed by Make Noise.

The Echophon flips the script on the 20 year trend of software synthesis emulating classic analog hardware putting the powers of a true DSP coding genius into the analog modular synthesizer.
