"Improvisation in 3 tracks with the Roland JX3P."

All JX-3P with lots of effects.

Update: turns out the more aggressive timbre at the beginning is a guitar. I didn't think that was the JX-3P, although you could probably get that sound running anything through the OTO Biscuit.

The Poly Touch SN 00210 - Vintage 1979 Oncor Sound Inc Synth Electric Guitar

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Oncor Sound of Salt Lake City sold guitar and bass synthesizers in the 1970s. The Oncor guitar synthesizer had 96 fret switches which determined which note would play when you struck one of the six "strum bars" laid out where you would normally strum the strings. It was a bit like playing a full size Guitar Hero controller

Synthesizer circuitry built into the instrument, let you mute, bend, hammer on, and infinitely sustain notes. The lack of strings however, meant that you couldn't get any real guitar sounds, and the intrument was not a commercial success."

Sliver for iPad Now Available

iTunes: Sliver - Alex Matheu

Videos posted here and here.

"Sliver is a powerful tool for soundscape and sonic texture creation.

Working beautifully with any audio content... melodic, rhythmic, noise, or otherwise, Sliver is well suited for a broad range of project types including:

Soundscapes
Ambient
Drone
Glitch
Noise
Pads
Sound Design / Sound Effects
Unique Sonic Textures
Cinematic Sound Elements

Creating a playable instrument from any sound.

The core of Sliver is the 4 real-time resizable clips (slivers) that can be moved around the waveform. Each sliver has it’s own channel with independent volume, pan, filter, and sliver size. These controls can be set in motion with Sliver's automation engine. Sliver uses a real-time automation system to movement in your textures. This system also allows for override to be able to shape the ongoing captured performance. The filters and size windows are controlled by XY pads, giving Sliver a natural playability, creating a new type of instrument.

Touching along the waveform places, moves, and sizes the slivers, allowing you to intuitively scrub the waveform with a variable loop size.

A chain of effects assigned to XY Control pads allows you to shape and mangle the sounds produced by the slivers.

You can Automate every control.

Sliver uses Apples UIKit Dynamics to create physics on the XY Pads, allowing customized settings for the controls to shape the sound randomly with physics.

Sliver supports Audiobus, sitting in an input slot.
You can import samples via AudioShare import or Audiocopy.
You can resample, record your own samples via the Mic, or do both at once.

This app uses Background Audio and Records from the Mic. You will see a red bar when placing the app in the background.

Sliver supports MIDI learn and is fully controllable from Virtual, Network, and MIDI hardware.

Make some noises, mangle some sounds, create your own soundscape.

Features:
4 Real-time Manipulation Slivers
4 Independent Audio Channels
Full Automation Control
Apple UIKit Dynamics Physics Controls
8 X/Y Pad control
Touchable Waveform
Low Pass Filter
Temp Sync'ed Delay
Reverb
Realtime Pitch-shifting without effecting Time Domain (TimeStretch)
BitCrush
Saturation
Audiobus Support
AudioShare Import/Export
Email Import/Export (Sounds and Presets)
AudioCopy/Paste
Sample Recording
Resampling
Playable Virtual Keyboard
MIDI (Virtual, Network, or Hardware)
MIDI Learn
40+ Factory Samples
60 Factory Presets"

"A 4 voice harmony is set up using a Cwejman D-LFO (2 voices), MMF-6 (self-resonating) and BLD. Each voice is run through the 4ms VCA Matrix where the Cwejman RG-6 is used to randomly modulate contour dynamics for each voice channel. MIDI to CV for each voice is provided by the Vermona qMi. The Livewire Chaos Computer is modulating the Cwejman BLD pulse width, BLD noise amount, RG-6 slope, and RG-6 slew rate."

"Volca Beast II free sound library revisits the sound of Korg's new analog drum machine with expanded sonic capabilities.

Elektron Announces Overbridge Computer Integration

"We are very proud to reveal the forthcoming Overbridge implementation for Analog Four, Analog Keys, and Analog Rytm. This breakthrough technology completely erases the line between analog hardware and software plug-in instruments. For the first time in history, seamless DAW integration of analog synthesizers and drum machines is a reality.

Full VST/AU control

Thanks to Overbridge, the Analog range of Elektron machines can be deeply integrated with PC and Mac computers. The customized and machine specific software plugins, available in VST and AU formats, give direct parameter access over USB and allows efficient DAW based sound editing and sequencing. Overbridge merges the functionality of software plug-ins with the unmatched sound of analog hardware.


Bi-directional USB audio streaming

Overbridge makes multi tracking easy. Connect a USB cable and record multiple Elektron machine voices to separate DAW tracks in 24 bit quality. Or send audio from a DAW, process it with the analog circuitry of the Elektron machines and bring back the results to a new DAW track – all over a single USB cable and without timing issues. Overbridge even allows the Analog range of machines to be used as multi-channel USB sound cards.

Total Recall

Management of analog sounds and sequences has never been easier. Any adjustments made either directly on the Elektron hardware or via the software plug-in can be automatically recalled when loading a DAW project. Overbridge offers ultimate convenience when handling Elektron machine data.

Overbridge will be a part of a free OS update expected to be released Q4 2014. The OS update will work on all Analog Four, Analog Keys, and Analog Rytm units in existence."

Arturia Announces Alluring MiniBrute SE Silver Dream Machine

"“Arturia did a great job of implementing my classic filter design. It’s nice to see my design being brought back to life in a quality product.”

- Nyle Steiner (electronic musical instrument designer)

[Note there was a silver version of the original Steiner Parker Synthacon as seen here.]

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to launch MiniBrute SE — a ‘special edition’ of its amazing analogue monosynth par excellence — at Musikmesse 2014, March 12-15 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Arturia’s red-hot MiniBrute Analog Synthesizer set the electronic musical instrument world alight immediately upon its introduction in 2012. Indeed, it rapidly reset the price/performance ratio benchmark when successfully soaring through the subtractive synthesis sound barrier while singlehandedly setting a new standard for what a hardware synthesizer should be. Hot on its heels comes a ‘special edition’ that is very special indeed. MiniBrute SE shares the same physical footprint as the original MiniBrute, but builds upon this amazingly compact and bijou analogue monosynth in both looks and features.

Although a sturdy and stylish brushed aluminium casing with wooden sides surely make MiniBrute SE stand out from the analogue crowd, skin-deep good looks are not the be and end all here, however, as added functionality runs deeper still. An all-new step SEQUENCER elegantly expands playing options with the MiniBrute SE — six Pattern sequences with up to 64 steps each to create multiple musical phrases, to be precise. Yet it is capable of so much more than simply replaying pre- programmed Pattern sequences ad infinitum. Users can create new musical phrases from existing ones by changing the playback Mode, Gate Len (timing), and Swing settings in realtime from the clearly labelled front panel — perfect for inspiring new musical ideas and creating exciting live performances on the fly.

MiniBrute SE is proof positive that the original MiniBrute was no fly-by-night success story. A pure analogue signal path and attractive features like a multi-wave OSCILLATOR and Sub Osc combined with a huge-sounding Steiner-Parker multimode FILTER (fittingly revised by Nyle Steiner himself) and wide-ranging modulation capabilities confirm that MiniBrute SE continues to innovate while breathing new life into recordings and stage performances. Add fantastic features like Ultrasaw (generating shimmering sawtooth waveforms), Metalizer (adding extreme triangle waveform-induced harmonics), LFO (with sample and hold), and full USB/MIDI/CV connectivity into the musical mix, and what have you got? A killer-sounding, step sequencing-capable synth with looks to die for, that’s what!

Designed for the analogue purist with a creative spirit in mind, MiniBrute SE successfully squeezes an amazing amount of creative options into its eye-catching, exceptionally portable design. The truly hands-on artistic appeal of subtractive synthesis and supreme step sequencing are alive and kicking here — harder than ever! Indeed, it’s all about analogue goodness — all gain and no pain!

So stand out from the analogue crowd and make that silver dream a reality real quick with MiniBrute SE. No need for a reality check!

MiniBrute SE will be available to purchase at the end of May from the Arturia online store (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy/online-shop.html)
or any authorised dealer for €549.00 EUR/$599.00 USD."
