via Boele of SCD:
"I am betatesting the new MPC5000, which has a VA synth on board. And a quite good sounding one as well. Did a demosong for it.
SynthSCD.mp3
It has a three voice synth on board with all kinds of filters (some
*very* good sounding ones!), two ADSR's, 2 LFO's, sync, crossmodulation, ringmodulation, noise, etc.
The VCOs have sine, sawtri (really from saw to triangle wave), Pulse, White Noise, Pink Noise, Red Noise and PWM)
Filters: Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, BandStop, BandBoost, Model 1, Model 2, Model 3, Vocal 1, Vocal 2 and Vocal 3. Most filters with choosable 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles!
Envelopes are snappy. There is a stereo spread that positions the indivual position of each VCO in the stereofield.
There is great arpeggiator as well, plus you can route the synth through the build in effects (to many to mention, and very nice ones in there as well).
The synth is *completely* controlable with the so called Q link
controllers: 12 buttons, 8 knobs and 4 sliders. The user interface is very cool.
The song is pure MPC, only the drums are samples (also from the MPC).
Regards, Boele"

ReplyDeleteYep. No worky for me either.
ReplyDeleteYep. I sent Boele an email.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone like this MPC? I loved my 2000xl back in the day, but lately they dont really seem innovative. Perhaps its just me . . . .
ReplyDeleteSeems like this is the working link:

That would be it. Link updated in the post as well.
ReplyDeleteSomeone's a Tangerine Dream fan then ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks as though the MPC5k definitely incorporates the Fusion's technology too - the specification of the VA is almost identical to that of the Fusion, except that (hurrah!) it seems to have gathered a couple more filter models along the way (ported across from the Ion?) and the polyphony has been nailed down.
On the upside, at least the technology hasn't gone to waste. On the downside, I guess we won't see another synth from Alesis for a while - if ever.
Wow, if it has the Fusion/Ion synth, that's great.
