The Akai ADR15 (MPC60) - Synth History with Mike McRoberts

The following is a fascinating bit of synth history that I was never aware of. The famed Akai MPC-60 was internally and originally named the ADR15.  That's the prototype pictured to the left and directly below. The sole US Project Manager for Akai at the time was Mike McRoberts pictured in the third shot below.  You'll find an interview with him on his time at Akai and the MPC60 at BBOY Tech Report here. Definitely check it out.

Regarding how it became the MPC60, from that interview: "'It was originally named the ADR15, along with the sequencer-only version named the ASQ10. One day, Jerry Freed, who was president of International Music Company, called me into his office and asked me what ADR15 stood for. I said that the ADR could stand for Akai Drum Recorder, but the number 15 had no relationship to it. Jerry said, 'Let’s brainstorm. What is this machine?' I said, 'Well it’s basically a MIDI production center, it’s got a 60,000 note sequencer….'. Jerry interrupted me and said, 'How about MPC60?' I think I said, 'Sounds good to me.' And that was the origin of it"

I asked Mike McRoberts what happened to the prototype and he had the following to say:

"Around 1989-90, Akai had decided to discontinue the MPC60, despite the fact it was a huge success in the US. It wasn't selling well in the rest of the world. We convinced them to keep it in the line, but for about 6 months there was no supply. I had decided I wanted to do sequencing in a Mac. I called a friend who was a keyboard tech for various artists, and told him I was thinking of selling it. Twenty minutes later it was sold.

There were two differences between the ADR15 and the MPC60 other than the name. The LCD display was fixed, not in a tilting enclosure. And the arm rest was foam rubber, not the nicer leather-like arm rest the MPC had."

It's interesting to think that the MPC60 like Roland's TB-303 were not deemed enough of a commercial success at the time to continue production.

Below are a few images in via Mike McRoberts, including a few advert scans.  The 2nd image below is him with Michael Jackson's band for the Bad tour who did Akai clinics during the tour. In order from left to right: Ricky Lawson (drums), Mike McRoberts (Akai), Greg Phillinganes (keyboards), and Rory Kaplan (keyboards).

Verbos Electronics - Buchla Inspired Eurorack Modules

Verbos Electronics from Cora Foxx on Vimeo.

For those that have been following MATRIXSYNTH over the years, you should be more than familiar with Mark Verbos' Buchla modules; there is currently 91 posts including this one on the Verbos channel.   This is big news in the eurorack world.

"AMPLITUDE & TONE CONTROLLER

The Amplitude & Tone controller is a totally discrete VCA with simultaneous exponential and linear CV input. It also contains an all discrete, Vactrol based VCF with diode limited resonance. It also has a discrete input gain stage. Careful balancing of the input gain and resonance control sets the mix of self oscillation and input signal, distorted on the VCA input if desired.

There are no ICs in the signal path.

Arturia ups ultimate sound collection ante with Analog Lab 1.1

"“We have been using Arturia’s instruments for quite a while now, and Analog Lab is an excellent addition to our work. It is very effective — especially in combination with the original soft synths.”

- Dr. Richard, 2014 (Kruder & Dorfmeister)


GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to announce availability of Analog Lab 1.1 — a new and improved version of its ultimate sound collection software suite — as of January 17...

With the release of version 1.1, Arturia’s already attractive Analog Lab has just got a whole lot better with numerous new features and improvements adding value to an already valuable and desirable software synthesizer solution that boasts a huge library of over 5,000 presets by internationally-renowned sound designers. These presets are taken from all eight of Arturia’s acclaimed TAE® (True Analog Emulation) synthesis-powered Mini V, Modular V, CS-80V, ARP2600 V, Jupiter-8V, Prophet 5, Prophet VS, and Oberheim SEM V soft synths, as well as the Wurlitzer V software recreation of the classic Wurlitzer 200A electric piano, providing the immediacy of a hardware instrument with the flexibility of a software-based solution.

So what’s new and improved in Analog Lab 1.1, then? Enhanced communication with Arturia’s acclaimed KeyLab keyboard controllers for starters: presets and categories are displayed on the LCD; sound, multi, and snapshot buttons are all updatable; knobs no longer jump between values; and ghost sliders can now be shown (to indicate position of hardware controllers with pickup). Beyond that, Live map programs are accessible through MIDI program change and VST preset list; Live map management includes import, export, and delete functions; AAX plug-ins are fully integrated; random sounds can be loaded into Multi patches; and there are also new sound mode filters available: User, Favorite, and Reset.

Other notable and useful improvements include adjusted and renamed preset library levels; loading message displayed when loading presets; no notes left hanging when changing split point, transposition, or chords; full plug-ins are always enabled for editing (without having to do this in preferences); and more besides.

As always, several onscreen navigational modes make musical life aboard Analog Lab 1.1 as easy as ever. Eye candy comes courtesy of the graphic Studio mode with realistic renderings of all those classic synthesizers and keyboards already modelled so realistically by that TAE® technology. Wish you were there in that virtual studio? Well, now you can be! Better still, Sound mode allows you to speedily find the sound you want from those thousands at your fingertips, with data filtering to narrow searches, and an updated browser to rate them to your liking and arrange things as you like it. Like it? We’re sure you will! Moreover, Multi mode allows several sounds to be played simultaneously with the addition of effects, layer/split functions, and with 205 Multi patches conveniently organised by musical genre, inspiration and creativity are a given — perfect for getting the most out of those TAE® soft synths without having to delve deeper into sound design. Owners of any of Arturia’s above-mentioned Analog Classics can, of course, delve as deep as they like and are free to fully edit sounds without having to leave the user-friendly Analog Lab environment. Lastly, Live mode lets you drag and drop sounds and Multis to create a selection of presets for instant recall from connected KeyLab keyboard controllers... clever, convenient, and cutting edge.

Into the bargain, Analog Lab 1.1’s exceptionally competitive price remains right at €89.00 EUR/$89.00 USD. What’s more, it’s included for free with all three models in Arturia’s acclaimed KeyLab keyboard controller range!

Really there’s never been a better time than now to dive headlong into thousands of ready-made, tweak-able TAE® synthesis-powered sounds than with Analog Lab 1.1. Never have the historic hardware synths of your dreams sounded so good in software or been so easily accessible. A no-brainer? Absolument!


Analog Lab 1.1 is available for purchase and direct download from the Arturia online store (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy/online-shop.html) for €89.00 EUR/$89.00 USD.

Pittsburgh Modular Unleashes a Fire Breathing Dragon & More

The details on Pittsburgh Modular's new systems including their "Fire Breathing Dragon" are in!

Pittsburgh will be showcasing the following three new systems at this year's NAMM show, Booth 1675:

"Foundation 3 - The next generation of a classic. A standalone, fully modular synthesizer styled after the great monosynths of the past"

"System 10 - This system offers direct access to a wide array of classic analog monosynth sounds. Without a single patch cable, deep bass and warm sweeping leads are just a few knob tweaks away."

"System 90 - A perfect balance of digital depth and analog warmth, the System 90 creates a cutting edge playground for endless experimentation."

The following are some hi-res pics and details on each system. Click each for the full resolution.
