Tracktion BioTek - New Organic Virtual Instrument from Wolframe Franke & Taiho Yamada



"This is a selection of demos from the new Tracktion BioTek virtual synthesizer. Each cue was performed live using a single BioTek patch in order to demonstrate the playability and expressiveness of the instrument. Wolfram Franke's powerful synth engine completely transforms sound between nature and technology via the central XY controller. It was an honor and pleasure to direct sound development for this project, and to contribute what I consider to be some of my best sound design work to date.

Special thanks to the entire BioTek sound design team, including Wolfram, Mike Wall, Sendy, justin3am, and Randy Lee. Check out electronic music from Wolfram Franke, Sendy and justin3am here on SoundCloud:

Wolframe Franke was previously with Waldorf. He was the developer behind Largo, PPG Wave 2.V & 3.V, Attack and Steinberg's V1. He also created Stroke Machine for the iPad.

Taiho Yamada was the Project Manager and Head of Sound Design at Alesis. He worked on the QuadraSynth, QS series, A6 Andromeda, Ion, Micron, and the Fusion HD workstations. He was also the man behind the M-Audio Venom.

Anyone know who the girl with the whisky bottle is? [Update: it's Kristina Childs who designed the UI for BioTek. Thanks to Lima in the comments for the info and Anonymous for the link!]

You'll find more info on Tracktion's BioTek on their website here. They also have a Micro Synth Pack.

  2. Lume, I'm not seeing it on their site. Do you know which page references her? I would expect to see her on The BioTek Design Team page with the image, but I'm only seeing Wolframe and Taiho referenced.

    1. Go to kristinachilds.com, select photos, then Fall 2014, click right twice. Look familiar?

    2. Thanks! Still curious where it's mentioned on the Traktion site, more for myself because I can't find it. That, and only seeing Wolframe and Taiho mentioned on the page with the image of the three. Wondering if my brain is filtering something out or my browser.
