Published on Dec 20, 2019 Kraft Music

"Find exclusive Moog BUNDLES at Kraft Music:
https://www.kraftmusic.com/brands/moo...

The long days of summer are behind us as we face the harsh cold winter ahead. Luckily, we have the Moog Matriarch around to comfort us with her warm analog sound. Kraft Music's very own Adam Berzowski harnesses the power of four voices on the Moog Matriarch!

The Moog Matriarch is a patchable 4-note paraphonic analog synthesizer with a built-in sequencer, arpeggiator, stereo ladder filters, and stereo analog delay. Based on the vintage circuitry of classic Moog synthesizer modules, the Matriarch can create rich harmonic shapes with its four notes of paraphony or massive, 4-oscillator monosynth textures by stacking the VCOs. With 90 modular patch points, the Matriarch is also an ideal processor of external sound sources and a powerful keyboard frontend for expanding eurorack modular systems and other Moog semi-modular synths.

Looking for a bundle? Please contact us for a great deal on a custom Moog Matriarch package. Our knowledgeable Sales Advisors are happy to assist with finding the solution that's right for you!"

Behringer Crave Synth with OBNE Minim Delay/Reverb

Published on Dec 20, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Here are a few quick sounds with the Behringer Crave synth through the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Minim delay and reverb pedal. The Crave is a single oscillator semi-modular synth with a built in sequencer. The Crave oscillator is 3340 chip based design and the filter is a steep cutoff 24db/octave Moog style filter.

Sampling Vintage Rhythm Machines [INCLUDES FREE SAMPLES]

Published on Sep 12, 2019 Alex Ball

"I love the sound of old analogue rhythm machines, but I always wanted to be able to program them like my drum machines. Without the knowledge or skill to modify them, I thought that maybe multi-sampling them would give me what I was after.

I’m over the moon with the results and I think that the Kontakt multi versions sound awesome. Hopefully you’ll have fun with them too!

Download: http://bit.ly/RhythmMachines

Bit of background: Although the earlier rhythm machines were intended to accompany lone musicians (mainly organists) and were controlled with start/stop footswitches, they do crop up in a few records.

The “Cha-Cha” preset from the TR-77 appears in Ultravox’s “Hiroshima Mon Amour” and it’s apparently the (rather processed) rhythm machine heard at the start of Squeeze’s “Take me I’m yours”. The seemingly popular “Cha-Cha” also appears at the start of Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film” albeit at a different pitch (perhaps done with tape speed).

The earlier version of the Rhythm 55B (the Rhythm 55) was also the very unit used by Joe Jackson on “Steppin’ Out”. In fact, he’s recently been bringing it out on tour with him: [below]

The Korg is a bit of a hanger on being released in 1982 given that 808s, LinnDrums and DMXs were out by then. The Roland CR-5000 and CR-8000 also snuck into the 80s, but they were really at the end of this kind of instrument that had its heyday in the late 60s and 70s.

Instruments used in this video:
Roland Rhythm 77 / TR-77 (1972)
Korg Rhythm 55B / KR-55B (1982)
Roland SH-1000 (1973)
Korg MS-20 (1978)
ARP Odyssey model 2813 (1975)
Roland Juno-6 (1982)"

Novation // SL MkIII 1.2 Update - Spencer Zahn & Jacob Bergson: 'Cyanotype' live

Published on Dec 20, 2019 NovationTV

"Jacob Bergson and Spencer Zahn perform Spencer's 'Cyanotype' live, in-studio, in London. By using two Novation SL MkIII’s, a Novation Bass Station II, Moog Sub37, Eurorack modular synthesizer, Ableton Live, and upright bass, Zahn and Bergson are able to play, modulate, and sequence all elements of the song live.

You can now download the latest firmware update for the SL MkIII straight from Novation Components - we've added some of your most asked-for new features and workflow enhancements, making our flagship controller keyboard for Ableton Live (and other DAWs) more powerful and versatile than ever. SL MkIII 1.2 also squashes a few bugs and improves general stability.

Update details:

"The latest firmware for the SL MkIII rewards users’ patience (thank you for bearing with us) with the addition of your most asked-for new features and workflow enhancements, making our flagship controller keyboard for Ableton Live (and other DAWs) more powerful and versatile than ever. SL MkIII 1.2 also, of course, squashes a few bugs and improves general stability.

We’re already accepting feature requests on the next update, too, so if you have an idea for a useful SL MkIII function, let us know via our Synth Owners group on Facebook.

Microstep editing

The Sequencer resolution has been increased to incorporate 6 microsteps per step, enabling notes to be positioned off the grid for the programming of subtle timing variations, fast triplet runs, glitchy repeats and more.

Step View pattern scrolling

The Up and Down buttons can now be used to scroll through all your loaded sequencer patterns for viewing and editing, without deselecting the pattern currently playing. This is of particular benefit to live performers, who can make changes to upcoming patterns on the fly – whether they’re in a chain or running individually – before they’re actually played.

Assignable Aftertouch

Giving your SL MkIII performances an expressive boost, Aftertouch has been made assignable to any MIDI CC you like within Components. Now you can use key pressure to control anything in your DAW or synth capable of receiving MIDI, from opening a filter or modulating oscillator pulse width, to increasing the depth of a distortion effect or detuning a unison stack.

More responsive knobs

We’ve increased the responsiveness of the SL MkIII’s rotary encoders for deeper, smoother adjustment of parameters over a shorter rotational distance, with no audible stepping.

Increased Gate length

With the maximum step length doubled to 32, you can record and sequence longer MIDI notes within patterns, for more complex and expressive tracks.

Enhanced NRPN Control

As well as outputting the full range of MIDI CCs, The SL MkIII 1.2 now also communicates with all NRPN-enabled devices. Not only does this greatly expand its hardware control remit, it also lets you manipulate viable parameters at higher resolution than standard MIDI allows.

And that’s not all, of course! SL MkIII 1.2 introduces plenty more workflow fixes and improvements – fire up Components to see the full list of additions and changes, and download the update."
