Lemondance - eclo.re player | FR3SK77 - eclo.re player


video upload by BLINKSONIC°

"eclo.re player series - LEMONDANCE interactive EP embedded inside Reaktor 6 ensemble.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is here ! I am delighted to announce that 2 new releases have been just added to the eclo.re player collection.
This concept is around the idea of EPs encapsulated in app/patch more precisely a Reaktor 6 ensemble, with the synchronized input of a visual feedback, and the possibility to remix them in real time with various DSP effects.
After a deep revival trip in my own electronica IDM archive for the first batch - the « player series vol.01 » (released July 24), here the music shade is one of contrast with these two new audio objects which bring out 2 thematics :

LEMONDANCE_ep a funky electro pop sound delirium based on vintage synth colors and a cocktail of rumbling bass, all coated with a good helping of acid and second degree.

FR3SK77, kind of organic dreamtronica plunderphonic album, a cryptic tale at the crossroad of lullabies for kids and a soundtrack for insect life’s documentaries.

For those who haven't heard of the concept yet, here are 2 videos that demonstrate some aspects of those little « in the box » interactive AV shows.

I'm very excited to get your reactions, because from this rather minimalist concept, in the prism of a tool, I discovered radical ways to arrange a recording and generate textures or beats from it. The trip sometimes turns out to be as fun as a video game if you let yourself get caught up in it.

Note that the original player has been improved on these 2 new players, with the addition of functions such as a granular freeze effect that can be launched randomly by an internal modulation, but also and above all with the possibility of setting 6 "marker" points on the timeline of the song, this allowing you to navigate instantly and play parts on the fly.

Streaming is free on the site, and a packages are available for purchase, containing the original recordings, stems in high quality (.WAV & .MP3) and the interactive player compatible with REAKTOR 6 (.ens).

Electronica session w/ Moog One, Prophet-10, Music Easel | Quietude 2025-01-26 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel.

On the Moog One, I play the bass with my left hand, while the Prophet-10 handles the chords. Over the gentle harmonies, the Music Easel’s sequencer phrases and the sound of a djembe overlap. The Music Easel is synced with the DAW, intertwining phrases from a 5-step sequencer and the 218e arpeggiator.

The djembe is played with both hands and sticks, and I use a RODE NT-1 for recording.

In the DAW, I add chorus and synth sounds using Omnisphere and ‪@NativeInstruments‬ Kontakt."

MPC 3 update demo: Nova interface arranger e plugins Native Instruments


video upload by Marcus Padrini

"Pequena amostra dos novos sons dos plugins Native Instruments para os MPCs da Akai e da nova interface arranger.

Toda a linha de MPCs da Akai, a partir do MPC One, recebeu a atualização de software MPC 3, trazendo nova interface e recursos. Na minha opinião, a atualização deixa melhor o que já era ótimo! Principalmente, por conta da nova compatibilidade com plugins da Native Instruments e da nova interface Arranger, que permite trabalhar com áudio e midi de forma linear, da maneira como fazemos nos DAWs."

Googlish: "A small sample of the new sounds from Native Instruments plugins for Akai MPCs and the new arranger interface.

Akai's entire MPC line, starting with the MPC One, has received the MPC 3 software update, bringing a new interface and features. In my opinion, the update makes what was already great even better! Mainly because of the new compatibility with Native Instruments plugins and the new Arranger interface, which allows you to work with audio and MIDI in a linear way, the way we do in DAWs."

NAMM 2025: Native Instruments Akai Partnership


video upload by sonicstate

"At this year's NAMM, Native Instruments made waves with their collaboration with Akai*, creating a seamless way for you to access NI sounds on MPC devices. We caught up with *Simon from Native Instruments who detailed this initiative. This partnership debuted with the release of five Play Series instruments and five expansions compatible with MPC, making NI's renowned sounds more accessible. Simon further explained that the integration process is straightforward--you purchase Native Instruments content online and activate it with a serial number on the MPC.

Additionally, Simon introduced the Tools and Leap SDKs for *Kontakt 8*, allowing developers to build compositional assistance tools in the same way you would build instruments. The conversation also delved into the broader adoption of NKS integration, expanding to devices from Akai, M-Audio, Nektar, Novation, and Korg. By mapping MIDI CC parameters, existing hardware can now utilize the vast NKS ecosystem, with further integrations planned, paving the way for deeper collaboration in the future."
