Kai Niggemann wrote in to let us know he has a new release on Bandcamp, titled Heart Murmur. You can find the embed above. There is a 10" vinyl version that comes with a little Buchla 200e papercraft pictured below. For MATRIXSYNTH readers, Kai is also offering the papercraft for free, or rather just the cost of shipping. If you'd like one you can PayPal Kai 4 EUR at bae@kainiggemann.com, or email him directly if you have any questions. The design of the papercraft card and the entire sleeve of the record was made by superdefault, a graphics design freelancer with many references in the international music scene from Berlin.
Deluxe package 10" vinyl of Kai Niggemann's vinyl debut. Recorded live in Berlin on a Buchla 200e Electric Music Box, meticulously mastered by Rashad Becker (Dubplates & Mastering) and pressed to vinyl in the highest possible quality, this album comes in a special package with an abundance of neat stickers and cards related to the artist and his instrument
Includes unlimited streaming of Heart Murmur via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Kai Niggemann’s solo debut, an all original album of outrageous poetically abstract music created live and without overdubs on a Buchla 200e Electric Music Box, one of the rarest and most sought after electronic music instruments.
Working on the platform since 2013, Kai Niggemann has become one of Germany’s leading artists who perform live with a Buchla 200e. His style is an electro-acoustic storytelling, a clubby dreamscape and a poetically-abstract kraut-infused energetic mix of new Elektronische Musik with contemporary club culture.
Nerds love the technology and clubbers love the throbbing drive of the basslines. It’s all improvised and recorded live in Berlin — yet it sounds meticulously crafted in a dark basement studio throughout the entire last winters.
Kai is a member of the 30-piece kraut-noise-jazz collective “The Dorf” and the electronics duo “The Last Books” (with Achim Zepezauer), performs and records with Mia Zabelka (Vienna) as “Redshift Orchestra”, cofounded the internet-computermusic “European Bridges Ensemble” (EBE, e-b-e.eu) and the electroacoustic duo “Resonator”.
His most recent releases were the CD/vinyl “Lux” (feat. the noise drone artist N), “EviL/EvyL” and the cassette “Made in Österreich” with The Dorf (feat. Caspar Brötzmann & FM Einheit (Ex-Einstürzende Neubauten) or “Thinking Light” by Redshift Orchestra (duo with Mia Zabelka).
He performed concerts with Mia Zabelka (Wien), Yoshio Machida (JP), Trap & Zoid (BE), Stian Westerhus or Shahzad Ismaily (with The Dorf) among many others.
Besides the Buchla he often uses other sources for his sounds and musics, such as fieldrecordings, a noise choir, DIY-soundmakers and acoustic instruments. He is artistic co-director of the theater company “PARADEISER productions” (with director Ruth Schultz), performs solo and with partners, teaches courses in Sounddesign at the Academy for Fine Arts in Münster, Germany as well as music-electronic workshops (“soldering under supervision”) together with sound artist Stan Pete.

"Ambika is a combination or collaboration between hardware & software tech.
The Lushest sounds for Minilogue combined with deepest fx of Supermassive wonderful free of charge effect by Valhalla DSP. We love Korg with all our heart as well as Valhalla DSP Virtual Fx. We used a lot Valhalla effects in our past presentations & answered countless messages – what kind of vst fx you are using to process hardware? We are thinking that Supermassive is the best one for any hardware synth & its totally free one, thanks to Valhalla. Minilogue really lucks lushness in tone – a good chorus effect & deep reverb for cosmic pads & soundscapes. Inside of Supermassive you will find silk choruses, ensembles & deepest reverbs (period) And this duo work really great together – giving you incredible lush & deep sounds for your Original Minilogue Synthesizer We made 18 Presets for you with our own settings of Supermassive Fx. And combined them with our best presets for Minilogue via DAW – Cubase, Logic, Ableton or any other one which supports VSTi format. And we made Ambika – with 85 sounds you need for production of Ambient, Soundtrack, Electronica & Dance Music with integration in every modern genre."
"Hello,
just a little demonstration to controll the Roland Boutique (Ju-06,JP08) synthesizer over midi/Sysex with Ipad and the app 'TB midi stuff'
Every fader movement or button pushing can be recorded in your DAW. It works very fine.
The JU-06 template for the app you can download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1ut...
The sounds are nothing special just to demonstrate the functionality
JU-06 : Preset with the Sequencer
JP-08 : Preset and i recorded (midi) a chord in my Daw and looped it.
The app Tb midi stuff is not a expensive one and i can really recommend it.
It is possible with the software to convert the sysex in midi cc 'IraVirus' has realise that in his JP-08 template.
I hope that would help some people who are interested in this kind of stuff ;)
Best regards, Creamtronic"

There has been some discussion on AH on the Alesis ION filter types. It's interesting that they are not listed in detail on the Alesis site. I thought I'd put up a post with the list so far. Title link takes you to a Sound on Sound review of the ION where the majority of the below came from. However, some new filters also listed below, were added since the SOS reveiw. Here's a link to the details on the OS updates to date.
'mg': a four-pole low-pass modelled on that of the most famous monophonic analogue synth ever made. 'ob': a two-pole low-pass closely resembling the one in a classic synth xpander... whoops, I mean expander module. 'ob': a two-pole band-pass. 'ob': a two-pole high-pass. 'rp': a four-pole low-pass modelled on the one in a popular semi-modular synth. 'tb': a three-pole low-pass (think 'little silver bass synth'). 'jp': a four-pole low-pass (from an eight-voice synth noted for its coloured buttons amongst other things); 'Eight-pole low-pass': all the filters from here on were created for the Ion; this one gives a very steep cutoff. '8ve dual band-pass': two two-pole band-pass filters spaced one octave apart. 'six-pole band-pass': like an exaggerated version of the 'ob' band-pass. 'phase warp': an analogue phaser effect based on eight all-pass filters in series. 'comb filter 1': multiple resonant peaks and notches which are not harmonically related. 'comb filter 2': as above, but the signal is additionally filtered to warm up the sound. 'vocal formant 1': three band-pass filters emulating 'ah' and 'oo' vowel sounds. 'vocal formant 2': as above, but 'oh' and 'ee' vowel sounds. 'vocal formant 3': a five-band formant filter. 'band limit': a two-pole high-pass filter and a two-pole low-pass filter in series, limiting the signal to everything between them; resonance adjusts bandwidth.
New Types: 'OP 4-Pole Highpass - This filter is based on our "MG" 4-pole lowpass filter model. It has a steeper cut-off and more extreme resonance than the "OB" highpass. Like the "MG", it will self-oscillate when the resonance is turned all the way up. It can thus be used as a fourth (or fifth) oscillator. 'Comb 3 - Based on a different design than Comb's 1 and 2, it has deeper notches and more pronounced resonance. 'Comb 4 - Similar to Comb3, but with negative feedback. This will oscillate and even clip when the resonance is turned up.
Hiromichi Oohashi wrote in to let us know about his new synth book featuring rare and somewhat strange synthesizers from Japan.

"Synclavier Digital re-engineers original knob from Synclavier® II as standalone Synclavier KNOB for iconic instrument iOS apps
NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: Synclavier Digital is proud to announce availability of the standalone Synclavier KNOB — a re- engineered re-creation of the original knob central to the seminal Synclavier® II Digital Synthesizer’s speedy control surface, specially commissioned by co-inventor Cameron Jones as a USB device designed to perfectly compliment the newly- created Canadian corporation’s creation of a next-generation Synclavier, recently released as awe-inspiring Synclavier Go! and Synclavier Pocket! iOS apps fit for today’s owners of Apple’s inescapable iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch platforms, putting all the famed FM (Frequency Modulation) and Additive (harmonic) synthesis capabilities of the iconic instrument as well as its intuitive panels of easy-to-touch red backlit buttons in anyone’s hands (and pockets) at an affordable fraction of the trailblazing original’s prohibitive pricing — as of April 24…
"I know this demo is long, maybe much too long. It was difficult to decide, what I can erase. Finally I decided to make a long demo and give a small schedule, so you can choose, what kind of sounds you are interested in.
The Roland Jupiter-4 is a very strong, agressive, massive, but also sweet sounding synth. The sound is really incredible for only one VCO with one Sub-VCO. In this this Demo you will listen to this wide range of sounds.
The Roland JP-4 came out 1978, mine is from Nov. 1979 with the later filter board.
The great features of the JP-4 are:
- extremely fast envelopes
- ultra fast LFO and also slow LFO to get FM sounds and very slow filter sweeps as well
- fantastic sounding filter with ultra fat and sweet self resonance
- stereo chorus, not so strong like in the Juno 6/60, but very musical
- nice arpeggiator with triggering by a sequencer or drum machine
- random S/H filter modulation
- fantastic versatile bender board
- you can trim the 4 voices and slightly detune them on the back of the unit to achieve a really fat sound
- polyphonic portamento
Here is a schedule for getting quick access to the different parts in this video:
0:00 Part 1. Lovely Pads with resonance
3:20 Part 2. Arpeggio fun with different sounds
12:13 Part 3. Aggressive bass sounds
15:25 Part 4. Weird and angry fx sounds
23:17 Part 5. Strings and Pads
33:52 Part 6. Sweet melodies
41:11 Part 7. Orchestral string sounds
45:55 Part 8. Portamento and modulations
I used as FX a GFI Clockwork Delay Pedal, nothing else. There is no additional mastering or equalizing. I think the JP-4 sounds very dry, so a bit delay or reverb is necessary.
Thanks for watching this ultra long video. I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers."
"Tonight I set up 6 synthesizers I own with that Epic Trance style Supersaw sound. When I was making the video I realized that I paid just over $15000 USD in total for these synthesizers! Now that's a Super Expensive Supersaw!
I've set some limits on myself sound design wise so that you can hear what each synth sounds like at a base level when it comes to Supersaws. This way you can perhaps hear some differences on a level playing field not colored by built-in effects or more that the original 7 sawtooth waves in the original JP-8000.
I demo each synth quickly, then I play 4 of the 6 to give a taste minus the Moog One and the Roland Cloud System 8, then for the big one I play all 6 synthesizers at once for that $15000 Supersaw!
Synths used for this video are:
Roland JP-8000
Roland V-Synth GT
RolandCloud System 8
Waldorf Kyra
Access Virus TI2
Moog One
Let me know what you think of the $15,000 Supersaw!"
Welcome to Roland Boutique Published on Oct 1, 2015
"Three legendary Roland synths, now available as affordable, limited-edition sound modules. Recreating the sound and user interface of the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106 and JX-3P respectively, each module is packed with hands-on controls for deep editing, while battery operation and built-in speaker lets you make music on the move. Whether connected to the optional keyboard dock, hooked up to a keyboard or used with your DAW setup, the Roland Boutique series adds some classics to your library."
"Roland Boutique Series Announced
Historic Roland synths reborn in limited-edition Compact Sound Modules
Los Angeles, CA, October 1, 2015 — The Roland Boutique series is a new, limited-edition line of compact sound modules that recreate renowned analog synthesizers from the company’s historic past. Powered by Roland’s Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, the series includes three modules based on the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106 and JX-3P instruments from the 1980s. Armed with a full complement of hands-on controls derived from the original synths, each sound module can be used as a tabletop MIDI device or mounted in the companion K-25m Keyboard Unit to create a standalone compact synth.
The Roland Boutique series faithfully captures the legendary sound and response of classic Roland analog synths for modern electronic musicians. Using the proprietary ACB modeling that was first developed for instruments in the AIRA line such as the TR-8 and SYSTEM-1, the essence of the original instruments is recreated in every detail, right down to the analog component level.
Each Roland Boutique module is no bigger than a book and can run on USB bus power or batteries, providing grab-and-go versatility for computer music production and live playing. The modules also include built-in speakers, a convenient feature for monitoring the sound in mobile environments.
With the JP-08, the legendary JUPITER-8 synth is back in a compact and powerful package. Featuring 36 knobs and sliders from the original JUPITER-8 front panel, the four-voice JP-08 is highly programmable and encourages sonic experimentation. The JP-08 faithfully reproduces the original JUPITER-8 sounds and adds a few new twists in the form of extra LFOs and expanded VCO range.
Often described as one of the last great synths of the analog era, the JUNO-106 became a favorite thanks to its warm sounds and instant sound-shaping ability. The four-voice JU-06 module continues this approach, with 23 parameters controllable via the front panel and classic JUNO sound, complete with the original’s signature chorus effect. New enhancements include a faster LFO and continuously variable high-pass filter.
The JX-03 module continues the legacy of the dual-oscillator JX-3P synth. While the original featured a button-driven interface for immediate access to preset sounds, it was highly programmable when paired with the optional PG-200 controller. The four-voice JX-03 inherits all 24 knobs from the PG-200, plus the distinctive JX-3P tonal character. Added extras not present in the original synth include new waveforms, expanded DCO range, and cross-modulation options.
In addition to their unique ACB sound engines and model-specific controls, each Roland Boutique module is equipped with dual ribbon controllers and a built-in step sequencer. With their USB and MIDI I/O connectors, the modules can easily integrate with studio setups and other MIDI keyboards. Each module also features a chain mode that allows the user to connect two or more modules of the same type to increase the available polyphony as needed.
With the optional K-25m Keyboard Unit, users have the ability to turn a Roland Boutique module into a compact, all-in-one synth with 25 velocity-sensitive keys. Each module mounts in the K-25m quickly and easily, and can be interchanged with another in no time. Once in the K-25m, the module can be mounted flat or angled in two different positions for easier access to the panel controls.

❤️, ae
My conclusions after one week of tweaking the Roland JX-08:
Underestimated because of their size - and for a good reason - anyone who has been open minded enough to the Boutique concept (not me at that time!), soon after they put their hands on such a replica, discover that Roland Boutique sounds huge!
I had my doubts and I even have laughed when the first Boutiques were released.
I tried all the synths formats for the last 20+ years, and let me tell you that small synths does not have a place in my operating theatre! All the time I tend to ignore them, and they're just decorating my studio.
Now I own most of the Boutiques and I'm looking to grow my collection (especially with the "collectible" ones!)!
The extended polyphony makes the difference!
Not saying about the two sequencer lines for both parts, the arpeggiator, 3 types of filter, plenty of nice effects and other extras!
"The Roland Boutique JP-08 arrives !! This jam uses the tracker based sequencer, Renoise. I've been ripping my studio apart left and right trying to find the best setup for me and Renoise. In this quickie I only use the Korg Volca Bass, Roland Boutique JU-06 and Roland Boutique JP-08. Renoise supplies the drum samples and all the sequencing. Renoise is slaved to Ableton via Rewire, Ableton handles the multi track recording. I kept most of the gear out because I wanted to focus on the Roland Boutique sounds. The Korg Volca Bass Supplies the bass. The Roland Boutique JU-06 takes on the lead synthesizer sequence and the Roland Boutique JP-08 handles the pad In this jam my max loop with Renoise is 128 steps. I plan on controlling the drum mutes in future jams but with this one I just laid everything like one big track and played live over it. After this jam I have a very good idea how my final setup will be with Renoise. Thank you for watching, please subscribe.

2015年11月にベルギーのゲント大学機関：IPEM(Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music)で、町田良夫とConstantin Papageorgiadis (BE)が大学所有のEMS SYNTHI 100を使ってレコーディングを行いました。この映像は、アウトボードを使わずSYNTHI 100のみで演奏したものです。ほとんど動かない状態だったこのSYNTHI 100をTrap & Zoid自ら数週間かけて修理し動くようにしました。
(ENG)
Yoshio Machida + Constantin Papageorgiadis had recording using SYNTHI 100 in November 2015 at IPEM(Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music), Gent University.
http://www.ipem.ugent.be/
Performed with only SYNTHI 100, without any outboards and effects. This SYNTHI 100 was also broken, but Trap & Zoid repaired and re-tuned."
Spotted this one on sequencer.de. Not sure where to get the CD though. Not finding it at the links above or on sequencer.de. However there is one for the SYNTHI AKS here.
The SYNTHI AKS is a legendary machine. Manufactured by Electronic Music Studios in 1971, this portable modular synthesizer was extremely flexible. Not a keyboard synth like what Moog was doing at the time, this was a generative music machine with a matrix patch panel. Think Max/MSP in analog terms. Except that being analog, it wasn't entirely stable and, thus, had an organic quality that is still valued today.
Music from the SYNTHI is a new endeavour for Yoshio Machida, a consistently surprising sound and visual artist who, among other feats, has released an acclaimed series of sound collage albums (Hypernatural), albums of improvisations on steelpan drums, and records with the bands miimo and Ohanami. This new solo album arrives almost four years after his previous one The Spirit of Beauty (a slow-evolving piece combining instruments, field recordings and electronics), and six years after his Baskaru debut Hypernatural #3.
Music from the SYNTHI consists in 13 pieces. Most of them are quirky and playful. "SYNTHI n° 30" has a longing quality you would never expect from a synthesizer. And all of them are 100% SYNTHI. "I simply recorded the repeating patterns and mixed 3 to 5 patterns per piece, without any editing or effects," explains Machida. I wanted to record rich obscure improvisations as performed by the SYNTHI. Every modulation, reverb, effect like delay, and glitch sound is produced inside the SYNTHI."
I was extremely honored to be invited to participate and contribute a song to MIDINIZE II, an album produced by Yuya Shirakami and Takashi Kawano featuring music made with consoles controlled by MIDI devices. You can find out more about the album on the official site, as well as the full roster of artists. When making my song, I decided to record video footage of the Moog part being played live which is what you're seeing here along with the on-cart visualizer of the MIDINES playing it's portion of the song which I recorded and pasted on top of the video inside a GIF of a CRT. Also big thanks to Vince Kai-chan for handling the Japanese translation of the intro text.
One thing I didn't know about the MIDINES cartridge prior to getting to use one, was how many random voice clips are in one of the DPCM Banks. I had a bit of fun with a few of those. Hope you enjoy, and go check out the full album: http://3cm.jp/midinize2 which will be available at Comiket on 12/31."
