NAMM: IK Multimedia announces iKlip Studio

"The studio desktop stand for iPad

iKlip Studio is an adjustable iPad desktop stand designed specifically for musicians. iKlip Studio holds the iPad firmly on studio desks or other surfaces when using a variety of music and other apps.

Apps like synthesizers, beat-pads and other controllers can be played energetically on the multi-touch screen with no risk of the device moving or sliding. Its flexible orientation allows it to tilt its position from a very low-profile angle – ideal for use with apps like mixers, controllers or synthesizers – to near-vertical positioning for use as a reader for scores or tablatures or to place the iPad behind music keyboard controllers.

iKlip Studio is made of lightweight, shock-resistant thermoplastic that is durable and solid to reliably support the iPad. Rubber foot-pads grip the desktop and prevent unwanted sliding. Its support tray also fits most cases for ultra-quick positioning of an iPad of any generation.

The device can be quickly rotated between its horizontal and vertical position to suit any app, and convenient openings in the housing allow accessibility to every port of the device for charging or connecting to external speakers with handy slots for keeping the cables neatly organized. A detachable bracket is also included to hold the iRig interface adapter in place and keep it from hanging from the iPad.

For maximum portability, iKlip Studio folds completely flat so it can be quickly inserted into any iPad bag and carried anywhere.

Like the other members of the iKlip family, iKlip Studio is designed and manufactured in Italy, and it’s the perfect add-on for every IK music creation app and accessory user.

Features:
Sturdy, durable, lightweight, shock-resistant thermoplastic construction holds your iPad securely without scratching or marring it
Rubber foot-pads grip the desktop and prevent unwanted sliding
Flexible orientation allows iKlip Studio to tilt its position from a very low-profile angle to near-vertical positioning
The device can be quickly rotated between its horizontal and vertical position
All controls, buttons, connectors and camera of the iOS device are accessible
Fast installation — can be mounted in seconds
Includes detachable iRig bracket for the AmpliTube range of apps or any other guitar effects app
Designed and manufactured in Italy

Melbourne Instruments is pleased to announce BITWIG STUDIO integration for Roto-Control is now available as a public beta. This adds to Roto-Control’s acclaimed Ableton Live integration, and now Bitwig Studio users can take full advantage of Roto-Control features with their Bitwig projects.

Powerful, compact, and portable, Roto-Control features three main modes of operation: MIX, PLUGIN and MIDI with Motion Recorder. MIX Mode will automatically sync Bitwig with all track names and colors instantly appearing on Roto-Control displays. Roto-Control will update track names and colors when connected to an active Bitwig session. No need to save or edit labels – all data is taken directly from the active Bitwig session.

In PLUGIN Mode, plugin parameters and labels are taken directly from Bitwig with one touch, one-time, intuitive easy setup. Learn plugin parameters once and Roto-Control will remember learnt parameters anytime you use Bitwig. All learnt plugin parameters are stored locally on Roto-Control, making it quick and easy to use with any computer setup. Roto-Control is a truly unique motorized MIDI controller that is highly customizable with internal storage for thousands of assignments.

Bitwig Studio users can streamline their creative workflow and quickly evolve ideas with responsive physical control of Bitwig Studio through Roto-Control’s MIX and PLUGIN Modes. This new integration is a collaboration between Bitwig and Melbourne Instruments, responding to the overwhelming demand for Roto-Control support for Bitwig Studio.

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii - Director's cut

YouTube Uploaded by erichc1992 on Dec 30, 2010
This one in via Phil. I haven't had a chance to watch this one through, but you'll find some EMS Synthi AKS at Abbey Road after the 13:00 minute mark. It initally comes with Roger Waters at 13:41 and again at 14:37.

"Directed by Adrian Maben
Produced by Steve O'Rourke, Michele Arnaud, Reiner Moritz
Starring Pink Floyd
Music by Pink Floyd
Cinematography Willy Kurant, Gabor Pogany
Editing by Jose Pinheiro
Distributed by Universal Home Video

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii is a 1972 film featuring Pink Floyd performing six songs in the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. It was directed by Adrian Maben and recorded in the month of October with 24 studio-quality tracks without a live audience.
The performances of "Echoes," "A Saucerful of Secrets," and "One of These Days" were filmed from October 4, 1971 to October 7, 1971. The remaining songs were filmed in a Paris studio, along with additional front projection footage for insertion into the Pompeii performances. The sequences in Paris were filmed in late 1971/early 1972, and can be distinguished by the absence of Richard Wright's beard. This version was released in cinemas in September 1972 and is also included on the DVD edition as an extra feature.
In August 1974, another version was released combining the original film with supposed recording sessions of The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. These sessions were actually staged for the film[citation needed], as the recording of the album had been completed when these sessions were filmed in January 1973 and the band was mixing the album at the time.

Track listing - 2003 Director's cut
02:13 1. "Echoes, Part 1"/"On the Run" (Studio Footage) (Uncredited) (from Meddle/The Dark Side of the Moon, 1971/1973)
19:54 2. "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" (B-side of "Point Me at the Sky" single, 1968)
27:59 3. "A Saucerful of Secrets" (from A Saucerful of Secrets, 1968)
4. "Us and Them" (Studio Footage) (from The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973)
44:51 5. "One of These Days I'm Going to Cut You into Little Pieces" (also known as "One of These Days", from Meddle, 1971)
55:59 6. "Mademoiselle Nobs" (from Meddle, 1971 previously known as "Seamus")
7. "Brain Damage" (Studio Footage) (from The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973)

Punchcard synths at the Seimens studio in 1967

video upload by Robotussin Vintage Synths

Click the CC in the player controls on the bottom right for subtitles.

"The electronic music studio of the Siemens company in Munich in 1967, one of the first private electronic music studios in the world. Programming electronic music back then was a complex process that involved punch cards and maths. On the plus side, there were lots of gorgeous dials to turn and Bakelite switches to play with.

The Seimens studio was set up in 1958 and used until 1968. The studio initially created “musique concrète” but later explored purely electronic works, with engineers building equipment specifically for this task. I’ve seen it said that vocoders – which were invented during World War II to encrypt voice messages – were first used in music production at this lab.

The first major work produced here was the soundtrack to a documentary called 'Impulse of our Time' ('Impuls Unserer Zeit') directed by Otto Martini. After this, the studio was rented out to radio stations for compositions and sound effects, and composers were also invited to use the equipment. Karlheinz Stockhausen was one prestigious guest who used the studio, but there were many others. But really, the studio was a showpiece for Siemens and a chance for them to test out new ideas and equipment

The studio was placed in storage and forgotten from around 1968 to 1992, when it was rediscovered. It is now permanently installed at the Deutsche Museum von Meisterwerken der Naturwissenschaft und Technik in Munich.

I took this from a 13 minute video that’s available in full on the YouTube channel freeartslab. I added the subtitles so they are not very accurate, but they give you an idea of what’s going on if you don’t speak German."

ALESIS UPGRADES DM10 STUDIO KIT WITH NEW RACK, SAME PRICE

"Six-Piece Drumset Gains Four-Post StageRack for 2011

Cumberland, R.I. (Jan. 13, 2011) – Alesis, a leading manufacturer of professional audio electronics and musical instruments, announces the 2011 edition of the DM10 Studio Kit. The new version features Alesis’ new four-post StageRack with upgraded clamps and high-quality mini-boom cymbal arms. Alesis will unveil the new DM10 Studio Kit at the 2011 NAMM Show, booth #6400, from January 13-16, Anaheim, CA.

The StageRack is the backbone of the DM10 Studio Kit. With its sturdy four-post design and industry standard, 1 1/2-inch tubing, the StageRack provides excellent stability under the most energetic performance. The StageRack's clamps, mounts and integrated boom cymbal arms are all fully adjustable with plenty of flexibility to securely fasten drums, cymbals and the DM10 module precisely where desired. Drummers will appreciate the StageRack’s large wing-screws on most clamps, enabling them to make quick adjustments without reaching for a drumkey or other tools. Large enough to accommodate additional drums and cymbals, the StageRack takes up a fraction of the space of an acoustic kit.

Drummers worldwide have taken notice of the DM10 Studio Kit. Its impressive combination of the DM10 high-definition sound module with Dynamic Articulation™, six RealHead drum pads and four DMPad cymbal pads delivers peerless value.

Drummers immediately notice the DM10 module’s outstanding sound quality. This drum sound module contains true drum, cymbal and percussion sounds built from real samples of classic studio drums and prized cymbals. Drummers will find some of the most in-demand acoustic drum sounds from legendary drum brands, a huge arsenal of top producers' go-to snare drums, real American, Canadian, Chinese, and Turkish cymbals, and electronic beat-machine sounds that have fueled the biggest hit records.

'In 2010, we introduced the barrier-shattering DM10 Studio Kit, ushering in a new class of drumset at its price,” said Dan Radin, Product Manager, Alesis. “For 2011, we’ve continued to raise the bar, without raising the price.'"

All of the synths in this room are wired to a common patch bay that is connected to high quality DI boxes before hitting Apogee pre amps and converters.

While the room has over 30 synthesizers inside at any given time, there are also many additional options -- including different models and doubles that are stored and accessible directly outside The Cabin’s walls for your immediate use.

Every synth in The Cabin's collection has been carefully curated to bring sonic awesomeness to your project. From all the classic staples to rare modular synths, The Cabin has it all and even more available on standby.

Big thanks to Rob Rosen and Eli Goss for their time to take us through The Cabin and demo some of their fantastic synthesizers!
