"Abeem Live Technologies has updated Rack Performer to version 0.97-alpha.
This version marks a new milestone and introduces a fresh batch of 51 internal modules to play with, including a RoboControl LFO, various RemoteControl, metering, routing and switching modules, all multi-channel compliant.
Many improvements and fixes are included as well, and even more modules are expected in next version.
Here's a list of what has changed.
New modules:
RoboControl LFO (modulate any parameter in the patch) PopupDesign x8 GUI wrapper PopupDesign x4 GUI wrapper PopupDesign Compact GUI wrapper 16x16 Matrix Mixer (mix 16 sources to 16 destinations)
via Live Factory "A long time has elapsed since the last release, but this new version marks a new milestone. With 51 new modules to play with, and even more in preparation, things are getting serious. And this is only the beginning...
As engine is becoming very stable we can now focus on the application content itself. There is no major new feature in this release, but instead we added a lot of modules, many improvements and some fixes.
We hope that the RoboControl LFO and the various RemoteControl, routing and switching modules will show you a glimpse of the kind of modular capacities Rack Performer has, while keeping the complexity at a minimum.
All these new modules are of course multi-channel compliant (the 4x1 matrix for instance, has up to 4 x 8-channels inputs etc)
Here's the list of what has changed. We hope you'll enjoy this new version.

Just a heads up that you might have missed a number of posts yesterday, 9/18. All of the timestamps for posts were stuck at 9:59 AM yesterday. This is a problem with Blogger and does not appear to be affecting all blogs. I checked the Blogger help group and others are seeing the same problem.
Why might you have missed some posts? I have the number of posts set to ten per page. When you get to the bottom of the page you click Older Posts to get to the next ten and so on. Well, because of the timestamp issue, when you clicked Older Posts the resulting page did not bring up the next ten posts but instead jumped to posts for 9/17. Posts after the 10th latest post for 9/18 were getting dropped.
To fix this, I went back and manually updated every single post yesterday with a new timestamp that kept the order in which they went up. The Older Posts link now works as expected. If you want to be sure you did not miss anything, I'd go back and review all posts dated 9/18/2008.

This one is more for the developers out there. For everyone else this is more for informative purposes - some insight into what goes into the tools and instruments we use.
"Presenting The Amazing Audio Engine 2: a new audio engine for Core Audio. In this video I introduce the main concepts, and walk through creating a simple demo app that plays a loop with effects, mixed together with audio input, with recording capabilities.

Third video on the Univox Minikorg.
This Minikorg has been modified to take an external pitch CV + gate signal.
It expects pitch in hz/v and lo-active gates.
While the Beatstep Pro can do it - it's a global setting.
Using my KVP module to convert the signals, it means I don't need to mess w/ the BSP globals whenever I hook up a Korg product.
"In this video, we dive into the ultimate comparison between the legendary Yamaha CS80, the iconic synth behind Blade Runner and countless classics, and the brand-new Xils-Lab The Eighty VST – a cutting-edge emulation of the original. I put these two head-to-head, exploring:
• Raw waveforms and the sound engine • Ring modulation and pitch bend capabilities • Dry sounds and FX comparisons • Iconic licks from Vangelis and Michael Jackson
Whether you're a synth enthusiast or looking for your next VST, this video has you covered. Let’s see if the future of VSTs can truly match the past of analog synths!"

"Black Magic is a unique loop workstation with the ability to generate diverse loops with a single mouse click. Furthermore a loop can instantly be recorded out to WAV, automatically named by BPM and timestamp. The idea developed to make sample based loops an easy and fun process, as loop creation is generally a time consuming process. Black Magic can also be used as a standard midi drum machine and also has the ability to jam with the individual sequences in real time. It has 10 Samplers each with its own sequencer and many adjustable parameters. It uses standard WAV files and ships with a large library of samples, but users can easily add their own. There is also a solid FX section which includes a Compressor/Limiter, Delay, SoundScaper, Flanger/Filter and Drive as well as many Modulation options including randomizers, a Modulation sequencer and an LFO." more info at http://www.hgsounds.com/

"Adding tape delay to your setup is old school and it’s fun and unique. In this video we’ll combing vintage technology (Analog Tape & Ensoniq ASR-10) With a modern analog synth. Well I guess it’s definitely old tech as well. Do I even have a point here? Anyway watch the video. It’s great!
Video Timestamp
00:03 - Preamble.
00:43 - Demo begins.
01:04 - The two oscillators are being sent to its analog filter and modulated by the EG.
02:16 - Oscillator 2 modulates the pulse with of oscillator 1.
03:15 - Analog Tape Delay begins.
For those interested. Here follows the patch. The ASR-10 is driving the MIDI to the Modular system. Its audio is also being fed to the Instrument Interface of the modular. Moving on to the Synthesizers.com system. The two oscillators are being sent to its analog filter and modulated by the EG. Later on in the video you’ll see that I take one of the oscillator outputs of the second oscillator and use it to modulate the pulse with of the first oscillator. Lastly the both the dotcom system and the ASR-10 are sent to a Macke mixer. This is where the tape delay is being created. If you want to know how to create Tape Delay here’s the video:"
How To Create Analog Tape Delay Effects With A Reel To Reel Recorder
Published on Feb 9, 2017
"If you have a consumer grade Reel to Reel tape recorder lying around your studio there’s still a few things, you can do to integrate it into your studio. One of those things is analog Tape Delay. Tape Delay is an echo effect based on the principle of audio feedback. In this video we’ll go through the steps to turn your analog recorder into a productive member of your studio.

Some new selected patches on the TX81Z FM Synthesizer.
Dark soundscape, dreamy, indie synthwave stuff.
This time without the Big Sky Reverb.
Using a single TX81Z unit.
Raw, naked, mono, FM synthesis goodness.
