RIP Gert Jalass of Moon Modular

Some sad news sent my way via John L Rice who helped man the Moon Modular booth at NAMM every year. Gert Jalass, the man behind Moon Modular has passed away. I met Gert serveral times at NAMM and he was always a pleasure to talk to. He always welcomed me with a smile. He was genuinely passionate about synthesisers and the synth community. I haven't been able to make events lately and was looking forward to seeing him again. I'm so saddened that I won't be able to. I am sincerely going to miss him.

You can find posts featuring Gert here, and of course posts featuring Moon Modular here.

NAMM: Line 6 Mobile Keys with Release Velocity

Mobile Keys 25 and 49 Line 6 - Namm 2012 Musicianews

At 1:17 he mentions these have release velocity. You don't see that often. Velocity allows you to affect a sound based on how hard or quickly you hit the keys. Aftertouch allows you to affect a sound based on pressure you apply to the keys after pressing them. Release velocity, however, allows you to affect a sound based on how quickly you remove your hands from the keyboard. In short it offers an extra level of expression and can be quite useful. It's one thing I really liked about the Oberheim Matrix-6 keyboard. A simple example would be to assign the amplitude envelope release level to release velocity so that if you release quickly the sound cuts off, but if you release slowly the sound sustains.
