";»[ https://www.solidtrax.nl/shop/synthet... ]«
64 new and magical #presets ‪@rolandglobal‬ #sh01a - These #sounds are suitable for ambient, house, techno, IDM and various sorts of electronic dance music genres.

This comprehensive synthesizer is based on the classic SH-101, but with some neat tricks up its sleeve.

All sounds are recorded dry, towards the end of each demo you'll notice the addition of some applied effects. What you're hearing is the raw output from this SH-01A; no EQ or dynamic tools have been applied unless mentioned. Drums are also from the SH-01A!

Effects applied are:
‪@bitwig‬ Chorus+, several Delays & Reverbs - amazing effects with loads of options.
‪@ValhallaDSP‬ ValhallaRoom and VintageVerb - so good!
‪@AconDigital‬ Verberate 2 - true gem!

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.

Velocité - full album (Mike Oldfield meets Air & Tame Impala)

video upload by Caught In Joy

"Inspired by the fluid energy of Tangerine Dream, the layered elegance of Mike Oldfield, and the dreamlike pulse of Air and Tame Impala, this album explores the strange intersections of speed and stillness.

Velocité is a deep, cinematic dive into motion, memory, and momentum—an hour-long journey shaped by analog synths, ambient textures, and hypnotic rhythms.

Created live and mixed with obsessive attention to detail, Velocité captures that fleeting feeling of being in transit—somewhere between the past and the future. Best experienced in one uninterrupted listen.

Composed, mixed and mastered by Caught In Joy. Karol Pokojowczyk uses Bitwig, Moog One, Moog Matriarch, Prophet-10, 3x Moog Mavis, TipTop Buchla modules, Make Noise Strega, Strymon Magneto, Arturia V-Collection and an army of guitar pedals. Performed and recorded live on tape with TEAC 80-8.

"We take a look at the Roto-control from ‪@melbourneinstruments‬ a new 8 knob MIDI controller, with unique rotary encoder technology using drone motors.

Introduced at NAMM, the controller's encoders provide a tactile haptic feedback, making them configurable in multiple ways. Traditional end stop knobs, rotary encoders, centre-dent, positive multi-position switches/

Connectivity options include USB-C ports for power management and standard MIDI in, out and through connections.

NAMM 2025: Bitwig's Step into Hardware with Bitwig Connect 4.12

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke with Frederik from Bitwig at NAMM, who introduced us to the company's first hardware product, *Bitwig Connect 4.12*. This new device marks Bitwig's transition from a software-only company to a software and hardware player.

An innovative USB audio interface, the Bitwig Connect 4.12 features 4 inputs and 12 outputs. Notably, all inputs and outputs are DC-coupled, enabling better integration with analog gear. The unit features combined XLR/jack inputs for flexibility and includes MIDI in/out, a dedicated headphone output, and connectivity via USB-C.

The control surface on Bitwig Connect 4.12 operates as an audio, MIDI interface, and DAW controller through the UCM protocol. With monitor and transport controls, including a handy Bitwig mode button, you can efficiently manage your workflow.

Accompanying the hardware, Bitwig Studio Essentials software valued at $99 is bundled, and additional partner software is available through the Bitwig Circle program. The retail price for Bitwig Connect 4.12 is set at €499 or $549, with an anticipated release in Spring 2025."

Bitwig Connect 4/12

More Than An Audio Interface
Bitwig Connect 4/12 is a class-compliant, 4‑in/12‑out CV- and MIDI‑enabled audio interface with monitor- and DAW-control functionalities and a unique Bitwig Mode.

Your Ultimate Studio Sidekick
Connect is a three-in-one audio/MIDI interface, monitor and DAW controller. Six mode buttons allow its 360°, touch-sensitive dial to adjust interface parameters or control software. It can set input gain, regulate the volume levels for two sets of monitors and your headphones, or even move the playhead and control any Bitwig Studio parameter with exceptional resolution.

The front panel gives you immediate visual feedback, with accurate input and output meters and a ring of 32 RGB LEDs around the dial to visualize parameter values and automation data. Plus, gain settings are accessible and saved within Bitwig Studio, so you can pick up right where you left off next time you open it.

CV Connects the Best of Both Worlds
With two DC-coupled inputs and four outputs easily accessible via 3.5 mm minijacks directly on the front panel, Connect is a superior choice for musicians with CV-enabled hardware. That means it goes both ways: To external devices from Bitwig Studio or other programs, and from hardware sequencers and modulation signals into the software realm.

Thanks to factory calibration, Connect plays pitch-perfect and without offset with Bitwig Studio right out of the box. And since jacks can also be used for audio signals, they can act as additional ins and outs for line-level signals, making them useful to all types of users.

Bring Bitwig Studio to Life
Connect's unique Bitwig Mode puts Bitwig Studio at your fingertips with DAW controller functionalities. Seamless integration makes writing automation, fine-tuning settings, and navigating the timeline in Bitwig Studio with Connect's main dial intuitive and precise. Get quick access to any control with the high-resolution dial by hovering over it with your cursor, and lock a selected parameter to Connect by double-tapping. The LED ring indicates its current task by matching the color of the parameter or track in Bitwig Studio so you'll never get lost.
