Ciat Lonbarde

Title link takes you to Ciat Lonbarde's website. Home to some truly unique and esoteric synths and more. You want wood? Here you go. Check out the knobs. Reminds me of those little sandwich wraps. Just pick one up and chow. : )

"For you, Ciat-Lonbarde will make the finest instruments to listen to spacey sounds and make space reggae. These instruments feature the sandrode philosophy, a path to intuition. You are presented with infinite possibilities arranged in the random sandrodes and the connections you make in them. You touch them softly or short them metallicly to scroll thru different sonic worlds of sound. The Fourses and Fyrall are two kits to make your own sandrode sonic worlds. "

Hmm... Space... Reggae... Pot... Sandwich wraps. Mmmm....

Joking aside... Truly beautiful design. Make sure to check out the rest. Amazing.

Basement Jaxx and the PSE Law

Title link takes you to a Basement Jaxx video (not sure what the track is), that just screams of the PSE law in Japan. Hmm... I wonder if that was a TB-303 in the bathtub... "Don't take my Ensoniq! Please! For the love of Bob!"

Ugo Rez and Metallurgy

"Rez is a virtual analog monosynth, with a highly resonant low pass filter, that is capable of a wide range of sounds, from funky squishes, beastly basses and screaming leads, to tight arpeggiations, atmospheres, bells, and interesting effects." And... It's free.

"Metallurgy is a PC VST multi effect that is capable of providing sounds ranging from some basic, subtle, filter tweaks to twisted, complex, walls of sound that bare virtually no resemblance to the original audio. " Title link takes you there.

Aliens Project 360

Now this is cool. Click here for a 360° Quicktime 3D View of Aliens Project Studio. Via Moogulator. Also check out the Aliens Project Studio site.

Quality is in the New Moog! : )

Well, no surprise as it is MOOG, but it's always good to hear it confirmed.

"The new synth DEFINITELY DOES have Voyager similarities... it has two
Voyager oscillators, identical to the ones in the Voyager as far as I know.
The envelopes are a discrete transistor design inherited directly from the
Voyager. The filter is a Moog ladder filter; Bob's design directly ported
from the Voyager also. Dr. Moog put a lot of work, directly and indirectly,
into this new synth, and it is in the direct lineage of his creations."

As I expected, and definitely good news. Quality OSCs and filters and Bob was behind it. That's more than good enough for me. I can't wait to see and hear this synth!

Music Genesis

This one sent my wave via Brian Comnes. Music Genesis is basicaly a windows based random music generator that can export to WAV, MP3, or MIDI for playing other instruments.



"MusiGenesis works by adding randomly-generated notes to a song and letting you decide whether to keep or delete each one. By keeping what you like and deleting what you don't like, you will quickly create a unique piece of music ( more ).

Once your MusiGenesis song is finished, you can export it as a WAV file (for CDs), as an MP3, or as a MIDI file for use in other sequencing software like ACID, Cakewalk or FL Studio (Fruityloops)." Title link takes you there.

Here's a short WAV from Brian.

Details:
"this is a musigenesis file exported to midi

(see this for his Britney Brazillian reference. Apologies ahead of time).

Thanks Brian.
