DSPaudio Nortron

Soft synth version of the Latronic Notron. Note the extra "r."
Mac only.

"A software sequencer inspired by classic hardware, Nortron goes further into new sequencing dimensions while retaining tight timing, quick navigation, and instrument like playability. Through IAC and CoreMIDI, Nortron controls Softsynths and standard MIDI devices. Nortron breathes new life into old instruments and otherwise dull synthesizers by playing them in ways not previously possible."

Zebranalogic Updates

via Darren in Singapore:

"The Zebranalogic updated their website.... now with more new gear (new VCF and new LFO). It has now added more pix, more examples, a video, zebrablog, radioblog, etc... cool stuffs. Amazingly, Zebranalogic's blog has two mentions of Singapore's site... One special site to note is Mr MISSE site which has an interview with Zebranalogic in the feature site... Mr Misse belongs to my friend, an online store that carries mainly stomp boxes and effects from major brands including Korg and Moog... nice web site I must say... check out the short interview with Zebranalogic if you have the time to grace :) URL

Korg Polysix Demo

Title link takes you to a 6M mp3 of the Korg Polysix by konvert. Via this VSE thread:

" started tweaking my Polysix (thanks to morbius! ) and thought to share this, uhh, 5 min sequence showing something I found out Polysix is capable.
Not too extreme but there's surprising range of timbres available with only one oscillator + sub-osc.

I used Logic to send trigger signal to the arpeggiator of Polysix.
I added a touch of reverb/delay to liven it up a little. Ooh I want Space-echo!

'Enjoy'"

And yes, konvert gave me the thumbs up to put this up and host the sample.
