WOK MoogoFilter


"This is a MIDI-controllable filter, that gives all your plugins or synths that famous thick sound you all know well. It is true stereo. Put it as an insert into your audio track or behind your synth plugin. Use the frequency and resonance dial for a static sound, or feed it with MIDI-notes to use the integrated envelope generator!"

finger BassLine

"The finger BassLine is a musical instrument for the iPhone and the iPod Touch heavily inspired by the legendary Roland TB-303.
It provides a monophonic synthesizer with built-in pattern-based step sequencer.

Synth section features include:
* Oscillator with two waveforms (sawtooth or square)
* Stable low-pass filter allowing high resonance values not leading to self oscillation
* Graphical representation of the filter parameters

Sequencer section features include:
* Individual pattern lengths (up to 64 sixteenths)
* Emphasized notes and pauses
* Smooth transition between notes
* Functions to clear, transpose, shift, and clone patterns

Ideally suited for live performance:
* Realtime modulation of the filter parameters using the intuitive pad-controls
* Pattern switches take effect on downbeat
* Tap-tempo"

303 Pocket Noise

"Amidio Inc. will release 303 Pocket Noise (name could change in future)

-pattern 303 Emulator
+ Based on Noise.io's Pro Engine
+ 2 waveforms - saw, square
+ 4 Patterns with realtime pattern sequence programming
+ Realtime pattern editing (on loop)
+ Auto-save on quit
+ Slides, 3 octaves
+ Very simple interface: just 2 screens.
+ Modulation surface like in Noise.io Pro
+ swingy BPM

We need this app to be a testing playground for new features and if the features prove itself, they will be expanded quickly into Noise.io Pro.

Noise.io Pro will always remain the flagship product and will contain all the features found in smaller products.

303 Pocket Noise will be priced at $0.99 or at $1.99.

Planned date of release: middle or late December 2008."

Last day with the Juno6

"I sold my Juno6 on eBay, I'll be sad to see it go as it was my first hardware synthesizer. But hey! At least I have the funds to buy a 106 now :D"

Jomox XBase999 and M-Resonator


YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Here's a simple beat from the monsterous analog Jomox Xbase999. We're processing it with the Jomox M-Resonator Analog Filter Machine. The M-Resonator has two analog resonant low pass filters interwoven into a feedback matrix that has an envelope section as well. This box is capable of a wide variety of tones. From subtle filter sweeps to extreme feedback, the M-Resonator is a unique piece."

Infection Music Zeit Sequencer


via this auction

"Incredibly uncommon, very deep sequencer from Infection Music purchased from Analog Haven in California. First owner, studio use only.


There is a ton of information but also a lot of mystery around this unit due to the small manufacture (I am told they number in the single digits...). http://www.infectionmusic.com/ is the manufacturer web site and gives up the goods far better than I can in the space here. It is a fully featured MIDI sequencer designed with a thoughtful awareness of the sorts of trickier things used in the old school analog modulars, excels in the tangerine dream and kraftwerk vibes but of course useful across all genres, effective with anything that can talk MIDI (even, of course, soft synths)."
