Musikmesse: Teenage Engineering OP-1

A shot of the Teenage Engineering OP-1 in the flesh at the Musikmesse. See this prior post for video and the press image.

According to Niall in the comments of that post: "Some of these guys have worked for Elektron; Jesper does their industrial design and has contributed presets."

Looks like Axel Hartmann had a display with some of his design work. Behind the Hartmann Neuron you can see images of some of the synths he did the interface/hardware design for including the Moog Voyager and Waldorf Wave UI. See his site for other synths he worked on. Below are the MFB modular and the new Doepfer Dark Energy. Be sure to see the set link above for more.

Musikmesse: Clavia Nord Wave OS 2

Clavia Nord Wave OS 2.02
"We are pleased to announce that the OS of the Nord Wave have been updated to version 2.02 that besides a few bugfixes, also includes some exciting new features: NEW FEATURES • The analog triangle and sawtooth waveforms are now shapeable. This provides you with extended harmonic control, and allows you also to create interesting results by modulating the shape. • 6 new waveform options have been added in the Osc 1 Misc category. These consist of 2 new noises, three new sine waves and 1 new pulse wave: • Misc n2 - Complementing the original noise is a new "narrow" noise band which gives it a pitched character. The Shape control allows you to dial in a timbre ranging from a wide band noise to a fluctuating sine wave. • Misc n3 - The metallic noise waveform produces a noisy signal with a bright metallic timbre. The timbre is created by a dense cloud of short pulses with carefully detuned frequency relations, creating clusters of high pitched partials in its audio spectrum. This type of noise is useful to create the metallic sounds made by acoustic cymbals and hihats. • Misc SO & SA - 2 shapeable sinus waveforms, one with the addition of odd numbered harmonics, and the other with both odd and even numbered. • Misc SS - A third sine wave, which is syncable. The Shape control sets the pitch of the "hidden" sync oscillator. • Misc PF - This pulse wave is of the "fixed" variety, the width is adjusted in absolute time values with the Shape control. This makes the width constant across the keyboard and results in a nice and rugged spectrum with fixed formants, similar in character to many acoustic instruments. • The number of FM categories for both Osc 1 & 2 have been almost doubled with the addition of 18 new, 3 operator FM algorithms. • The update also makes the Nord Wave compatible with the ever growing Nord Sample Library, and the Nord Sound Manager v5.x and Nord Sample Editor v2.x. This allows you to exchange samples with Nord Electro 3 users and to download lots of new sounds from the Nord Sample Library. BUG FIXES • Fixed an issue with Morphs getting sluggish during heavy load. • Improved Note On response time, the Wave is now reacting faster. • Fixed a rare issue where the master level could drop significantly. NORD SOUND MANAGER "

You might remember the NORD SOUND MANAGER from this post.

BWeevil vs BugModular

YouTube via BugBrand
"Before sending things out I always like to test - both to check and for the fun. Here is a selection of startup system modules with input from a BoardWeevil.

The Weevil signal is used both for an audio source to be processed (through LPG and PT Delay) and as a Sync source for the SYN2A VCO - hear the freq. tracking midway through, along with many unexpected happenings.

For more info please check http://www.bugbrand.co.uk"

After Sending (Bug Modular)

"A celebratory play after sending out the first few startup BugModular systems! And also a first glimpse of a few new modules - CTL2 Joystick, PRC3A State Variable Filter & UTL4 Dual DC Mixer.

A droning patch with Envelope looping speed governed by the Joystick and touch pressure. Two main Oscs + a third for Sync pitches controlled by the Y axis. Other bits and pieces in there too no doubt!

Sorry for the quality of the audio - it sounds so rich in person, but the crappy camera just won't do it justice.
