"Self built. Self played. The coolest synth sound.

Running Arduino, transimitting MIDI wirelessly to my Juno-G.

Even if you play like beginner you cannot go wrong with keytar."

"Völlig unerwarte Präsentierte uns Waldorf eine ALPHA Version des Waldorf PPG V3. Die Prognose weist auf eine Juni Veröffentlichung und eine Preis von €150 Euro hin. Einen Upgrade von der Waldorf Edition wird es NICHT geben!"

Googlish:
"Totally unexpected Presented us an alpha version of Waldorf Waldorf PPG V3. The forecast has a June release and a price point of € 150. An upgrade from the Waldorf Edition, it will NOT be!"

Update via Qwave in the comments: "I heard it at the Messe and talked to Wolfram Franke, the programmer of this and the old 2.V. I complained about the different aliasing since the old days of betatesting the 2.V. Now, the new version with totally changed oscillator's inside code, the high frequency sample rate of the PPG wave 2.2 and 2.3 (slightly higher) is recreated more accurate. And then downsampled to the 44 kHz or what ever you use on your computer audi interface. The difference is easy to hear. The original aliasing was well in the hearing range of everybody. So the downsampling is much like hearing the PPG wave as recorded in high digital quality of an uncompressed CD format or even better. The sounds get all the gritty harshness of the real PPG waves. And I know what I am talking about, because I used to have a 2.2 and 2.3. And a waveterm B.
Right now, only the sample loading is implemented. I don't think the world will need all those outdated and very abstract to handle sequencer stuff of the original PPG waveterm. Or the resynthesis, which only worked for a single spectrum, not for a whole sound like on the Waldorf WAVE. Or the formant mode to create a single spectrum that is calculated to fill all slots of the wavetable to use a formant corrected version of the spectrum across the keyboard. Not that much needed.
I think most PPG waveterm users used sampling, because this was the new thing then. And every body hated the sequencer, but there were not so many alternatives available to us, then now.
On display was an alpha version. So things may change. Some features might be added.
The FX section is much like the one of the Largo. So you get the 6 stage chorus as well as some long delays and a reverb. But only one FX a time per part. The PPG 3.V is of cause multitimbral as the PPG wave 2.3. : 8 sounds a time. But with the very same limitations of the real PPG wave 2.3: a multi sample is only max 8 parts and uses up all 8 multi slots (named "bank" in the PPG wave 2.3). You may load multiple instances of the plug-in, to get more sounds at the same time. Or run the old 2.V plug-in side by side with this new one."

Musikmesse: Limited Edition Green Future Retro Orb Sequencer

"Introducing the limited edition UV Orb...

Only 40 units will be offered with this UV green finish that glows brightly under blacklight. Same features and functions as the standard Orb unit.

The Orb is an easy to use, single track, step-based digital sequencer, ideal for controlling our XS semi-modular synthesizer as well as other analog CV/Gate or MIDI synthesizers. The Orb is also a perfect solution for controlling 303 clones which often lack the essential sequencer."

Full details on the Future Retro website here.

Again, giving this one the Musikmesse header and label so it doesn't get missed with the product announcements during the messe.

Red Bull Music Academy Radio - Don Buchla

"You all know about the Moog. But what about Don Buchla, the Californian synthesizer designer who's Buchla Series 100 was released mere months after Dr. Bob's first synth? His electronic music equipment company, Buchla & Associates, were commissioned by avantgarde composers Morton Subotnik and Ramon Sender to create something they could use in live performance - and since then he's been creating and designing a whole range of unusual electro-acoustic instruments and deeply desirable modular synths. That includes the intruiging Marimba Lumina, the classic 1970 200 Series Electric Music Box or indeed the hot little analogue cutie, 1972s Music Easel. Buchla's sonic toys combine a colourful aesthetic with supernatural sonic abilities. Genius alert!"
