Elektron Poster Art via ben (shoontz) shannon Illustrator

via the man that brought us this awesome post. Don't miss the rest of Ben's art on http://www.shoontz.com.

On the top two posters:
"The lady in the lake one was likening the Monomachine to Excalibur, the 2001 poster kind of speaks for itself, and the girl riding the Monomachine was half my idea and half Daniel's request (I actually cried when I heard he died) [For those that do not know, Daniel Hansson was the man behind Elektron and passed away at the young age of 32 on August 19th of 2007].

Each of the samurai represents a sound engine, and that the woman is the FX section/Monomachine itself, (the only thing powerful enough to command them). A futuristic master for classic power.

I've actually got a picture that Zombi Nation sent me of the posters hanging in his studio too! I wish I could share it, but it might be a violation of our friendship."

Native Instruments Reaktor 5.5 Beta - First Look on CDM

On CDM. The synth bits:
"Fans of Reaktor over the years have come to appreciate the free updates and content NI routinely provides to customers. This update is no exception, shipping with ensembles previously released as “Electronic Instruments 2″ and an instrument called Lazerbass that’s based on a new Reaktor module called the Sine Bank. Designed by synth wiz Mike Daliot, Lazerbass showcases in one instrument most of the new Reaktor. It’s got a beautiful panel design, excellent sound selections as snapshots, along with gut-wobbling new additive synthesis. NI is known for sonic innovation and that “Future Sound” so many producers crave. Reaktor 5.5 delivers with Lazerbass and with this new instrument alone, puts a wide wandering swath of VST crap completely to shame."

Kilpatrick K4815 Pattern Generator + Dewanatron Triple Slice

YouTube via bigcitymusic | July 15, 2010

"Here's the incredibly amazing Kilpatrick Audio K4815 Pattern Generator controlling the brand new Dewanatron Triple Slice oscillator. The K4815 is capable of producing an almost infinite amount of different patterns and sequences. You choose the pattern type, the motion type, the clock speed (different divisions of internal or external clock), and the gate time. You can choose forward or reverse, major or minor sequences and "large/small" which determines how many octaves your pattern will move through The gate out in this example is opening a Malekko/Wiard Borg filter in lowpass gate/VCA mode.

The Dewanatron Triple Slice is a beautiful sounding triangle oscillator with three wave slicing stages, Slicing is just like wavefolding. Imagine taking a triangle wave and inverting or folding it part way through so now the top portion of the triangle is inverted. There are three stages of this that can add varying degrees of complimentary harmonics to your original waveshape. The "Stir" amount controls the internal LFO's to modulate the amount of each slicing stage. There's also an external oscillator input that you can use to slice other oscillators or sound sources. The "Skew" control adjusts the LFO's slice rates of the second and third stages."
