MATRIXSYNTH on iPad

No, it's not a forthcoming app. Just a cool pic sent my way via Mike. :)

"Here is a photograph I just took to prove to all the people who bought iPad ver1 that there is an easy upgrade to make it perhaps not work faster, but at least make it look amazingly better!"

"I made this too long demo video maybe a year ago(?), but never uploaded it here because it was too long. Now that they've increased the allowed time, I can post it here.

Basically this is a long, boring, methodical demo of the basic sounds of several filters. The original idea was from a recipe for a basic "fat" sound by Mark Pulver, using 3 vco's. I controlled this sound using a simple pattern from a Music From Outer Space 16 step sequencer. Just basic filter operation is demonstrated - no added modulation from envelopes or lfo's - otherwise it would get too confusing and take too long. I'm just sweeping the frequency knobs on the various filters at varying resonance settings."

Yamaha V2 - The DX11 from Japan

YouTube via DrSqu | Mar 2, 2011 |

"This is a lazy song with 11 tracks of Yamaha V2 pure.
Pure means: No external help like Fx, Eq etc.. All sounds comes directly from V2 into the soundcard without any plugins.

Yamaha V2 brings an 4OP FM-Synthesis without samples. You listen only FM. No layers. The panning is realized by the internal panner. Filterölike sounds are simply by FM ... theres no filter inside. I recorded every sound as a stereo file.

Here in Europe is the V2 a rarity from Japan, we only know the DX11 - the same synthesizer just with another naming."
