Easy Synthing: Novation K-Station

YouTube Uploaded by se7ense7 on Apr 30, 2011

"Some random synthesis on the K-Station. No vocoders or elaborate patches. Just some LFO routing, sync, filter env, delay, reverb, distortion... It's capable of much much more... but as you know these video's are all about simple synthesis on various synthesizers...

Cool little synth, allmost every paramter has it's own knob (a lot of similarities with the Nova and Supernova) ... you shouldn't pay any more then €250-300 for it. I bought mine for €150 (without adapter). This synth is small enough to actual take it with you... I'm gigging with this too... no batteries - so no synthing on the train or bus...

The vocoder is - I think - better than the one on the Microkorg. Less clipping. There are less parameters to adjust though... I'll have a go at a video showing this later...

I also make actual tracks with these synths I'm demoing... Go have a look at http://www.soundcloud.com/alienrobotdance - look for me on facebook - or have a look at my weblog at http://alienrobotdance.wordpress.com"

iTX81Z v1.2 Wireless iPad Editor Now Available

"iControlMIDI has released iTX81Z v1.2 for Yamaha TX81Z, a free upgrade for all iTX81Z v1.1 users.

iTX81Z v1.2 offers:
- a redesigned look & feel for enhanced readability plus some very tiny UI adjustments to make the workflow even better
- parameter default value buttons. In v1.2, if you touch the parameter value label, it resets the label / slider to a default value (ex: Operator Wave = 1, Operator Coarse Frequency = 1.00, etc...) for each parameter... this is the fastest workflow you'll ever get in sound designing!

Also, we revised couple of iControlMIDI Apps prices down to meet market demands."
