Jordan Rudess' Tachyon for iOS Released

Video previously posted here.
"Do you want to play an electric guitar and a piano at the same time? What about choosing the electrifying buzz of a drill and blending it into the soothing tone of a human voice? Jordan Rudess and Kevin Chartier’s Tachyon gives you all these options and more.

From the makers of the award winning app, MorphWiz, comes a new creation that allows images and sound to become one as they magically blend under your fingertips. Each note you play is an individual expression, allowing independent control of pitch and tone far beyond that of traditional instruments.

Most instruments only allow you to play one sound at a time, but with Tachyon, you can seamlessly blend between any two sounds as you slide your fingers up and down the screen.

The visual experience of Tachyon is just as mesmerizing. As you move along the playing surface, a field of twinkling stars morphs into the shape of your selected instrument, allowing a direct correlation between sight and sound.

As described by Jordan Rudess, “Tachyon is simple to use and at the same time offers a unique musical expressive power. The sonic core of the app is a custom crafted sound set from my personal library, encompassing sounds as familiar as those you would find in your home toolbox, and as exclusive as the ones I use on tour with Dream Theater."

Whether you’re a seasoned musician looking for a next generation instrument to further express your creativity, or just a regular Joe browsing the app store looking for a fun and simple purchase that will delight the whole family, Tachyon is the app for you!"

"No need to hype this one; it truly is the pinnacle of mono-synth engineering. Its screaming leads, punchy bass, and squealing resonance are matched tonally only by the Minimoog Model D, yet it dwarfs its rival in features, routing flexibility, and tuning stability. With dual oscillators, lowpass and highpass filters, a comprehensive sample and hold section, a pair of envelopes, frequency and ring modulation functionality, pink and white noise, expansive CV in/out, external audio processing, and comprehensive routing of ADSR, AR, S&H, and LFO sections to both the filter and oscillators, it takes much of the functionality of a modular synth and packs it into a remarkably efficient and user friendly framework. Simply put, this is one brilliant synth!

This one has just been serviced and is fully functional. All sliders and switches have been cleaned, deoxidized, and freshly lubricated. A handful of sliders with dodgy tracks were replaced with high quality synthrestore.co.uk replacements, and all sliders have been fitted with new caps. The keyboard functions well; all notes trigger accurately and the bar has been cleaned and deoxidized. The keys have been leveled since the pictures below were taken. They're not perfectly level, but the middle two keys that are high in the photo are now much closer inline with the others. All functions on the Odyssey were calibrated less than a month ago and are at spec. It is clean, quiet, stable, and trouble free. Cosmetically it is about what you would expect given its age. It has been used but not abused, and for the past few years been well kept and maintained in a private studio. The leather (faux leather?) sides show some staining and wear. The paint is somewhat faded and shows a few scratches. The bottom, of course, is marked and scratched from stands. On the whole, however, it is a very nice looking keyboard. Please refer to the many images below for specifics.

One item of note: On the bottom of each key is a rubber guide holding two wires. They slide easily onto a little post sticking out of the bottom of each key. When a key is depressed, these wires touch a metal bar and trigger a note. During shipping it is possible that one or more of these guides might slide down, or even off of the key, resulting in either the key not triggering or the wires touching the bar and sounding a steady note. All that needs to be done is to press the little rubber guide back onto its post on the bottom of the key, and check that the wires are on the right side of the bars. Arp provided an access panel for just this purpose, so you don't even have to otherwise open the keyboard. It is a very, very simple thing to correct, and likelier than not, won't even happen. But on the off chance it does, IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS A REASON FOR RETURNING THE ITEM. It does not represent actual damage to the keyboard; it's simply something that infrequently happens when transporting this model synth... "
