"More NAMM Updates coming -http://namm.soundsandgear.com

This is a sneak peak of a new kontakt workstation from VIP Loops (MVP Loops) and distributed through Big Fish Audio. It's called SWAGG and it's a new urban/pop workstation with a bunch of instruments and a custom interface.

I will be getting an exclusive interview with the creators as well as more footage this week at NAMM. It will be debuted at the Big Fish Audio booth."

An 8-octave polyphonic tone generator

Published on Jan 21, 2013 organfairy·359 videos

"This is a simple tone generator - well, simple in the sense that it might look very complicated. But in reality it is a simple circuit that is repeated twelve times. I use the well known LM555 - actually in this case it is called NE555 but they are practically the same - and an HCF4024 binary counter or frequency divider. It is pretty much an integrated circuit version of the tone generator from the typical analog organ of the late 1960's and early 1970's. And cheap too...

The music is played on Yamaha HE-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs and the rhythm is from a Roland CR-1000 that runs in sync with the Yamaha's own drum machine."

"This isn't a musical statement by any means.
Just some knob tweaking fun out of the box with the outstanding Analog Four synthesizer from Elektron.
DSI Tempest for the percussion sounds. The melodic bits are all Elektron.
Warning : some analog screeching sounds here and there!"

Acid Serge Modular - NTO & NonLinear Circuits Spam filter

Published on Jan 21, 2013 DJjondent·169 videos

"First test of the Spam filter from Non Linear Circuits.
Just tweaking .... trying to find some sweet spots.

The "Spam" is a variation on the famous Roland TB-303 transistor ladder VCF.
You can hear those Acid sounds

The VCO in this video is a Serge New Timbral Oscillator (NTO).
And the Serge 8-step sequencer supplies two sets of CV
which modulate the frequency & resonance.

Other variations of this simple patch may use an LFO or EG.

Thanks to Andrew from NLC (Non-Linear Circuits).

NAMM 2013: Roland Announces V-Combo VR-09 Keyboard Organ, Piano & Synth

Published on Jan 20, 2013 RolandChannel·757 videos

Additional videos below.
I love how Roland is integrating iPad editors for extended real time control of their synths.

"Travel-ready, affordable, and outfitted with top-level Roland sounds, the V-Combo VR-09 is the ideal all-in-one solution for performing keyboard players. Dedicated piano, organ, and synth sound engines—organized in three intuitive blocks on the front panel—provide all the essential tones you need, right under your fingertips. The powerful real-time controls give you maximum expression on stage, with nine sliders for tone shaping and a large array of knobs and buttons for tweaking the seven simultaneous effects and various parameters. Other great features include an onboard looper, a drum section stocked with a library of rhythms for practice and jamming, and more. With its versatile sound selection, inspiring operation, and smart user interface, the V-Combo VR-09 is a dream come true for gigging musicians.

Pro-quality acoustic and electric pianos, including grand piano with 88-note stereo multi-sampling
SuperNATURAL-powered Virtual Tone Wheel organ with nine harmonic bars, plus newly developed transistor-type ‘60s organ tone
Wide range of synth tones, from vintage classics to modern essentials
Seven simultaneous effects with dedicated real-time controls

Looper and built-in rhythm patterns; WAV/MP3/SMF song playback via optional USB memory
Free VR-09 Editor app available for iPad
Intuitive Operation for Expressive Stage Performance

The V-Combo VR-09 was designed from the ground up with the needs of live players in mind. An intuitive front-panel layout and clear LCD screen offers quick access to Roland’s top piano, organ, and synth sound engines, along with plenty of real-time controls for expressive tone manipulation. Seven simultaneous effects include rotary, delay, reverb, tone, overdrive, compressor, and customizable MFX, with dedicated knobs that tweak multiple parameters with a single twist for powerful sound shaping with minimal effort. The smart interface makes it simple to set up splits and layers on the fly, and to save all your keyboard settings in user memory locations for instant recall on stage.

Pro Acoustic and Electric Pianos
Piano is a cornerstone sound for live playing, and the V-Combo VR-09 is filled with a wide selection for covering all musical styles. The gorgeous acoustic grand piano features 88-note stereo multi-sampling, delivering pro-level tone that rivals Roland’s dedicated stage pianos. Many popular vintage E. Piano sounds are onboard as well, along with complimentary effects such as vintage phaser and tremolo. The compressor—accessible via a dedicated, easy-to-reach knob—transparently boosts the level of the piano sounds, ensuring that your playing always cuts through when performing in loud bands.

World-Class Organs
Roland’s renowned SuperNATURAL technology powers the V-Combo VR-09’s classic tonewheel organs, while nine harmonic bars provide authentic real-time performance control. A newly developed transistor-type organ is also included, offering the unique sound of combo instruments from the 1960s. The 61-note keyboard has an extremely fast response, perfect for essential organ techniques such as trill, sputter, glissando, and percussive hits. Rotary speaker and amp simulators reproduce the characteristics of vintage organ speaker cabinets and overdriven tube circuits with astounding realism, while a new “Twin Rotary” option delivers a deep, aggressive effect never before heard.

Vintage and Modern Synth Tones
The V-Combo VR-09 is packed with a ton of ready-to-play synthesizer sounds, from vintage analog classics like JUNO strings and ‘80s synth brass to textured, modern-era digital tones and beyond. Front-panel controllers allow you to tweak the synth tones intuitively in real time, including convenient ADR and cutoff/resonance adjustment with the harmonic bars in the ORGAN block. Onboard effects like “Bit Crash” provide the ability to create modern synth voices for current dance music, including dubstep.

VR-09 Editor for iPad
The free VR-09 Editor app for iPad gives you powerful, intuitive control of the organ and synth sound engines via your tablet’s full-color touchscreen interface. Quickly edit organ sounds and customize vintage tonewheel characteristics such as leakage, click noise, and rotary speed, and easily access synth sounds to build custom tones and layers. After tweaking sounds at home, you can take your iPad to the gig and use the app for extra real-time control on stage. Convenient, cable-free communication between the V-Combo VR-09 and iPad is simple to set up with Roland Wireless Connect. Alternately, you can link up with a USB cable via Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit."
