Cableguys FilterShaper 3 Out Now!

"Filter, Volume and Pan Modulations on Steroids.
Save EUR/USD 20 until January 21!
MORE INFO AND FREE DEMO: http://www.cableguys.de/filter-shaper..."

"FilterShaper 3 takes a giant leap into unconventional sound design with two powerful filters, freely editable modulation curves, and an immensely flexible modulation framework.

The new Sallen-Key type filters deliver a rich, warm, intricate sound. Create complex, shifting, interweaving effects. Apply subtle nuances or giant wobbles. From filtersweeps and stereo tremolo to surgically-precise filter control and multiband sidechain effects.

Try it out — download the demo and let FilterShaper 3 loose on your audio productions.

Experiment and Explore
Start with two filters, running in serial or in parallel, plus a set of simple controls. Then set things in motion: All main controls have their own modulation section with two flexible LFOs and one envelope follower each. For advanced effects editing, each LFO in turn has its own speed and intensity control — each with its own LFO and envelope follower. And all LFOs can be MIDI triggered. Visual feedback on each control and oscilloscope views on each LFO keep you focused. And a community-powered, ever-growing library of presets provides starting points and inspiration for your own sounds.

Total Precision Control
FilterShaper 3 excels at surgically precise control. For pinpoint tweaking of the modulation curve and a close-up oscilloscope view, open up the detail panel. Filter out a specific beat in a loop. Tame a booming kick. Or shape a tired sample into something lively and vibrant. You have two filters, 60 LFOs, and 50 envelope followers at your fingertips — a detailed, interconnected toolbox for shaping your sound.

Advanced Multiband Sidechain Effects
As well as pinpoint editing, pulsing rhythmic effects, and left-field, alien craziness, FilterShaper 3 can deliver flexible, precisely timed sidechain compression effects. For multiband sidechain, set up filter one to manage the lows and assign filter two to the highs. Duck out the bass when the kick hits, take out the highs to emphasize a snare — simply draw the curve for each as required. Download the demo and try it out for yourself."

"I Århus" - on Yamaha HE-8

Published on Jan 20, 2014 organfairy·406 videos

"I don't know how well this came out. I wanted to try a different style this time because this is a song about trying to be cool in a city cafe in the mid 1980's. The title refers to the Danish city Århus. A least the piano solo went well...

The song was originally performed by Danish singer Frank Megabody (there are some of his other songs her on YT) and this version was something I made on the Yamaha organ about ten years ago."

The Korg Volca Series: 3 Volcas Combined- Song 1

Published on Jan 20, 2014 AutomaticGainsay·193 videos

"The instruments in the Volca series are excellent individually, but they can also be combined to create a miniature electronic studio.
When I first acquired the Volca series, I combined them, improvised sequences, and then shot myself improvising manipulation of those sequences. That is the origin of these 3 Volcas Combined videos.

In the right hands and with a little practice, some great music can come out of these as a set. Don't let my little experiments fool you. ;)

Because I got tired of looking at my face, I have created weird visual narratives from vintage educational films to go along with these songs.

Please forgive me for the sloppy mixes... in haste, I ran them all through a single mixer for recording during performance.

Thanks for watching!"

Nord Keyboards announces Nord Lead A1 analog modeling synthesizer

"Nord Keyboards are proud to announce the new Nord Lead A1 analog modeling synthesizer. The Lead A1 combines the latest analog modeling engine with an innovative streamlined interface for fast-track programming.

ANALOG MODELING
The Lead A1 is equipped with an analog modeling sound engine capable of reproducing the character and nuances of the vintage synths of your dreams with breathtaking accuracy. 24-voice polyphonic and four part multi-timbral, the Lead A1 is a flexible choice for either stage or studio, delivering a stunningly rich and versatile palette of sounds.

THE NEED FOR SPEED
The Lead A1 introduces a new front-panel user interface designed to make programming quick and easy, while retaining hands on flexibility.
"We’ve been thinking about and honing this interface for a number of years in response to what we hear from many professional players regarding the ever-increasing time pressures in creating sounds for stage or studio. ” says Hans Nordelius, CEO and head designer.
One of the main features of the new interface is the Oscillator section, where Oscillator configuration shortcuts allow patches to be created and edited far quicker than is usually possible for synthesis of this complexity.
Using a single LFO and simplified Modulation Envelope with intuitive controls on the front panel, it is also very quick to experiment with modulations, always with a clear overview of the structure of the patch.

FILTERS
The on-board filters include Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass, along with new stunningly accurate modeled Ladder M and Ladder TB filters.

EFFECTS
The Lead A1 features an independent effects processor for each of its four slots. Delay, high quality Reverb, plus a choice of Drive, Ring Modulation, Phaser, Flanger, Ensemble or Chorus are available per slot. The impressive new Ensemble and Chorus effects are analog models of specific classic synths, bringing vintage analog warmth and feel.
Nord's acclaimed Morph function via Velocity or the Mod Wheel is also included, allowing multiple parameters to be morphed in real time and with exceptionally easy control.
Additional functions include an independent arpeggiator for each of the four slots, Master Clock sync of the LFO, delay and Arpeggiator, MIDI over USB, and four independent outputs. The Lead A1 also includes the Nord Sound Manager software patch librarian.

Like all Nord products, the Lead A1 is handmade in Sweden with meticulous attention to detail and quality control.

The Nord Lead A1 will be available in April 2014 with an estimated price of $ 1799 MAP
For more information please visit www.nordkeyboards.com/a1/

Visitors to the NAMM Show can see the Lead A1 on the booth of USA distributor American Music & Sound, B6464."
