CV Toolkit (Standalone Version) 1.1 + iOS Apps + MIDI over WI-Fi

Published on Feb 17, 2014

"In this video, we're using Cubasis to send MIDI over WI-FI (Network Session) to CV Toolkit.
CV Toolkit receives the MIDI notes, convert them to control voltages (using the new 'MIDI to CV' virtual module) and send them to the Eurorack modular synth via the ES-3 module.

In the second part of this video, we add the iElectribe app to the formula, sync it via MIDI clock and route it back into Cubasis via Audiobus. In other words, Cubasis is acting as our DAW, iElectribe as our drum machine and CV Toolkit + Eurorack Synth as our synth."

"All Roland affair-- young and old. Just mucking about, smashing out some techno. No major statement. Didn't realize the camera was rolling.

The TB3 is the distorted acid line. TB303 has some effects from the desk otherwise all the other effects emanate from the TR8 and TB3. TR727 is routed into the TR8 external in. VT3 is pictured but not in use here.

Devil Fish-Applied FM

Published on Feb 17, 2014 TB-303 Devil Fish·8 videos

"Devil Fish is in two feedback loops, the first is via a partially inserted plug into the 'Filter Out & FM in' socket which takes the filter out signal before the Amp and sends it back in to frequency modulate the filter frequency, the second is from the main 'Audio Out' to a Metal Zone distortion pedal which is split at the output with one signal sent back into the 'Audio in to Filter' input, and the the other to the Analog four where it receives some reverb processing before the mixer. The 'Dynamic Bank Switching' mod is being triggered by two LFO's from the Analog four's CV out. The TT-303 is recieving MIDI out notes from the Devil Fish. Percussion is from the RS7000."

KORG to Release New ARP Odyssey

via KORG

"Tokyo, Japan - February 17, 2014 - KORG INC. is proud to announce that a faithful recreation of the legendary 1970s analog synthesiser, the ARP Odyssey, is being developed by Korg for release later in 2014.

The ARP Odyssey was released in 1972 by ARP Instruments, Inc. and quickly became famous for its unique rich sound and innovative performance controls. It was a staple for many recording and performing musicians worldwide and was used on countless hit records over many years. The Odyssey was one of the highlights of the ARP company and became a long selling product. With slight updates and improvements it was sold through to 1981.

Korg is also proud to welcome Mr David Friend as our chief advisor on the Odyssey. David Friend established ARP Instruments, Inc. along with Alan Robert Pearlman and is a past president of ARP Instruments, Inc. He was also the lead designer of the original Odyssey in addition to designing or co-designing many other products.

After ARP, Mr Friend became a successful technology entrepreneur. In 2010, he was named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the Emerging Technology category for the New England Region, he has been a lecturer at MIT's Sloan School of Management and is now Chairman & CEO of Carbonite, Inc. He has been a trustee of the New England Conservatory and Berklee College of Music.

In the last few years, KORG INC. has released several top selling analog synthesizers such as the monotrons series, the monotribe, the volca series and the hugely successful MS-20 mini, a faithful fully analog recreation of the 1978 MS-20. With Korg's technology capabilities and planning ability for analog synthesizers, and in collaboration with David Friend, we believe the legendary ARP Odyssey will become a "must have" for an all new generation of music makers.

The ARP Odyssey is scheduled for release in September 2014."
