Elektron Announces Overbridge Computer Integration

"We are very proud to reveal the forthcoming Overbridge implementation for Analog Four, Analog Keys, and Analog Rytm. This breakthrough technology completely erases the line between analog hardware and software plug-in instruments. For the first time in history, seamless DAW integration of analog synthesizers and drum machines is a reality.

Full VST/AU control

Thanks to Overbridge, the Analog range of Elektron machines can be deeply integrated with PC and Mac computers. The customized and machine specific software plugins, available in VST and AU formats, give direct parameter access over USB and allows efficient DAW based sound editing and sequencing. Overbridge merges the functionality of software plug-ins with the unmatched sound of analog hardware.


Bi-directional USB audio streaming

Overbridge makes multi tracking easy. Connect a USB cable and record multiple Elektron machine voices to separate DAW tracks in 24 bit quality. Or send audio from a DAW, process it with the analog circuitry of the Elektron machines and bring back the results to a new DAW track – all over a single USB cable and without timing issues. Overbridge even allows the Analog range of machines to be used as multi-channel USB sound cards.

Total Recall

Management of analog sounds and sequences has never been easier. Any adjustments made either directly on the Elektron hardware or via the software plug-in can be automatically recalled when loading a DAW project. Overbridge offers ultimate convenience when handling Elektron machine data.

Overbridge will be a part of a free OS update expected to be released Q4 2014. The OS update will work on all Analog Four, Analog Keys, and Analog Rytm units in existence."

Arturia Announces Alluring MiniBrute SE Silver Dream Machine

"“Arturia did a great job of implementing my classic filter design. It’s nice to see my design being brought back to life in a quality product.”

- Nyle Steiner (electronic musical instrument designer)

[Note there was a silver version of the original Steiner Parker Synthacon as seen here.]

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to launch MiniBrute SE — a ‘special edition’ of its amazing analogue monosynth par excellence — at Musikmesse 2014, March 12-15 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Arturia’s red-hot MiniBrute Analog Synthesizer set the electronic musical instrument world alight immediately upon its introduction in 2012. Indeed, it rapidly reset the price/performance ratio benchmark when successfully soaring through the subtractive synthesis sound barrier while singlehandedly setting a new standard for what a hardware synthesizer should be. Hot on its heels comes a ‘special edition’ that is very special indeed. MiniBrute SE shares the same physical footprint as the original MiniBrute, but builds upon this amazingly compact and bijou analogue monosynth in both looks and features.

Although a sturdy and stylish brushed aluminium casing with wooden sides surely make MiniBrute SE stand out from the analogue crowd, skin-deep good looks are not the be and end all here, however, as added functionality runs deeper still. An all-new step SEQUENCER elegantly expands playing options with the MiniBrute SE — six Pattern sequences with up to 64 steps each to create multiple musical phrases, to be precise. Yet it is capable of so much more than simply replaying pre- programmed Pattern sequences ad infinitum. Users can create new musical phrases from existing ones by changing the playback Mode, Gate Len (timing), and Swing settings in realtime from the clearly labelled front panel — perfect for inspiring new musical ideas and creating exciting live performances on the fly.

MiniBrute SE is proof positive that the original MiniBrute was no fly-by-night success story. A pure analogue signal path and attractive features like a multi-wave OSCILLATOR and Sub Osc combined with a huge-sounding Steiner-Parker multimode FILTER (fittingly revised by Nyle Steiner himself) and wide-ranging modulation capabilities confirm that MiniBrute SE continues to innovate while breathing new life into recordings and stage performances. Add fantastic features like Ultrasaw (generating shimmering sawtooth waveforms), Metalizer (adding extreme triangle waveform-induced harmonics), LFO (with sample and hold), and full USB/MIDI/CV connectivity into the musical mix, and what have you got? A killer-sounding, step sequencing-capable synth with looks to die for, that’s what!

Designed for the analogue purist with a creative spirit in mind, MiniBrute SE successfully squeezes an amazing amount of creative options into its eye-catching, exceptionally portable design. The truly hands-on artistic appeal of subtractive synthesis and supreme step sequencing are alive and kicking here — harder than ever! Indeed, it’s all about analogue goodness — all gain and no pain!

So stand out from the analogue crowd and make that silver dream a reality real quick with MiniBrute SE. No need for a reality check!

MiniBrute SE will be available to purchase at the end of May from the Arturia online store (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy/online-shop.html)
or any authorised dealer for €549.00 EUR/$599.00 USD."

New Upgrade for the Sequential Circuits Multi-Trak Adds MIDI CC & More

SCI Sequential Multitrak - Midi CC Firmware upgrade

Published on Mar 10, 2014 LeonDigz·19 videos

Update: two additional notes:
- CC's also work when the unit is in the "Stack"/Split mode, as well as when it is in midi mode 4 (multitimbral).
- MIDI CC receive only.

This is pretty incredible news. The SCI Multi-Trak offered a velocity sensitive keyboard which the Six-Trak lacked, however the Six-Trak supported MIDI CC which allowed you to use external controllers to edit its parameters. The Multi-Trak lacked CC so you could only edit it directly. This upgrade will finally bring MIDI CC support to the Multi-Trak and the CCs will match the Six-Trak with the addition of a few extra parameters only found on the Multi-Trak. If you have both synths and/or a TaunTek upgraded Max, you should be able to edit them at the same time which should be interesting for layering and editing patches. You'll also be able to do some decent A/B tests between the synths set to the same parameters.

Video Description and link to more details:

"I've been working with Bob Grieb to beta test & provide feedback on a firmware upgrade for the SCI multitrack. The Upgrade accomplishes the following;

-Midi CC parameter control for all parameter matching the Six-Trak & Max.
-Midi CC control has been code optimized for better performance.
-Additional 4 midi cc parameters LFO, VCA & VCF velocity sensitivity amount + a special request to unlock the multiplier on the VCO envelope.
-VCO envelope now has a multiplier via cc#43 to achieve 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x & 16x original depth allowing for more diverse percussive (synth drum) & sfx type patches.
-Two sets of factory patches are now embedded in ROM and can be loaded holding down a button on power up.

More information can be found at;

This project was built upon development of a SCI Max upgrade Bob Grieb and I also worked on which gives this oft looked over lil' brother of the Multitrak & Sixtrak a new lease on life. http://www.tauntek.com/SCIMax.htm

Thanks + Congrats to Mr. Grieb for making a fantasy reality for many Multitrak owners.

*P.S mind you ears/speakers, this synth noodling uses a lot of the cross-mod feature of the CEM3394."

Unfold: MIDERA; Radikal Technologies Spectralis 2 Acid track withEventide Space

Published on Mar 11, 2014 acemonvw·91 videos

"Enjoying the Spectralis and the amazing Hybrid synthesizer on board.
The Asynth is routed to the Eventide Space while drum samples are
routed through the 1-2 direct outputs (not through the Eventide).

I'm using two trigger groups, one oscillator going through the LP
filter, two oscillators going through the MM LP filter.

Enjoy :)"

Groovesizer Red drives the Oberkorn

Published on Mar 11, 2014 noisythang·31 videos

"Just built this little unit, thanks and praise to MoShang. Immediately thought of something fun to do with it. The Oberkorn can be controller via MIDI through the binary jacks. A simple chromatic scale in the RED, and fun ensues."
