Analogue Zone Modular Synth Workshop at Kontra Klub Budapest

Published on Apr 3, 2014 Analogue Zone Showroom / Hangszer·35 videos

"We held a Modular Synth Workshop at Kontra Klub in Budapest on 02.04.14.

At first, an unforgettably lovely psychedelic mood was set up with Snazzy FX's Dronebank, which was processed through a Doepfer A-135-1 mixer being modulated by a Doepfer A-143-9 Quadrature LFO. The main idea behind the workshop was to present Tiptop Audio's Trigger Riot along with its TR drum modules, and also to demonstrate simple percussive sounds with Doepfer modules.

The workshop ended with Banyek's live act.

Audiobus 2.0 Now Available - Game Changer for iOS Devices

iTunes: Audiobus - Audiobus Pty Ltd

This is a game changer: "Presets let you save and share connections and the settings of the individual apps within your Audiobus workflow." If iOS MIDI editors support this you should be able to extend this to your hardware synths as well. Be sure to see the following videos: Presets in Audiobus 2, State Saving in Audiobus 2, and Multiple Effects in Audiobus 2.

What's New in Version 2.0
***IMPORTANT FOR EXISTING Version 1 USERS: If you're encountering a crash when purchasing the In-App Purchase, please delete the Audiobus app, reboot your iDevice and then install it freshly again. You won't be charged twice. We're submitting a bug fix right now. ***

Audiobus 2 introduces a brand new interface and a number of significant new features:
- New Multi-Routing feature (In-App Purchase) allows unlimited connections and effect chaining.
- Presets let you save and share connections and the settings of the individual apps within your Audiobus workflow.
- Multi-channel input hardware support.
- New hardware latency controls

And the press release:

"Audiobus Launches Significant Update to Groundbreaking iOS App-to-App Audio Platform

Melbourne, Australia, April 3rd 2014

Audiobus Pty Ltd, are pleased to announce the launch of the highly anticipated second version of their award winning, versatile and widely acclaimed app-to-app audio routing app Audiobus.

The first major update to Audiobus since its initial late-2012 release launches today. With hundreds of compatible apps and powerful new features like Multi-Routing, Presets and State-Saving, this highly-anticipated release is expected to further expand the possibilities of iOS as a music-making platform.

Audiobus 2’s new Multi-Routing feature, unlocked by a $4.99 USD in-app purchase, makes available to users the full power of their iOS devices. Unlimited inter-app connections can be made, constrained only by the power of users’ devices. This allows for chaining of effects and full control over audio routing. With additional sophisticated support for multi-channel input hardware, Audiobus 2 makes iOS an even more attractive platform for music production and performance.

Presets allow Audiobus configurations to be saved and recalled immediately, and shared with other users via email, Twitter or Facebook.

The revolutionary new State-Saving feature allows compatible apps to save and recall their configurations as part of an Audiobus preset. This provides users with a comprehensive workspace saving, sharing and recall facility. More than a dozen apps already support the new State-Saving feature, including Nave, JamUp, Swoopster, Sector and DM1.

These innovative new features are supported by a beautiful and functional new user interface that gently melts colours from the icons of loaded apps into the background.

'The thing people love about Audiobus is that it’s a meta-app – it’s an app that makes all your other apps better, more versatile, more creative,' said Audiobus director and developer Michael Tyson today. 'We’re really proud of Audiobus 2 and think it’s going to help people get even more out of their apps and their iOS devices.'

Audiobus 2 is available on the App Store today for $4.99 USD.

Arturia adopts Audiobus 2 advances with iSEM synth app update

“'I have gained immense pleasure from experimenting with Arturia’s iSEM for iPad. Being an owner of the original hardware synth, I can confirm that this virtual app stands up, providing a combination of complete familiarity combined with total stability, versatility, and the welcome addition of plenty of presets, plus extra pages and functions, such as the performance layer. An absorbing experience of real quality, I am thoroughly impressed — and at a bargain price!'

- Alan Wilder (Recoil/ex-Depeche Mode)

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to announce availability of an Audiobus 2-supporting update (V1.0.2) to iSEM, its authentic recreation of the 1974-vintage Oberheim Synthesizer Expander Module® (SEM) for Apple’s iPad, as of April 3...

As Arturia’s second supreme subtractive synthesizer recreation for iPad, iSEM has proven popular with both first-time buyers beginning a journey into the wonderful world of synths and also seasoned synth professionals like former Depeche Mode keyboard player/programmer/arranger Alan Wilder, who actively appreciates both its authenticity as an original Oberheim SEM owner and the latest developments possible via its iPad host: 'Being the owner of the original hardware synth, I can confirm that this virtual app stands up, providing a combination of complete familiarity combined with total stability, versatility, and the welcome addition of plenty of presets, plus extra pages and functions.'

While Arturia always appreciates such support from acclaimed artists, appealing iSEM improvements abound in V1.0.2 as one of the first such synth apps to support all Audiobus 2 functions. Running as many apps in parallel or series as the host device can handle, Audiobus 2 can handle multiple, independent pipelines, with as many inputs, filters, or outputs as the user wants. Thanks to this Audiobus 2 support, iSEM users can cleverly save presets of their connection graphs and share them via e-mail or social networks. Needless to say, the musical world is getting smaller, it seems, while more musicians than ever can enjoy those thrilling SEM sounds!

Indeed, iSEM continues to do what it does best — providing iPad users the world over with an authentic recreation of the still-sought-after analogue sounds of Oberheim’s original dual-oscillator SEM monosynth and its subsequent integration into that Californian company’s pioneering polysynth developments. Ingeniously, iSEM quite literally taps into all of this and then some, putting more musicality at anyone’s fingertips than its namesake designer dared dream possible back in Oberheim’s Seventies salad days!

Today, then, it’s hard not to be impressed with iSEM offering so much to so many for so little. Just ask Alan Wilder!

Appropriate iPad owners can purchase and directly download iSEM from Apple’s App Store for $9.99 USD/€8.99 EURO/£6.99 GBP."
