NAMM2015 Mark Verbos introduces the new Verbos products

Published on Jan 23, 2015 Analogue Zone Showroom / Hangszer

Touchplate Keyboard & new Multi Envelope euororack module. I'm not seeing info on the Multi Envelope on the Verbos site yet. The following is description for the Touchplate Keyboard. You can find a video demo from May of last year posted here and an image in verbos system case here.

"In the great tradition of West Coast synthesis, the Verbos Electronics Touchplate Keyboard is a gold plated controller with 3 independent sections for sending control voltage signals. First is a 32 key volt/oct trimmed piano arrangement with 3 octave selects. It has an output for pitch CV, pressure (actually a measurement of the surface area of the finger touching the key), gate and 10ms trigger. Second is a pressure sensitive up/down bender that can be used to bend the VCO or anything that needs bending. Finally, an 8 key tunable keyboard with CV pressure and gate outputs. The Keyboard can be powered from normal Euro power or an external 9-15 volt positive tip DC supply, for use with un-power skiffs.

NAMM2015 Abstract Data new Eurorack Modules

"Analogue Zone introduces the new Eurorack Modules from Abstract Data at NAMM2015 Show"

See this post for the module line-up.

Todd Barton with Buchla Easel AUX Expander and Easel iProgram Card at NAMM

"The Aux Card offers a noise source that can be variably filtered from full-spectrum White noise down to sub-audio 'Infra-Red' CVs. The auxiliary control oscillator allows the Modulation Oscillator to assume audio duties and can be used as the modulation source for a variety of uses. It can even be modulated itself. An A-440 reference allows quick tuning of your Easel with the flick of a switch."

"The Buchla Music Easel iProgram card is the ultimate accessory to modernize your Music Easel–a flexible replacement for the original resistor-based Program Cards. It makes use of the Program Card slot and enables patch editing, patch/librarian management, and even real-time performance from an iPad via the iProgram Card App. The iProgram Card communicates with the iPad via WiFi*. The iProgram card can store up to 24 presets in local flash memory so that it can be used independently from the iPad application. Two push buttons allow the user to scroll through and load any stored preset."

I missed going to NAMM this year, but it looks like Todd made sure MATRIXSYNTH was represented! Thank you Todd!
