Ensoniq SQ80 / ESQ1 iPad Editor for MIDI Designer Pro

You'll find the free template here. You'll find MIDI Designer Pro here.

A quick note from the creator of the template: "This was created with MD Pro 1.7.0. Since I only own the SQ80 I've not been able to test it for the ESQ1. However, if I'm not mistaken, the main difference between the two is the additional oscillator waveforms available in the SQ80. I'd expect the ESQ1 to ignore values outside the normal range, but if it causes problems they can be easily deleted from the list. I can say with certainty that it will NOT work with the ESQm as the addressing of parameters is different..."

EMS' Peter Zinovieff on New Midi Controller "Touché" by Expressive E Coming to NAMM

Peter Zinovieff talks about modern musical interfaces

Published on Jan 6, 2016 Expressive E

"The inventor of one of the most famous synthesisers of all the time, the VCS3, talks about Expressive E' s new musical interface..."

And some info directly in via a contact at Expressive E:

"I work for a young company named « Expressive E», located in Paris.

We are developing a new kind of musical controller named « Touché » which will be unveiled for the first time at the NAMM SHOW 2016.

Touché, is an innovative controller, a revolution in how you play with software and hardware synthesizers by offering extremely precise and sensitive gesture controls.

Its wood surface was designed to react to the smallest vibration, the slightest pressure of your hand, allowing synth players to shape sounds spontaneously as with an acoustic instrument.

A great number of artists (Adrian Utley (Portishead), John Baggott (Massive Attack, Robert Plant) , Rone, Matt Robertson (Björk), Peter Zinovieff, etc.) already agree on the fantastic potential of this product : Touché appears as a breath of fresh air in the world of MIDI controllers!"

Update: Expressive E will be at NAMM booth #4807 for those attending.

You'll find a PDF of the Media kit here, captured to the left as JPEGs starting with the second image down.

Werk that Mother - Moog Mother 32, Werkstatt, EMX1, Microbrute, Roland Space Echo

Published on Jan 6, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"I'm continuing with my Synth Jam Journal. Maybe 20 minutes or so of getting in the groove, then hit the record button. And play. It's quite therapeutic and a helluva lot of fun. The pretty lights are awesome too.

The Mother 32 is quite a thing. Even simple patches can really get it going. It doesn't sound to me as balls out as some of the Moogs I've heard, but I don't think it's trying to be one of those.

Hope you enjoy."

Hardfloor - Acperience 1 (Freebass 383 cover)

Published on Jan 7, 2016 tiergrinder

"My adaptation from Hardfloor's classic track Acperience 1.

Freebass FB383 was one of the first synths I ever bought, over 15 years ago. I remember back in the day when I tried to cover some hardfloor tunes and tweaked its knobs for hours. Never got the tunes quite rights but it sure was fun :)

Its been years and it was time to revisit my favourite acid synth jam song. I recorded this song in several takes. All the 303 lines are one long tweak and recorded live from start to finish.

This adaptation is not 100% true to the originals greatness. I didn't manage to replicate the chords even though I got the synth sound pretty close.

Main bassline : SH101
303 arp line : FB-383
303 main line : FB-383
Chord synth : SH01 Gaia
Drums : MB-808 and TR-707
Additional 909 Crash symbals and claps are 909 samples.

Delays and distortion added in Ableton live.
I used Ableton's own Overdrive audio effect on 303 lines."
