New u-he RePro-1 - Research ProjectOne Software Synth in the Works

This one in via Soviet Space Child. It was shared by Urs of u-he on the KVR forum:

"Hi all,

Somehow, while we were working on very yummy filter algorithms, we stumbled across this:

The alpha version is going to be reserach ware, i.e. free like Protoverb. Hence 'RePro-1 - Research Project One'. It'll be a CPU hog because we want you guys to compare the unoptimised filter algorithms. We expect to release the alpha version shortly after the Superbooth in early April 2016.

The final version will be souped up with some extra features (the screenshot may make the guess easy) and it will be released for AAX/AU/VST with highly optimised filters by the end of 2016.

This is a monophonic synth. The final version will be an exceptionally close emulation of some nifty little vintage synth, with some nifty little extras added (but still not polyphonic).

In short: This is *not* coming soon! - But it'll sound great, and you're hereby prepared for some participation to happen!

Thoughts?

Cheers,

- Urs"

Guessing the Sequential Circuits Pro-One based on the name and layout of course, with the extras being the modulation section, sequencer and/or more.

MPC Electronics "The KIT" w Bel BD80 Delay Samples

Published on Jan 20, 2016 Christopher Anderson

"a very 808ish 80's drum synth, "The KIT," bangs some beats abd triggers loops and samples off 80s British digital delay Bel BD80. The Kit has 2 trigger/pulse outputs plus a 3rd trigger/sync from the auto hi-hat patterns. I use this to trigger the Bel (it can also trigger from audio input) which has both CV and Gate inputs."

You don't see demos of these often. Some pics of one for sale was just posted here. You'll find the auction link to the sale there if you are interested.

New NAMM 2016: Make Noise 0-Coast Video and a Note on NAMM Post Updates in General

A new NAMM floor video for Make Noise's new 0-Coast desktop synthesizer has been added to the first post here. This one is from Sonic State.

Note NAMM floor videos tend to become repetitive, but every now and then you will discover something new. Each presentation gives you a slightly new perspective. For that reason I like to consolidate all the videos into one post, so expect to see a number of posts like this one to go up through the event. These posts will continue to receive the NAMM channel labels below so those following them do not miss them.

And remember, you can filter by NAMM posts only via the NAMM channels at the bottom of any NAMM post or via the New Gear! link in the site menu at the top right just below the site search box.

ROLAND JD-XA // OWN SOUND CREATIONS // part 2

Published on Jan 20, 2016 LESINDES

"Testing the ROLAND JD-XA. Own sound creations.
Using arpeggios and sequences. Tweaking occasionally. JD-XA does not contain any drum kits as its smaller and cheaper sibling is providing. If there are any drums to be heard they're mostly programmed from scratch with the internal sound engines -- both digital and analog.
More thoughts about the synth:
Many options. But it is a little bit the JD800 problem: the basic sound is quickly edited but the fine tuning takes hours because you have to step thru hundreds of parameters in a 2-line-display (without dial!!!).
No computer editor!
The sequencer is almost the same as in JD-Xi with the same flaws. It crashes frequently and it DOES NOT TRANSPOSE! I hope Roland will fix and implement this with the next update.
About the integration of digital and analog section: The routing is a bit confusing to me but once you managed to lea a digital sound through the analog section it sounds very nice. The digital waves are also well chosen and sounding. For understanding the concept: There are two synths -- one digital, one analog -- that only share the housing and the FX. As a consequence you cannot choose a digital waveform in your analog synth you can only lead a complete sound of the digital machine through the analog section for sound enhancement.
But all in all it is a versatile well sounding synth!"
