Introducing Jambé Drum Controller & Synthesis
Jambé - A Quick Look - NAMM 2016 Published on Jan 23, 2016
This one was sent my way via Chris Stack.
Percussionists, producers and music tech aficionados alike were incredibly enthusiastic about Jambé and the qualities that make it unique - portability, extensibility, and the deep expressive possibilities of advanced high-resolution pressure sensor technology. After in-depth consultation with top players, the decision was made to rebuild the software from the ground up to better enable Jambé to exploit the full potential of its hardware.
The result is an incredibly powerful sound engine architecture dubbed Sample Powered Matrix synthesis or SPX. The software was created with the idea that a single hand or stick strike on a Jambé pad maps to an incredibly powerful individual voice, each with advanced expression and sound design features including:
Expanded Gestural Interpretation - normal percussive strike detection and MPE (Multi-touch Polyphonic Expression) style performance techniques, with sounds triggered or modified while a pad is held.
Extensive Synthesis Tools - 2 LFOs, 3 envelopes, 2 tracking generators, and 2 ring modulators per voice. Over 30 modulation sources and over 40 modulation destinations.
Natural Sonic Variations - 3 sample lists per voice with up to 8 samples per list.
Sample List Modes - sequentially trigger the samples in a list, allowing stroke variations or sequential patterns. Crossfade between samples using a modulation matrix and trigger samples simultaneously for chords.
Gestural Crossfade Between Sample Lists - creates effects like a closed slap or dead stroke without tying up multiple pads for an open and closed slap.Massive Polyphony – with the ability to use number of voices playing as a modifier for more natural sound layering.
Unique Features - use the number of voices sounding as a modulation parameter. Enables sculpting the sound as more voices play. Perfect for adding special character to rolls, etc.
Like today’s musicians, Jambé lives in a connected world. Need a new sound for a last-minute gig? Professionally designed instruments can be purchased through your the iOS device. Working with DAWs or other sound modules? MIDI Output allows connection to a world of other musical gear. Play with your hands or sticks? Jambé supports both. Jambé will ship in the 2nd quarter of 2016 and is now available for pre-ordering online. The first 200 customers on the store at getjambe.com can place their Jambé pre-order to secure a place in line, and also receive a $200 discount!

Synth pop jam - AIRA, Bass Station 2, Microkorg, Analog Rytm, Analog Four, Microbrute
Published on Jan 23, 2016 Calle Nilsson
"I came up with the bassline on the Microbrute and built the track from that. The Bass Station 2 was used for the lead sound and it's great for lead sounds, not only bass :)
Main drums are from the TR8 and some extra drums from the Analog Rytm.
Extra synths from the Analog 4 and arpeggio from System 1 and bleeps from TB3. Lead also from the Microkorg."

Alright friends, this is it.. the first test track with the new PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 mixer.. it is just about everything i thought it would be plus a little more.
Now I am taking the step toward starting to write a proper full length album, and what you here on this video/track, is the first jam session. I would love you hear your input, as this one is not final... i will do another recording tomorrow as Cubase could not record 16 tracks at once (it stopped after 2 mins).. so i have to use StudioLive capture, which is fine... so this one only exists as a 2 track version.
Plan going forward is, to record a live session... both to 2 track, and also on 16 track, so i can first post the video on youtube, get your input ... also id like your feedback on what to do with the track going post production. This will take some time (obviously).. but id like to get you involved in the post production process. Any and all comments are welcome, as you can understand i cannot answer all questions and input... but i will try to do my best :)
Also, once i have the stems ready.. for a few tracks, and the album starts closing in on completion.. i will reach out to you for some remix work. (which will be loads of fun !)
This track as you understand is in no way a complete piece of music.. consider it a jam, and a structured piece to try and complete the jigsaw puzzle of the new BURG album. For all we know, this track might not even end up on the album :)
So Enjoy, and play it loud! :D

Strumpad MIDI Controller

"Play a chord on a MIDI piano keyboard and strum those notes on a touch and velocity sensing Strumpad.
Strumpad is a MIDI Controller, it receives MIDI IN messages from other MIDI controllers like keyboards and transmits MIDI out messages based on 6 capacitive touch sensors and a force sensor for MIDI Velocity based on a strain gauge."
