New Folktek Alter 1 and 2 Now on Indiegogo

Folktek's new Alter 1 and 2 are now on Indiegogo.

Details via the campaign:

"First; Yes, we just had a successful indiegogo campaign for the Folktek Mescaline and we're currently working to fulfill those orders (and it's going well and I think we're still on schedule!).

Second; Two reasons as to why we would have another campaign for a new Folktek release:

1. These cost a lot of money to make. By pre-ordering, you're helping us to pay for the manufacturing and production costs and we can give you a better deal for a limited time.

2. We can gauge interest and have an idea of how many to make. If there's interest in just 50 modules, why make 300? If we make only 50 and there's interest in 300, it takes us months longer to fulfill that interest because manufacturing and production takes basically the same amount time whether we create 50 or 500.

If you're unfamilar with Folktek, please see Folktek.com and find us on instagram and facebook.

This is a simple campaign and we're not force feeding it. If you like the modules, preorder now is cool - 2 weeks only at the limited price either here or on the folktek site. If you'd rather wait until they're out, please do."

Pond

Published on Jun 13, 2017 Randy Piscione

"Starts off quiet, picks up when the drums come in. Use headphones if you can. Better audio is here: http://randypiscione.bandcamp.com/tra...

Sequence, bloopy percussion and lead is the modular. The lead is the nonlinearciruits VCO on the left and a Make Noise DPO on the right. Lower pad-ish thing is the Phenol driven by the modular. Whistle-ish thing is the Kurzweil, and so are the drums."

"Calling this Pond is a bit of a stretch but it's what I thought of. It starts out really mellow, like a pond just as dusk is approaching, where you might here the odd bird but not much else. But as night moves in, things start to happen in a pond, all sorts of little creatures come out.

Instrumentation is a combination of the Eurorack modular, Kilpatrick Phenol and some Kurzweil K2600XS"

The coalescence of chaos

Published on Jun 10, 2017 Alan Currall

"A live recording, on the day following the UK General Election, of a patch I was working on just a couple of days before.
The audio isn't great because it's going straight from the desk 'Record Out' to the camera 'mic in'.
Enjoy with caution."

Unfiltered Audio Integrates with ROLI BLOCKS

Published on May 24, 2017

"Unfiltered Audio is the first plugin developer to fully embrace ROLI's Lightpad Block control surface, offering easy-to-use control for performance and production."

"Plugin Alliance announces promotion partnership with ROLI

'ROLI is a true innovator in our industry, so we were really excited to partner them up with arguably our most innovative Alliance member, Unfiltered Audio.'

- Plugin Alliance CEO Matt Ward, 2017

SANTA CRUZ, CA, USA: Plugin Alliance, a new ‘Über-standard’ supporting all major plugin formats and uniting some of the best-known international audio companies under one virtual roof, is proud to announce a promotion partnership with London-headquartered digital age music- making device creator ROLI — resting on Plugin Alliance partner Unfiltered Audio being the first plugin developer to fully embrace ROLI’s revolutionary Lightpad Block control surface with its recently released Instant Delay echo effects plugin powerhouse — as of June 5...

In a six-month promotion running from May 25 to November 25, Instant Delay (MSRP $49.00 USD) is free for ROLI BLOCKS product purchasers who will, upon registration, be issued with a voucher code for redemption at www.plugin-alliance.com. Plugin Alliance will also provide an upgrade path to all Instant Delay license holders to the latest (v1.1) update of Sandman Pro (MSRP $99.00 USD) — Plugin Alliance partner Unfiltered Audio’s undisputed ultimate delay, doubling as a transmogrifying time machine making serious sonic travelling more musically adventurous than ever, thanks to major performance improvements and some serious upgrades to an already killer feature set — for $29.00 USD during this creative promotion partnership.

As a driving force behind the partnership, Plugin Alliance CEO Matt Ward sees the cutting-edge companies concerned as a match made in heaven, revealing, “ROLI is a true innovator in our industry, so we were really excited to be able to partner them up with arguably our most innovative Alliance member, Unfiltered Audio. Neither company is satisfied with redoing what’s already been done; rather, they strive for new ways to create music and sounds. We can’t wait to see what the world’s creative community will come up with by combining BLOCKS and Instant Delay.”

Sentiments that are surely shared by ROLI Senior Director of Developer Products and Partnerships Jean-Baptiste Thiebaut: “We are delighted to partner with Plugin Alliance and Unfiltered Audio on the release of the new Instant Delay and updated Sandman Pro. Their integration with BLOCKS shows both the cutting-edge quality of their plugin designs as well as the exciting potential of BLOCKS as an open platform for app development.”

For his company’s not inconsiderable part in the proceedings, Unfiltered Audio’s Dr. Michael Hetrick clearly concurs: “When ROLI announced the Lightpad Block, we were blown away. The combination of portability and flexibility excited us so much that we reached out to ROLI with our design ideas. We think our performance-based modulation system demonstrates a future of plugins as real-time instruments — not just point-and-click studio tools. We cannot wait to hear what our users make with this creative combo!”

Instant Delay is free for ROLI BLOCKS users during the first six months after its May 25 release, during which time Plugin Alliance will also provide an upgrade path for all Instant Delay license holders to Sandman Pro for $29.00 USD."
