WerkBench 3.1.0 Update

See the demo video that went up earlier today here.

iTunes: WerkBench - Bolasol, Inc.

"What's New in Version 3.1.0

**We added Ableton Link and Kymatica AudioShare support!**

-Ableton Link's technology let's you easily sync WerkBench with other apps and the rest of your studio. No computer or additional software required, It just works. It's amazing. Thanks Ableton.

-AudioShare support allows easy transfer between WerkBench and the popular audio editing/managing app AudioShare by Kymatica. WerkBench can now open all types of audio files into the importer.

**We implemented a better 'initialize' option**

Previously, there was no way to start over completely from scratch. Now you can choose 'New session' via the folder button.

**We implemented a better AudioBus control panel**

-Brought back the play toggle.

-Added a record button. Now you can temporarily disarm recording while working on sounds in another app and then re-arm your steps without having to switch back to WerkBench. Saves you some clicks!

**We fixed some things!**

-Step editing knobs now default to sensible values and are easier to control.

-Some buttons were hard to tap.

-Got rid of a click that would happen in the envelope with long low sounds.

-Saved loops now recall their first and last step correctly."

Something Dark in the Woods

Published on Sep 28, 2017 HardtekStudios

"With summer dying and fall taking over, the creepy things have begun to spread. In this track the Tom Cat and Circuit Mono Station are run thru the TP-2 for some Tube Overdrive & Optical Compression. The Circuit is playing clean. All tracks run thru the Mackie Onyx mixer and then recorded into Logic. Once in Logic, everything is mixed using Compression, EQ and a reverb send. Everything is synced via midi."

Restoring a Memorymoog Plus by Wes Taggart for The Bob Moog Foundation

The Bob Moog Foundation has a post up on Wes Taggart's journey in restoring a Memorymoog Plus. You can find the full post here.

"The Haloed Memorymoog. Probably the Henry the VIII of all the late 70s/early 80s poly analog synths, equally as big and mythical. Also, just as finicky and vindictive.

Michelle Moog-Koussa, the executive director of the Bob Moog Foundation, contacted me in September of 2016 concerning a Memorymoog Plus that was graciously donated by that summer’s raffle winner, Lee Keeley. As the 2016 Memorymoog raffle winner, his dream of owning a solid working Memorymoog came true. Michelle asked me if I was willing to bring Lee’s donated instrument back to life."

noyzelab EMS Sweden Residency

Another visit by noyzelab. This one was at EMS Sweden. Click through for the full post include more info and pics of the Buchla system and more.

"On Feb 1 - 12 I was Guest Composer at EMS Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm, Sweden. I also had my Eurorack modular with Intellijel Shapeshifter, CycleboxII + Expander, Tiptop Z-DSP & Numberz, as well as my uMANIAC and MANIAC cellular automata sequencers and a MacBook Pro + MOTU MicroBookII.

For the creative outcomes I spent my time again working mainly with modulation synthesis such as FM, RM, PWM, AM, and wavetable synthesis via audio rate sequencing. I was also processing sounds from my Rainwire recordings through some pretty exotic effects modules/units, ranging from spring/plate reverbs, modular systems and high end DSP boxes. Some of these recordings appeared in my Rainwire [Processed] installation at Sound+Environment 2017 at Hull University, part of the UK City of Culture 2017..."

ROLAND JUPITER-6 220V WITH EUROPA v2.0 MOD SN 343748

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Europa v2.0 upgrade was so worth the money. It adds so many great features which can be read here...

In 2015 I re-calibrated the synthesizer as per the Roland service notes. Improvement was heard instantly with more consistency across all VCO's, Filters and PWM settings.

The metal end piece just to the right of the top most key had been "re-engineered" in the past by a previous owner. When I bought the synth, there was a poorly repaired slot in the piece which I re-repaired and repainted the piece. It is not the exact colour as the rest of the Jupiter, but it is close and I'm just mentioning it so you know everything there is to know.

There are a few chips to the paintwork on the face shown in the photos. The aluminium end pieces have a few nicks, but overall, very good condition. The synthesizer has remained in good care in my home. Close up photos show these.

It all works perfectly, no scratchy pots or sliders, no missing caps, nothing bent or broken."
